The 10 Best Brunch Spots In Brighton England

Packed with sports facilities, playgrounds, cafes, bars and restaurants, Brighton‘s seafront has everything you could expect from a seaside resort. Locals and tourists have, for many years, highly valued the long beach which remains vibrant and busy during the whole year. From old establishments to newly arrived modern spaces, the promenade hosts a number of excellent spots for brunch lovers. Below is a list of some of the best late breakfast spots in this popular seaside town.

1. Coach House

Coach House

In the heart of Brighton’s narrow lanes, the Coach House is one of Brighton’s hidden secrets. The interior is warm and cosy, due to the fireplace, and the exterior appears to be very green with a fresh and organic appearance due to the garden and courtyard. Brunch at Coach House is a full British experience with a platter of bacon, sausages, egg, tomatoes, beans, and mushrooms all served with toasted bread and fresh tea. Vegetarian customers have also been taken into consideration with delicious ratatouille available on the menu.
