The Wardroom Restaurant – New
The Wardroom restaurant is the newly refurbished restaurant and bar situated within The Old Ship Hotel Brighton opening Monday 16th April. Taking it’s name for an officers’ mess onboard a warship, The Wardroom, previously called Steak on Sea, has a crisp new look and new creative menu inspired by modern British cuisine.
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 Menu
The new menu includes specialities such as wood pigeon, torched mackerel, Dukkha spiced halloumi and vegan kimchi. Many of the ingredients are locally sourced and the menu will evolve as the seasons come along.
The Mess Deck Bar
Priding itself on delicious wine and exotic cocktails, the bar at The Old Ship Hotel is the perfect spot for a little alfresco drinking in the summer time. The cocktail offering is nicely paired with the location, with a leaning to the fun side and a preference for fruity fresh flavours. Located right on the seafront the views are ideal for a sunny day, a cool long drink, and a bit of people watching.
Also served here is a smaller snack style menu for a lighter lunch outside in the sunshine. Although with a good selection of salads, bagels, burgers and sides you can easily build up enough to constitute a good meal without having to give up your prime seat.
