Where to Drink: Mulled Wine in Brighton

Spotlight on: Fountain Head

102 North Road, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1 1YE

Christmas has already landed in Brighton’s famous Laines, and there’s an abundance of places to shop for independent and unique gifts in its winding streets! Once you’ve stocked up on stuff for family and friends, stop off in the Fountain Head for a cosy festive drink. The bar has plenty of twinkly lights, Christmas decorations and cosy armchairs to snuggle up in - there’s even a flickering wood burner to warm you up. Enjoy a spicy, warm and cinnamon packed Mulled Wine from the bar, or treat yourself to a toasty Mulled Cider instead!

Sticking around for a little while? Your mulled beverage will be the perfect accompaniment to some quality, locally sourced pub grub. Straight from the Fountain Head kitchen, enjoy fat burgers, classic pub mains or small bites to eat. Pre-bookings can even enjoy a stunning three-course Christmas Menu which features Mulled Wine Poached Pears as a dessert!
