The Stirling Arms Pub & Rooms

The food in this pub is very good restaurant quality at premium pub prices. There’s a very carried menu with even the top class burgers being home made aged pattys. Jerome, the French chef knows his onions. We also had a Tarte Tatin… the best one we’ve had since a Michelin star chef made me one at South Lodge! They also have Harvey’s beer… always a winner!

Stayed over night last night. The room was spotlessly clean, lovely fresh sheets and towels. I had a very friendly and helpful welcome off the staff and enjoyed a great nights sleep after a busy working day. The pub has a nice atmosphere and good selection behind the bar. It’s a pity they don’t offer a breakfast option but there are plenty of eateries in the vicinity. Would I stay again? Absolutely!

Went for lunch with a few friends ....Beer garden was very clean and pretty ...We had six meals and everyone was satisfied ...Good selection of beers ......Very good experience all round .....Nice to have such a traditional pub with a modern menu ...

What a wonderful friendly pub! I stayed 1 night for a work trip. I was welcomed with a warm, comforting smile & an excited greeting. My room was clean & decorated beautifully with lots of refreshments if I needed. The bed was so comfortable & the shower was spotless. As a lone traveller i felt so safe, the rooms were behind locked doors. I sat outside with a cold drink, there were lots of locals coming & going (a very good sign). The food was amazing, I had a home made burger & fries. When I arrived I was asked 'Have you stayed with us before', I hadn't but will definitely stay again. I have requested further work trips from my boss as I know exactly where I will stay! And I can't wait!

This is the best Sunday Roast I’ve had in a very long time. I’ve eaten in many restaurants and pubs in Brighton but have to say this ticks all my boxes. The staff are friendly and caring and the atmosphere is fabulous. The chef certainly knows his stuff too we were a table of 10 and all meals came out on time and beautifully served. First class all round. I will be back and often. Do your self a favour and check it out.

I stayed in ROOM 3 OVER THE CHRISTMAS PERIOD I wished i has looked at the room before i paid and i may have changed my mind about staying The room had damp on the walls paint flakeing and black mould starting a the back corner of the shower and when you go in the shower at first you can smell the damp Also i was there 4 night and only two little things of milk and a started toilet roll which did not last the 4 night i used the tissues. also you need a better cleaner as dust round the edges ,hope she could pick up my sock pieces My son found the the Stirling Arms as we some times have lunch there when i am down so i felt i could not complain as it would have spoilt our time together small room no where to sit no coat pegs for coats such a small wardrobe in all you are not value for money It is a shame and you are so close to my son as i am often down i have chosen i leave feed back on trip adviser as you have not bothered to contact me , your manager took my complaint on the phone 716 pounds was very loaded for a room like that

Our children go to St Andrew school which is the next road along and we’ve always gone to The Stirling end of term to have a drink and get the kids food. Always been a great experience. UNTIL THEY CHANGED MANAGEMENT!!! Last day of Christmas term booked a table for 10 people. We bought drinks and food and smarties Which the pub sold! When one of the ladies bought the bowls of chips for the children she aggressively slammed the food on the table and demanded any smarties on the floor should be picked up now…while saying this fell to the floor picking up smarties throwing them on the table! As a parent I chose to not say anything and sort my children placing their chips on the table. I then went to the bar to hear her talking badly about our CHILDREN!! Which I mentioned to another bar woman I had heard. This lady then proceeded to come over and aggressively argue with me in front of the children that the smarties are doing to ruin the floor, never mind the red wine that had been spilt on the table next to us on the floor that was ok. VILE TO CHILDREN!!!! AGGRESSIVE TO CHILDREN AND PAYING RESIDENTS!!! Will never go back

Rooms are entered and exited on an outside ‘fire escape’ stairway at the rear of the property. Door into a very cramped area leading to the rooms. Small room with metal shelved cabinet, so nowhere to hang clothes. Shower room with high window which can’t be opened. We were booked in for two nights, but left after one night. No breakfast available, so too much money for a very inadequate room.

Great little local pub with a fab range of beers and drinks. Let down by sub standard bank holiday food offerings. Bland and sadly lacking in taste and imagination. The kitchen needs direction and identity. Nice service
