The Crazy Goose

The Crazy Goose Brighton – Public House & Dining Room

The Black Rock Restaurant Group is set to breathe new life into the historic Boyce Street site this February with The Crazy Goose — a confident, food-led pub and dining room that balances elevated British comfort with the warmth of a local favourite.

Located in the original home of The Coal Shed, The Crazy Goose represents a thoughtful evolution for the Black Rock team. Known for their ingredient-focused success across the city, this latest venture leans into the pub format, offering a space that works just as well for a quick afternoon pint as it does for a celebratory three-course dinner. Named in honour of founder Raz Helalat’s father-in-law, Don Camilleri, the venue is built on foundations of consistency, relevance, and genuine hospitality.

Elevated Comfort and Seasonal Creativity

The kitchen at The Crazy Goose takes a focused approach to classic British and European cooking. You can expect a menu that shifts with the Sussex seasons—hearty and soul-warming in the winter, and lighter as the coastal sun emerges. From “honkingly good” pies and heritage plates to expertly sourced butchers’ cuts and fresh seafood, the dishes are familiar but delivered with a contemporary, creative twist.

The Signature Sunday Roast at The Crazy Goose

Sundays are a serious affair here. Designed with families and large groups in mind, the Crazy Goose Brighton Sunday roast centres around sharing options and an immaculate attention to detail. It’s a destination roast for the city, intended to become a staple for locals and visitors alike who seek quality without the formality.

The Blue Room and Lived-in Luxury

Set across two distinct spaces, The Crazy Goose offers a ground-floor pub for easy, high-energy drinking and a first-floor dining room known as ‘The Blue Room’. The design is intentional: warm, confident, and “lived-in,” aiming to feel like a home away from home from the very first visit. There are no gimmicks or forced nostalgia here—just a well-run establishment with a clear point of view and a strong neighbourhood pull.

Serious Drinks for Every Occasion

The bar is treated with the same intent as the kitchen. Whether you’re looking for a curated craft beer, a hand-picked wine, or an impressive cocktail, the selection is built to flex across the week. With a quality low and no-alcohol range alongside late-night service options, it’s a dependable meeting place perfectly positioned between the station, Brighton’s historic Lanes, and the seafront.
