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.

    We had such a lovely dinner here, from the first welcome to the goodbye and everything in-between was wonderful. Staff made my wannabe chef son very welcome and happily answered our annoying questions as we sat watching their skillful operation in the open kitchen which was great fun particularly watching our T bond steak cook over the coals. The steak and sides was lovely, particularly the spinach dish. We will be returning hopefully for a roast on our next mini break ! Thanks all. Highly recommended.
