Great comfort food - Edit
Wings are especially delish, quality can be slightly hit and miss, always tasty but sometimes it's perfect and crispy and sometimes it can be a little soggy/oily. Still love this place though

Never misses! - Edit
Beelzebab at the Hope and Ruin is one of my go to's in Brighton. A cool pub with good drinks and a fantastic all vegan junk food menu! The chilli cheese dog, fries a go-go and pengest poppers are my personal favourites. Plus they're on delivery too for when you're feeling lazy!

Vegan doner 😋 - Edit
I had the loaded fries "meat n chips" which was chips covered in seitan doner and chilli sauce. Delicious and good value for money too. Good atmosphere in the bar they are based in (especially if you like rock music)

Simple, tasty junk food - Edit
Based within a quirky pub (The Hope & Ruin), Beelzebab serves diner style junk food.
Read morePrices are great, and the food tasted good, but was very simple. The currywurst loaded fries is literally just sliced sausage on fries with curry sauce. A bit more creativity could have improved it, but what it is is still well worth trying if you just want a good hotdog. Especially if you want it with a pint of beer!

Topnotch. - Edit
Many things I love about this venue, vegan hit dogs and kebabs, a great range of beers and friendly staff. Alternative vibe and live music venue upstairs. Busy in evenings but pleasantly peaceful in the day.

Vegan junk food inside pub - Edit
All vegan Food outlet within the pub. Serves mainly hot dogs, kebabs and chips. The kitchen is in a quirky caravan. I had the 'Norm' hot dog with a side of chips. My friend had cheesy chips. The hot dog was ok, nothing special, and the portion of cheesy chips was quite small. Service was quick, and it filled a hole before going to a gig upstairs. I would eat here again for the convenient location and nice atmosphere. Staff were friendly.

Beelzebab Belly Busting at Hope & Ruin - Edit
A long standing Brighton pub, the Hope & Ruin is centrally located in the city, providing 666% vegan food and booze in a vibrant arena of kitsch memorabilia and music. Beelzebab has been fulfilling the menu for 10 years now, with all foods of comfort; from hot dogs to kebabs, loaded fries and tater tots to brownies and cake. Junk food at its best with handmade seitan and fries loaded with a choice of toppings, all demanding to be ordered and greedily gobbled up. Portions are generous and we happily shared a Beelzebab kebab (only because this was our second lunch of the day!). Sparkling water and a glass of the house red wine were our refreshments of choice, served up by lovely people to 2 hungry vegans on a wet and miserable Monday afternoon. Perfect!

Tasty junk food - Edit
Very heavy as obviously it's junk food but still worth it as an occasional guilty pleasure. I was particularly impressed with the KFC style chicken drumsticks - super tasty😋

Great vibe and vegan hotdogs - Edit
Went here on our first night in Brighton for a couple of drinks and some vegan junk food, the hotdog was real good and the PB&J loaded fries were so tasty! Partner said the vegan hotdog tasted like a normal hotdog, though I quite liked it because it wasn't a strong flavour which meant the toppings really added. Loved the music playing and the whole vibe of the place, which even extended to the graffiti in the woman's toilets 😆 Would recommend for a couple of drinks (maybe not the whole night as it's quite loud there with the music) and some great vegan fast food

Good food, definitely different - Edit
My bf & I split the “Big Ben” which was very interesting. It was too spicy for me but that’s on me for not reading everything correctly. It was also hard to split but we made it work. It’s inside a bar & I loved “666% vegan”

Great Food - Edit
Food was delicious. We ordered the krautdog and chilli nacho hotdog with satay and chilli jam loaded fries. Food was delivered to the table in good time, lots of good flavours. We got the fries not knowing if we would like them but we thought it worked really well, the satay wasn’t too overpowering and the sweetness of the jam worked with it -I would really recommend this.
Read moreAfterwards we got an Oreo brownie with peanut butter and caramel ice cream. Brownie was a great texture, not too soft and not grainy.
If we come back to Brighton we would eat here again ☺️
