Hash breakfast looks great... But was way too sweet and quite small... The block beans may be the problem And only semi skimmed milk available for coffee. Lovely place and staff though...!

Wow! The garden area has been transformed into a vibrant and cosy little garden oasis. Just what Brighton needs over the colder months. The staff were extremely friendly, the food was exquisite and the cocktails were something else. If you like a bloody Mary, try their Canadian twist and I can assure you that you won't be disappointed! I'm already looking forward to my next visit

Well ... If I’d just come here for drinks I would have given it 5 stars. Great patio and atmosphere. The positive part of my review ends here. My friends and I made the mistake of ordering dinner. We got the taco platter for two. I have to say that they were the WORST and most HIGHLY priced tacos I’ve ever had! 30 for 6 small tacos and two tiny bowls of condiments. That’s 5 each! The tortillas were dry, crumbled and fell apart the moment you folded them to eat. Additionally, the filling was not great, small in quantity and 2 of the 6 tacos were simply filled with cubes of seasoned sweet potatoes! Given the exorbitant price, we were expecting much better. If the price had been reasonable I would have simply chalked it down as a mediocre meal and said nothing. However, the amount we paid made staying silent too much of a bitter pill to swallow ! To sum it up, we were horrified by what we were served and it was even a topic of conversation the following day! I know that businesses have struggled through lock-down and I want to support them anyway I can. However, we felt ripped off (mainly due to what we got for the price) and would never recommend this place for food. Quite the opposite. Don’t do it! That said, if all you want to do is drink, the back patio and alcohol selection is great! (In response to the owners comment: I did not include the two small sides/condiments when calculating the price since most places include such items with their tacos free of charge. I simply divided 30 by 6, which makes it 5 per taco. At the very most, the platter should not have been more than 20, given the quality and size of the tacos. The ingredients that went into the meal prob cost no more than 3 at the local store. However, like I said in my review, the place is a great place for ambiance and a few drinks.)

I loved this place! Like a magnet we were sucked in. This is on point with London places. Brighton are a few years behind the capital and I think this is as close as you’ll get to the London scene. Really nice beer garden with DJ playing. Ordered some sharing plates, wow. Literally perfect. The ox croquets were unparalleled to anything else consumed that day, and that was a lot!

5 OUT OF 5 STARS! Great quality menu, well stocked bar and brilliant atmosphere. Lovely heated, and marquee covered secret garden with great service. We had tacos and wine, great stuff! A real treat in our new favourite place! :-)
