Enjoyed a carvery lunch here to celebrate our grandson's birthday. Choice of lamb, port or beef or some of each meat. Baked vegetables and salads available in self serve area. Huge amount of meat served. Very friendly and helpful staff and extremely well priced. Seems to be a favourite spot for our extended family . A sunday meal I think

After shopping nearby, my husband and I came here for our dinner. We had the rump steak that was the special (20) for Thursday nights. 500 gms of meat and a reasonable salad bar. However this time we found the meat to have very little flavour. May just have been unlucky this time. We had a friendly greeting and a table overlooking the sea and a beautiful sunset. Will order something different next time

This Hotel (affectionately known as "The Espy"), is wonderfully located right on the sea front, with a great view of the beach and the Brighton Jetty.
Meals are quite good and reasonably priced. Service has always been fine. Sail covered area out the front, with table and chairs, for those who like the fresh salt air and the afternoon sun.
Being right on the beach, means that during the warmer days, parking is at a premium - it's free but hard to find close by. Just make sure you are prepared to walk a bit, to get from your car to the dining room.
If the pub is full, there are several cafe's on the other side of the road, that are always bustling with customers. It's a real lively area, with lots of sidewalk seating.
Check out Google maps for pictures.
Recommended!

Approximate cost: $20

Fantastic food, right on the beachfront... Parking can be a challenge but everything's pretty close & in the entertainment book!

Another meeting with our coffee morning friends here in our favourite meeting spot. Great mugs of coffee or hot chocolate served by friendly staff. No pressure to hurry up and leave. Very clean and tidy and there is a great cafe menu here in this part of the hotel. It operates like a cafe. Elsewhere there is a bistro/dining room with salad/vegetable bar etc. The cafe area is very popular with groups who go for a walk along the beach and then have refreshments. Loyalty card here too.

Had a belated birthday lunch with our family and their friends at the cafe section of the Esplanade Hotel. Very busy but all the meals were well presented. The fillet mignon was prepared as asked for - medium to well done which meant it was just nicely cooked through. One of the nicest steak meals I have eaten for a long time.

This hotel is on the esplanade overlooking the Brighton Jetty. Met friends here for coffee and sat outside in the extensive seating area. This is enclosed by glass to protect from the breeze. A very relaxed area and as we talk a lot we do not feel pressured to move on. Inside seating inside a bar area but more like a coffee shop. The dining room is in another area so plenty of room. Love visiting both areas.

Came here for a work lunch, this venue is a great location with a beach view, service was great and couldn't knock it. I ordered a chicken parmigiana and it came out and was nice and big, the salad was fresh and the parmi was awesome, will definitely come back if I'm in the area

Came here for the buffet breakfast, which they have every Sunday and Public Holidays.
They offered sausages, scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns, mushroom, tomatoes, fruits, cereals, pancakes, yoghurt, bread and baked beans. There was an interesting style of toaster available to cook the breads. Each of the other items were in a warmer tray, which they would continually top up.

We had a seat by the window overlooking the beach. Pleasant breakfast with a fantastic view. Service was as expected.
