   We dined at Kindling for the fifth time on a Friday evening. I got the time of our booking wrong and we were late, but we were greeted with wonderful courtesy and looked after. We sat at the counter - always the best - and while we were choosing food one of the chefs offered us a complementary glass of cava as it was our fifth visit - impressive. The menu was intriguing and it was hard to choose as I wanted everything. As someone who doesn’t eat meat there were lots of dishes to choose from, but meat eaters were also catered on with what looked like an excellent local saddle of mutton dish. The wine was reasonably priced and excellent. One of our best Brighton meals.

   Love the way they take available local produce and create the menu each day - its the future of restaurants. Good cocktails, excellent starters (we had the scallops and roasted squash). Mains were a little disappointing mostly because the food was simply not hot enough - had the haddock and mutton, luke warm food on cold plates won’t do it. Desert was excellent.

   We had a lovely evening from the Amuse Bouche through to the fudge ending. Lovely to have wine decanted over flame again. Servers were very knowledgable of food and great to have specials offered as well as a broad, but short. Menu. I could have eaten anything on the menu. We will be back.

   Had an amazing birthday meal at Kindling. Every dish was incredible - well thought out with unique flavour combinations and presented so beautifully I almost felt guilty eating them. My partner usually hates sweet things but ate every crumb of the sheep cheese dessert which is an incredibly high compliment! All the staff were really friendly and attentive throughout too. We’ll definitely be returning soon.

   The more I go to Kindling the more I appreciate the effort that goes into making it an outstanding dining experience. In all my visits I don’t think I have seen the same dishes on the menu because everything is freshly sourced and the dishes vary accordingly. The excellent food is matched with excellent service.

    Absolutely love this restaurant. Hubby is a coeliac so the fact that he can eat everything on the menu is amazing. Every dish we had was delicious. And the rose wine was lovely. Loved the homemade soda bread and butter so much we bought some to eat at home! The waiter, James, was very engaging and friendly. Will definitely return.

    What a perfect place for a celebration. Staff were very courteous and looked after us well from the moment we walked through the door. Food was amazing, although a little pricy but well cooked and presented. We even had an amuse-bouche given prior to ordering our meal. Everything was gluten free much to the relief of one of our guests. Highly recommend and will certainly return

    We had two waiters - one of them was brilliant, really engaging and passionate about the food. The other was very nice and polite but a bit quiet and not as knowledgeable and lacked a bit of confidence which was a shame. The food we had was lovely, the hake starter special deserves a permanent place on the menu, it was sublime! The white chocolate fudge at the end was also to die for. I do think the restaurant needs a bit more about it - the bare tables made it feel a bit like a cafe rather than a fine dining venue and the suspended wooden frames are screaming out for greenery to be draped from them to create a bit more mood. It felt a bit like the restaurant was due to open next week and we were a bit early… All in all, very nice but there is room for a bit of improvement.

    Outstanding food and an even better experience. My girlfriend is coeliac and struggles to eat at most restaurants, however the staff on hand were extremely knowledgeable and guided us through the menu perfectly. The food is sourced locally, sustainably and crafted to make a seasonal menu that regularly changes with suppliers which we loved. We even had a surprise course which was unexpected and awesome. Will definitely be coming back here and bringing family and friends next time.

    Another lovely meal at this excellent restaurant. Professional, friendly and relaxed service. ‘Modern British’ high quality food with an emphasis on sustainability. Vegetarian and vegan options feature prominentlyI ate asparagus with beef, pork seasoned in pepper and salt with broad beans, puree of apple etc. and an almond and blackberry tart. All very good. Noisier than usual, but our neighbours were having a good time ….
