Kindling Restaurant

"There’s one word that comes to mind when we think of Kindling, and that is ‘delightful’. This place is an excellent shout if you’re looking for somewhere to have a fancy lunch, a foliage-filled Brighton date, or to eat a Saddlescombe mutton burger that will have you cursing every sad Big Mac you’ve allowed to touch your brioche-loving lips. It's a light and airy modern European small plates restaurant near the seafront run by an ex- chef, and as you might expect with this kind of heritage, it's all about quality produce. Though the menu changes regularly, you can expect dishes like smoked tomato salad, exceptional seafood, and tarted-up vegetables complete with crispy chickpeas. See, delightful.

"There’s one word that comes to mind when we think of Kindling, and that is ‘delightful’. It’s a light and airy modern European small plates restaurant near the seafront run by an ex-St. John chef, and as you might predict with this kind of heritage, it’s all about quality produce. The menu changes daily, but you can expect dishes like smoked tomato salad, exceptional seafood, and tarted-up vegetables complete with crispy chickpeas. Come evening, you can only order the £80 tasting menu, but if you’re looking to kick it à la carte, Kindling is prime territory for a fancy lunch. It’s also excellent for a foliage-filled date involving sweet nothings over their signature homemade ketchup. See, delightful. " - Heidi Lauth Beasley

"The strapline of this understated modern restaurant is ‘food that is kind to the environment and good for the soul’, and their focus is firmly on using local suppliers and minimising waste. A lovely freshness runs throughout the assured, detailed dishes, which arrive with eye-catching presentation. The charcoal grill is at the heart of things and used to great effect across both the lunchtime small plates and evening tasting menus." - Michelin Inspector
