Tiny reviews of Brighton food and drink
Italian that came to my attention for hot stone steak which you cook at your table. That was actually pretty fun, although it really wanted some proper sauces instead of BBQ, mayo and mustard. But the food otherwise was pretty hit and miss; tasty pasta sauce, but tough calamari, flaming creme brulee but average zucchini fries. I was leaning a little more positively but then pricewise it’s way high for what it is!
Verdict: Don’t go
Location: 47 Ladies’ Mile Road
Delivery only place specialising in mac and cheese and hot dogs; I have zero interest in the latter but the former was pretty tasty. But very disappointed by garlic dough balls which were just dough with, like, melted garlic butter in a pot.
Verdict: Ok

Deliveroo’d this and struggled a bit with the verdict, because it’s quite different from your average Indian. More street food-y so hard to compare. Pakora and samosas lovely, curries hit and miss (amazing aubergine thing but mutter paneer pretty bland – but a bit of salt and you’re cooking with gas), naan bread light on flavour for something called garlic and coriander, but mixed poppadom bites pretty great. A few further points off for just a pretty small menu (for returning value) and expensive for Indian. But, ultimately, it was a really good meal.
Verdict: Aweomse
Location: 60 Ship Street
Deliveroo Editions doing burgers and dirty fries, all vegan. My feeling is that it delivers a good approximation of a crappy burger experience.
Verdict: Don’t go
Location: Unit 1 Saxon Works, Olive Road

As the name implies, kebab/general fried place on Deliveroo. Fast and reasonable, but food quality very standard frozen stuff.
Verdict: Ok

Chinese takeaway we’d heard good things about, but the food was pretty hit and miss.
Verdict: Don’t go
Location: 121 Church Road
Very fast, but not the best Thai.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 14 Blatchington Road
I totally enjoyed my burrito I got through Deliveroo, and the guacamole with the corn chips was super amazing handmade style. Just not as exciting as Carlito!
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 37 West Street
Bakery in Hove, nice street seating and comfy chairs inside. Had a bacon roll and avocado and feta toast, all really top notch!
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 1 The Drive
Combination coffee shop, gallery and workshop space. Lovely space, really friendly people. But I have to say: avoid the cooked food. They haven’t the space for it and basically microwaved some bacon and poached some eggs on an electric hob for breakfast, and there’s many better places. But for coffee and cake, great choice.
Verdict: Ok
