Caxton Arms?

Anyone know whether it's reopened?

 

[The Large One]

Not yet. Not long, apparently.

I swear they gave it a bit of a refurb in 2006 too!

I liked it how it was with the poker table and the colourful garden.

As long as it's open in time for next season I'll be happy.

I have heard that the new owners want to go for a wine-bar type market when it re-opens.

I believe the delay is due to their plans for the garden.

They wanted to ake the garden area bigger, probably due to the smoking ban. I think the plans upset a lot of the locals as it is a very residential area and they were none too happy about a racket being made outside, potentially after midnight.

I doubt it will reopen until there is an agreement between all parties.

That is why old gits like me find Brighton so boring and genteel nowadays. The Caxton was a dreadful pub in the late 60s where I could sometimes be found. The "residents" never complained when people like me threw a technicolour yawn in their scruffy little gardens. Charringtons Best Bitter deserved no better! Puking was accepted as part of the colour of living in central Brighton.
What a dreary world we now live in!

You want to consider 50 yards east of the Caxton Arms - aka The North Laine. The NLCA (North Laine Community Association) gives the Falmer NIMBYs a damn good run for its money when it comes to complaining about... well, anything really.

I used to really like the caxton but it lost all its character for me when it changed hands and the old landlord took all the old pics with him

 

[Uncle Buck]

Horrid pub.

 

[Tubby Mondays]

Its Shepherd Shit as well now! Avoid.
