The Hope and Ruin

I can help with this! Kindly has two branches now and is a (admittedly expensive) vegan supermarket with fun bits and fresh baked goods. In terms of eat in, T@ the dials is a cosy spot with great options for breakfast or lunch, and Hope and Ruin has a really tasty junk foody vegan menu for lunch or dinner. If you can takeaway to where you're staying or the park/beach, Oowee have some of the best burgers ever, and What the Pitta is delish, you can eat in at either of these, but the interiors aren't the cosiest (but still fine). Bonsai Plant…

I second this. West Street is a mess. Meeting people shouldn't be difficult but it all depends on what you are into. Brighton has a vibrant music scene with good bands playing most nights. Hope and Ruin, Prince Albert and Grrrn Door Store are some of the best venues. The Laines are a fun area to explore local indie shops and pubs. Pavilion Gardens has a good art museum and the tour of the Pavillion is worth your time or just grab a blanket and chill out in the gardens. The seaside is always…

Gonna throw in a wildcard and recommend a vegan kebab, beelzebab in the hope and ruin. They deliver on Uber eats. It’s actually really good, give it a go if you feel like trying something a little different.
