The Coal Shed Brighton

My partner and I came here 3 nights ago to celebrate our 6th anniversary, and it ended up being one of the best meals we have ever had. Being huge lovers of steakhouse restaurants, we agreed this is definitely in our top 3!

We started out with the pork belly starters and shared the truffle arancini. The pork belly melted in the mouth, and the truffle arancini was just perfect! My partner is Italian, so she was extremely impressed with the truffle arancini.

I had the sirloin steak with triple cooked chips.... incredible! The steak was no chewy at all and was just delicious, to be honest. Triple cooked chips are my absolute favourite, and these ones were again... spot on!

They even brought out mini desserts for us to say happy anniversary. Very nice touch there.

Overall, we were very impressed with everything, and if we ever visited Brighton again, we would not hesitate to visit this restaurant again!

The food was amazing. The service was amazing. The atmosphere was amazing. This was great place to finish off our trip to Brighton. For anyone that loves steaks I would highly recommend checking this place out!! Also the onion rings and meringue pudding was delicious!

The food was superb. The service was attentive but not over bearing.
The only thing in my opinion is the decor is looking a bit tired. Example, the table tops have, in their current condition, seen better days. In my opinion there's a little too shabby in the shabby chic look.
However, I came to try your food and very glad I did. It really was excellent and all served with a smile by your friendly staff.

Four of us went to the Coal Shed for lunch last Sunday and we were all really pleased with our orders. We shared the arancini and sourdough (with amazing butter). Two of us shared the amazing Sunday roast - grilled steak with roast potatoes, carrots, cabbage, and cauliflower cheese. One of the nicest Sunday roasts I’ve ever seen and I liked that it was a massive perfectly grilled steak rather than standard roast beef. I had the burrata followed by the grilled cod. Excellent food and great service… do book in advance though. We managed to reserve the last available table and did see a couple of groups turned away at the door who tried their luck without a ressie.

Went here for our anniversary and every part of the experience was perfect! The food was cooked to perfection, the staff were so lovely and helpful from beginning to end and I really cannot recommend the steaks here enough. Will be returning some day simply due to the lovely service and great food. Solid recommendation if you're looking for steak in Brighton with a nice atmosphere that is isn't so sophisticated you feel awkward just being there, but classy enough you know you're in for a exceptional time.

Beautiful steak , stunning starter.. food was spot on. Fillet steak cooked to perfection. Only thing I would say is more range on soft drinks if people cannot drink booze. Maybe like sugar free soft drinks. Xx

What a fab evening in any possible way! The food was excellent, made with love, fine ingredients and nicely presented. The cocktails were delicious and a tasty surprise. The service was flawless and the upper room was very cosy and relaxed. It is definitely my favourite place to eat in Brighton.
