A little hidden-away on the edges of Kemptown, I had the best steak I’ve ever had in Brighton. All ingredients are locally sourced at Busby & Wilds - they even have a map on the wall informing where each ingredient is sourced from around Sussex and bordering counties. You can definitely tell from taste that the ingredients are fresh and high-quality. The steak was delicious and large and it was cooked perfectly. The chimichurri and side salad were perfect accoutrements and so were the chips. I was very impressed and thought it was good value. I’ve paid more for a lot worse steaks before. The restaurant has a nice ambience and it’s dog-friendly which was very helpful for us. Wine was nice too. Will be back to try the roasts.
B&W was recommended to us when we got chatting to some locals. We tracked it down one morning and checked the menu. A visit had and certainly not disappointed. We both had fish and chips. The chips were huge, home cut monsters, perfectly cooked and worth every bite. There appeared to be only one person serving as we got there shortly after they opened. We had dog in tow and welcomed in. We thought we would have to sit outside but no, dogs allowed inside. Order taken quickly and food arrived in record time. A big portion of fish (excuse the photo - it really was fish), lovely crispy batter, mushy peas and a tangy tartare sauce. A very friendly atmosphere. Seemed like lots of repeated customers dropping in for food and/or drinks while we were there. A very nice visit. We walked as we didn't notice any parking nearby on our recon in the morning, but worth the stroll.
We went for a Sunday roast (lamb). The food was excellent, friendly service and nice atmosphere. We'll be back!
Wonderful family running this quaint cafe! 💕 The chicken burger is amazing and they recommended beers to go with it as well! I would definitely recommend it to everyone going to Brighton. It is just a short walk away from the beach.
Beautiful little restaurant and bar amazing selection of beers best in the area all local beers I love beer

Being just over the road from daughter's new flat in Kemptown it seemed a good idea to try out this local eatery for a weekday evening meal. It proved to be a good choice for our party of 7 plus dogs. The menu is fairly limited, which I always take to be a good sign as freshness is the key. We were told that there was only one fish and chips left on arrival which my wife snaffled. This turned out to be an outstanding choice and she declared it to be the best fish and chips she'd ever had! Most of the rest of the family opted for burgers in various guises and all were wolfed down approvingly. The youngest, however, went for a steak - similar prices to our local gastropub near Lancaster, so expensive, but far from outrageous. He enjoyed it immensely.
Nobody wanted a starter, which disappointed me, as the starters looked much more tempting than the desserts. That said, everyone seemed to enjoy their sticky toffee puddings and brownies. I went for a cheeseboard which was perfectly fine, although I'd have preferred a nice sticky chutney than the beetroot it came with, and maybe a celery stick, too.
Its not the cheapest venue, but everything is cooked fresh to order and the ingredients are high quality. Service is relaxed and the beer well kept. Worth seeking out if you are in the area. Apparently their Sunday roasts are special so next time I'm in Brighton I'll have to make sure it's over a weekend.
Another great Sunday lunch at B&W. We all enjoyed our choices everything was delicious. The staff were really friendly and attentive. Brilliant selection of bottled ales and the desserts were to die for! Thank you.
What a wonderful place to eat. Food was absolutely scrumptious, the roast lamb just melted in your mouth, roast potatoes were lovely and crispy, veg perfect, condiments superb, loved the 🍨. Would definitely go back again next we're in Brighton.
I've been there a couple of times and always had fantastic experiences,both in food and treatment, especially when the owner is there.
Having said that, some friends and I had dinner on Saturday night and the FoH staff was different, maybe new, there were two girls who clearly needed more training.
We tried several times to get their attention to order, failing to do so.
We had to wait good 20-25 minutes to get our mains (4 burgers). They could have sent mains away while the other were still on their starters because that's the only thing they were having.
Not a single check if the food was okay.
I always tip well but I hate the idea of having the service "forced" into my bill, specially when I feel the service tonight has not been brilliant at all. I've paid it though, for previous times and because the food was tasty.
Innocent and genuine recommendation: perhaps if you could, close the kitchen door to the restaurant because it gets smokey and my hair smells of chips now
Not our first visit by any means. My wife and a friend had between us a salad, the goujons, crab bisque, fish and chips and the burger. Included bottle of wine was a bonus! Most enjoyable!
Atmosphere disturbed by a dog constantly banging a bone on the floor, about which its inconsiderate, moronic owner did nothing in spite of ours and people on adjacent tables glares. And no, I don’t hate dogs, far from it, but restaurants are not the places for them.
