My ‘Eat Out To Help Out’ Challenge: Brighton & Hove + Which venues are carrying on in September

What a great person I am — I should get a knighthood.

I’ll add to this list every Friday with my recommendations for venues in Brighton and Hove that are registered for the ‘Eat Out To Help Out’ scheme, and I’ll give my thoughts on each after the visit.

If you don’t know already Eat Out To Help Out is a government-backed scheme that helps support the hospitality sector in the UK. Any restaurant, pub, or café can sign up, and you (as the customer) will get 50% off your bill up to the value of £10 per person.

For me, it’s the perfect system for lunchtime, as it’ll get me out of my home office and into the world during the daytime. I can experience some amazing venues at half the price (unless I go mad and order enough for a family — very tempting).

Each week, I’m going to try:

• One street food business 🍔

• One restaurant with a healthy vibe 🥗

• One fine dining establishment 🦞️

For too long, I’ve been cooped up cooking my own samey (but delicious) lunches. Now’s the time to see what these guys have to offer, all while keeping within the rules and guidance of the government, of course.

If you have a restaurant in Brighton and Hove that’s part of the ‘Eat Out To Help Out’ scheme that I should visit, follow me on Instagram and drop us a message, or email info@trapezemedia.co.uk

Shortlist for following weeks:

Found Cafe

I love it here. A beautiful café with incredible food. The chef Mark cooks up as good a meal (and an even better dessert) as you’ll get in most fancy restaurants, honestly. Plus, Fiona’s style and design makes this cafe truly one-of-a-kind.

Hixon Green

Constantinople

I’ve eaten from here recently and LOVED it, so can’t pass up the opportunity to eat in the restaurant rather than collection for home.

The Salt Room

Another I’ve been excited to try since moving back to the seaside.
