“A step back in time to the days of Victorian splendour”
The Cricketers Brighton
If you think thick carpets, Victorian detail, pictures on walls and ceilings, a great selection of wines and beers – then you are getting a better idea of what the place has to offer. The Cricketers Brighton also has an internal courtyard great for larger tables with a rustic feel to it.
A Venue Since 1547
There has been a pub on this site since 1547 and the original Landlord, Derrick Carver was burnt as a heretic for his religious beliefs back in the day. It is suggested that one of their most famous, or infamous, guests was Robert Donston Stephenson, a contender for the real identity of Jack the Ripper. In The Greene Room bar, (upstairs), you can spend some time sleuthing through the story of his origins and how he may have planned his murders from the very same spot. The Cricketers Brighton is also the famous pub immortalised by Graham Greene in his classic novel “Brighton Rock“.
Dining at The Cricketers Brighton
The Food at The Cricketers Brighton comes from the genius of Phil Bartley Kitchens. Here you will find an offering of classic pub fare but given a thoroughly modern treatment. Phil’s focus is always on quality ingredients that are as locally sourced as possible and with a focus on high-welfare meats. Forget dubious sausage rolls made with grey meat, here your bar snacks will be more likely to feature pulled pork and Sussex apples.
Perfect spot for a pub lunch
For classic Brighton lunchtime pub food, you can’t go wrong with The Cricketers Brighton. Descent proportioned sandwiches in crusty ciabattas are stuffed with great quality, freshly prepared fillings. There’s a good selection of Brighton burgers covering chicken, beef, and vegan burgers. The burgers come with chunky chips, or you could order a side of sweet potato fries instead.
Classic pub food reinvented
A classic pub menu wouldn’t be worth its salt if it didn’t do pie. At The Cricketers Brighton there is always a pie of the day selection, including something for vegans, served as it should be with heaps of mash and lashings of gravy as well as classics such as fish and chips or sausage and mash. There are good options for vegans and vegetarians throughout the menu.

Getting There
INFO
What a pub! Full of locals, tourists, a few families and it was full to the brim in possibly Brighton’s most nostalgic and busy pub. Loved the red velvet seating in contrast to the dimmed lighting and black walls. Great pub food from a team that enjoy their work.
