Within sight of Brighton's busy Seven Dials, the Good Companions is a haven of fine food and great beer. Refurbished in the autumn of 2010, this imposing pub has been brought right up to modern standards, inside and out. Locally-sourced food is prepared by a chef with a background in Michelin-starred restaurants – at reasonable pub prices – and complemented by Sussex ales and world beers. Upstairs and restaurant and function room make the pub a proper part of the local scene.
