The Coal Shed Restaurant in Brighton and Hove

Came across this gem today and was able to get a table without booking! The food was delicious (I loved the mac and cheese and the pork belly) The service was great, every member of staff acknowledged us either by saying hello or a subtle smile. I’ll add I manage a steakhouse out of Brighton so I know what I like to expect and I can honestly say I will be back very soon.

4 of us celebrated my friends 60th birthday there on the 25th April. The food was excellent and the guy that was serving us was an absolute joy. Can’t recommend highly enough!

Excellent food, nice atmosphere, and great service.

Food was great, but the experience left me really disappointed. I’d confirmed twice that the set menu would be available on Easter Friday — I chose the date for affordability and planned everything around it. When we arrived, we were told it wasn’t running. As someone who’s neurodivergent, I rely on accurate info to make outings manageable. I felt dismissed when I raised it, suppressing a meltdown on what was meant to be a treat. Really disheartening — especially during a cost of living crisis. Not the inclusive experience I’d hoped for.

Fabulous food, fabulous venue, Fabulous service - can’t wait to go back!!

Fabulous food. The most amazing steaks. Definitely recommend

Visited on Good Friday- really wanted to be blown away as seen great reviews but wasn’t. Decor was good and staff were mostly friendly and helpful. It felt clean too. Front of house lacked a little attentiveness required at times (waiting 20 minutes for tap water after also ordering our drinks when we first got in and having to ask again) - but we’re mostly friendly. Menu seemed limited that by 3pm, the steak cut sizes we wanted had sold out so had to go for alternative menu choices. I had the starter of scallops - 2 scallops for £14…. I’d rather pay a little more and actually get 3/4 scallops but £7 a scallop seems extortionate. I opted for the chicken Caesar salad in the end - nothing special sadly. My friend went for rump steak - that was cooked nicely. Cocktails were not very tasty. All in all it was ok. Wasn’t amazing for £128 between us so won’t be rushing back.

The first time back since the new move, the food was great and the chateaubriand steak was amazing as always. We spent over £200 between the two of us which is fine for a good food but the service lacked the personal touch. The server was polite but that's were it ended. When we go out for a meal it's not just the food that's important the service aswell. It's a package to make the evening. In the old location they had the service they had communication and took the time to talk, it's not just about taking an order and bringing to the table. Would I rush back again? No. Which is a real shame.

I visited The Coal Shed in Brighton (North Street) yesterday evening for the first time after hearing great things, and while the food was truly exceptional, the premium caviar and fillet steak were both top quality, the service unfortunately fell short. Despite placing my order before a nearby table, they were served before me, which was disappointing. I ordered the fillet steak medium rare, and while it was cooked to perfection, I wasn’t asked at any point how the food was or whether everything was to my satisfaction. For a restaurant with such a strong reputation, I had expected a more attentive experience. The food alone was excellent and worth the praise, but the lack of service on this occasion affected the overall impression. As a result, I did not feel it was appropriate to leave a tip.

We did impromptu lunch. I am very funny about steak have it very rarely and only when it’s really good reputation. I ordered fillet and my partner ordered two sides. the pulled beef croquettes and beef tartare. Firstly the food looked great. Service was a little slow and not super friendly. But the food was the star. The steak medium rare was excellent. The peppercorn sauce is probably the best peppercorn sauce I’ve tasted ever. Regardless of where in the world. (Spoilt a bit by the cornflower still undissolved in the bottom. But there was plenty of it to hide that) The triple cooked chips were excellent. The tartare looked amazing but a little disappointing for matching the taste. The pulled beef croquettes style things although starter/sides were fantastic. And with the various sauces and dipped in the peppercorn, was divine. We have been here many times for cocktails. And I rate this random steak experience with close par to the a5 wagu I had in Maldives of all places! Certainly the sides and sauce truly made it memorable. I’ll be trying a more expensive cut next time I’m there.

Everything was amazing fabulous food staff and excellent value

I went for a birthday meal, the menu is great and the beef tartar was one of the best I’ve ever had. Staff couldn’t do enough and the atmosphere was perfect. The vegetarian options for my date were also tasty. Will be retuning

It’s very rare (pun intended) to receive such good customer service! We had a small complaint about our steak being slightly overdone, and the waitress couldn’t do enough to apologise and rectify this small issue. The food and cocktails were absolutely delicious. All the staff were lovely and the restaurant itself had a lovely vibe.

4.5/5! We were off out celebrating and really wanted to enjoy a good steak. We came across this place walking past it and we are so glad we did! Jade was our waitress and we can't fault her, one of the best waitresses we have ever experienced! She was so attentive, knowledgeable and everything was so well timed. The food was delicious too. Only reason it wasn't 5* is that we had quite a long time to wait for our food. Jade did keep up informed, it was just a little too long for us. We did ask for 1 starter to be served with our mains but it didnt explain the wait. The meat was cooked rare/medium rare. About 40+ minute wait for the food. Old fashioned drink has a string smoky flavour, so some may like or not like this. It was a little overwhelming for us. Great selection of wines. Would definitely recommend and we will be returning!

First time at the new location, still great food and service, the side dishes were a highlight (short rib donuts / firecracker cauliflower), but all of it was delicious.

A really fantastic dinner party for our company, private dining, with a mix of dishes being brought out, the starters were all fantastic, especially the scallops, bang bang cauliflower and a different take on prawn toast. The main, the steak was a little rare for my liking, but the Seabass, chips, Mac and cheese and greens were exceptional. The dessert platter was also really nice. Excellent service, brilliant people, nice beers and wine on offer, altogether a fantastic dining experience.

Amazing food, drinks and atmosphere! Cannot wait to go back to try more!!

Super friendly staff and delicious food. We had a brilliant time and I would highly recommend this restaurant!

Very dissatisfying - lights in the restaurant were dimmed shortly after we arrived so couldn't read the menus had to use the light on the table and our mobiles. There were five in our party one of which had to sit on a sofa which was wedged up against the table and other chairs making it extremely difficult to get out to go to the rest room. Drinks took forever to arrive - would be an idea to teach your staff in this expensive setting to pour wine. Ours was slopped over the glasses and the table. The food was mediocre our order was wrong and we received some items that we had ordered and some that we hadn't. Food again took a long time to arrive and we had to keeping asking waiting staff. Maybe we came on an off night but very disappointing nevertheless.

We had fantastic pisco sours at the bar and beautifully cooked ribeye steaks. A wonderful meal…and the short rib donuts are not to be missed.

Amazing food, amazing service and a great ambiance. Thanks for a great night.

Absolutely amazing place great food and fantastic staff a must visit place ……

Excellent meal served by excellent staff in a lovely environment, highly recommend

I recently dined at the coal shed with high expectations, hoping for a pleasant meal and a smooth dining experience. Unfortunately, my visit was far from satisfactory. I ordered a steak cooked to medium, but what was brought to the table was cooked rare, with a cool, red center—well below the level of doneness I had requested. I immediately sent the steak back to the kitchen, expecting a quick and accurate correction. However, this mistake, combined with the time it took to remedy the situation, left me feeling frustrated. To make matters worse, I had a client with me during this visit, one I was hoping to impress in order to secure future work. Unfortunately, this mishap turned the dining experience into a far from ideal one, creating a negative impression that could have easily been avoided. Given the premium price of the steak and the importance of getting basic requests right, I found this experience to be substandard. As a result, I cannot recommend this restaurant for anyone seeking a reliable, quality meal, especially if you are trying to make a positive impression on important business matters. I would appreciate a formal response from the restaurant regarding this issue and how such errors will be addressed to avoid similar disappointments in the future. I hope that management takes this feedback seriously to ensure a higher standard of service moving forward

Absolutely fantastic food that blew my expectations away. And the service by Sean was the best anyone can ask for, big thanks to him for making our night so enjoyable and memorable.

The Filet Mignon was Excellent. Very tender, juicy and cooked to perfection.The fries, egg plant, beets, fried chicken, fresh bread, salad and even the ginger ale were all Delicious. Atlanta, our server was Excellent and checked on us to ensure that everything was fine. Beautiful atmosphere. I Highly recommend The Coal.Shed and will eat there again when I return to Brighton. I would give TEN Stars if I could ❣️. Ms. Victoria Maree Ola, Rhode Island, USA

Fifth or sixth visit to The Coal Shed Brighton since it opened, this time for Sunday Lunch on Mother's Day. Despite being fully booked and ultra busy the service was spot on by the knowledgeable and friendly staff. The food was excellent, we had the sirloin to share. Everything, and I mean *everything*, was flavourful and perfectly cooked. I can't think of any other roast in the city I can say that about. So good I'm back this coming weekend to treat a visiting friend. Wel done to all the front and and back of house team for a consistently fabulous dining experience. The week day Set Menu is also a great option, especially for anyone headed to the The Theatre Royal or The Dome - both only a short walk away.

My second time visiting Coal Shed and once again a great time was had by all! It was Mothers Day so super busy, but the food was wonderful, service impeccable - brilliant all round!

We went to the Coalshed for Morhers Day meal, the food was amazing we had the Sunday roast and couldn’t fault it Staff friendly and attentive and great service

Great food and ambiance. Would be nice for a date or business dinner, although still family friendly and very accommodating of our five month old.

Had an amazing meal at the Coal Shed on a weekend in Brighton. From the moment stepped through the door, we were greeted by pleasant staff, a warm inviting atmosphere and the most delicious food. The staff were friendly and attentive and described the different cuts of meat making good suggestions of what would suit our appetites. Prime rib doughnuts were mouthwatering. Our server Serina was fun, energetic and personable and clearly enjoys her job which refreshing to see. The food was superb and we will most definitely recommend to friends and be back at some point. Thank you

Had a lovely meal, service was amazing, food was to die for.

Hidden treasure! Had the best time celebrating my 18th, the complementary Prosecco from the get go made the atmosphere feel so welcome and enjoyable (aesthetic was beautiful too). The food was also delicious and the staff were all great! Thank you for a wonderful evening

Really disappointing Sunday roast. Everything tasted great except the beef, which was bland and gristly. The vegetables were just warm and the potatoes were reheated, claggy and soggy. The best part was the Cauliflower cheese, hot and very cheesy. The waitress was not bothered that I barely touched the beef. I think they need to readdress the perfect roast statement!

Great new restaurant location. Sunday roast was more expensive than a pub one but in a different league.

Absolutely fabulous meal and fantastic service. A lovely atmosphere as well. My ribeye steak was cooked to perfection and the salty crust created by cooking over the fire was simply delicious. One of my favourite ways to enjoy a steak. The draft Guinness was exceptionally good for a restaurant as well - as good or if not better than some pubs. I would thoroughly recommend this place!

Fantastic food, impeccable service and value for money, will definitely return.

I rarely review these days, but this one is worth it. Our meal at The Coal Shed was absolutely incredible. Our steak was so succulent and cooked to perfection. Staff were attentive, wine was excellent, ambience was pleasurable. A lovely experience.

Very busy restaurant in central Brighton. Staff were well organised and willing to help throughout the whole meal.

Thank you for an excellent lunch. Love what you’ve done with the place :) The 2 most important aspects were delivered perfectly; great food and friendly service. Even as 1 vegetarian and 1 pescatarian we were very happy in this meat focused restaurant. The halibut was perfect but try the kimchi grilled cheese sandwich!

New location for the restaurant. Not as good as its previous location. Historically it was excellent, now it’s big and clunky. A mix of staff, mix of standards. We may have just had a bad night. Slow service, wines not available, waitress had to change the steak order 3 times as choices weren’t available early evening.

Long time customer of the coal shed over many years. The most recent visits to the new premises have unfortuntley been somewhat lacklustre. Good wines on wine list, however annoyingly some not available (we were told after ordering). Companions steak was not great and we got a refund due to it being gristly and not the best. The kitchen (which is open) had our food sat for over five minutes (we were sat literally opposite) listening to the sounds of service 4 times before collected. Our waiter was a lovely chap who was very apologetic but it was a Tuesday lunch time not on peak and not that busy. It’s lost its sparkle that it used to have and we unfortunatley we have given it numerous tries since its move (maybe been maybe unlucky) but will be using other establishments in the city where it’s not pot luck!

We went to the Coal Shed for an 80th birthday and it didn’t disappoint! The food was excellent, I started with the smoked beets and followed it with a beautifully cooked Ribeye. As with many places like this my main quibble would be that with the cost of the steaks and mains that they don’t come with at least one side. Other than that it was really nice meal.

Had heard lots of good reports about the restaurant and have dined at all the others in the group. So I took my wife for a date night treat and we had a most wonderful meal. All the staff were so friendly, especially our waiter. Steaks were superb and the beef fat chips were probably the best we have ever had. The miso aubergine starter was to die for. Will definitely be going again soon.

Amazing restaurant with delicious food and a great atmosphere and wonderful staff. They really have perfected the dining out experience!

Steak was nice but there isn't enough on the plate and it's not worth the price so I won't be coming back again

I'd only give it one star, not because the food was bad, but because the whole experience was a bit disappointing. We turned up without a reservation and were offered a table in the bar area, which has small tables but from what I saw they are used to serving Sunday Roast in the area. We ordered a cider and a coke and then it took a while for the food to arrive. While we were waiting, two ladies sat at the next table and one of them decided to paint her nails in the restaurant (nails polish smells horrible in a dining area!). The SR is family-style, so they bring a few dishes to share. When the sirloin came, the runner had no space to put the plate, so I lifted 3 empty bottles off the table. She left the plate and left me with the bottles in my hands, so I had to ask her to please take them away. The other option was to put them on the floor, which is not appropriate. We put the sides on our plates to save space. If you look at the video, you can see that one of the plates was half floating (the table should be 50 cm in diameter tops). I signalled to a waiter to take the empty plate, and he was carrying a glass of sparkling wine that wasn't for me. He accidentally turned it over and ended up wetting my shoulder, breast, arm, hip, leg and the booth where I was sitting. He apologised profusely, and I know he didn't mean to do it, but I was already wet and cold because we were sitting near the door, which was constantly opening to let people in and out. The food got cold while I used a napkin to dry myself. After a while, he came over to tell me he'd taken the drinks (coke and cider) off the bill, which I appreciated, but after ALL that, I wasn't happy. We finished eating because I was hangry, the meat was good, but the sides, even the extra cauliflower, were only ok. So, yesterday, we spent £69.75 for two of us, service and a sparkling bath included.

Sunday lunch was extraordinary. Beef cooked to perfection - I don't normally order beef as it's never right. Glad I took a chance at The Coal Shed.

Great food, great ambience, amazing service and definitely the treat that I needed.I can't recommend it enough!Thank you for an amazing evening!! Rachel

Very relaxed restaurant which made you feel welcome from start to finish. Great service, but lacked a bit of personal touch to the experience

Great restaurant in the centre of town, small on the outside but surprisingly big indoors, with a nice bar area at the front. Great sirloin steak, lovely sides and starters and great service. We went Tuesday lunchtime and it was busy even then, with a great atmosphere so ensure you book first!

It was a celebration of our Anniversary & the welcome we received was so thoughtful. Thank you for making the evening special ❤️ Food was delicious. Service great. Will definitely return.

Great food and great service for a birthday event, staff really looked after us and the ribeye was fantastic.

- Decor feels very nice and lighting intimate - Food was great, very tasty, well presented - Service of food was slow (kids finished their meal) and then we were served! Maybe ok in Wagamama, not what you expect of a fairly upmarket restaurant! - Waitress was amazing (attentive, well mannered and friendly) - Front of house (grumpy as)! We also received one drinks menu between four and when I asked for a kids menu (as we weren't given any) we received a kids desert menu before we had even eaten. Again pretty poor for a restaurant of this calibre! Eating out for me is both the food and service combined. If it wasn’t for the amazing waitress that served the meal and our drinks then it would have been a three star review. I would definitely eat here again as a lively setting and food is very good and well priced, but if the service from front of house is like this again it will be my last visit. Thank you to the chefs for a lovely meal (talented) and well done to our lovely waitress for being so lovely :)

Amazing food and lovely service. Always enjoy a visit to the Coal Shed but our first time at the new venue and it didn’t disappoint. Thank you.

A bit disappointed with my experience at the Coal Shed last night. The food was not warm enough when it arrived, which took away from the overall enjoyment of the meal. Additionally, I have ordered the steak medium but it was served blue. Staff was polite and the atmosphere was pleasant too

We chose the Coal Shed for our anniversary meal and we couldn't have been more happy with our experience. Staff was polite and attentive and the food was absolutely amazing - their steaks are to due for. Can't wait for our next visit 😁

Second time and this was so much better (first one may have been to teething issues) Steaks were suprb Sea bass great (although small portion) wines very good too

Food was delicious and excellent quality. Lovely friendly and attentive staff without being overbearing. Will definitely revisit

Absolutely fantastic birthday dinner experience here! Amazing atmosphere, spectacular food and very friendly attentive service, Claudio was brilliant! Simply faultless, strongly recommend.

First class steak restaurant in Brighton

Great restaurant, decent priced food, nicely decorated and good service. Would recommend

Had an amazing meal here last night. 6 of us in total. Everything was delicious and there wasn’t a scrap left on a plate. We had a selection of starters including the tuna tostadas, breads and scallops. Then we had a Delmonico Ribeye and Chateaubriand from the chalk board that were cooked to perfection. Sides were beautifully cooked chips and Caesar salad with one of each of the steak sauces. Staff were super friendly and the atmosphere was brilliant. Would 100% recommend and cannot wait to come back.

Staff were very welcoming, personable and attentive. Food was sublime and the pre theatre menu was reasonably priced.

One of the best steak places I have visited and is up there with the top US restaurants.

Our table was booked for 21:15 to celebrate our anniversary. The table was slightly delayed due to being busy/running behind. We were then seated in a very tight spot whereby my partner was not comfortable as he has staff knocking into him every time they served the tables either side. It was extremely loud and the music made it extra difficult to hear. We were then moved as the staff recognised it was too much of a tight squeeze. We were then seated in front of the kitchen. We did not get our mains until 22:40pm. I had ordered a steak to be cooked at medium. When this arrived, it was blue, we sent this back as it was under cook to what I had requested. I felt immediately uncomfortable as we were sat in front of the kitchen and could see multiple staff, including what I assume is the manager go over to see why it was sent back and who the table was. This really affected the dining experience. Once I received the dish back, I cut into it and saw that it hardly cooked much more. Still blue. I felt I was unable to send it back again after the first experience. Additionally, we had ordered side dishes which were getting cold and my partner trying to hold off eating his meal so we could eat together. When it came to paying the bill, the server recognised that my steak still was not cooked at medium so took half the price off for my steak. The whole experience was very disappointing particularly as we previously dined here at original location so we had high expectations. We were also frustrated and disappointed in their offer to only pay half of my steak considering the prices they charge which did not reflect the value and quality this time round. At a restaurant like this, you don’t expect to return your steak once let alone twice… sadly won’t be dining here again or recommending.

Love this new Coal Shed reloaded. Food was always spot on at the old place but we were never comfortable at the venue. This venue is 100% The lighting, decor, flooring, ambience - even the cute little bar with the DJ booth. It all works and the food is outstanding. Drinks and service top notch too. Had dinner and lunch so far. Lunch deal is great value. Sunday lunch left to try!

This was My first meal at the new venue. The steak is absolutely delicious and of the same quality. However ! For some reason, They now feel the need, to cut up, said steak. Which means that the surface area, is massively increased. As a result it is COLD, by the time the meal is finished. Speaking for myself. I learned to use Cutlery from around the age of 4.

We had the best steak roast to share it was amazing . Service was great

Amazing steaks and lovely staff. My steak was absolutely gorgeous . I had text menu which was good value. Staff were really really lovely and the restaurant is really well set out, lovely ambiance and atmosphere. We had a round table which I personally love. Mains took about an hour which was longer than we anticipated as we had theatre at 730 so unfortunately had to rush these but this will probably improve as they find their rhythm. All very nice though thanks.

The decor and atmosphere was great. We sat near the back which I think made it a better visit. The oysters were quite small and a bit disappointing but the rest of the food was yummy. Particularly the scallop, fish and prawn main.

We took my stepdaughter for her 18th & it was absolutely amazing. Our first time in the new place & it was stunning. Food & drinks to perfection friendly staff who went above & beyond. We will be back

Some time ago myself and my partner booked a slap up meal here. The only thing that he ate that I didn’t were the oysters and later that night he started violently vomiting, this continued for the next 48 hours. I emailed and called the restaurant to report the food poisoning. They were quite rude but promised me that management would be in touch asap, I never received a response. We spent £300 on that experience.

Everything just about perfect, from the staff to the atmosphere to the food. We had the pre-theatre menu which is a really good deal. The serving of the three courses was well paced and we were out of the door at 7pm ready for the 7.30 show at the Theatre Royal just around the corner. My only quibble was the £6 charged for a bottle of Lucky Saint zero alcohol beer, which meant I only had one drink throughout the meal.

Visited as recommended by a friend. Wasn't disappointed. Food and service were both excellent. Will visit again when next in Brighton.

Delicious roast and friendly staff.

Fantastic! Highly enjoyable meal. Excellent food. Really nice ambiance. Superb team. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Fabulous food, excellent service and a relaxed but very professional ambience. Highly recommended!

North St edition: bit less intimate than the old Boyce's St location but the food makes up for it. Sunday lunch with extras and birthday desserts. Delicious meats and served with care and love.

Good service, food was very good and came at reasonable time frames. Drinks was nice as well with good selection. Didn't feel rushed, changed order slightly to add things to my order and was great, done with no fuss or issues. Went for a birthday meal and even got a little treat signed for birthday after.

Would like social with friends. Very nice 👌

Amazing experience and even better food, 10/10 for the Coalshed Brighton 👏🏻

I visited this restaurant whilst in Brighton for a friend’s birthday and had a wonderful experience. The staff were super friendly and attentive, even allowing us to bring in a cake to celebrate whilst also bringing my friend a special birthday dessert on top. I tried a couple of delicious cocktails, my favourite being the Spicy Guava Margarita and we shared lots of starters with my favourite being the Blue Prawn Toast! I had a lamb roast for my main which was probably the best roast I’ve ever had, even the carrots were incredible, although I would recommend adding an extra stuffing ball to the roast dinners. The atmosphere of the restaurant was wonderful, the decoration was amazing and it felt super intimate. I’d love to return to this restaurant or their London venue to take a look at their seafood counter or try their 2/3 course lunch set.

We’ve visited the new Coal Shed three times recently for a late Sunday lunch with different friends, everyone has throughly enjoyed the experience, though on the higher side of what you’d expect to pay in Brighton the quality, service and atmosphere justify it, the cauliflower cheese is particularly delicious and my husband who is vegetarian has always managed to find something he likes.

Took my partner for a birthday dinner. Exceptional service and food and a really beautiful space. We had short rib doughnuts (I could have just had a big bowl of those and been very happy,) the sweetcorn ribs (lovely small plate option) and then shared a chateaubriand with fries and spinach. It was good perfectly and was delicious. Portions were a really good size and we had a few items from the cocktail menu too. Value was great and we’ll certainly be coming back.

We had an excellent Valentines lunch here which far exceeded our expectations. Had a lovely booth, great service, delicious food, amazing cocktails- overall fabulous experience. The decor and atmosphere was just right. Congratulations The Coal Shed.

I love the new location on North street. As always the food is top notch and it’s a great experience. Service to an always amazing! We will be back 🤩

The Coal Shed in Brighton is a true gem. I had been looking forward to having a meal at this renowned steakhouse, and I finally did—along with my partner and our three-year-old. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted in a warm and welcoming manner. The staff immediately showed they were very child-friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere of the restaurant is simply fantastic—elegant, well-balanced in terms of lighting and decor, with a stylish yet cosy ambiance. Now, onto the food. It was simply superb. From the starters (we had the sesame aubergine and beef tartare) to the perfectly cooked main meat cuts, as well as the thoughtfully crafted kids' menu, everything was beautifully presented and well-balanced in flavour. Each dish had a distinctive personality, as if every ingredient had been carefully chosen rather than just placed there by chance. The customer service was also excellent—our server was attentive, friendly, and helpful throughout the entire meal. We ended our dining experience with cocktails, which were equally impressive. Price-wise, I believe the cost is very fair for the quality you receive. This is undoubtedly a place we will be returning to. Highly recommended!

An impressive selection of steak cooked by the magic of fire, just like nature intended. Not the cheapest option available for a fine feed, but a great one for really pushing the boat out.

Incredibly convenient location - stepped off the bus and into the restaurant. Decor is beautiful and we we warmed through within minutes. Glorious bar area to wait in but we were taken straight through. The Spiced Pear cocktail was a wonderful way to start our Coalshed adventure. Thankfully it was Sunday so we opted for the roast but there was so much in the menu we wanted to try! The roast was sublime - and just enough to fill us but not podge us. Obviously we had to have dessert - we chose the selection plate which then podged us delightfully. Thank you to the whole team - you guys worked so well together to give us a proper treat!

I booked the coal shed in Brighton via phone about four weeks ago for last night. When booking the table I explained that we would have a buggy with us and the lady on the phone said the last table was perfect for that fact. She found all my details online and we left it there and looked forward to coming over to Brighton for the meal. We had come over especially for the meal with our little daughter and booked a table for 18:30. I called before our booking to see if we could bring our reservation to a slightly earlier time, called and the land on the phone said there was no booking under my name. A £100 birthday voucher was in my pocket so as you can imagine I was rather annoyed. They said on the phone we can fit you on a table in the bar area so we walked up and had a look. When we got there the place was packed which is great and we decided that we would sit down and eat as Brighton was busy, we had the voucher and there was a gap for the buggy. Food was good, they provided us with a glass of bubbles on the house and reduced our bill slightly. In all honesty, it ruined the whole day, I’d looked forward to this all week, if not for longer. There was barely enough room for cutlery, plates and glasses and everything else just had to squeeze on, freezing cold air coming in from outside when the door was opened every minute. We would go again, and will be as we still have money on the voucher but it ruined the whole weekend.

Loved the Coal Shed ever since they opened at the original site on Boyce Street. First time eating in the new restaurant and they've lost none of the feel of the original but upped their game considerably. Still incredible steak cookery backed up with the same great service from the moment you walk in. But now the offering is broader and the premises bigger and bolder. If I had the money and didn't love cooking myself I'd eat here every day!

Can’t fault this place! Service was very good! Very attentive! Food was fantastic! And cocktails went down a treat! You won’t be disappointed.

Wonderful lunch at The Coal Shed. Service, ambiance, and food were superb as always, thank you!

We booked the Longhorn private dining area for my wifes 40th birthday at the end of January and what a fantastic overall experience! Mimi and Molly were so helpful with the booking/pre ordering process which made a huge difference. On the night, Claudio looked after us perfectly (which was no mean feat as there were 16 thirsty people there!). The food was amazing and worth every penny - we will absolutely be back! To sum it up: 10/10 , would recommend!

Absolutely superb service, atmosphere and food. The best restaurant and venue in Brighton by far.

I couldn't fault the Coal shed in Brighton. The staff were very friendly and very helpful, and there was a really good atmosphere in the restaurant. We had the Sunday roast, and it was very exceptional, tasty, hot and generous portions. We'll definitely visit again.

I go here every day. It is one of the most beautiful places I have visited. I also thank the staff for their excellent treatment. Thank you very much the Coal Shed Brighton🤍

Gorgeous aesthetic. Friendly staff. Delightful food.

Amazing steaks, and chicken! Everything done just right
