OKTOBER FEST

Restaurants with entertainment

Brighton Cookery School
Brighton Cookery School is an innovative and creative cookery school located in the very heart of Brighton.

They have a rich and exciting program of events that are tailored to seasonal produce and calendar big bangers.
Brunch out
Brunch culture is at its height in popularity, as a meal it sits between breakfast and lunch both in timing and style. More venues are now offering brunch as a celebratory type of dining – the bottomless brunch – where you can guzzle down prosecco and bloody Marys until your heart’s content.
While others maintain that it is a staple of a lazy weekend and might pair it with fresh coffee and people watching. Whichever is your flavour, you’ll not be short of choice. Here’s our pick of local cafes that boast a bounty of banging brunches, our top spots for plant-based brunches and the top 20 winners of the BRAVO best brunch 2020.
Let the feasting commence!
