Review of Caxton Arms
16 Apr 08, 18:14
A nice cosy pub 
A nice cosy pub, located close to Brighton Station, but well hidden from passing trade. Always busy (the bar's pretty small), but there's a sunken garden out the back which accomodates the Friday night surge of drinkers.

Review of Paperchase

Who could not love Paperchase? 
Who could not love Paperchase? Pens, paper, stickers, gorgeously illustrated stationary, cards, gifts, lots of things you never knew you needed but just can't bare to leave the shop without....that's paperchase. The stationary addict's ultimate fix. In my day we had to make do with a bic pen and be happy with it.

Review of British Bookshop & Sussex Stationers

A stationary addict's fix on a Sunday
If you're a stationary addict and live in Hove, then this is your fix on a Sunday when you can't be bothered to schlep into town to Paperchase. It's one of those Sussex Insitutions to me and reminds me of buying my stationary for school when I lived in Eastbourne. A guilty pleasure.

Review of Park View

Park side pints - what more could you want?
Park side pints - what more could you want? This pub was the venue for my pub quiz/rounders birthday party last week. It was a Saturday day time and the venue gave me the entire ground floor to take over and run a brilliant pub quiz (run by Brighton's Pub Quizmeister Frank Ramsey). The food's great, they do absolutely delish roasts and in the summer the bbq's on fire and the atmosphere's completely chilled. My only complaint is that it's not closer to my house..do you think they'd do anything about that?

Review of Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club
16 Apr 08, 18:02
Nearly a wag
Well, seeing as I was nearly a wag (but that's another story) I've got to rate this brilliant football club. They do some great community initiatives and I can't wait for their new stadium to open in 2010. Go on the Seagulls!

Review of Hotel Du Vin & Bistro
16 Apr 08, 18:00
Lovely for meeting clients or friends
This is such a fantastically adaptable venue - it's really lovely for meeting clients or friends. Right in the middle of the lanes, hidden in Ship Street, you walk into a fantastic bar which enjoys a mezzanine view with sofas. The service is impeccable, the drinks superb, but like with any establishment like this you pay for it. But it's worth every penny.

Review of Woodies Longboard Diner
16 Apr 08, 17:57
Great before midday 
Breakfasts are the way forward at Woodies. I have fond memories of a first date over breakfast here (I'm glad to say with my current boyfriend - now fiance!), so that may have influenced how good the food tasted at the time. I have been back on several occasions and tried to enjoy the lunch menu, but I would recommend just sticking to it before midday and you won't go wrong. Fantastic kitsch waitresses and decor, v. 50's.

Review of Velvet
16 Apr 08, 17:45
An absolute must for shabby chic
Velvet (both in Hove and Brighton) is an absolute must for shabby chic gifts and accessories. Great for girly gifts, cards and even clothes - so you often end up buying not just your friend a pressie, but one for you too!

Review of Sussex Cricketer
16 Apr 08, 17:29
Perfect for a pint at the fireworks
I wouldn't ordinarily go here, but after a lovely evening at the Sussex Cricket Club fireworks event I snuck in for a cheeky pint of cider. It was a wintery November evening, the fire was roaring, and the bar was busy, but the atmosphere was great and I imagine they trade fantastically well.

Review of Java Cafe
16 Apr 08, 17:25
Absolutely amazing 
Lovely people run and work in this cafe - it's a great place for the community to gather and enjoy the facilities of this unique internet cafe. Owned by the community association and driven by Dee Simpson (a woman with such energy and passion) it's no wonder this is a thriving and enjoyable place to be.
