About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
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.

Our menu is simple but spot-on. It features grass-fed British beef and delicious cocktails, wines, and beers that perfectly complement your meal. On Sundays we serve our Sharing Roast for two alongside our regular menu.

    We had the mid week sharing platter…all I can say is AMAZING!! We also had the croquettes to start and chocolate molten cake and apple tart Tatum to finish, all washed down with a bottle of Rose and an espresso martini to finish. Everything was perfect, the food, the service, the ambiance. Cannot recommend enough! ⭐
