Chimney House
The Chimney House Brighton is situated in the heart of Prestonville just North of Seven dials. A bustling trendy part of town that is dotted with independent coffee shops and small eateries. It boasts a short walking distance from Brighton train station, the seaside and one of Brighton’s most weird/wonderful treasures, The Booth Museum where you will find vintage taxidermy from around the globe.
Great for the family
Formerly the Marquess of Exeter, The Chimney House Brighton serves outstanding food, a great selection of quality drinks. It is well known for being welcoming and inclusive, making it a popular spot to unwind with all the family, and that includes the four-legged kind.
A little bit quirky
With its artsy vibe and rustic meets retro interiors, The Chimney House is unpretentious and has the homely aesthetics of a country estate. Think antler chandeliers, retro pendant lamps, rustic furniture and you’ll be on your way there.
Local partnerships
Not only does The Chimney House serve up mouthwateringly delicious grub from their open kitchen, but they also source the finest local ingredients from Sussex farmers, growers and foragers. We applaud Charlie, the proprietor and head chef for achieving his goal of combining his knowledge and passion for foraged produce and introducing it to his menus in an affordable way.
Minimal Waste
The Chimney House have committed to providing their customers with the best seasonal products. They do a lot of in-house production. They use artisan techniques to bake bread, pickle, smoke and butcher. This approach means they can ensure consistent top quality products and minimise waste.
Simple and beautiful dishes

Had an epic festive dinner here with friends just before Christmas. It was perfect – seasonal produce, great wine choices and a lovely relaxed atmosphere. It’s the ultimate gastro-pub in my opinion.
The Chimney House is my new local and I’m so pleased it is! The staff are always friendly & welcoming, and I just had my first roast there last week, it was superb! I’ll definitely go back for the vegan roast or try something on the dinner menu.
Excellent food for a neighbourhood pub and worth the trip to get there. Such a different menu with emphasis on foraged ingredients, everything locally sourced – and we really do mean locally sourced. Expect plenty of ingredients on your plate that you may not have come across in the past from elderflowers, moss – so all in all the Chimney House has quite a unique place in the pub food market/ Keep up the good work Charlie and team!
