Happy Birthday To The Independent Brighton



The Independent

Today I would like to wish my good friends (front and back of house) and neighbours at The Independent a very happy third birthday.

The Independent (founded in 2015) is a true freehouse gastropub in the Hanover/Queens Park area of Brighton, free of any brewery, pub chain or tie. Currently they have four real ales alongside 12 keg beers, which change weekly.

The Independent is the only pub owned by Brighton residents James and Matt, who are passionate about creating the kind of pub they would be pleased to have as their own local.

Managed under the gimlet eye of Jen; drinkers, diners, locals and out of towners can be assured of a warm welcome from her and her experienced, professional, long serving and cheerful colleagues (Brice, Hugh, Natalia, Ruby et al) who have grown used to my "eccentricities".

The ever changing menu, prepared by Chef Sam and his team, mixes traditional British dishes with Mediterranean and other European flavours, including vegetarian options.

By the way, currently both the gigot of lamb and chicken breast dishes are my top tips!

On Sundays they do a full range of roasts, which are excellent.

So a very Happy Birthday to you all, I was there on your opening night and look forward to many more years frequenting your fine establishment.

Every success for the future!
