The Wardroom Restaurant
The Wardroom restaurant is the newly refurbished restaurant and bar situated within The Old Ship Hotel Brighton. Taking its name for an officers’ mess on board a warship, The Wardroom, previously called Steak on Sea, has a crisp new look and a new creative menu inspired by modern British cuisine. You can view a sample menu here.
European Influences
Captain of the ship, the new Head Chef Phil Mesquitta, who designed the menu for The Wardroom restaurant explains his concept:
“The menu is all about international flavours with influences from India, Jamaica, France and Korea, to name a few. I am lucky not to have to conform to any set cuisine demands and this will allow the menu to indulge the creativity of our chefs; in turn enabling them to evolve as Chef’s. It’s an exciting time for The Wardroom and the team.”
The new menu includes specialities such as lamb rump, grilled oyster mushrooms, and chalk stream trout. Many of the ingredients are locally sourced and the menu will evolve as the seasons come along.
