Description

Welcome to The Dorset, a proper Brighton pub in the heart of the North Laine, serving good food, great drinks and plenty of reasons to stick around.

Whether you’re dropping in for a pint, meeting friends for lunch, settling in for the big game or making a night of it, The Dorset is the kind of pub that works for pretty much any occasion.

The kitchen serves up pub classics, burgers, small plates and plenty more, with Sunday roasts rounding off the week properly. Behind the bar you’ll find cold pints, wine, spirits and cocktails, including our Happy Days offer with two cocktails for £16.

Sport is a big part of life at The Dorset, with the biggest fixtures shown live across the pub. Grab a table, get the drinks in and settle down for the action.

Planning something a little bigger? We’ve also got a dedicated area available to hire for birthdays, celebrations, work get-togethers and parties, with food and drinks available to arrange in advance.

Right in the middle of one of Brighton’s best neighbourhoods, The Dorset is here for lunches that turn into drinks, quick pints that become a few more, big games, Sunday roasts and everything in between.
