The House Restaurant

Run don’t walk to the house restaurant. a truly pleasant surprise after a long day. let’s start with the team running the house restaurant because they deserve their time: professional, knowledgeable, and just really nice, from the host to the waiters. when i said i didn’t want peas in my main course, i wasn’t met with immediate defensiveness but rather a “sure, let me make that note for you there may be some peas but i’ll leave a note.” this simple exchange made a big difference. now let’s get to the food. i ordered the house seafood bouillabaisse and had a taste of the risotto and the salt & pepper calamari. the seafood bouillabaisse was a delight. the stock and sauce was so rich but not heavy, and packed with flavor. a perfectly cooked fillet of fish sat on top of a small mountain of clams and squid. the potatoes were good but i would have preferred the delicious garlic bread had more space. eating this dish was fun! order this if you want something fresh, bright, but also comforting. portion good for 1-2 but i comfortably ate the entire thing myself (maybe a third main course to share?) the courgette risotto was excellent for those who want comforting and herby. i love that i was able to taste the courgette and that it didn’t get lost in the dish. my sister did say it was on the salty side. portion good for two! my husband loved his chicken supreme which he says was succulent and not dry as oven roasted chicken breast often is. this portion was good for one. a thank you to the house restaurant team who worked incredibly hard to serve their customers delicious meals in what i’m sure was one of the busiest weekends of the year. stay great. p.s. their presentation is beautiful but we took pix after we started eating bevause of how great the food was! p.s.s. we waited for 30-35 minutes for our food but honestly? worth it. some dishes are just worth waiting for.

Got the lunchtime specials - chargrilled 6oz minute steak & home made oven baked fish cake. the price was really good for the quantity and taste of the food. staff is nice and friendly. the restaurant has a nice vibe.

Hidden gem! tucked away in a little side street this restaurant is an amazing place to go with the family. we sat upstairs, were attended to very quickly and the staff are friendly. food was served quick. every dish on the table was a wow with the family. seafood was fresh and delicate. chicken was soft and juicy throughout. steak was done just right although a little small for some.

I went to the house with my family (1 kid) and we enjoyed the food and the quiet in such a busy town like brighton. the staff are welcoming and helpful, the food is simply delicious (best fish and chips in the south of england).

Wow what a restaurant, i’m surprised it wasn’t full. we came here because we were specifically looking for a beef wellington. and we were not disappointed. thee beef wellington takes 30 mins to cook but it’s worth the wait, the portion size too is amazing. the house bouillabaisse was delicious , again massive portion size, with the most flavourful and unique garlic bread. it was almost like rye bread (but good rye bread!). the sea bass, once again massive! however all the taste was lovely and everything i wouldn’t order again. the amount of butter that it was swimming in was just a bit nauseating to eat, let alone difficult not to spill. it definitely did not require that amount of butter on my plate. you had to be there to see it but it was ridiculously lots to the point it was a joke. the surf n turf was perfect with the chunkiest of chips! i’m always a bit specific when choosing where to eat because i value interiors as much as food and the photos didn’t put much hope in me . but these photos are so inaccurate. the interior is divine. hence the name, it’s set up in an old house and we were sat downstairs for reference not sure what upstairs was like. but a beautiful restaurant, felt authentic. the service was great, all the servers were so friendly . kept us up to date on the wait for food. even the young woman at the end took the time to speak to us about our trip to brighton. you should definitely visit here!
