Really lovely place, food and the service was amazing. Super friendly staff who go above and beyond for you. We were really happy with how we were treated, we were rushed at all and the food was out of this world. Would highly recommend to anyone regardless of whether you are plant based or not. Definitely coming back :)

The roast seitan beef was lovely. Unfortunately the potatoes were dreadful but they were replaced when this was raised. The replacements were lovely. The portion was small, one slice of carrot and one slice of parsnip. Over 15 pounds for a very small roast dinner. Yorkie was very greasy and I found the meal disappointing for the price. More veg was needed and a better standard of cooking. Service was good, no complaints about the lovely staff.

All of the roast was delish ! The Yorkshire pud and the potatoes were super crispy. Seitan was tasty. The best gravy and plenty of it. Very happy tummies ♥️ think I would have liked a bit more green on my plate but that’s just me. We loved it.

Great food, warm and friendly team, never disappoints. Went to each one of their world food menu nights, the Japanese one was sensational. A great place to go for vegans. Their Sunday Roast is unmissable, though you need to book as it’s really popular.

The best vegan roast I've had - easily. The seitan beef brisket was absolutely delicious and the perfect texture. It was so nice to have options other than "nut roast" and to have all the traditional components made vegan, including cauliflower cheese and Yorkshire puddings. The pub itself is also a beautiful building, giving that proper pub atmosphere whilst still having really pretty interior touches. If I lived in Brighton I'd be here every Sunday!

The food here is delicious. Amazing flavours. I shared the padron peppers and sourdough with garlic butter to start, then aubergine Katsu curry and sticky toffee pudding for dessert. The mocktails are also really good! The atmosphere is warm and relaxed. I will definitely go back and eat here. Loved it.

We thoroughly enjoyed Sunday lunch at the roundhill. We cycled over from hellingly and loved the pub and ambience. The food was great and we both loved it. If I was to quibble at all; it could have been hotter! But that didn't impact our experience. The margarita was one of the best I've ever had! We will definitely be back; hopefully for the steak night! We are both vegan and love support vegan businesses!

Disappointing how downhill the pub has gone over the last 6 months. I've been raving about it to people since we went in February as the food and service was amazing, today the complete opposite. Booked in advance and arrived early, when arriving we were told our table wasn't ready, no problem as we were early anyway and could just have a drink. Despite arriving early we weren't given a table at all and had to sit at the window despite there being plenty of tables free. Our food was brought to the window stalls and was lukewarm at best when we got it, the cauliflower cheese was stone cold. After asking three times if our table was ready yet, we finally were allowed to move to one of the 6 free tables that had been free the whole time, only 30 minutes after our original booking time, better late then never right? The food itself was dreadful. The gravy was horrible, the vegis undercooked, seitan was thick and not nice and the Yorkshire pudding was undercooked and stodgy. Somehow the side of cauliflower cheese was worse; stone cold and with an odd taste we barely touched it. I would have brought any of these points up to the staff at the time, if any of them had provided any service. Instead we were left alone for nearly an hour with them not so much as asking if our food was okay. We finished and waited 20 minutes before realising nobody was going to ask if we were finished, how our food was or if we wanted dessert. In the end we were so fed up we just paid and left. In the span of two hours I've gone from raving about The Roundhill to recommending people avoid it.

Panko Cauliflower wings with buffalo sauce was lovely and so were the loaded fries. Buddha bowl was extremely disappointing given price. Tiny amounts, nothing stood out and slaw was just one vegetable in sauce/vegan mayo
The Roundhill PubResponded on 7 August 2023
Hi Danny - Very sorry the buddha bowl wasn't up to scratch. Feels harsh getting 2 stars when 2/3 of your items were lovely however. Please do come back and give us another try x

I was a big Roundhill fan, but since changing hands it is really disappointing. The food is just poor. We had two really bland stodgy pasta dishes. Staff were cheery but it’s just not what it used to be. Slow service and mixed up orders.

I used to love the roundhill but since it's been up for sale it's really gone downhill. The food is poor and overpriced, which it never was before as the quality was so good previously. The service was fine but wasn't hospitable. Our food took ages to come out and the pub wasn't even busy. We had to ask for more cutlery, napkins and the bill several times. Sadly won't be going back. Its such a shame because we used to visit a lot and was my favourite vegan pub in Brighton but the last two visits haven't been good.

I have always given Roundhill four stars. However we didn't have the best experience on our visit. We were given the wrong meal and were left with no cutlery. One dish was surprisingly bland (which is unheard-of at this restraunt). The people were lovely but maybe just under staffed. Would always still come back though as this seems like an anomaly.

The food was fantastic. Brilliantly cooked and original vegan food. Unfortunately this place doesn’t know whether it is a pub or a restaurant. It looks like a pub, and feels like a pub, but you are told it is table service only and you should not approach the bar. Unfortunately you then have to wait ages for a drink. This is seemingly because there is one person making drinks for the entire restaurant/pub. We waited 10 minutes with empty glasses before deciding we would have to ask for a drink - because we weren’t being taken notice of. We then waited a further 10 minutes for the drinks to arrive. So 20 minutes for a drink, in a quiet pub/restaurant. It was very noisy (we were placed on a table next to the kitchen), with music from the kitchen playing loudly. Anyway… the food is great, really very lovely, and the young waiter and more experienced waitress were lovely. It’s just a shame this place doesn’t know what it is. It certainly looks like a pub… it certainly used to be a pub… but it’a not a pub. Sort the staffing levels out so you don’t have to wait ages for a drink, or maybe just let people go to the bar when they want a drink… and stop pretending to be a restaurant! You’re much better as a pub that serves brilliant food.

One of my favorite pubs in the UK! Our vegan roasts were so good. I had the celeriac roll which had a kind of nut-roast mix inside, very tasty, served with delicious gravy and a very good vegan Yorkshire pudding! A must-visit for any vegan who loves a good roast! The staff were all super friendly too.
