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 and Mondays, we serve our Sharing Roast for two alongside our regular menu.

    Nice food. Staff seemed a bit stressed and weren't very friendly. I've worked in hospitality myself and always made a point of NOT clearing up and getting ready to leave whilst customers were still finishing their meals. We felt quite unwelcome by the time we left.

    Food was fabulous for Sunday lunch. However our waitress wasn’t so much. More staff straining needed. However - it wasn’t so terrible to detract from a really good Sunday lunch .

    The roast was quite amazing, great service and a good wine list. The Expresso Martinis were exceptionally good! We will be back soon.

    Really lovely staff, very professional and polite. O my down side was the service was slow. Not the fault of the waiting staff. Steak was delicious and we thought it was all very good value. Just needs to speed up a little bit!

    Went for a roast on Sunday. Food was exceptional - the beef was perfect. Only downside was that there wasn't enough! The portions felt a little lean for the £58 we paid. And get some draught beer in there asap!
