The Walrus
10 Ship StSunday roasts or evening meals
Great pub with regularly changing good selection of beers including local brews. Probably our favourite beer garden (massive for Brighton) and the food is good too. Also close to sea but much nicer and less busy than the seafront places.

Food for Friends
17-18 Prince Albert StFine dining veggie restaurant. Very good.
Best vegan pizza. Perfectly cooked sourdough bases and the only vegan cheese I've even tasted that is actually worth eating-esp the smoked ricotta.

Sightseeing
Brighton Pavilion
The Lanes
Great independent shops, coffee, lunch, pubs, mooching etc
Parks & Nature
The South Downs
great for walking running, biking followed by a country pub
You have to end up here at some point! If you are here in mid-summer I would avoid the section directly down from the station where all the tourists come straight down the hill from the station. Head right or left and find nicer swimming and more space in hove or kemp town.

Drinks & Nightlife
A brighton favourite. Massive pub but a cozy vibe as there are multiple rooms and so many many nooks and crannies you might never find your way out.. Food not bad either. Gets busy at weekends.
