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 …
When Social Media Goes Too Far
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 …
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 …
The Third Place is 6 Months Old!
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 …
Trollburger
Updated March 2026: The Troll’s Pantry is no longer trading. However, to this day it remains the best burger I’ve ever eaten 🥲
Smashburger
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 …
i gigi Café
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 …
Love Chin Chin | Product Review
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 …
Fatto a Mano
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 …
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 …
Street Thai | Brighton
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 …
Chilli Garlic Sausage and Potato Hash
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 …
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 …
CIRCO (Formerly Señor Buddha)
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 …
Café Marmalade
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 …
Sweet Potato and Spinach Curry
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 …
MEATliquor
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
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 …
Nîmes, South of France
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, …
Bodrum and Kos
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 …
NEW: Franco Manca Sourdough Pizza
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 …
Brickwood Coffee and Bread
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 …
