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 and Mondays, we serve our Sharing Roast for two alongside our regular menu.

Kindling is in danger of becoming my favourite restaurant in Brighton. Great menu, lovely food and great service - and not silly prices for it.

We dined on a Wednesday and the Meat Platter for 2 was available for £56 which was incredible value and plenty food for two on its own.

We had visited this restaurant before and thoroughly enjoyed it. However, this time it was very busy. It took a long time for our order to be taken and for it to arrive. Food was OK but definitely not worth £200 for 4 people.
