About The Park View

The Park View is a Trusted Tagvenue Partner, validated by the Tagvenue team with a record of successful bookings on the platform.

The Park View is a smart two‑storey pub combining a stylish Modern British restaurant with a well‑appointed bar.

Venue highlights: Separate restaurant and bar areas allow hosts to plan seated private dining or a standing reception across distinct zones. In-house catering provides plated menus and bar food for private hires and can be paired with a well-stocked bar serving beer, wine, cocktails and spirits. An all‑weather patio increases the hireable footprint for outdoor receptions and seated dining when weather permits.

Best for: Family celebrations, informal private dining and summer garden receptions.

Location: The Preston Park area of Brighton offers a large public park and nearby green space that guests can use for post-event walks or photos.

What guests say: The service is welcoming and attentive for group bookings and family meals. The food and drink are presented well and provide reliable options for both plated dining and bar-led gatherings.
