we've been coming in here for 3 or 4 years when we visit Brighton. We eaten twice before downstairs and the food has been great. The atmosphere great and the beer fantastic.

This time we booked a table and was sent upstairs to the restaurant. Unfortunately the 2nd floor dining room by the upstairs bar is adjacent to an outdoor terrace where smoking is allowed. This meant that the dining room was filled with choking cigarette smoke - I thought that to allow cigarette smoke to pervade an indoor room was illegal these days.

Anyway it made for a poor experience and appalling atmosphere - we will not visit again, and i encourage diners not to attend until the policy is changed and smoking on the adjacent is banned.

It was so bad out hair and clothes stank of cigarette smoke when we returned to our hotel.
