"This Kemptown hotel capitalises on its plum seafront location, only a 10-minute walk to the Royal Pavilion. Settle into a roll-top bath with a champagne flute in-hand for the best views over the Channel and the twinkling lights of Palace Pier. Looking to impress your partner?"

"Food for Friends is undoubtedly the holy grail of vegetarian restaurants in Brighton. The menu is influenced by flavours from Italy, Japan and the Middle East, and the majority of the veggie dishes can be adapted to being 100% vegan. Located in the iconic and trendy South lanes, Food for Friends is a great spot to visit after a stroll around Brighton’s best boutiques."

"This fancy upmarket spot is the perfect place to show vegan skeptics we aren’t all tie-dye wearing crusties. Feast on sensitively roasted veg and impeccably presented smoked tofu, in a refined setting with big windows to gawp at the tourists milling around outside. You should order: Satay tempeh skewers with tart mango, crunchy bean sprout and a vibrant herb salad."

"Food For Friends has been serving award-winning vegan food since 1981, so it’s safe to say they know what they are doing. The menu uses only the freshest vegetarian and vegan ingredients, local and organic where possible, with influences from around the globe. Their brunch menu items are innovative, exciting and always changing to keep you coming back."

"Set against the picturesque backdrop of Goodwood and the South Downs, the Earl of March is a country pub restaurant in the village of Lavant near Chichester, West Sussex. We serve freshly prepared seasonal food from local produce, a selection of local…"

"04/07/2021: Tried here yesterday for the first time, what a pleasant surprise!. Very friendly and helpful staff. I have trouble peeling my shellfish/taking it out of the shell, the restaurant were very obliging and done this for me which I found REALLY HELPFUL...."

"You just love to see it when satiating your appetite beachside. Brighton Shellfish and Oyster Bar isn’t a ‘bar’ in the sense of cocktails and blokes wearing loafers with no socks, but rather a beach shack doing lots of traditional British seaside treats that any seafood lover lusts after. All shellfish is laid out and visible in tubs and on ice, and the place feels as old school as it gets."

"Good for: Oysters, Cockles, Seafood Rolls, Eating on the Beach, Lunch. Okay, maybe this one is a bit cheeky as it’s not a ‘restaurant’ per se, but it’s definitely worth a mention for those who enjoy the finer things in life. For at this unassuming little hut you can get half a dozen Carlingford Oysters for just £6.50."

"With perhaps the finest selection of vegan ice cream options in the city, Boho Gelato finishes our list in style, putting the final flake in our five scoops. Ten years of serving Brighton fantastic ice cream hasn’t dented their enthusiasm; Boho now have four outposts, two in Brighton, one in Weymouth and one in Worthing. For those who are lactose intolerant or on a plant based diet, be sure to check out their strawberry, basil and black pepper number, just lush, or the cookies and cream (containing no cream!) for an indulgent, totally vegan experience."

"Boho Gelato is an independent producer of artisan Italian style ice cream and sorbet - including vegan gelato. Gelatiere Seb Cole and his team quality ingredients from around the world to create their ever changing line up from over 500 flavours."

"If you are out on your daily walk, then stop by the Oui Creperie truck located at Hove Park for delicious Crepes and Galettes. They have 2 specials available just for Pancake Day so don’t miss out!"

"The Royal Pavilion is the city’s must-see attraction. The glittering party pad and palace of Prince George, later Prince Regent and then King George IV, it’s one of the most opulent buildings in England, and certainly the finest example of early 19th-century chinoiserie anywhere in Europe. It’s an apt symbol of Brighton’s reputation for decadence. An unimpressed Queen Victoria called the Royal Pavilion ‘a strange, odd Chinese place’, but for visitors to Brighton it’s an unmissable chunk of Sussex history."

"One of the symbols of Brighton, this flamboyantly iconic royal building is actually great for visiting with kids. You can buy a kids’ trail for a small fee (50p when we visited) spotting some of the animals dotted throughout the opulent rooms, or just amuse yourself finding all the dragons at the Royal Pavilion. And staff will actively encourage you to have a lie down on the carpet in the music room to see the chandelier rising to the gold patterned ceiling."

"Preston Park is easily one of the biggest and most famous parks in Brighton, complete with 8 tennis courts, 2 basketball courts, 4 football pitches and a great children’s playground. It even has a softball pitch and a cycle velodrome!. But perhaps one of the biggest appeals to Preston park is something located right next door, the Rockery."

"In amongst this picturesque park, you’ll find the tranquil rockery which will bring an air of calm to your busy weekend in this non-stop city. Relaxing, beautiful and a surefire Insta winner, it’s well worth a little visit. @acreswildgardendesign"
