A Brighton food blog.
As part of Brighton’s October Best restaurant festival, The Chilli Pickle have created Al and D’s Toddy Shop. Based on the roadside drinking shacks in Kerala, the dish reflects some of South India’s best street food and nods to the popular palm wine. Enormous platters …
Yes, you heard right – the first ever Sussex Gin and Fizz Festival is coming to Lewes! This Saturday, 30th September, an entire festival for local gin and sparkling wine is being held at Southover Grange Gardens – which gives me the perfect opportunity to …
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 …
Deltic Group bring Steinbeck & Shaw to Brighton Steinbeck & Shaw is a brand new bar to Brighton’s notorious West Street. West Street?! I can hear you thinking, but do bear with me. Opening within the Tardis-like building that houses Pryzm and Odeon (I honestly can never get …
The majority of my friends and family will know that I grew up an incredibly fussy eater. The chicken nuggets kind of kid, that was me. But as I entered my mid-teens, I realised how much I was missing out. I was quite lucky then, when my …
An independent coffee house on Queens Road, Brighton It’s been a while since I ventured out to review a coffee shop. Generally, now that I work out of town I tend to spend free time at my favourites – when time is short, it just ain’t …
This recipe is so quick and easy, I couldn’t quite believe how good it tasted the first time around! Forget overly sweet shop bought stir fry sauces, this can be made with just three ingredients and packs a punch in taste. An incredibly versatile meal, …
The Brighton food community has been all of a flutter once more with the anticipation of new restaurant, Pascere. In my short experience as a food blogger, it’s a funny thing being part of a food community. News explodes seemingly from out of nowhere, and …
Master the art of sourdough pizza at Franco Manca! Franco Manca started life as a neighbourhood pizzeria in Brixton, London. You may remember, from my first review of Franco Manca when they opened in central Brighton last spring, that the establishment has undergone a swift upscale, growing …
The How to Eat Well tour & Tiny Budget Cooking Last weekend, I was invited along to the launch of Bluebird’s How to Eat Well book tour in Brighton. Partnering with Twitter, the tour involved panel discussions with some of our most prominent food writers currently, …
V and H has long been a local favourite. After enjoying solid reviews over the last couple of years, they’ve earned a stellar reputation as a top spot for breakfast in Brighton. Although a little way out from us, I’d been getting a little itchy to …
Update 2018 – Three Stack have now moved to The Villas, Hove. If you don’t know already, I really like pancakes. They’re generally my go-to for breakfasts and brunches (and sometimes even early dinners) out. I’d had my eye on Three Stack for a little …
I only really discovered mac and cheese a couple of years ago. Since then it’s become a bit of an obsession, and something I definitely can’t resist when perusing a menu. What maniac can say no to a steaming bowl of pasta absolutely smothered in multiple cheeses? A crunchy breadcrumb topping? Maybe …
The Third Place turns one! If you follow me across social media, you may have seen that I recently celebrated my blog’s first birthday! I can’t quite believe it’s been a whole year since I threw all caution to the wind and started The Third …
A few weeks ago, I went to Amsterdam for a long weekend. Having already been before, we took this trip as an opportunity to relax a little, rather than traipsing to and from tourist attractions. Although we did visit a cat museum, which was every …
Brightonians rejoice, for there is finally a restaurant worth visiting at Brighton Marina! I’ve long had an issue with the restaurant quality down at the marina. Of course, most of your Italian chains are good for a consistent and tasty (if not slightly inauthentic) meal, …
This giveaway has now ended. Get your stretchy pants at the ready, the Foodies Festival is coming back to Brighton! The UK’s biggest celebration of food, drink and wellbeing is kicking off at Hove Lawns this May Bank Holiday. I’m super thrilled to be heading over for …
A whole festival for coffee you say!? Yes, such a thing does exist and it is right up my street! Organised as part of UK Coffee Week (which is happening right now FYI), the event showcases the best coffee roasters and shops, food and drink …
If you go to one place for lunch in Brighton this week/end, go to Hash House. No, I’m not trying to push anything dodgy, this is a new venture from Brighton’s The Troll’s Pantry. And it’s just brilliant. Located next to Trollburger within the Trafalgar Street …
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. …
There has been a lot of buzz surrounding The Salt Room recently. Not only has the acclaimed seafood restaurant just celebrated its second birthday and been named in the Sunday Times Top 100, they also recently launched a rather unique Afternoon Tea experience. Yes you know, the …
You might remember my review of Edendum, a charming (and authentic) Italian in the heart of the Lanes. After a great first visit, I was super excited to be invited back for an evening of tasting. Pizza, prosecco and… more prosecco With Brandon in tow, I arrived to the familiar, …
As I’m writing this post, I’m sat on a plane with some bloke’s knees in my back. He’s snoring and the girl next to me keeps slapping her hair in my face. Not the way I’m choosing to end my trip to Copenhagen, I’m bringing …
Day three in Copenhagen started, as all days should, with pizza. We’d decided to visit Rosenborg Castle in the city centre, and stopped by a bakery to keep us going. Rosenborg Castle A summer home for the Danish monarchy in the 17th century, Rosenborg revealed …
Our second day in Copenhagen got off to a sunny start. Before we left the apartment. Whilst dry for the first couple of hours we were out, the rest of the day was pretty wet. Did we take an umbrella out that day? We did …
I’m writing this post from the squishiest bed in Copenhagen – although maybe don’t fact check me on that. Rather than write one colossal summary post of my trip, I’d like to bring you a roundup of each day that we’re here. Three nights, four …
Recently, I received a rather sparkly delivery… in the form of six gluten free AND vegan doughnuts from Rosina Makes. “Wait”, I hear you say, “you’re not vegan or gluten free?!”. It’s true, I’m neither, but it doesn’t mean I can’t taste these from a different perspective. Rosina …
