Redroaster in Brighton and Hove

This was our fourth visit for lunch here. Our first visit was a great success and the food excellent however things have gone downhill. On our latest visit the not so attentive staff (but still very pleasant) informed us that the “group’s” executive chef worked there for the first month and now just pops in. This probably explains why the food is not good at all now. Such a shame as it started so well. Great for a drink at a pleasant spot but food not to be recommended at all.

Happy hour drinks and bar food were excellent. Great service and perfect location. Large terrace for dining and drinking alfresco. Perfect!

I like the coffee here but the coffee is sometimes not very hot and this was the case during my last visit. I think it's a training issue. In Italy the cups are often kept hot. Staff are always great.

The coffee was deep and rich but could be larger in size the breakfast however was perfect. We had the crab and avocado benedict and it was amazing. Staff were friendly and efficient. Expensive but totally worth it.

Absolutely loving it. A modern restaurant/building in the heart of Brighton. Great menu, loving the breaded chicken. Will be back soon.

Fabulous new restaurant attached to the dome theatre. Fabulous, well cooked food and some interesting cocktails. Service is laid back and efficient. Overall very good value for money ( will definitely be back for the chicken liver crumpet, picture attached)

Great food, interesting drinks and good service. Ideal for pre theatre visit as Theatre Royal a minute away! Really enjoyed it

I was attending the Theatre Royal and I looked at the menu outside and thought yes it looks good I went in greeted by two lovely members of staff a good menu I actually ordered the Chicken Schnitzel with salad and fries it was just amazing I didn’t want it to end it was so delicious amazing the best

We had dinner on a January night. The restaurant was warm and cosy and the layout and decor is beautiful. The menu is varied: not particularly long, but full of interesting and original things, and someone wanting plant based dishes would do as well as someone wanting meat or fish. Our server Abi was very good and attentive, and the whole place was welcoming and enjoyable. Highly recommended, and we'll be back. Redroaster's ethical and environmental policies are a big plus, too.

Had a meal here with some pals. We couldn't have had better service from the very lovely Lilly. This is a lovely restaurant that deconstructs some classics in a really inventive way whilst offering a varied menu. Will definitely be back. Thanks for such a lovely experience.

Redroaster New Road - Dome Popped in for a drink after seeing a show at the theatre Royal opposite. The building is part of the newly renovated Dome. Inside is nicely decorated and set out. It is sectioned off from the dome by a curtain. Unfortunately a breeze was coming through into the restaurant as the Dome had their doors open. It was a bit chilly. Hopefully they will look at an affective solution, we watched a few people swapping tables. The service was good. The wine & cocktails reasonably priced. The menu is small however the small plates & fish & chips were very tasty. I will definitely return here when in this part of Brighton.

Let’s start with the good: the cocktails were excellent. The food was tasty and good value. However, the service was lacking massively - not particulalrly attentive. We had to stand up to get someone’s attention to get the dessert menus as we hadn’t been offered them when our table had been cleared 20 mins earlier. We appreciated the gap to start with but then it became annoying. No one followed up asking if we wanted another drink either. We weren’t alone as we heard several tables slurping the dregs of their drinks through straws. Combine the limited service with the coldness of the indoor restaurant and we were left disappointed. Temp can be subjective but the external doors were left open for the convenience of the staff serving outside rather than the customers inside. We even asked if the temp could be sorted, which resulted in one of the doors being closed, which helped marginally but every woman (about 10) all sat at their tables with their coats on, a scarf round their neck and/or looking cold. It was a pretty clear visual indicator of the issue that no one picked up on. I don’t generally feel the cold but my nose was cold! We overheard several people grumbling about it too. I actually liked the food, the decor, the location and the cocktails were genuinely excellent. Sort the temp inside of an evening and improve the service (which could manage the temp issue) and you could have an excellent restaurant. Until then, basic things are holding it back. I got a follow up email the day after asking for a review via the booking app. I wrote pretty much the same thing in that review as in this and did receive a response back a day or so later acknowledging the feedback and apologising for the overall experience. It was a welcome response but without going back - which is unlikely as I don’t live in Brighton - it’s hard to know if things have improved.

Such a lovely building on the corner of The Dome. Friendly staff and good service. Amazing brunch! Great coffee. We were very impressed.
