Dog-friendly
We’re so lucky to have so many dog-friendly restaurants, cafes, shops and pubs in Brighton. So much so, that it can be a shock when you end up turned away from somewhere! As the mother to a miniature dachshund that is with me about 95% of the time, I’ve increasingly realised how helpful it is to have a list of dog friendly places in Brighton handy.
This area is very much a work in progress, but please do feel free to send places my way!
44 Poets | Speciality Coffee
Tucked along a quiet street just off of Portland Road is 44 Poets, Hove’s newest independent coffee shop. Unlike some of its neighbours, 44 Poets is the real speciality coffee deal and brings with it the vibes of a Melbourne coffee house, coupled with Scandi …
LOST IN THE LANES | Nile St, Brighton
After two and a half years, I still manage to take a wrong turn and get lost in Brighton’s twisting Lanes. Of course there are worse places to wander into, but I’ll often find myself passing through to get somewhere else. So I was pleased to …
Rust Roasts | Sunday Lunch at Cafe Rust
Cafe Rust is one of those places I always meant to get around to visiting. Tucked in Preston Road, it sits in that strange part of town that actually hosts some of Brighton’s gems – think Señor Buddha, The Joker, Hare & Hounds and Fatto a Mano. …
Tom’s Food
Last weekend, I took a little trip to Cuckfield in West Sussex to visit Tom’s Food, a café restaurant that I’ve had my eye on since discovering it on Instagram a few months back. Tom’s Instagram is a collection of his foodie creations, supper clubs …
Nowhere Man | Pancake Club
I was very recently invited* down to Nowhere Man with my foodie pal, Jess, to review its famous Pancake Club. As we knew we’d need the pick me up, we chose to visit the morning after the Brighton Girl Halloween Party. Boy, were we right. Struggling …
Black Mocha | Revisit
You might remember that I visited Black Mocha back in June and left a little undecided on my overall verdict. Here’s a little recap of my final thoughts when I visited and blogged a review previously: So far for me, the jury is still kind …
Café Plenty
Updated March 2026: Café Plenty moved location in early 2019 and eventually closed that year. At the top of London Road you’ll find Circus Parade – for a long time a strange, degenerate little corner that added to the shabby reputation London Road is still slowly …
Local Spot: Crown & Anchor
Updated March 2026: Crown & Anchor looks to have had a significant refurbishment in recent years, so these photos will no longer reflect the current experience. As I’ve said before, sadly there isn’t much of a community hub in my local area, except a couple of …
Black Mocha
Black Mocha has caught my eye ever since it surfaced in place of Chocaffinitea on Gloucester Road. I’ve since found out that it is in fact the very same establishment having gone through a complete rebrand, and I have to say it 100% looks all …
The Flour Pot Bakery, Fiveways
Whilst I’ve got you here, I guess I’d better let you in on a fact about myself: I live for bread. And pastries. And coffee. Slap the word artisan in front of any of these and I’m positively weak. So you can imagine my excitement, and the danger, …
My third place: Pelicano Coffee and Tea House
I thought today I’d write a post about one of my top third place spots around Brighton: Pelicano Coffee and Tea House (you’ll soon learn that I am way too indecisive to have one third place). Based in Sydney Street at the top of the …
Devil’s Dyke and The Ginger Fox
For the almost year that I have lived in Brighton, I’m a little ashamed to say I’d never visited Devil’s Dyke, a sprawling valley of beauty right on the doorstep of Brighton. So today, my boyfriend and I decided to take a drive up to …
