A Brighton food blog.
As we entered 2017, I began compiling a list of all the places I had yet to try around Brighton. One restaurant I’d continually heard great things about was Cafe Chilli, so of course it was on there. Well you can imagine my absolute delight when …
Updated March 2026: Brighton Beer Dispensary is now The Rook Taproom, and the Dizzy Gull kitchen no longer operates.
Well okay, I’ve only been running this blog for 9 months, but that doesn’t sound as good does it? 2016 was a pretty shit year in terms of current events. But on a more personal level, it saw the start of an entirely new side of …
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 …
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 …
Last weekend, I went ice skating with two of my best friends in Canary Wharf to celebrate one of their birthdays. It was… terrifying, for the first 20 or 30 minutes, until we got the hang of it and managed to enjoy ourselves. But that’s …
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 …
This is an exciting post for me, as it’s the first time I’ve ever reviewed a food product* – and boy, is it an interesting one! Love Chin Chin is a range of West African sweet snacks with the textural crunch of a biscuit and …
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 …
I thought I would write up one of my easiest and most used recipes, as it always proves to be immensely satisfying in our household and a great way to use up a bunch of stuff from the fridge too! Chilli garlic sausage potato hash. This …
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 …
It’s been a while since I brought you a ‘First Place’ post – that is, something relating to our lives at home. The other day I made a very simple and delicious vegetable curry, and I thought I might share it with you as it …
