The Gingerman

Perfect meal at The Gingerman this weekend, with a varied, surprisingly reasonably priced (given the quality), Sunday lunch menu that delivered in every way. The skate wing was perfectly cooked, the roast beef was beautifully tender, and the starters were creative and boasted some really interesting flavour combinations. The service was superb too, friendly, knowledgable, and easygoing. Looking forward to trying their normal menu asap.

Delightful gem of a place in Brighton. Was recommended it by family and it didn’t disappoint. It’s a fairly small place (although can cater for groups) so would advise you book. Had bread to start with a delicious butter. Next round was fish tacos and salted cod fritters. Followed by sea bass for two and I also had some of the lamb. The seabass was perfectly cooked and plenty of it for two. Special shout outs to the complexity and depth of the sauce. The samphire complemented it all perfectly. The lamb looked great and was cooked well. Soft and tender. A soft chew. At one point I had a part with a bit of fat and I almost melted into my seat. So tasty and full of flavour. Service was polite and friendly. I would definitely go again

I had the best night at The Gingerman and now consider it one of the best dining experiences in Brighton. The food was to die for. Though not cheap (except a ridiculously good value prawn to start), it is well worth a visit on a special occasion. The staff and service and ambience created an unforgettable evening that will be difficult to replicate. To start I had snacks salmon tacos and a grilled prawn. Despite the salmon tacos being delicious, the prawn stole the show, being meaty and sweet, and for £3.50 with the seaweed Alioli, I cannot complain. For starters, the bbq squid was the best looking dish of the night, stunning, with perfectly cooked squid, a sauce maybe a touch too sweet, but interesting textures and bold flavours. For mains, the lamb saddle could’ve been cut with a butter knife, paired with some simple but lovely veg, a jus made from the belly and some majorly crispy 100-layer chips, and you’re on to a real winner. The puddings were also solid, and a great way to end a great meal!

Arguably the best food I’ve had in Brighton in such a lovely intimate little place. Sam, the front of house/manager/bartender was incredible, doing so much so effortlessly and made us feel so welcome and comfortable. Also, BYOB on Sundays with a corkage - no brainer! Will be back as many times as I possibly can, cheers!

Very expensive and quite intense the way bookings are all at the same time so, you feel you need to get your order in quick. Only stubby cans of locally made beer for £6 a pop.... Bathrooms were excellent. So the food was good - excellent. Menu wasn't explained enough but we worked it out. I think I would recommend it for quality food although, out bill was £170 for 2 without wine!

My wife and I dined at Gingerman Restaurant, one of our favorite spots over the past few years. This visit marked our fourth time there. While the waitress was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and kind—the overall food experience fell short. Specifically the main course, a steak meal, was underwhelming and lacked flavor. Considering we spent £180, we left feeling disappointed by the food.

Fantastic restaurant. Celebrated my 50th and didn’t disappoint. Great service, great food and nice place to eat. Would highly recommend. A firm favourite over the years of dining here.

For the second consecutive year, my wife and I have returned here for a celebration meal. The tasting menu and paired wines are excellent and a real exploration of flavours and textures. As with any tasting menu at a reputable establishment, it's not necessarily cheap, but in my mind, a worthy treat. Food, presentation, and service, all excellent! Well done guys 👏.
