Just across from The Battle Of Trafalgar The Sussex Yeoman is no longer a Greene King pub nor a gastro-pub, loosely termed a sports pub on the Camra website, it has a couple of tv screens for sport, it is very much a trad backstreet wet led pub. Despite three handpumps there was just one in use on my visit, Long Man Best Bitter which I found to be well kept. A nice enough pub but it wouldn't be first on the list.

A bit more Bistro than pub but not a bad place. We had a quick drink of Hardy & Hanson's before moving on.

A Greene King pub, but aside from the signage, you'd not guess it as such as there's no GK beer. Thankfully.
Situated in an attractive and somewhat precipitous street, made all the harder to master after a day spent researching the city's ostleries.
This is a small food-led pub, patronised by well-off Brighton sophistos - quite a change from most of the other city pubs.
The interior is simple, with an abundance of grey paint above a bare boarded floor, supporting rustic furniture. There was a cheery atmosphere in here with friendly bar staff. However, there was only the one ale: Hardy & Hanson's Kimberley at a pricey £2.20 a half and dull.
This is a decent pub but would be greatly improved with a selection of ales and better ones to boot.
Worth a visit, but I found that The Battle of Trafalgar, directly opposite hits the spot just that bit harder.

The Sussex Yeoman is a Greene King corner back street pub just up the road from Brighton Railway Station. I say pub, but I agree with the previous comment that this pub is more like a small bar/restaurant and over half of the customers in attendance were dining early on Saturday evening. The mains on the menu were knocking around the £10 mark and the pub opens at midday everyday just in time for lunch. There is a very limited selection of draught and one of the hand pumps was unused leaving a lonely offering from Hardy’s and Hansons. There is a coffee machine on the bar that was seeing its fair share of action and Ellesbelles sausages are advertised everywhere available in packs of four so maybe the friendly governor of this bar is an amateur butcher or something. There are no TVs that I could see, but some 80s music was playing in the background.
This place is popular with the late twenties and early thirties crowd, but it didn’t really do it for me.

Proudly advertises cask ales outside but only delivers GK IPA and OSH, the latter of which was off. Was told they were in happy hour with £1 a pint off so my pint of Budvar was only £2.70!! Fosters, Krony, Strongbow, Guinness and Hoegaarden also on offer, plus a myriad of teas and coffees. I wouldn't recommend it and would struggle to call it a pub, more of a bar really

Looks big from the outside, but can get very crowded lunchtimes. Typical Greene King pub, sells its own IPA. The food looks very nice though and they source their food from the local area.
