At Kindling we believe that great steak should be for everyone. Located in the heart of Brighton, our restaurant offers a laid-back dining experience with great value, quality beef cooked over charcoal and live fire.
Our open kitchen lets you see all the action up close. Witness the skill and passion of our team as they cook your steak to perfection.

We focus on quality and value, creating a casual environment that makes everyone feel at home. Kindling is perfect for casual business lunches, family get-togethers and catch-ups with friends.

Our menu is simple but spot-on. It features grass-fed British beef and delicious cocktails, wines, and beers that perfectly complement your meal. On Sundays we serve our Sharing Roast for two alongside our regular menu.

    Was lovely little place. Lots of people have told me to go. I have been to many places in brighton for food. I placed my order and unfortunately they missed off my olives. I did not want to make a fuss. The main came we had the mid week sharing platter. The mushroom sauce was completely split so was not edible and the steak was a little over cooked. Still lovely but maybe just little tweaks and it would be great.

    Overall it was soooo good. The food was AMAZING. One of the best restaurants in Brighton. The pulled brisket sandwich was AMAZING as well as the steaks and the cabbage. The ambience is so nice but the food did take quite a while to come but to be fair it was so busy so that’s understable. But I would 100% recomend and will be going often.

    Hello Melanie and thanks for leaving us a review . Apologies if you waited a little bit too much but we are glad to read that the food was worth waiting. See you very soon then Team Kindling

    So delicious and innovative throughout. The steak was cooked to absolute perfection (Ribeye which I highly recommend), the sides were creative and tasty and the waiting staff were incredible and attentive. Extra thanks to Archie for cooking the amazing food and keeping us entertained at the bar whilst we ate. Definitely returning again… and again… and again.
