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?

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.

Posted by Lucy Grewcock on 2nd November 2017

Discovering local seafood at GB1 Brighton has so many great restaurants that its hotel-based establishments tend to slip under my radar. In fact, I hadn’t considered The Grand’s double AA Rosette restaurant, GB1, until I was invited to do a review last week. As it turns out, it seems I’ve been missing a trick. Entering…

Cocktail Masterclass, Merkaba Bar, Jubilee Street

Posted by Lucy Grewcock on 18th October 2017

Shake it, stir it, set it on fire! Last time I went to a cocktail class, I was wearing a pink wig and had to slurp a bubble-gum flavoured drink through a phallic pink straw. Thankfully, the experience at Merkaba couldn’t be more different. Visiting on a Thursday evening with three friends – Anna, Nick…

West Beach Bar & Kitchen, Brighton Seafront – Dinner Review

Posted by Lucy Grewcock on 11th September 2017

Sky Bar to seafront dining – a seamless experience “Every meal in Brighton should start like this,” I grinned to my partner Tommy as I sipped a glass of fizz and gazed down at the Lego-sized people on the beach below.

The Restaurant at Drakes, Kemptown – Dinner Review

Luckily for…
