[Food] Eating outside in Brighton and Hove

blue-shifted · Apr 6, 2021

Where do you think is going to be a good bet for some (relatively) covid secure meals out in the city this spring?

Are there going to be any “pop up” outside eateries do you think?
Could there be road closures, for example, Preston St or East St to allow more outside dining?
Out of the existing options where do you think would work best with the current regulations and would be safest?
Do you see most pubs and restaurants reopening with distancing, or do you think many will stay closed due to the difficulty in making profit?
Do you think some will have closed for good?

If the weather doesn’t change I suggest you’d have to be a Northerner to eat outside :lolol:

Happy to hang on a while, i'm thinking more over May and June.

It makes sense to me that existing restaurants try to make more provision outside.

In particular, it would make sense to work with the council for places like Preston St, to get the roads closed by 6pm and all day weekends to have some outside tables. (clearly a high power pressure washer and a few fairy lights would probably be needed before punters came in).

Just wondered if anyone knows of any plans in this regard? Or had any opinions whether this sort of thing should be happening?

You could always ride, train, run, cycle or scoot out to Kenny Tutt's mobile eatery in Ferring and then eat your meal 200 yards away down on the beach near the Blue Bird cafe.

Great idea...but they'd have to get quite imaginative to sort out the problems with the massive slope!

Think I'd be more worried about the Seagulls than the cars!

Can’t say I’ve ever been to Ferring , but the bluebird cafe in Chelsea ( Kings rd ) is lovely with a great outside terrace too ..

Pubs & restaurant meals - I'll wait until the self fulfilling stampede's over.

In a couple of months time, businesses will still be very keen to gain our custom.

I’ve just booked the Crab Shack in Worthing for 1st May. They have a canopy covered outside terrace and the booking website also mentioned they have a place at the Shelter Halls.

With the exceptionally cold spring forecast, folk should cancel their meals out and instead spend loads on plumbers/heating engineers.

I think they are, I can’t see myself going to a cafe when they open up again. :wink:

What with the daily trip to the merchants and all.

I used to live very close to that cafe, and I was a regular visitor.

We need a Selco Builders merchants in Newhaven, when I went to Charlton away a few years back I went in there before the match as they had a decent cafe.
A cafe in a builders merchants.....whoever thought of this idea? :clap2:

Over the years I used Mac’s occasionally, nice bacon or sausage sarnies.
