“All of life was here in The Bevy, from young to old, from scruffy to dog’s dinner, from mates chatting to families enjoying each other’s company.”

Support us
Apart from our wonderful paid staff the Bevy is also supported by a small army of volunteers.
From managing community events to changing light bulbs every task is vital. Our volunteers support the pub but at the same time they support each other and the wider community of Moulsecoomb & Bevendean.
We need people to train as minibus drivers, to help with maintenance tasks, serve food at community events, washing up, painting & decorating, kids parties and helping to teach computer/internet skills.
If you have any time spare please text Ian on 07793 053 832 or send an email to volunteers@thebevy.co.uk

Our news
We have been putting a plan together to make and deliver the community lunches locally. We intend to run a small pilot to test some menus and how the ordering, payment and delivery will work. We have been talking to a company that provides an ordering and payment process and will be meeting with them…
Here’s a tale of a pub that refused to die: An older guy with mild learning disabilities lives on his own near the Bevy. The services he regularly uses all close over the holidays. People who know him are worried he would be alone. So Bridge the Gap lunch club, which moved to the Bevy…
As well as being Brighton’s only community owned pub, is the Bevy Brighton’s first zero food waste pub? Every weekday lunchtime we serve up home cooked community lunches for just £4 thanks to our link up with Fareshare Sussex who redistribute surplus food, feeding bellies not bins. We also receive donations from Infinity Wholesalers. Any…
Wouldn’t it be nice if the news occasionally reflected all the amazing stuff happening around the country? People working their hardest to make a difference in their neighbourhoods; from community cafés, piers, farms, hubs, sports clubs and of course community pubs. But nearly five years on from opening and it’s very depressing that The Bevy…
What a sofa outside a pub has to teach us about good governance What can leaders in the social sector learn about governance from the story of sofa outside a local pub in Brighton? In the third instalment of his governance column, Bob Thust – a member of the Bevy Management Committee – brings to life some…
A Week in the Bevy Last week a derelict pub in Hampshire that almost became another depressing statistic was named as CAMRA’s Pub of the Year. The message that a badly run pub that had been shut, had been turned around and was now thriving should be stuck up the backside of every pub property…
About us
Re-built, re-decorated and re-opened by an army of volunteers
in December 2014 The Bevy is the first community-owned and run estate pub in the UK.
We are a Community Benefit Society with over 700 shareholders and any money we make is reinvested in the local area, making The Bevy More Than A Pub.
If you’d like to talk to someone about becoming a shareholder call 01273 281 009 or email contact@thebevy.co.uk or click here.
Homegrown Films have produced this engrossing, funny and entertaining documentary detailing the trials and tribulations that unfolded when a group of ordinary, but passionate, locals decided to re-open their local pub.
