Being by the seaside and close to the countryside means there are ample opportunites for restaurants to use local, seasonal produce within their dishes.

Whether it's seafood caught fresh from the sea or vegetables from a Sussex farm, the majority of restaurants use local, seasonal ingredients. Also look out for local beverages such as English wine from Sussex vineyards or perhaps a spirit from a local distillery. There are also a wide variety of Sussex and Brighton based breweries creating craft beer and kombuchas.

It's not just about dining out as many of our shops sell local produce too. We have indoor and flea markets selling vintage goods and new pieces from local traders. Many of the boutiques and jewellers in The Lanes have workshops at the back of the stores where the products are produced on site. Alternatively you can learn to create your own tea, feasts or jewellery with one of the workshops & experiences available within Brighton & Hove and into Sussex.
