The Watchmaker'S Arms

Rick brewed an Old Ale yesterday, and instead of throwing away the spent grain we decided to make some dog biscuits for the pub. Muffin approves! Available at the bar from tomorrow while stocks last! (Next batch available after the next brew day!)

Muffin has just paid her first visit to The Foghorn micropub in Boundary Road. She was disappointed there were no dog biscuits - she waited patiently by the bar. We were also disappointed there was no beer! That should be taken care of before they open their doors in November though. If youŌĆÖre excited about their opening then give their Facebook page a like (other social media platforms are available).

After yesterdayŌĆÖs deluge what a lovely change this morning! WeŌĆÖve been out harvesting sloes ready for our Christmas sloe gin. Available in the run up to Christmas for a small charity donation ­¤śŗ

Aw. Separated at birth.

Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof. That is all.

Here's some more info on our Snailspace Run on October 28th. Mark Halls has plotted our route again this year and we've put the route into a Google Map which might prevent you getting lost on the day. We've shared that here so hopefully you can use the link to see the route on your mobile device. We'll be printing and laminating some as well, which will be available at the pub in the days before the run. We'll figure out the timings shortly so that you'll know when and where to join if you're not coming to the start at Stanmer. Trains all look to be working (unless you're coming from London!) so we'll aim to get the 7:47 from Brighton to Falmer and be ready to leave Stanmer at 8:30. https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewerŌ Ć”

Here's gorgeous little Charlie, 3 weeks old, on his first visit. Warmest congrats to lovely Laura and James. ŌØż’ĖÅ­¤ÆÉ

Had a great evening at the new Holler Brewery tap in Brighton last night. TheyŌĆÖve done an amazing job and we now have another great venue on the Brighton & Hove beer scene. Thanks for the invite!

For those of you who have been enjoying Cranked Up and Unsigned this week and have been asking about Brew Studio .... hereŌĆÖs a great article about them from the Worthing Herald! #hove #micropub https://www.worthingherald.co.uk/ŌĆ”/camr a-recognition-for-seŌĆ”

Due to popular demand weŌĆÖre mashing in for a new batch of Secondhand APA this morning. Ready in about 3-4 weeks. #hove #micropub #microbrewpub

Whoop whoop ! Here's our Tommy and Niall (Tim is hiding) in possession of the keys for Hove's next micropub. Opening (soonish). Watch this space ­¤Ź║­¤Ź║­¤Ź║

If you took part in our 2016 Snow Dog run you'll be delighted to hear that we're planning another run for Snailspace Brighton & Hove, raising piles of cash for Martlets Hospice - this time it will be bigger and better! The format will be similar to last time with those of you wanting to enjoy the whole run and bag all 50 snails starting at Stanmer House. The route will then bring us into the north of the City, out to the Marina, then back through the south of the city, onto H...ove Lagoon then back to Hove Park where we'll have a big finishing photo and head down to the Watchmaker's for beer and sandwiches. We're planning the route now and when that's done you'll be able to figure our when and where to join us if you want to do just part of the route. More info to follow but save the date... Sunday 28th October - which is the same day as the clocks go back so you'll get an extra hour in bed! More details about Snailspace can be found here... https://www.snailspacebrighton.co.uk/ #hove #micropub #bemoresnail

Very happy to report that weŌĆÖre in again! Received the news last night and feeling chuffed. ­¤śĆ­¤śĆ­¤śĆ­¤Ź║­¤Ź║­¤Ź║ @CAMRA_OFFICIAL #Hove

Some of you may have seen this post from the Brunswick about Ed. Our good friends at Downlands Brewery have brewed a delicious Pale in his honour and we have a keg now pouring at The WatchmakerŌĆÖs. All profits will go to Grassroots Suicide Prevention (see below). So come along raise a glass.

HereŌĆÖs the front page of CAMRA - the Campaign for Real Ale, the consumer's champion WhatŌĆÖs Brewing that just landed on our mat. This delicious breakfast stout from Siren Craft Brew was tapped last night at the WatchmakerŌĆÖs and wonŌĆÖt last long! DonŌĆÖt miss it! #CBOB #hove #micropub

Our hogshead Horace is sporting his newest hat. This one was kindly donated by @hollerbrewery following their mariachi band event!

We had a lovely evening with Lesley and James from Langham Brewery at our ŌĆśMeet the BrewerŌĆÖ evening, part of our Brighton & Hove Beer Week events. They brought lots of samples from their fantastic range, as well as malts and hops for everyone to scratch and sniff! We were oŌĆÖreally excited to hear about their upcoming plans to introduce keg beers, and canŌĆÖt wait to start serving them soon! Watch this space......­¤Ź╗

Tonight's Brighton & Hove Beer Week Meet the Brewer event brings the lovely people from Langham Brewery over to the Watchmaker's all the way from Lodsworth. Make sure you drop in and say hi!

only popped in for a quick half while waiting for another delayed train (thanks southern) but seemed to be a lovely friendly pub with a good selection of ciders and ales, including local ones. would go again :-)

Seriously love this place! Great beers and a great selection of sausage rolls for meat eaters and veggies. Lovely warm staff too!

Probably the best micropub in Brighton and Hove! Super friendly staff and an excellent ever changing selection of 5 ales and 2 keg lines. Something for everyone, just don't tell everyone!! ­¤æŹ­¤Å╗­¤śā

Popped in to sample a couple of the real ciders. Lovely little pub, well worth a visit

My new favourite pub in Hove. Always a superb beer selection, all served at the right temperature and in a decent glass (no matter the size), lovely friendly staff and a relaxing place to be.

Love this place! Friendly and welcoming owners and customers, great selection of well kept ales - will definitely be finding an excuse to visit Brighton and Hove again to come back here!

Love this place! Always a great selection of ales on and the staff are welcoming and knowledgeable. Great cosy vibe in there too ’┐Į

Love love love this place... Fantastic atmosphere and they really care about your pint!! And it shows!!

Less than minute walk from hove station. This is a blinding micro pub where you can sometimes meet the person who brewed the beer ! sausage rolls are the best. Walk past? No way !! But check opening hours...

Great pub - good size for a micropub with a great beer range - very handy for Hove station especially if train delayed !

Great micro brewery pub. Staff is friendly, always welcome and smiley face and they know what they sell and always advise and give you an information about the drinks. Cosy place, tons of watches/clocks of course. But I realised cuckoo clock is not working anymore, didn't hear it yesterday :( Cheese board on Sundays, yummy. One of my favourite pub in around Hove train station, I wish more delay on train time table so I can drink more :)

Friendly, cosy and loads of dogs. So happy to have this place as my local.

Excellent beer straight from barrels held at the best temperature in an air conditioned room. Great friendly peopleŌĆ”it'a sociable s pub like they used to be!

Dropped in with a friend for an early evening drink today and loved what I found. First, the atmosphere was warm and convivial. And then I noticed the soundscape: just a murmur of voices. No one competing to talk over music or TV. I also love the idea of just joining a table and either sitting quietly or starting up a conversation. And I found the publican's (if that's the right word) explanation of what a micro pub is inspiring. Make sure to check the opening hours before you go - this one is run by two people with day jobs, so naturally it can't be open all the time. Can't wait to go back.

Bestie micro pub in Hove, itŌĆÖs the only micro pub in Hove, but it is great. If you like real ale you should definitely visit this pub.

Best kept secret in hove ’┐Į

Beautiful little place! Feels like home as soon as you walk in. Lovely, smiley staff to make you feel welcome x (and the rhubarb infused cider is to die for!!)

Another great micro pub .

A well kept pub with 5 barrels on.

Handy for Hove station .



360,Gun,Downland,Holler ,Manchester Marble,Crate ,Hammerpot ...

A much needed addition to Hove. Great well kept beers, great owners, no music, tv or fruit machines, great selection of wine including the classics known as red and white. There's nothing not to like here.
