The Wellington — Pub in Brighton And Hove

You can find The Wellington on Elm Grove in Hove, just outside the city. It’s a long-standing pub with a historic feel and daily drink deals that attract locals and visitors alike. Pints of beer are a staple here, especially from early evening onwards when people gather for sports screenings or relaxed evenings. A short drive away from Brighton's core, it serves as a steady social spot throughout the week.

The Wellington opened in 1806 as a coaching inn and became a public house later that century. Its Georgian architecture includes original timber framing and masonry details consistent with early 19th-century design. Inside, wood paneling and warm lighting preserve its traditional pub character. The building is Grade II listed, reflecting its enduring civic presence in Hove even as it remains a hub for everyday gatherings.

The Wellington draws people looking for no-frills pub life with a side of history. It’s active during events like live sports broadcasts or themed nights when Sky TV and TNT Sports play across screens in the main bar area. Pints of beer are the top choice, especially with daily drink deals kicking in at nightfall. One standout feature is the heated garden snug, ideal for staying outside through colder months without discomfort.
