The Ginger Pig

The story

The Ginger Pig Brighton – Modern British & Seasonal Restaurant, Michelin Recommended

Restaurant & Bar

On Hove Street, a short walk from the beach, The Ginger Pig has earned a place among the UK’s top gastropubs — listed by GQ as one of the Top 10 Pubs in the UK — and now carries a Michelin Recommended distinction. It is a place where the philosophy is simple: serve traditional food sourced from Sussex’s finest suppliers, with menus that change regularly to reflect what is fresh and in season.

The kitchen’s Modern British cooking is grounded in seasonality. Whether you come for breakfast, a midweek lunch, or dinner, the menus shift with the calendar. A separate bar snack menu runs alongside, and the cocktail list is taken seriously. The atmosphere is welcoming — families and children are always welcome, and dogs are allowed in the bar area.

A Place to Stay and Celebrate

Beyond the restaurant, The Ginger Pig offers 11 en-suite double rooms across two floors, each with air conditioning, Hypnos mattresses, and high thread-count linen. There are also three self-catering mews houses, converted from the original stable block, a stone’s throw from the beach. The Guardian described the rooms as “informal luxury at fairly affordable prices.”

For private occasions, a dedicated dining area can host parties and special celebrations. The restaurant also caters for private events and offers a private chef service. A small outdoor terrace provides space for drinks in warmer months.

Simple, Seasonal, Sussex

From breakfast through to Sunday lunch and evening dinner, the kitchen’s commitment to local sourcing and seasonality is the thread that runs through every dish. The Ginger Pig is a gastropub that knows what it is: relaxed, ingredient-led, and firmly rooted in its corner of Brighton.
