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

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.

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

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

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

Small, 20 cover restaurant doing set and tasting menus – we did the latter. A lot to love – a passionate team (seriously) making food focused on local ingredients, and all the drink is British. Some deliciousness on the menu especially brined slow roasted carrot, and lamb with aubergine paste. Matching wines a bit hit and miss but matching juice (yes, juice) offered fascinating combinations. Final verdict though is that it’s just way too expensive for what it is – superior experiences to be had elsewhere for less; worth one go, but no more.

Verdict: Ok
