Surrounded by a growing, vibrant neighbourhood of stylish homes and well-appointed flats, the pub sits at the heart of an increasingly affluent local community. Its prominent position and strong visual presence allow it to draw not only from the immediate area but also from a broader customer base across the city. With its spacious layout and prime location, The West Hill offers an exciting opportunity to create a welcoming social hub in one of Brighton’s most dynamic districts.
Pub Layout
The pub boasts a characterful, three-zone layout centred around a single, well-positioned bar. On entry, guests are greeted directly by the bar, creating an immediate sense of welcome and familiarity. To the left, a cosy snug offers a more intimate retreat, while the right side opens into a comfortable lounge and the main seating area; ideal for relaxed socialising. The trade kitchen, located just off the bar, currently serves up popular options like pizzas and Sunday roasts, with exciting potential to expand into a more diverse, health-led food offering.
The private accommodation consists of two good sized bedrooms, lounge, kitchen/dining area and bathroom. .
