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.

    Wonderful steak, great sides, lovely staff and best service and then probably the best proper baked cheesecake I’ve ever eaten. What could be better.

    We went to Kindling restaurant to celebrate our son’s 26th birthday. The staff were all friendly and courteous, service was good and the food was exceptional, possibly the best steak we have had. It’s not cheap but then again a good cut of steak isn’t cheap and although you have to pay extra for any side dishes, they were pretty good portion sizes. We will definitely return sometime in the future.

    Came here on a Sunday after hearing great things about the Roast and it surpassed all expectations, all of the starters were delicious and the roast was the best I’ve had, great portion sizes too. We couldn’t choose between the desserts so ordered them all and they were definitely worth it. Cocktails were delicious too, highly recommend the mango daiquiri. Will be returning and look forward to trying their other dishes
