Cracking nut roast tofu pockets - Edit
Lovely friendly staff, massive tasty portions, lots of well cooked veg in a variety of colours, crispy potatoes. Lots of options. Took an omnivore and it opened his mind to vegan eating! YAYYYS. All vegan beers and wine. 15 quid for a cracking roast.
Read moreAlso had a shawarma pitta and asparagus, fava bean, rocket salad with pistachios. Seriously fresh and seasonal.

Veggie dealer - was great but now gone - Edit
Ate here many times over the years; always a good meal. Went today (06 July 2023) and the kitchen has closed. Gone. No more. They said something new is planned for the future….

No vegan lagers or white wine??? - Edit
We have always loved this pub - but weirdly for an all veggie pub on our most recent visit there were no vegan lagers, no Guinness, and no vegan white wines. They are clearly aware of this as they write the vegan options on a blackboard.
Read moreSeems odd that a veggie pub would offer less options for vegans than a regular pub. Hope they have a re-think as we have always visited this place when coming to Brighton.

Great staple in town - Edit
This has had good veggie/ vegan for years and can be counted on to deliver pub food that you don’t have to worry about as they don’t have any meat. Big portions, friendly staff, great Sunday roasts.

Standard pub grub - Edit
Nothing wrong with the food here if you want typical pub food. Doesn’t specialise know any kind of food and if you’re visiting Brighton there are more interesting places with more inventive menus but it’ll soak up the booze if you having a few pints.

Delicious roast - Edit
Really enjoyed our meal here. The roast was very tasty, if a little on the small side. The pub had a cosy atmosphere and served mulled drinks during the festive season.

Big up the bhaji burger! - Edit
Got stuck in Brighton by mistake and needed a vegan hit. Stumbled upon this little gem and wow... what a menu!!
Read moreHighly recommend the aforementioned bhaji burger (its actually vegetarian but what the hell... we're in Brighton baby!)
Couple of pale ales to wash down my dinner coupled with some delicious motown classics made this a 5 star evening.
Big up to the barman with the mask on who made our evening complete.
Will defo come again!!
Pros: Epic vegan pub grub, Sick tunes, Heater in the smoking area

Nice food - Edit
This place had a nice atmosphere, but there were a couple negatives. It was a Sunday so it was a limited menu we decided to get the small bites but they had run out of cauliflower (from lunch) so we were left with the only other 3 vegan options. These were generous in size hummus and falafel, except for the bao buns. The menu clearly states bao buns with avocado and katsu curry sauce we only received one bao and there was no sauce. We had already sent back haloumi chips so didn't want to bother again. It was a nice place and would probably go back again just not on a Sunday.
Read morePros: All vegetarian
Cons: Not what we ordered , Ran out of food , Dissapointing bao

Not bad, not great - Edit
I appreciate that the pub does lots of vegetarian food, but depending when you go, it can be a mixed experience. I’ve had great meals and I’ve also had some shockers. That being said, it’s got a nice atmosphere and the beer is usually good. Worth trying.

We liked it a lot (only downer was the burrito was only luke warm).

Who knew prince george loved veggie food! - Edit
Very impressive pub grub food, easy to make all vegan with many options.
Read moreThe large nachos is a great snack to split between two and the cheese was perfectly melted. Quick as well!
Clean pub which is well looked after. Wonderful atmosphere while not being too boisterous. Staff are wonderful and accommodating.
Very expensive for food especially considering the prices of other vegan places in Brighton. Even though the food quality was amazing it would have been nice to have them cheaper and buy more meals
Pros: Clean, Quick, Realistic
Cons: Expensive, Not everything can be made vegan

Nice pub food - Edit
We came in at about 5.30pm and there was a lot of people at the bar, which made it take a while for us to order. The food was great though, and everyone seemed to think so.

Really enjoyed, would definitely like to visit again - Edit
I visited this place for the first time and having just read some of the reviews, all I can say is I'm a little confused - and glad I didn't look the Prince George up before visiting!
Read moreThe pub itself is cosy and very busy when I visited. Despite this, service at the bar and of the food was very quick. There are a range of vegan options - I chose the vegan chilli dog. On ordering, I was surprised that the waitress offered it with vegan cheese which was nice as normally the vegan option is just the same meal but without the dairy products. I was also really happy that vegan and vegetarian wines were labelled on the menu (a little sad that not all the wines were vegetarian though in an order otherwise vegetarian pub...).
The food when it came was a huge portion - one main course is definitely enough, I can't imagine many customers make it to desert in the Prince George... it wasn't quite what I was expecting from a 'chilli dog' but it was tasty and extremely filling.
The only negative I really think of is that the music was blaringly loud and I really struggled to hear what my friend - who was sat a foot away from me - was saying.
Overall though I really enjoyed my visit and would definitely consider visiting again when I'm next in Brighton.
Pros: Tasty food, Clearly labelled vegan wines , They had Astonish handwash in the bathroom!
Cons: Music very loud, Not all wines are vegetarian which is a big shame

Great food! Great Value! - Edit
My partner and I went to The Prince George for Valentines day and we were both very impressed by the food. There was a set menu with the option of 2 or 3 courses. We had a Tofu 'prawn' cocktail for starter, Ginger beer battered halloumi with chips for main course and a chocolate tarte for desert. All for approximately only 20 pounds! The atmosphere was great and the staff despite being busy were very smiley and helpful. The food took a while to arrive however overall we had a great evening at The Prince George.

Pros: Big portions, Good value, Friendly Staff
Cons: Slightly slow service, Cramped seating

Ok but a bit pricey - Edit
I went to The George recently for a meal and was a bit underwhelmed. The menu looked really tasty, it was reasonably expensive but I thought it would be worth it. It wasn't really. Food was very average. Not really what you expect when you are paying a reasonable amount of money.

terrible place - Edit
I have given this place second and third chances to improve over the ten or so years I have been here but after visiting a couple of weeks ago that will be the last. Nut roasts covered in melted cheese, why? When there are so many decent places to eat in Brighton that do excellent sunday roasts (The Sussex Yeoman for example) why would you bother with this place? I am veggie but try to limit the amount of dairy I eat, It seems crazy in 2014 that this pub has not got their head around a menu that is not so based around dairy products. Other Sunday options where an unimaginative falafel burger and an omelette! Never again.
Read morePros: friendly staff, nice pub
Cons: unimaginative menu, too much dairy

Best Veggie Sunday Roast, but very slow service! - Edit
I had been to the the Prince George once before, for dinner, but for a long time had wanted to try the vegan Sunday lunch, particularly as not many vegan restaurants offer one.
Read moreWhen we arrived, they explained they were busy, and there would be a 40 minute wait, which we accepted. However, we waited an hour and a half! For the last 30 minutes we waited, no one else was eating and the pub had really emptied out. When one of the kitchen staff finally served us, habitually, I doubled checked, ' is this the vegan Sunday lunch?' He said, 'Yes, apart from the Yorkshire pudding, sorry I wasn't told'. He then promptly removed the Yorkshire pudding. I suggested, it might be nice to offer extra veg, in place of the Yorkshire pudding and I was brought 3 potatoes.
I think there needs to be better communication between the bar staff taking orders and the kitchen staff. It would help for a much smoother running of the pub. Maybe I caught this place on a bad day, as reading other reviews people seem to generally say good service.
Sorry if some of my points seem negative but I'm a stickler for good customer service! However the positive was that when lunch finally came it was delicious! A nut roast with potatoes, steamed broccoli mash, carrots and squash, topped with a really nice gravy. To be honest though, the time it took for lunch to come would make me think twice about coming again.

Pros: Vegan Sunday Roast, Good choice of beers & wine, Nice atmosphere

Very nice vegan pub food - Edit
After reading previous reviews of this place, I didn't have very high expectations of their vegan options, but I wanted to give it a try anyway. I was very pleasantly surprised to find a wide range of vegan pub grub on the menu, and when I ordered the vegan nachos was asked if I would like vegan cheese on it, which I hadn't expected. The food itself was delicious and a large portion with very tasty salsa, vegan chilli and guacamole. It's not haute cuisine, but it's excellent vegan pub food!

Popular - and rightly so. - Edit
I visited on Sunday the 15th September. Got there about 8pm.
Read moreI was a pub quiz evening so was packed out, which was good to see.
Unfortunately all of the Sunday roasts had run out, but I had a great smoked tofu and peanut Asian noodle salad.
The person behind the bar wasn't sure if any of the real ales were vegan, which was a shame, so I ended up with a bottled cider instead.
There was soya milk for my tea :)
I really liked this pub and I am deeply jealous of everyone who lives in or near Brighton - up here in the Midlands we don't have anything like the range of choice or quality offered in Brighton, and we have to travel to get it.
Pros: Lots of vegan options on menu, Soya milk for tea/coffee, Busy and buzzing atmosphere
Cons: Lots of vegan options sold out, Bar staff not informed about beers on sa, Hard to find somewhere to sit and eat.
