The Ivy in The Lanes is Brighton’s newest and flashiest-looking restaurant, located on Ship Street within the old Post Office building. It launched on the 2nd May and boy did it arrived with a bang!
Going out for breakfast/brunch is now as popular, if not more, as going out for dinner and I think that has a lot to do with price. Whereas a good quality breakfast out, will typically cost £20-£30 – dinner can be upwards of £60.
Horsham isn’t somewhere I frequent regularly but there is a special restaurant in the area that’s been on my radar for a while, The Pass at the South Lodge Hotel.
Nestled in the King’s Road Arches alongside the i360 you will find Murmur, the latest venture from Brighton chef and founder of 64 Degrees, Michael Bremner. The name is inspired by a murmuration, or the shape made when thousands of starlings flock together in flight – a spectacle that’s often seen between the two piers the restaurant looks out on.
According to The Lost Pubs Project, there are 34,255 pubs still in existence in England today, but four close every day of the week. One gem that has thankfully been saved is The Half Moon in Kirdford – a little village out Chichester way and a 45-minute drive from Brighton.
I used to travel up from Brighton to London regularly and when I did, one thing stood out like a sore thumb… the pace of life. I would feel the change as soon as my brogues landed on the platform, everyone in a hurry to get somewhere and often, brashly, crisscrossing past you, leaving you dazed and confused.
At the bottom of St James’s St, there’s a treat for those that enjoy the finer things in life – a lavish restaurant that goes by the name of Pike & Pine… but only by night. By day it takes on another guise, Redroaster – a speciality coffee house and café.
I probably wouldn’t have ever gone back to the i360 restaurant based on my first experience but after several emails from the team prompting me, my curiosity finally got the better of me.
It’s a year since Isaac At went from a popup to permanent restaurant and to celebrate the milestone I was invited to try the restaurant’s new South Coast Tasting Menu.
One month after opening I take a visit to Brighton’s newest fine dining restaurant – Pascere, to review whether it lives up to the hype.
