Property details
The West Hill is a striking, corner-plot pub situated just above Brighton Station, placing it within easy walking distance of both the city centre and major transport links. 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.
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, a lounge, a kitchen/dining area and a bathroom.

Live Entertainment
Trading style
This vibrant, wet-led pub is a well-loved social hub, trading daily with a solid range of draught beers, wines, spirits, and soft drinks. While food currently makes up around 10% of the overall trade and is served on selected days, there’s clear scope to expand this offer and create a more balanced, all-day experience. The West Hill has built a strong reputation for its lively events calendar, including popular quizzes, parties, and live music, making it a go-to destination for entertainment and community connection.
The landlords are looking for an enthusiastic and community-minded individual or couple to take on this ideal starter pub. The West Hill offers a great opportunity for someone looking to take their first step into pub management, with plenty of potential to grow the business. A passion for hospitality and a desire to create a welcoming, inclusive space are key. There’s real scope to broaden the offer, introducing morning coffees and pastries for commuters, expanding food service hours, and refreshing the drinks range to attract a wider audience. With the right energy and vision, this vibrant pub could become a thriving hub at the heart of its growing Brighton community.
