Restaurant · Brighton
A small Brighton wine bar where the cooking punches well above its size — expect food made from scratch, natural wines by the glass, and a warm, low-lit room that feels cosy rather than cramped. Buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu are all here, and there's outdoor seating if you'd rather not wedge a pram between tables. The team is the real draw for families: one couple dining with a young son found them genuinely welcoming, and staff will happily steer you on how much to order. The mackerel and the pork chop get the loudest praise, along with beef tartare, whipped cod roe with bread, and the sea bass. Worth knowing: it's small and fills up, so book; the set menu divides opinion; and you will spend money here.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
