The best restaurants serving British food in Brighton and Hove South East

I ordered a cake for my sister’s baby shower from here as well as 6 vegan cupcakes. Zoe absolutely nailed the brief and the cake looked spectacular and everybody thoroughly enjoyed it and commented just how good it was to look at and eat. I wouldn’t bother to go anywhere else for a cake for a special occasion. Thanks so much! ❤️🍒

The food and drink was heaven. Lots of the best greens - pistachio, avocados and matcha! 🍵 I would be here all the time if I lived local. The staff were fantastic and the atmosphere was so calm and friendly. Dogs welcome 🤗

We were staying at the white horses hotel across the road but decided to pick up a takeaway breakfast so we could sit down by the beach. We went back for lunch and the cake and then breakfast the next day too!! The food is unreal!! The nicest breakfast I’ve ever had. The coffee is fantastic. And the cakes I will dream about……

The chips were the saving grace. I’m not vegan but am forced to eat this way and don’t get me wrong I love vegan food… however… I ordered the smoked tofish and it’s put me off food today. The smoked flavour was there but that’s it. The fish is more like soggy bread. I’ve had vegan fish fingers before which had a flakey feeling and fish taste but this today was disappointing. I will say the chips are some of the best I’ve had in Brighton. Also mine had a lemon but my partners didn’t. Needs more care too!

We stayed for one day. Bathroom floor was sticky, mattress was broken. No idea how this is even classified as a 5 star hotel

Honestly, one of the best dinners we had in Brighton! Food was 10/10 (we both had the steak, which was perfectly cooked + sides, starters and dessert). The service was excellent, always careful and responsive, but not intrusive at all. Plus: it was my boyfriend’s birthday and they made him a very cute plate with birthday wishes. Super cozy atmosphere! Couldn’t recommend more!

Nothing special , average kebabs served on cold plates.

Genuinely shocked by how delicious the food was. I walk past this place all the time and always notice how busy it is. I finally tried it the other day and it exceeded all expectations - it was so good and I’d 100% go again! Nice options for vegans!!

2nd bedt cinema in Brighton, Dukes still wins out.

Small and cosy, this is a great cafe with a real feel of a local place, catering to the community. They offer simple, fresh food with good-sized portions. My full breakfast was plentiful. They are dog friendly,too. Dexter received a plate of biscuits and a bowl of fresh water just for him . A truly local cafe, where everybody is welcome.

Absolutely fabulous Sunday roast. Great attention to details and drinks

Proper little Brighton British pub 🍻✨😁

En primer lugar, The Brighton ES UN PUB no un restaurante y NO sirve comida. Dicho esto, los clientes son bienvenidos a traer comida - hay una excelente tienda de pescado y patatas fritas cerca. Hay una buena mezcla de personas, incluyendo residentes locales, turistas, personas esperando un tren o bajando de la estación de tren. El estado de ánimo del pub cambia según el día y la hora - un gran lugar para una pinta tranquila, reunirse con amigos y participar en concursos de pub o escuchar música en vivo, dependiendo del día. Soy un 'habitual' en el pub y lo hice mi local hace 20 años y nunca he mirado atrás. El personal es muy amable y amable. Los recién llegados siempre son bienvenidos, así como los miembros de la comunidad LGBTQ. Si eres nuevo en Brighton, siempre hay alguien alrededor para ayudar con las direcciones y consejos sobre lugares para alojarse y comer. El propietario se enorgullece de la limpieza del pub. El pub admite perros. Sirve cerveza local, Harvey's.

I’ve been craving some fried bread for a while. After visiting this place I will not be touching anymore fried bread, or full English in general, with a barge pole for a while. Belchers satisfied the craving so much that I had to do a couple laps up and down Brighton pier to bring myself back to life. Has a man ever jumped to his death into the freezing ocean from a fry up overload… probably not but it was close to being a world first. The atmosphere cultivated is exactly what you want from any proper cafe. A warming welcome from a sweet lady which feels like she’s essentially welcomed you into her living room contrasted by some of the most bleak looking geezers you’ve ever laid eyes on solemnly chowing down on an extra portion of beige. The stain glass full English in the window was beautiful and lures you in for a colourful culinary experience. The reality is your in for every shade of brown in the working man’s rainbow. And your reward you’ll find at the end is big pot of regret. Don’t get me wrong this is a positive review. It’s the real full English experience. It’s like I was in Layer Cake and was about to watch Morty take a kettle to the face. One bloke came into the cafe and the dialogue was as such (names replaced): Geezer 1: alright carol how’s it going? Carol: alright Steve, just the usual today? Geezer 1: just a cuppa tea carol Carol: so no food today? Geezer 1: nah a full English as well of course (insert look of surprise and disgust at carols suggestion) Notes on ordering etiquette: swapping of items is tolerated BUT not the tomatoes which in hindsight is fare. I respect da rulez from Carol. Carol knows about breafastnomics and she doesn’t hold back on teaching you. Ordering tip: an additional half size portion of bubble n squeak between two people is definitely enough food. You don’t want to find yourself staring into the abyss off the end of the pier. Only criticisms would be: - sausage was laid end-to-end (see picture)… savage behaviour - the egg touching the beans could be considered negligence - I can confirm the bacon was not cooked on a radiator Ongoing debate: is it acceptable to serve fried bread alongside untoasted buttered bread? Someone has since told me you should make a friend bread sandwich (normal bread outside, fried bread in the middle)… i will be returning to conquer such a feat

Fresh food & great service!!!!!
