There’s a warm and relaxed atmosphere in The French Horn Brighton, the bar along the back wall and seating is predominantly small tables and chairs arranged open-plan plus a single comfy sofa.
The space feels primarily set up for small groups and couples and late afternoon/evening a few locals at the bar and some relaxing contemporary background music help give the place some atmosphere.
There’s a tiny little garden out back, and some clever-clogs has installed little fold-away tables on the front facade, which makes a good outside table for two.
The beer options are somewhat limited: mainly lagers, with very few keg options, and a couple of cask pumps hosting some local brewers on our last visit.
Burgers feature prominently on the menu, with some interesting options, but it’s the offer of weekend raclette at The French Horn Brighton that makes this place stand out with a unique culinary quirk.

First time I’ve eaten here, brilliant. Amazing and different burger selection, and they were all absolutely delicious. House red wine fantastic and the staff were all warm, friendly and the place had such a good atmosphere on a chilly evening. Thank you!
Stopped by for a pint on Monday stayed for 2. Briskly busy for a Monday evening. Seems to have a loyal and friendly group of regulars. I think this place is independently owned and I'd rather gives these lovely people my money in the 7 Dials.
Can't believe it took us sooo long to try the food here.... It's sooo good. My husband is a meat eater and I'm a veggie, and we're both equally happy every time. The service is great, and the chef will explain why the extras you want might not quite work, if that's the case.... I love that! Fully recommend any day of the week, and Thursday is a winner with two homemade burgers with skin on fries for £15.... Total!!!
We went to the French Horn yesterday to try out the Raclette, and it was a revelation. We had the vegetarian version and you could just tell that there has been so much thought put into every component. The variety of fresh and crisp veggies, the herbs and the cheeses, oh my lord the cheeses. Paired with a bottle of red wine this was pure perfection. Thank you!
Always happy to come here for drinks. My favourite place to come for a pint and a chat. Always feels very welcoming and relaxed. Crowd is mature (by which I mean middle aged) but hey I fit right it. Food is good. Quite meaty but that’s French stuff for you. You can see from the goats cheese burger that they do do cheese well. Not really the place for vegans though.

The Good Companions is a relatively recent addition to Brightons dynamic Seven Dials area, having been brought up to scratch with an ambitious refurb inside and out. It's rare to find a pub this large with such a cosy, vibrant and chipper atmosphere.
