Best for Outdoor dining - Expert review of Due South
This is easily the best place to eat on Brighton beach, especially on a sunny day.
Ever since it opened in 2003, this laidback little restaurant has been flying the flag for Sussex - it makes a point of sourcing top-quality wild, organic and free-range ingredients from within a 35-mile radius. The other reason I like it is that it’s right on the beach.
Food and drink:
The people at Due South are particularly good with fish but local pheasant and pigeon are also offered in season - the menu changes each month. Even the wine list is air mile-conscious, with several Sussex wines to choose from and nothing from further afield than Italy or Hungary.
Ambience:
Due South is a simple, whitewashed space with a lovely view of the beach from the upstairs window and a few tables outside.
Service:
It's professional and efficient.
Location:
It’s under the seafront promenade, in one of the arches which used to be fishermen’s stores, close to Brighton Pier.
Price advice:
With most main courses hovering around the £17-£18.50 mark, it’s more expensive than it looks.
Tables to book:
It’s well worth booking ahead for a chance to sit in the window.
