Local boozer that does very good food. Sunday roasts a speciality. Pretty relaxed and nice eclectic crowd.
Downside - beers aren't cheap and it is a real footie pub, so if you're not into footie, avoid it on a Sat afternoon etc as it gets rammed (and you can forget about getting quick service!).

This is my local pub and I think I've done pretty well on that front! The staff are friendly and the decor is nice with outside seating too. There's always good local ale on tap and usually one on special offer at �2.75 which is always a bonus....
The food is very good and reasonably priced - I don't eat meat and I'm pleased to say there is always an interesting sounding veggie special on the menu.
Pub quiz is good too. The only downside is that it gets rammed when there's a match on so I tend to avoid it then. Still in Brighton you're never more than a tipsy stumble away from another pub....

Just started 3rd year at uni at Brighton and moved to Queens Park area - the staff at the Georges are lovely. They are really friendly and made me feel very welcome. Their sunday roasts are really tasty and easily the best in Brighton from my experience and I like a Sunday Roast! They play a good range of music from folkie indie to funka and soul and the atmosphere is always really calm and friendly. Well done guys, it is rare to find such a nice pub still exists!

Great unknown Brighton pub, really changed in the last year. The food is always amazing, best roasts in town and always interesting local food during the week. Really freindly and helpful staff and a good atmosphere! Family friendly which is great for me and can watch the game with the kids. Good local ale and beers, and away from the hubbub of the town centre, a must, 5 stars!

Popped in last sunday after a friend recommended it to us. One of the best roasts we've had in a long time, they even made the mint sauce. Nice pint of harveys to wash it all down as well.
Defintely recommended.

Busy pub with live music (I went in on a Thurs night)and a dazzling display of chrome beer dispensers on the bar. Only one 'real' beer though - London Pride, and that not at its best.

Has gone through another change of management recently and is probably the best of the three administrations I've known run the place as "The Round Georges" (this site really needs to update itself as it's not been the Sutherland fr several years now.
A new menu with decent traditional pub grub at fair prices. Certainly a cut above your average burger and chips you might find at a Greene King, although not quite The Greys yet!
I think over time they have veered away from the reputation the pubs previous incarnation had developed and it is generally a mixed crowd of friendly locals to be found there in the evenings. Whilst in the day time it is very quiet (although they only open from half 3 in the week).
Sky sports showing all the major action, and you can also hire the downstairs bar sometimes for big games, or just for functions if you so desire.
Has recently undergone yet ANOTHER refurbishment and now has a bit more character than all the bright colours and leather stools of before.
Sadly brewery rules dictate no Harveys (however they do use it in their steak and ale pie - yummy!) and although there are two hand pumps, they are rarely both working. Good selection of lager on tap though, with Red Stripe, Staropramen, Carling and Becks. Also Stowford Press Cider and their Guinness is of the chilled variety.
Few pub games behind the bar like backgammon and dominoes and they've gotten rid of the fruit machine also. The pool table is downstairs, where you can feel a little isolated, but at least there's nobody to laugh at you when you miss a shot!
All in all a decent local boozer that offers nice food and a relaxed attitude.
**UPDATE** The Round Georges have just taken over Brighton's longest running folk night after a fall out with the previous venue. Good luck to them!

found the thai menu a little overwhelming. the classical music was not to my taste.
fantastic range of normandy perries though.

nice pub, good fruitie.

A cahnge in ownership hasn't changes the pub one bit. It still attracts the same rough people, is really smokey and isn't somewhere women would want to go alone. Pity because it could be a really nice pub with some good ventilation and a better customer base.

New name- Two Round Georges? Looks very spiffy, wifi et al. Lot to live down though; as the Sutherland it was a wee bit dicey apparently.
|
will be looking foreward to frequenting this pub, as I have heard a change of ownership will make a real difference.
