Rathfinny Tasting Room – Review

Posted by Lucy Grewcock on 29th November 2018

Fine-dining at Rathfinny Tasting Room The rise of English wine has been phenomenal in recent years, and we’re lucky to have some of Britain’s best vineyards right here in Sussex. While several offer ‘cellar door’ wine tastings, Rathfinny Estate has gone one step further with a new fine-dining restaurant, the Rathfinny Tasting Room. Last Friday,…

‘This is Sunday roast at its best’ – The Independent Pub Review

Posted by Lucy Grewcock on 8th October 2018

Step-up your Sunday Roast at the Independent Autumn is underway and, with the weekends getting darker and damper, we all need that little bit more incentive to get out and about. A lunch review at The Independent gave me the motivation I needed to brave the drizzle last Sunday. Walking from Hove to Hanover, I worked up an…

‘GungHo isn’t your average bar’ – GungHo Cocktail Review

Posted by Lucy Grewcock on 24th August 2018

Seasonal Sussex cocktails at Gungho GungHo bar isn’t your average bar. Specialising in seasonal cocktails, many of their ingredients are harvested from the owner’s allotment or foraged from the Sussex countryside. They also offer a great selection of craft beers, biodynamic wines and mocktails, as well as one-off seasonal creations like Elderflower ‘Sham’pagne. This sounded…

GB1 Restaurant at The Grand Hotel – Dinner Review

Posted by Lucy Grewcock on 11th August 2018

The weekend buzz at GB1 I discovered GB1 – The Grand hotel’s seafront restaurant – last year when I visited on a Thursday night. Impressed by the seafood-focused menu and relaxed ambience, I was delighted to be invited back for a Friday night, when the restaurant and adjacent bar have a real weekend buzz. The…

Savouring Sussex Tucked away in the North Laines, Issac At is an unassuming restaurant, which has been making waves since it opened in 2015. It’s owned by 24-year-old Isaac, who runs the kitchen with his team of young chefs. I’ve been hankering for an excuse to visit for a while, so I readily agreed to…

Cafe Malbec, Hove – Evening Review

Posted by Lucy Grewcock on 14th June 2018

Friends, football and new flavours at Café Malbec I’ve been intrigued by Café Malbec since it opened last year. I’d eaten at its sister restaurant (Latino America) before but, until now, had never ventured next door to this Argentinian wine bar. Specialising in South American wines and Argentine food, it offers everything from coffees and…

Kooks Bistro Brighton – Breakfast Review

Posted by Lucy Grewcock on 24th April 2018

The best way to do brunch in Brighton Going out for brunch always feels like a treat, but when’s the last time you did it properly? Forget standard bacon sarnies and builder’s tea – I’m talking eggs royale with smoked salmon, or a BLT with extra trimmings, plus coffee, cocktails and something sweet. Long, sociable…

Semolina, Baker Street, dinner review

Posted by Lucy Grewcock on 19th February 2018

More than ‘just’ a great restaurant I first heard about Semolina a couple of years back, when I noticed it topping the charts as one of Brighton’s best restaurants. Yet, somehow, almost two years passed and I still hadn’t been. Last Thursday, I finally made it. Located just off London Road, Semolina has been making…
