The Station Hotel | Food Blog

Posted by Torsten Hojer on 6th October 2021

On Track for Deliciousness at The Station The Station Hotel, Pub and Kitchen stands majestically over Preston Park Station. It’s the one you see if you’re heading out of Brighton and wish you could stop off at for a spot of lunch or a cold pint. We can say that when you do, you’ll be…

Burnt Orange | Food Blog

Posted by Torsten Hojer on 26th August 2021

Burnt Orange: Indulgent grazing to get you fired up The evocatively named Burnt Orange burst onto the Brighton scene in June 2021 at just the right moment: lockdown was ending, summer was (sort of) simmering, and our appetite for quality, professionally cooked food was boiling over. Few restaurants attract as much anticipation; word of mouth…

Brunch at Small Batch Coffee

Posted by Torsten Hojer on 18th August 2021

Small Batch Goes Big Brunch Small Batch Coffee may be named so due to its roasting process (they do it in, erm, small batches to ensure freshness and precision) but it’s fast become something of a Big Batch in Brighton, with sites cropping up across the city. Success has been hard won, in a town…

Jazz Night at The Bronze | Brighton Food Blog

Posted by Torsten Hojer on 29th July 2021

Gold Medal Meals at The Bronze The Bronze recently took the plunge and put out to public submission what it should be called. Thankfully, amid the expected ‘Bar-y McBarface’ suggestions, The Bronze landed, pleasing Buffy fans (it was the show’s popular nightclub).

Dining at Amarillo | Food Blog

Posted by Torsten Hojer on 23rd July 2021

A Taste of Pure Excellence Tasting menus are a wonderful invention. They enable gluttonous grazing without piggishness and rear a raft of tastebud sensations in perfectly sized portions. And moreover, you get a sense of a chef’s showcase samplers. Amarillo’s Michelin Star-securing Ian Swainson’s reputation precedes him, and it’s clear he’s on a mission to…

‘A Million Miles from Ordinary’ – Experience at The Better Half

Posted by Torsten Hojer on 17th December 2020

A Million Miles from Ordinary – Experience at The Better Half The Better Half Pub is like a secret outbuilding of The Pavilion, in the sense that it envelopes you with splendour, opulence and warmth. The décor gleams with grandeur and the lighting is subdued, warm-fire-glow-perfect. You can barely see in from the outside and,…

Supper to Get Fired Up About – The Coal Shed

Posted by Torsten Hojer on 21st October 2020

Supper to Get Fired Up About If The Coal Shed was part of the zodiac it’d definitely be a fire sign, as hot coals cooking is at its core. Hidden from view in the engine room of this meat and fish destination is a Josper grill – a world-renowned, Spanish-designed legend of charcoal gastronomy that…

A Journey Into Spice: Planet India

Posted by Torsten Hojer on 7th October 2020

A Journey Into Spice: Planet India If you’ve passed by Planet India, nestled in a row of sixties yellow-brick flats on Richmond Parade, you’ll have probably noticed it. The bright pink exterior and odd-font gold signage screams of kitsch and shines from its somewhat drab surroundings. Planet India bills itself as ‘pure vegetarian, authentic, home-made…
