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.

    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.

    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.

    There is loads to like about Kindling. Great food, smiling staff and good cocktails but if it is a cold night avoid a table near the door as the cold air rushes in every time someone asks for a last minute table or enters to sit down. Given how successful it seems to be I would start looking for a bigger and better value then it should be 5 stars all the way! Good luck!
