Back in the day, it didn't need to be a special occasion to enjoy a plate of oysters with a pint of stout by the sea. We're keeping the dockyard spirit alive by serving you simple, fresh shellfish, craft beer and wine in a relaxed environment.
In 2016, we became a freehouse. So now we can offer you an even wider range of beers both on tap and in bottles. And in 2018, we installed a little brewery in our basement so we have our own brews (Larrikin) on tap as standard.
We love beer. Nick loves it so much he started brewing his own. In August 2018 we installed a micro-brewery in the basement so now you will always find our own beer (Larrikin) on tap.
Just like our food menus we have beers that are on regularly, and a wide range of continually updating craft beers. Last time we looked there were just over 120 to choose from.

All the seafood here are excellent. Strongly recommend the sweet and spicy king prawns, roasted scallop and crispy soft shell crab.
Delicious home brewed beer, heaps of wine by the glass, some really interesting stuff too 🍷 and amazing food. We had oysters followed by a couple of things off the special board. The Thai yellow mussels were sublime as were the corn riblets (specials board). Service was very good, staff were knowledgeable about their products. Loved our lunch and we will defo be back next time we’re in Hove
You've got to get yourself down to the urchin! Micro brewery, fresh seafood and beautiful garden. The beers are on point and good value, the seafood is up there with the best in and around Brighton and Hove and everyone working there are so helpful. Couldn't recommend more.
What a gem of a place!! 🤩 I came here with my partner who LOVES seafood…I don’t eat any seafood whatsoever and the menu is almost exclusively fish, crustaceans or shellfish, so it was a little daunting…that being said, I had nothing to worry about - the vegetarian option was absolutely sensational and even the small bits of seafood I tried were really tasty!! The sauce served with the crispy squid was phenomenal. The pub has a fantastic garden and indoor bar area, both of which are inviting and dog-friendly, and a smart, secluded restaurant area. We sat in the bar. The service is exceptional - we were served quickly, the staff are knowledgable about the menu, and really personable. As someone who generally detests seafood, I can’t believe I’m saying this - but I can’t wait to come back! I could not rate this pub any higher ✨
Absolutely beat any expectations! Great relaxed atmosphere, tasteful themed decor and fabulous staff - attentive and relaxed. The food - Absolutely next level! Great portion sizes, divine catches and even the sides of fries and spring greens were incredible quality. Real taste. Scallops in Seaweed butter were heavenly and everything about the main dishes were perfect! We had Malaysian King Prawns and a special of mussels with coconut and ginger. The wine menu was also impressive - perfect pairings with the seafood on offer. I literally cant wait to visit again and have already recommended it to family and friends. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Welcome friends and strangers, noblemen, ladies and freaks. Old Albion is bringing the gin palace back to Hove. The glamour may be faded, but there’s beauty and life and art in every grain.
