Casual dining

I’m late the the party, I know. If you live in Brighton, you’ll already know about Burger Brothers. Whether you’ve tried them or not, I daresay you know a cult fan or two. But the cult has grown. Now, I’m known amongst my friends for …

Updated March 2026: Nu Posto closed permanently in around 2023.

I’ve been a little absent lately amongst preparations for starting a new job and leaving another, but I’m back now with promises of being a better blogger and a review all about… GRUBBS. A big part of me thinks you’ll know it well. When I …

Updated March 2026: The Troll’s Pantry is no longer trading. However, to this day it remains the best burger I’ve ever eaten 🥲

What is Smashburger? Smashburger has been a hotly anticipated addition to the burger scene in Brighton; one which, unlike other American burger chains such as Five Guys and Shake Shack, many of us have not tasted or perhaps even come across before now. The brand …

Edited March 2026: Polpo closed in around 2018. Its two remaining restaurants can be found in London’s Soho and Chelsea. If you haven’t already heard of Polpo, then today I would like to tell you about it. And if you have, well then I trust …

Updated March 2026: Circo (formerly Señor Buddha closed in around 2019). Since then, Kitgum Kitchen was in residence, and in spring/summer 2026 the site will be home to The Set. Almost a year ago, Señor Buddha popped up along the somewhat degenerate parade of shops …

After almost 15 months of walking or bussing past it basically every day, I finally popped in to Pizza 500 this week to see what’s good. First Impressions Pizza 500 nestles in amongst the houses on Preston Road and has the proper look of your …

MEATliquor: Come hungry, leave wobbly. For anyone new to Brighton, or planning a visit soon, I think I should tell you about MEATliquor. Beginning in London with a burger van, the hype surrounding MEATliquor grew considerably in a short time, and they grew to set …

Updated March 2026: Stock Burger Co. is now closed. It has been replaced by sports bar, Bench. Stock Burger Co. is a place I’ve wanted to check out since the weekend it opened back towards the beginning of the year. For a while, I went …

So tonight I visited Wahaca, a brand new Mexican restaurant to Brighton that opened its doors to the public today, and ate all the food. Wahaca is a fairly small Mexican chain, probably best known around London, but also with establishments in Manchester, Liverpool, Bristol and …
