Half Moon

Our son had his 21st birthday party upstairs in the Henry room.
We had a fantastic night supported by hard working staff who kept us imbibed and well fed. The room had a great ambience and was recently renovated, the outside balcony helped balance out the crowd & the party went off without a hitch. We'd definitely recommend to anyone looking to hold a large function at the Half Moon Brighton.

Had a couple of afternoon drinks with friends. Really nice and relaxed, music and temperature at the right level. The waiter was also great at coming over just at the right time to ask if we needed anything, believe he’s name is Marvin, would come back again

A secret garden place for the community around. They have really giant space for customers and truly delicious food. My favorites are grilled skull prawns and the roast chicken. Sour, spicy, and salty in one plate. Enjoy the place and don’t forget to order one glass of cocktail.

Definitely no over exaggeration here when I say the Caesar Salad is by far the best I’ve ever had.
I had the one with added Chicken and yes I included the anchovies.
Wow if you’re the type who doesn’t include the anchovies try give it a go here, totally different 👌with a modest amount.
Bacon was crunchy to perfection
Lettuce was fresh and crispy
Chicken was tasty and spot on
Yes included a poached egg and cheese flakes and correct amount of dressing 😉
Basically a cold Chicken Caesar done to perfection.
The other two were different without complaints yet totally satisfied and filling, one no chicken and other without anchovies.
Three happy diners 😋😋😋

I held my 50th birthday event at the Central Room on 27/04/24. Overall, the night was extremely successful with all guests having a wonderful time with the food, drinks and entertainment. From the onset, the booking process was so easy and straightforward with Ben. However, the superstar was Sam who made the planning of the event seamless and stress free. Nothing was too much trouble! All details were covered and organised so well. Being a very busy person myself, this instilled a lot of confidence that I was being looked after and avoided a lot of stress for me. The food was plenty, drink choices on offer was impressive and ALL my guests are still commenting how the night felt like it had flown because of how much fun and enjoyment they had. The venue itself is perfect; elegant but not too pretentious. Highly recommend and I would absolutely return for future milestone events!

If you’re looking for a place to host your next event, then look no further. The guys at Half Moon know exactly what’s going on. From beginning to end they were absolutely incredible. We had the central room which was this perfectly sized private room with its own bar and own balcony. They set up the room perfectly, lighting dimmed for mood, music set up can be either phone (but they have their own DJ equipment if you need it!) and ww used their TV for PowerPoint slide show (just an FYI, I did need to hook up my laptop to their tv and Canva didn’t work so I needed to download it and then run it in PowerPoint instead).
The food options were huge. They had so many diff options depending on your budget and no one went home hungry. The night was perfect. Thanks team and thanks to our excellent bar tender 👌🏼🤩

Always great food at Half Moon, unbeatable value for Steak night! Atmosphere was buzzing.

Highly recommend this venue for a private function. We held an 18th Birthday upstairs in the Henry Room. Food was great and service was amazing. Our personal function manager on the night looked after us and ensured everything ran smoothly and we always had a drink in our hand. Room has a great vibe and we would style the room how we wanted.

Hosted a corporate event in The Henry room upstairs.. one word FANTASTIC. Sammi and the team were so great to deal with. Went above and beyond from the very first meeting. Such a brilliant space for an event and no detail was missed. Will be back!

Dropped into this place passing through the area and it's a real treat. Great steak and drinks. Lovely outdoor courtyard area. Clean toilets. Winning in my books! Street parking is available or parking lots on the street behind varying from 1-2 hrs timed. Can order via the QR code for table service. Definitely recommend for a catch up with mates.

We recently had my father’s wake for about 70 people in the Central Room and it really was a celebration of his life. The room opened up to a deck which was a great space for those wanting to go outside for some fresh air. We had our own bar in the room, some high tables with stools and a few chairs along the wall - perfect set up. The food was great especially the sausage rolls (yum). We had use of the television for a photo tribute. Our function started at 2pm and because there was no booking after us, we were allowed to stay as long as we liked. But more importantly Sammi and her team especially Thao and Ciaran, treated us so kindly and respectfully, and were very sensitive to our needs, nothing was too much trouble. This was so greatly appreciated given how emotional the day was. On a side note, we also had my mum’s wake 5 years ago in this same room and it was just as good. Big thank you once again to all those who made what was a difficult day, into a beautiful celebration of our father 🤗

We had our engagement party in the Henry room function space and couldn’t have been happier. The team at Half Moon couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating. Special thanks to Samantha and Kieran for all they did leading up and on the day. We would highly recommend having a function here.

Stunning location and decor. Great service and lovely food. Perfect for a weekend long lunch or after work drink. Great atmosphere and friendly staff we'll definitely be back :)

Yesterday we dined @halfmoonbrighton for the bastille day dinner which was a 5course French menu by the Michelin star executive chef, Peter Reffel. Paired with 7 different wines from various regions on France.

We started our dinner with garlic snails, then with scallop tartare, oyster, caviar and seaweed tuile, moving on to the main course of braised ox tongue and cheek, horseradish celeriac remoulade, then we had the Baked Le rouge Camembert calvados, studded caramel apples, honey soldier, and lastly finishing off with chocolate marquise, orange confit.

Everything tasted simply divine, mouthwatering, a burst of so many different flavours and all the flavours were very refreshing and comforting to have. Truly delicious and mind blowing tbh.

The wines were equally yummy and beautiful. And the friendly and welcoming service from the helpful, lovely team of staff was way above our expectations.

Guys definitely visit @halfmoonbrighton this weekend. You’re bound to have a memorable and delectable gastronomic experience here.

First time for visiting this pub having walked past it many times. Met a friend for a drink and found it very pleasant. Great Happy Hour prices and nice chips. They have some interesting bistro deals which I am tempted to try one night soon.

📍: Church St, Brighton

📝: Half Moon, a much-loved local bar and restaurant located on the busy Church St, Brighton. They’ve got a mix of beautiful indoor and outdoor dining area with a delicious seasonal menu made from quality local produce.

❤: Big shoutout to the 🐟 Barramundi with roasted 🥕 carrot puree, 🎃 pumpkin fondany, and cider beuree blanc. The fish skin was so perfectly crispy and flavorful and the flesh was fresh and tasty 😋. If you love meat, I’d recommend a 🥧 Beef Wellington or a 🥩 fillet of steak from the grill!

We went to the Rose event - canapes and wine tastings on a Sunday and the it was such a nice relaxing afternoon I could not recommend enough. They have the balcony if you want some afternoon sunshine with a view down to Church Street or the chic booths inside. Looked very New york/Modern/chic as I understand its been newly renovated.

Staff were friendly and attentive - great service. The tastings of the wines were amazing and a friend of mine doesn't usually drink Rose but she was impressed and loved it. Especially the extra information from the wine staff with the history of the wines and regions.

The food was the absolute hero of the afternoon - I wasn't expecting much to be honest other than a standard level of food quality (sorry!) but it SHONE!!! Everyone was amazed at the food so much so it outshone everything else - we had ceviche, caesar salad, eggplant, gourmet sausage rolls and a few other items I cant recall but the quality we were all astounded by!

Lovely afternoon to spend with a group of friends unwinding - atmosphere, food and staff were superb!

10/10! Thank you

Also - Sammi who helped me book our group in for the event - was such a delight and a great help. Thank you Sammi!!

First time visiting this nice upscale local pub.
Atmosphere & deco is really simple & nice. Drinks are reasonably priced. Good variety too.

A great pub in the heart of Brighton. An old faithful for many years with consistent service and food. Pub fair and dining room menu should cater for all tastes. It can get busy on Friday nights, as most places do, however it’s a great atmosphere. If you don’t want to drive - the train station is on the door step. The venue also caters for functions upstairs or out the back.

Great atmosphere and a lovely meal. Staff were excellent too
