Fakeaway recipes in Brighton
Vegetarian-friendly seaside city with a strong café and restaurant scene.
Brighton is famously vegetarian-friendly — the UK's veggie capital. The Lanes (the old town) have multiple vegetarian and vegan restaurants — Food for Friends, Terre à Terre, the Green Kitchen. The North Laine is the alternative/student area with cafés, the South Lanes is the historic seafront.
Brighton's Chinese and Thai scenes are strong — the Kemp Town area and Western Road have multiple Chinese restaurants, the North Laine has multiple Thai restaurants. The standard seaside chippy is everywhere (Brighton Pier fish and chips is the most photographed meal in Sussex).
For chains: McDonald's, KFC, Subway, Nando's. Pizza Hut and Domino's. Five Guys is everywhere in Brighton — it has one of the UK's densest coverages.
Brighton-specific: Veggie haggis (a Brighton invention), the proper cream tea (scones, clotted cream, jam — Sussex style, jam first then cream), the pier doughnuts (fresh, hot, sugar-coated, available only at the Palace Pier).
