Tiny reviews of Brighton food and drink
Korean fried chicken, one of the Deliveroo “Editions” outfits where they’re set up for Deliveroo only – seems they’re regularly in Paris and Madrid. Quality chicken for sure, but ultimately uninspiring – even the spicy version was just ok. Maybe better piping hot in the restaurant, as delivery, just ok.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 1 Saxon Works
Greek place (obviously) that we had lockdown delivery from. We really enjoyed it and the meals are substantial – it is though a cuisine that doesn’t survive delivery the best, so looking forward to dining in sometime.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 57 London Road
Another perfectly serviceable coronavirus takeaway; more or less what you’d expect from a place called what it is. I enjoyed it, but wouldn’t have it ahead of other options, although the chicken bites were pretty ok!
Verdict: Ok
Location: 4a Montpelier Road
As the name implies, classic kebab takeaway that I had delivered. Some points off for lower quality chicken nuggets, but overall a winner as still hot when delivered plus had a cheese gozleme flatbread thing which was really great.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 4 Pool Valley

Perfectly serviceable burger/chicken takeaway outfit, but nothing more – average across the board, although it was hot!
Verdict: Ok
Location: 3 Islingword Road
Tried delivery from here during quarantine. They pitch their burgers as fancy and one day I’ll try one in the restaurant, but had takeaway chicken nuggets, chips and cheese bites and while the latter were great, the former were low quality product.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 8 East Street
Tried this pan-Asian noodle focused place during quarantine, and while it had good spring rolls, the Pad Thai was just average; won’t be in rotation for us.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 12a Queens Road
Stopped in for a drink, and it’s a surprisingly large, pleasant space. Food looked good too.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 36 Ship Street
Specialist steakhouse with lots of options for sauce, sides etc. Comfortable space with a family restaurant feel and nice people; we shared a platter with several different cuts and their “famous” onion loaf, which is delicious. Desserts too. But when I think back to the steak, I’m not excited.
Verdict: Ok
Location: London Road

Amazingly fun little place with 80s nostalgia everywhere – posters, toys, even Super Nintendos to play at your tables. I wanted to love it, but unfortunately the pie was just ok.
Verdict: Ok
