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.

Food and service excellent! The steak in particular was superb. Only disappointment was the cocktails, which were syrupy and clearly chucked together by someone that didn’t know what they were doing, which isn’t acceptable for the prices. Get a proper mixologist in or at least do some training and then would be faultless.

AMAZING! First time at Kindling & can't wait to return. Have also been spreading the word to friends & family. It was my partners birthday on a Wednesday & Kindling serve a platter of 2 steaks, lamb chops, 3 sides & 3 sauces for a bargain price of £59! We also had Jalapeno & beef brisket croquettes, delicious.. Wine & service were also fab!
