The Hop Poles
It may look uninspiring from the outside, but we reckon that you'll be pretty impressed once you get in there, but enter at your own risk because we'll tell you now, you won't get a seat for the sea of Brighton's best. We love it for its wit, humour, looks and charm, oh and for one of the best menu's in town. The Hop Poles seems to have pioneered the hub–cap sculpture craze currently sweeping Brighton with crocks adorning the ceiling. Even if it's the middle of winter there's an outdoor heated terrace, but it's always packed so you won't get a seat there either.
