The Crazy Goose

The Crazy Goose Brighton – Small Plates Restaurant

The Black Rock’s golden touch has struck again in Brighton with The Crazy Goose – a Brighton small plates restaurant for fire-cooked food, rotisserie dishes and cocktails. The Crazy Goose has made its nest at 8 Boyce Street – in the building once known as The Coal Shed – and what a transformation.

The restaurant is stylish and welcoming and a lively, come-as-you-are energy. Upstairs, a beautiful blue dining room offers something a little more intimate. This is a space run by people who really understand hospitality. Attentive but never intrusive, you can expect to be well looked after from the moment you arrive.     

Bold and Beautiful

The menu brings bold flavours with sharing at the heart. The food centres around the grill, with charcoal-skewered meats, spit-roasted Crazy Chicken carved at the table and a selection of small plates with plenty of char and smoke. Fill your table with sticky lamb ribs, wood fired halloumi, tiger prawns and chicken sambousek, complimented with sides such as bbq courgettes, baked sweet potato and so much more enticing dishes and sauces. The skewers are equally tempting – amba chicken thigh, spiced octopus, harissa oyster mushrooms.

It’s the kind of restaurant that works equally well for a long lunch or a late-night meal, particularly if you’re in the mood to order a few things for the table. The Crazy Goose Experience Menu gives you a brilliant introduction to the hero dishes – a great start in discovering your favourites.

Cocktails and More

The cocktail list at The Crazy Goose is worth coming for alone. Playful, classic, inventive and frankly just great. Highballs, Paloma Springs, incredible martinis, the spritz and more complement the food menu. The frozen cocktails have been meticulously trialled and taste tested and served fro slushie machines are fun and fresh.

If cocktails aren’t for you, the drinks menu will not disappoint – from Crazy Goose IPA, excellent coffees, soft drinks, spirits and a very well stocked wine cellar will keep all diners happy.

With a late licence at weekends, The Crazy Goose is also one of the few spots on Boyce Street where the night doesn’t end after dinner. For a relaxed, grown-up drink later on, it’s a very good place to land.
