Hello Brighton!
Sometimes we get too stuck on the food and drink - what’s delicious, surprising, seasonal, fresh - and forget, just a little, about the importance of the welcome. For a venue to thrive, the hospitality must be genuine, and it must be felt. |

Take Furna, where Dave Mothersill pulls off the impossible - giving as much attention to his guests as he does to his extraordinary dishes. According to writer Rory Challands, it’s a straight-up masterclass. |
Or English’s - Brighton’s oldest and most famous restaurant - where regular diner Mr Wright has been welcomed for lunch every Wednesday at noon since 1965. Writer Steffan Meyric Hughes recalls his first, formative bite of Dover sole à la Meunière at the restaurant over dinner with his wife. |
The half-term holiday starts this Friday with another glorious long weekend! Fun times and warm welcomes can be found all weekend at Ohso Social, The Metropole Bar, and the Bank Holiday BBQ at Eight Bells, Jevington.
There's also the Hawaiian Summer Party at Bohemia, Curio’s 1st Birthday, Bank Holiday Sunday at Cin Cin (all on 25th May), and the Shellfish Boil at The Urchin (26th May)... and so much more! |
It’s the final weekend of the Brighton Fringe and Festival nearly done but there’s plenty still to see. Haven’t been to Boysterous Burgers yet? It’s £10 for a double burger and chips before the show. |
This week, I was struck by the power of great hospitality to bring people together. At the launch of Caccia & Tails gorgeous new home at Komedia, there were plenty of lovely familiar faces, but also surprising friends-of-friends and long-lost playground-parent-comrades. People were almost falling over each other to say hello.
Then, at a sunny lunch with Jude on The Terrace by Pearly Cow, I sat next to a chap I’d been at university with, who happens to know my bestie. Just one of those marvellous weeks.
Meanwhile, Emma had a gorgeously unusual experience learning about the art of beekeeping from the experts at Apiary.
Yours, feeling the love,
Hannah and Team RB
