About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Neighborhood gem

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.

Lovely dining experience at this restaurant. The ambience and restaurant design was aesthetically pleasing as well as quiet. The staff were lovely and helped to provide extra information regarding the types to steaks and side recommendations. I would 100% come here again!

I had emailed them before to ask for a non alcoholic bottle of sparkling wine for the table as it was our first year wedding anniversary as i didn't hear back I wrongly assumed this was all good. We got there and nothing . Turns out they didn't have it which was fine but i wished they had emailed me to let me know . We arrived at 7 pm and got a choice of 2 tables right by the front door which had to be left open all evening. Steak was nothing special mine was tough then we had desserts and the mousse wasn't set and the sticky toffee sauce hadn't had to sugar cooked properly so all in all wouldn't return

Dear Lisa, thank you for taking the time to write us a review. My personal apologies about the alcohol free bottle. We usually check Open Table messages quite frequently in order to accommodate pur guests request or let them know that we cannot. We missed yours and we are very sorry about that. Should you change your mind and visit us again I will make sure your experience will be up to our standard. All the best David P GM

First visit to Kindling. Great food. Friendly and attentive staff. Only annoying thing was the rowdy group of guys at a nearby table, whose conversation could be heard across the whole restaurant. As they were spending large, I guess the restaurant didn’t want to intervene. Apart from that, a perfect meal. I’ll be back.
