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.

    We had a fantastic meal. The only things I would have liked was for the waiter to explain the food when it arrived on the meat platter and To offer us a tap water to our table. Decor and ambience were fab and food was amazing. Toilets very clean and the music was relaxing. We will be back.

    Having been here 8/9 times now, it quickly became my favourite place in Brighton for food! However today wasn’t great which I’m sad to say! The steak came out incorrect which mean this was being Re-done. I had the croquettes & Mac & Cheese to come out with the main, these were both more towards cold than even warm, also due to the steak being Re-done It meant I had to eat the snacks quick other wise they would of been really cold by the time I got my steak. Other than that the Sauce was great and the steak tasted fantastic, was extremely fatty but this can’t be helped sometimes! See you soon!

    The food itself was lovely however unfortunately some bits had been forgotten, we had finished the meal before the side arrived at the table. Almost charged for the table next to us as there was some kind of confusion. Overall a lovely restaurant but they do have hiccups.

    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.
