Field to fork, by the sea.

A butcher's-pedigree gastropub two minutes from Hove seafront. Sussex produce, a Big Green Egg fired hard, famous Sunday roasts, and eleven boutique rooms up the stairs. From Ben and Pamela McKellar's Gingerman Group.

01 / The Ginger Pig

A proper pub, run by people who can genuinely cook, with a butcher's respect for where the meat comes from.

Ben McKellar trained in Michelin kitchens in France and at L’Ortolan before coming home to Brighton. In 1998 he and Pamela opened The Gingerman near the seafront, and The Ginger Pig followed: their take on the gastropub, full flavoured, unfussy, and led by the county’s best growers and farmers.

02 / Provenance

From the county,
to the coals.

Nothing arrives here by accident. We buy whole, break it down ourselves, and cook it over fire the way a butcher would want it treated. This is the short journey from a Sussex field to your plate.

Step 01 / Sourced

Sussex growers & farmers

Menus that change as often as the produce does, built around the county’s best suppliers and whatever is at its peak that week.

Step 02 / Butchered

Whole animal, broken down

A butcher’s heritage runs through the kitchen. We use the whole cut, nose to tail, with nothing good going to waste.

Step 03 / Fired

Over the Big Green Egg

Slow smoke and fierce char. The BBQ does the heavy lifting, coaxing flavour out of aged Sussex beef, lamb and birds.

Step 04 / Plated

Full flavoured, unfussy

Traditional cooking, plated with care and no pretension. Ask the team about today’s specials and the wine to go alongside.

03 / The food

Sussex on the plate,
cooked with the seasons.

Full flavoured, traditional cooking from the county’s best suppliers. Long Sunday roasts, a proper breakfast from eight, fresh oysters and cocktails at the bar, and dishes worth crossing town for.

The roast that
runs till eight.

A proper Sunday, unhurried. Aged Sussex beef, greens with real bite, roast potatoes that earn their place, and gravy worth staying for. Served from half twelve, right through to eight, so there is no rush to give up the table.
