A Brighton food blog.
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 …
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 …
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 …
6 months ago today, I went for a roast, took a bunch of photos and wrote my first ever blog post for The Third Place. Since then, I’ve found a whole new community of Brighton friends; reviewed coffee shops and restaurants; shared some of my …
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 …
2018 update – the cafes in i gigi has now sadly closed. I recently stopped by i gigi for a Top Five Most Ingrammable Cafés feature I worked on for Brighton Girl and instantly fell in love with the beautiful aesthetics and serene setting. My …
I’ve been saving a review of Fatto a Mano for quite some time, although I don’t really know why that is. Perhaps because this place is quite special to me and I wanted to do it right, or perhaps because every time I go I …
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 …
I feel like blogging has brought out a braver side in me recently. Once an incredibly fussy eater, and never one to walk into a restaurant that looked empty, my curiosity about trying new food and places for myself has taken over. I mean, I ate an Octopus …
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 …
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 …
Updated March 2026: Marmalade has had a significant renovation over the years, and now no longer looks like this! Additionally, it is no longer dog-friendly, which is a huge shame. The food, baked goods, and pantry selection are still excellent. Warning: blogging about Café Marmalade …
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 …
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 …
After our recent visit to Turkey, we were lucky enough to travel to Nîmes after a mere two days back in England to join two of our good friends for another break. Nîmes is a city within the South of France that dates back to the Roman Empire, …
I must apologise for the recent absence again but I am BACK with a few tales from overseas! On Monday I returned from a relaxing week’s holiday in Bodrum, with a short hop over to the Greek island of Kos. Usually, I’m fairly adventurous on …
Tonight I had the very exciting privilege of taking three guests for an evening of pizza trialling at the much anticipated Franco Manca, a Neapolitan style pizza restaurant opening on Regent Street in Brighton this Friday! When I heard Franco Manca was the latest Neapolitan style …
This weekend just gone, I got to explore a little of what Tooting and Clapham have to offer when I went to visit one of my best friends. Before she moved, I did a little research (of course) ahead of our inevitable visits to stay …
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 …
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, …
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 …
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 …
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 …
