Market Inn

This is a nice enough pub, but I was somewhat disappointed to find that they make a surcharge if you pay by credit or debit card — no matter how much you spend! I appreciate that banks charge the retailer a small amount per transaction, and would have felt better disposed if the charge was only on small amounts, eg below £10. However the extra is more than the pub will be charged by the bank: bearing in mind the high price of drinks, and that the acceptance of cards will attract and increase custom, I think the ‘cross the board’ surcharge is a liberty. I feel that at the very least this surcharge should be clearly advertised, so the customer is aware before ordering.
There are many other pubs and retailers in the area who accept cards but do not make any sort of surcharge. This is an unnecessary piece of profiteering!

This pub is quite traditional and I like it a lot. I was surprised they had Metallica playing so I stayed indoors for a bit to enjoy it with my pint spritzer (we had a laugh about that!) shandy, rather! I caught a quiet time and I’m happy to sit there and open my diary digressing my to do list. Their toilets are clean too, no smells.
So I did like the off-​peak atmosphere and also went outside for a breath of fresh air with my pint. There is an outdoor area where you can watch the world go by. And to my advantage, a taxi rank not far from it. A nice experience throughout.

This old-​fashioned ale-​house is pulling out the stops for the Wold Cup. It’s festooned with England flags and will be showing all the matches while serving ‘international’ burger and chips.
The fixtures and fittings date from an era when the beautiful game wasn’t always attractive as do most of the regulars, it must be said. The Harvey’s is as reliable and unpretentious as the service. Tucked down Market Street (natch), opposite Donatello’s, it does seem to be bang on the stag-​and-​hen night beat, so there’s always the risk of having to negotiate your way past a throng (or should that be thong?) of drunk people wearing pink cowboy hats as you make your way to the bar.
If you want to discover what the1980s were really like as opposed to the glitzed up TV portrayals a visit to this pub will take you there.

The Market Inn is a pretty traditional boozer situated in the heart of the South Lanes. It’s not in such a obvious location as other pub in the area, so doesn’t tend to get horrendously rammed with tourists in the summer. They have a fab pub grub menu and offer a selection of real ales. They are kid friendly and allow dogs, they also offer a cheap as chips B&B for as little as £50pppn.

Great little institution of a pub this that is great in the summer when you can sit outside and watch the world pass by. Its a bit of an old pub so retains all of its character in bundles and keeps all the yuppies away too!
Its a great place to head to as its never usually over crowded so if you fancy somewhere to sit with your pint and a couple of friends for a good natter then its perfect.

The Market Inn, one of many pubs in the southern Lanes area, is a true hidden gem. As someone who lives in the area, I have managed to nonetheless miss it for the better part of a year, and when I finally did go, I couldn’t have been more impressed. The selection is excellent, the atmosphere delightful, and apparently one can also stay the night… an excellent addition to the area’s pub scene.
Tucked away at the upper end of Market Street, The Market Inn is a quaint little pub, with much of the antique arrangement it seems to have had for the past couple hundred years. The atmosphere is delightful, especially coupled with the thin lanes of the area: it does feel a little like going back in time.
The ale and beer selection is excellent: as an ale drinker, I was very pleased with the available choice. I didn’t see much in the way of wine and spirits, but wasn’t looking very hard: I’m sure it’s equal to what’s available in the area. Beyond that, the food menu is great, a nice mixture of old classics that won’t leave anyone wanting.
What makes the Market Inn stand out, however, is its relative quietness. It is never too busy: always bustling but never too full for a seat, which is a real boon in this part of town. Where other pubs seem like they are trying a little hard to keep the punters in this area, the Market Inn seems very happy with its lot, and their quiet superiority is an excellent alternative to the louder places nearby, such as the Pump House or the Druid’s Head.
I strongly recommend giving the Market Inn a try: it is quiet, pleasantly old-​school, and serves as well if not better than the other pubs in the area. I’d go again just for the ambiance: the quiet feel to the place is a truly calming addition to the otherwise very loud middle of town. Well worth a try!

This is a friendly pub full to the brim at the weekend with Brighton regulars. Family have stayed here when visiting and we found it was one of the best value places in town, its also not all that well publicised so a real gem for last minute panics. The service was great with breakfast served in their rooms (if preferred) and although its smack in the centre of town and above a busy pub all had a perfectly good nights sleep. Friendly, not at all fussy and good value to boot — they do a Friday and Saturday night deal for £130 for two people including a full English breakfast.

The Market Inn is a traditional Brit pub found in Brighton’s Lanes. Its been a boozer for nearly 200 year so its oozing with character and atmosphere. They have on street tables which are great for people watching in the summer months. The bar is really quaint and old school with lots of wood panelling
If you’re a real ale drinker then you’ll be more than satisfied with their selection and they have a great pub grub menu. They are dog and children friendly so its great stop off for families. They also offer B&B for 50 quid pp.
