Rum Kitchen in Brighton and Hove

Very slow and inattentive service, especially when place was nearly empty. Food good nothing out of the ordinary but also add a 15% service charge which is ridiculous considering the service we were given.

Crazy place to go! Not worth visiting for many reasons!! Run by kids! Unfriendly manager! No wonder not many people where there when we were there..

Very bad service!! Good and drinks was served too long! Inefficient waitress assigned to us!! Unfriendly manager at least to me! Service charge of £57 !! Main door kept wide open while it’s cold outside!! I won’t recommend! Really bad experience for all of us!!

My wife and I visited the rum kitchen in Brighton with our 5 year old daughter. We were really looking forward to it as we love Caribbean food. Booking was for 6pm on a Friday. We got there and there was only 2 other tables with customers. We were sat down....15 mins passed with nobody coming to take any order so I went to the bar , they then came over to us. ANOTHER 20 mins passed with no drinks.. it was only 1 beer and 1 cocktail . Had to go and ask . I mean , I might semi understand if the place was rammed, but it was dead!!! Drinks eventually arrived. Interestingly , the RK NO1 pilsner I ordered claimed to be 5.2% on the menu, can said 4.6%. Tad difference there !!!!! I pointed this out. Food came. My wife asked for some jerk sauce in a pot, but we were told this would cost extra !!! Given our service thus far I was a little taken back by that. Then I tucked into my RK jerk bowl. Which turned out to be a mound of rice & peas with TWO chicken thighs...2. Small at that. My wife ordered a chicken burger thing , however the chicken was pretty much burnt to a crisp . Couldn't eat it. All in all, pretty appalling place. Dread to think what it's like when it's busy. Avoid at all cost!!!!!

Good value for Brighton, large portions, attentive service, central location. Had to pre-order being a large party.
