The Mash Tun, Brighton

Was there last night, great pub, great staff, rough round the edges but good banter and we loved it!

The Mashtun is a small U shaped sweat box of a pub that was busy with student aged people on Tuesday evening last week. Hepworth’s Prospect and Brighton Best were both available from the two hand pumps and there is a standard selection of draught. Although busy I was served quickly, but I wasn’t very impressed in receiving my Guinness in a flimsy plastic cup. It wasn’t busy enough to warrant dipping into the reserve cups so maybe this place gets a bit rowdy in the evenings. There was some loud music being blasted out of the speakers and I didn’t spot any TVs or advertisements for Sky Sports. Food is available and the dearest meal I saw was the Mashtun Mezze for £8. There is some outside seating that is covered by a couple of jumbrellas. I found it very difficult to get comfortable in here and the locals were not the friendliest of people. I my opinion there are far better options in the area.
