The Marine Tavern is the latest venue in the village to offer Sunday Lunch.

THE Marine is small but perfectly formed and you can eat at the bar or the tables to the rear where 16 people can be comfortably accommodated.

Bee is the chef in the upstairs kitchen, ably assisted by Joe who cuts a fine image in his chefs whites.

All food is fresh and cooked to order with a choice of lamb, beef and chicken or nut roast for the main course costing just £5.95 or £10 for two people. If you want to have two meats it is £1 per head extra. Amazing value.

I had the thick sliced roast beef, tender and tasty with carrots, broccoli, leeks, mashed potatoes, wonderful crisp roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding. Make sure you try the cheese sauce which is served in a little pot on the side. I thought it was horseradish and did not try it till it was pointed out that it was a cheese sauce. It was lovely and a perfectly complemented the vegetables.

Everything was cooked to perfection, the beef was not overcooked and the vegetables were not too soft, though personally, I do prefer my Yorkshire puddings a little crisper.

From order to serving the main course took just 10 minutes giving me time to try the salmon and haddock fish cakes which were moist and very fishy, just as they should be. All starters were £3.95 and other choices on offer included deep-fried brie and soup.

Deserts priced from £2.95 include: cheesecake, fruit salad, pavlova and ice cream.

The Marine Tavern is at 13 Broad Street, Brighton. Telephone 01273 90 55 78 and Sunday Lunch is served from 12noon-6pm.

 

Need a lorry for a float on the Pride Parade?

To celebrate the new Parade route in 2015, Brighton Pride have teamed up with Brighton Carriers to facilitate flat-bed lorries in various sizes to make it easier for groups to enter the Parade and design an eye-popping float.

Brighton Pride Parade

TO make things simple and straight forward for groups with limited carnival experience, Pride have put together some basic packages that can take the stress out of organising a float.

For a basic fee you will get the lorry, driver (and insurance), scaffolding, banners along the two sides, full height across the back and on the front beneath the windscreen.

Banners can be co-branded with your groups’s identity alongside Pride’s or can carry a supporting message and branding and colouring of your choice, and these banners are yours to keep and re-use.

For an additional fee Pride will decorate your float with 12 large flags, a fringed pelmet, central screen and fabric covered scaffold poles, you just need to then arrange your team in matching t-shirts or costumes to give it that final popping splash of colour.

If you are feeling more adventurous but are not sure how to go about it, Pride can team you up with a designer/artist who will help you turn your vision in to sparkling 3D.

Any organisations, companies or groups wishing to apply for these lorries should email: parade@brighton-pride.org to discuss their requirements, any support they need to produce their entry and of course the costs.
