Tiny reviews of Brighton food and drink
Shack serving up “organic dirty burgers” under the Trafalgar Street Arches. Tricky this. Proprietor is lovely, and the burger I had was EXTREMELY tasty…but tiny for the money, which can be just under £10 for not much. Clearly made with love, but too expensive for what it is.
Verdict: Ok
Location: Trafalgar Street Arches
Fried chicken delivered, and have to say, very well done. The true test of fried chicken delivery is the chips. Hot? Or cold and soggy? Difficult to achieve. LFC, who in fairness are very close to my house, did very well. Nuggets, popcorn chicken, chips, garlic bread, all good.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 37 Ditchling Road
Thought I’d try a chicken shop delivery, and I have to say, well done! Excellent pizza cheesy garlic bread, great chicken strips, and most impressively, hot and fresh chips on delivery.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 5 Lewes Road
Another stop in our quest to find our favourite Indian takeaway. Spoiler alert, this isn’t it. While I thought my chicken korma and cheese naan were both top notch and cheap, my companion’s brinjal bhaji was apparently rather unappetising.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 5 Montefiore Road
Chinese/Asian takeaway with a really broad menu. Had a delicious kung po chicken, with prawn toast – huge amount of this, and excellent.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 106 Edward Street
Initially: Standard chippy, but just ok; chips a little dry. Superior options available.
Revised: I don’t know if they changed ownership or what, but the guy is a total legend and I think the crispy crunchy fish is probably the second best I’ve ever had.
Verdict: Awesome

Japanese place near Brighton station; had delivery. Wanted to like these guys more; udon noodles good, katsu curry just ok really. They do sushi too.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 55 Queens Road
Have been trying to find our pizza delivery place of choice and short version: this is it. Great margherita and “Louisiana” which is a meaty one, PLUS major points for quality cheesy garlic pizza bread. We had delivery but the actual cafe is nice too.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 77 Trafalgar Street
Dedicated place doing fries in a cone with an array of sauces. Funky little frontage with wooden shelves with holes for your fry cones, and really nice guys. Fries on their own would be superb, but they have all sorts of sauces and will give you loads to try. Garlic mayo, curry ketchup, sweet onion…look, it’s amazing.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 46 West Street
Great Indian takeaway, fast, delicious and cheap. My new go-to Indian I think!
