Preston Park Tavern, Havelock Road, Brighton

This was visited in October 2009 without the 2 other GOGs, but with my good lady wife, 3 year old daughter and 2 friends who enjoy eating at Michelin starred restaurants. The PPT (aka The Ladypub) was done up a couple of years ago and is now no longer the hount of hairy arsed builders but is a light, airy, neighborhood 'gastropub' populated by women in Boden. It is in fact hardly a pub - there's about a fifth of its seating area for drinkers, the rest either formally or informally acting as a restaurant. The Harveys is excellent, though.
We've had a few meals there ranging from good to mediocre. This one was a bit better than mediocre. We had a variety of starters which were well received - I had meditaranean veg. The main courses were underwhelming. My bream (balanced - of course - on top of the potatoes and veg) was good but there was too much butter everywhere else. This was echoed by my companions. They do make an effort to welcome children (a wise business decision in this area) but the childrens menu is unadventurous.
Must try harder.
3/5
