    This place is amazing, and it is so refreshing to see such a great menu! The pub itself is gorgeous, too. I have tried their Smash burgers (the BEST I have ever, ever had – honestly, so good). Their roast is one of the best I have ever had, too. I would definitely recommend it, and I cannot wait to return! Their GF options are great, too, as my friend is GF, and she said the options are so tasty. I cannot recommend it enough!

  2. Lily Wood

    We came to Fountain Head pub to try this new place out and wow, it does not disappoint! Hands down the best burger I have ever had, the prawn marry me dirty fries are delicious and unique to them – I’ve never seen it anywhere else. Their lunch time deal for a double burger and chips for £10 is great too! Their desserts are also amazing. Genuinely the nicest meal I’ve had in Brighton yet! Can’t wait to go back.
