[NSC] Sunday Lunch at Caxton Arms

[Lenny Rider]

Mrs H and I had our booster jabs today at Churchill Square so took the long overdue opportunity to have Sunday lunch at Brett Mendoza’s Caxton Arms in BN1

Both the food and service were Ten out of ten, surely part of the edict of the Albion/NSC family should be to look out for and support each other?, so I heartily( pardon the pun) recommend as many of you to do the same in the run up to Xmas. (And beyond)

Not disagreeing but there’s a danger of this facility being abused as advertising

Of course it’s not advertising, it’s not the pub owner starting the thread.
If someone starts a thread asking for recommendations for a Sunday lunch at a Brighton pub,I’m sure the Caxton would be mentioned.

There is also a thread that regularly appears on Brighton restaurants

Spot on. Brett is a great landlord and often helps to raise money for charities especially The Martlets. Helped my fundraising once £700 in a night. Not many pubs left like The Caxton in town centres.

A great thing about Brighton and Hove is the amazing amount of good pubs like the Caxton all over town

I don’t for one moment agree that it’s advertising; it’s just a recommendation!

But it did make me think, why isn’t there a dedicated section of NSC where its members could advertise the products and/or services they have to offer?

Agree but not many left bang in the centre was my point.

Sush.....yes the Caxton is a good pub with good beer and good food but don't flippin' go telling everyone!

I don’t think I’ve ever looked at it. I’m sure the Caxton is an excellent pub. Shall I name and shame a few that aren’t, even if some may disagree?

A separate section is a great idea, ie a NSC Trip Advisor when we can ask, recommend, not recommend, etc without it over loading the main board

I agree spoilt for choice . My best ever meal in a pub was at the ginger pig in central Hove .

I like The Stanley in central Fishersgate.

Must admit my go-to for pre match scoff in central Brighton is the Prince of Wales. The cheese & ham omelettes in there are absolutely outrageous.

Must give the Caxton a whirl some time though. I'm a big fan of the non-chain pubs when it comes to grub, you can always tell the difference.

I know of a great Newhaven based plumber

Ah I see. Missed that. Although, North Laine is very good to be fair in terms of great pubs, certainly compared to most city centres!

I agree entirely with your sentiments about NSC members looking after each other but.....I'm really trying not to die this winter Ian [emoji6]

Agree , big chain pubs are usually very poor on food quality .

Sussex restaurants actually, not merely Brighton ones. Sussex does exist outside the big city!
