It has a lot of locally sourced products including recently filberts/cobnuts which were a real treat. I also noticed although did not get tiny grape size kiwi fruit.

They also have a nice range of cut flowers and locally produced apple juice.

I love this little sandwich/deli shop and have given it an extra star (sorry previous reviewer) as…read moreit concentrates more on their meat eating clientele than the burger-dodging veggies. I've got nothing against vegetarians but there's plenty of places in town (come on, this is Brighton) to get a goat's cheese and walnut filled pita bread and not too many where they fill your sandwich so full of pastrami you feel like your in New York. The prices are a little higher than your average Subway but then there's not really any comparison quality wise in regards to food or service. There's a couple of nice little tables outside too that you can sit and watch the world go by while enjoying your food. Ideal if you live in Hove and are walking into town to sit and fill up for lunch before hitting the crowds.

Nice sandwich place on Western Road. I think it's been around for a very long time…read more The main thing I remember about this place is when u first moved down here years ago. I went in and asked for a chicken and salad 'batch', and to my surprise the owner knew exactly what I was on about! (A batch is a Nuneaton/Coventry term for a bread roll or bap or whatever you call them down here). Turns out the owner is from my home town, small world! It was nice to have a bit of familiarity having just moved to a place where everyone was questioning my accent every five minutes. Anyway I digress - the food is lovely and the staff pleasant. I hope this place is around for many years to come!

Really great spot for healthier salads with copious options. I stopped in for lunch one day, and…read moregot their 1 main + 3 salads (£11.50 for eat in, £10.50 for take away). They had about 10 salads to choose from, most of which were vegan, and a bunch of mains, two of which were vegan. For the main, I got a decadent butter bean dish that was wonderfully flavoured, albeit quite oily. The salads were all quite intensely flavoured too, with a broccoli salad that had a nicely horseradish-dominant dressing, a tomato and bell pepper salad that was nicely dressed, and roasted sweet potatoes. Very filling and good value. I was really happy with the food. I capped off the meal with an American (£2.40), which was definitely above average for UK -- seems like the place is run by Italians, so that might be it. Super friendly and helpful staff who kindly pointed out everything that was vegan. All in all, highly recommended spot near the centre and beach.

I walked past and happened to notice the sign out the front advertising an all you can eat lunch for £6.95 per person. If that wasn't enough of an arm twister, the food on display in the window looked AMAZING! Today's hot menu offerings were vegetable soup, beef goulash, vege moussaka and Caribbean chicken drumsticks with mash or rice. And then a gorgeous array of 7 fresh salads to compliment your meal. Fresh, fast and tasty! This quiet and cosy restaurant had super lovely staff, and the food was just fantastic. Great little spot for lunch on North Street.

Middle Farm is a really lovely farm in Firle, near Lewes, and not far from Brighton. I've often…read morevisited purely for their amazing farm shop, which is packed with tasty locally-produced goodies. However, Middle Farm is also a working farm, making it a great place to take children. There is an outdoor playground and a nature trail and of course all sorts of exciting farm animals for the kids to learn about, including cows, chickens, pigs and donkeys. You can even watch the beautiful Jersey cows being milked! Adults, be sure to check out the cider shop, home to a large collection of draught ciders and parries, from all over the country. . Magners drinkers beware- these are real ciders, meaning they can often taste quite farmy- personally I think most of them are delicious, but they can take a bit of getting used to! Apples are pressed on site to make delicious Sussex apple juice- there are often demonstrations going on outside in fine weather. There's also a café serving cream teas and other cakes and treats as well as an outdoor picnic area. Middle Farm can serve as a great pit stop either before or after a walk, as there is beautiful countryside surrounding the site.

Middle Farm is a brilliant showcase of animal husbandry with the townie family in mind (wellies are not essential, but certainly useful). It is a working/show farm combination, and if you so desire, you can buy some of the local produce at the nearby farm shop - albeit at some pretty racy prices. So what have they got? Enough to give Noahs ark a run for his money I would say: Piggies, Llaamas, Goats, Cows, Wabbits, Peacocks, Ferrets and some (seriously) funky chickens to name a few. Quite a few of the chicken and bantam breeds have free roam during the day which really adds to the all-under-one barn roof kind of feel to the place. There's also play areas a restaurant and, as mentioned earlier a really fantastic farm shop. Your children/inner child will not be bored.

Presto Street has quiet a few restaurants along it, mostly Asian and Indian cuisines, so its nice to have Cafe Royal flying the flag for British food. The decor is very traditional and very dated, but in a kitch way. It's similar to that of an olde worlde tavern except with the smell of burgers wafting though the air. Its menus a pretty standard cafe menu with British mains, sandwiches, chips etc etc. It comes highly recommended for a lunch time bite, but maybe not for a romantic meal.

Stalls here are fixed mini-shops rather than traditional outdoor type market stalls. Stalls here cover a wide range. There are traditional food market stalls - selling fish, meat, cheese and more. Then there are a couple of general, messy second hand bric a brac stalls. There are stalls selling plants and flowers, and at certain times, Christmas trees, two second hand bike shops, and a free book exchange. I would love to see the place revived by the council, perhaps with some temporary stalls to mix things up a bit, and longer opening hours. In these recession-bitten times, that seems unlilkely.

I actually love the food here and it's pretty cheap. They also get random STUFF in once a month for a laugh to make you wonder if you accidentally wondered into your local budget hardware shop. They have stollen at Christmas and it's delightful. You're welcome.

They had a whole board describing latkes so I ordered a Cheese and Chorizo Latke. The staff was friendly, heated it up, and put it in-between two plates and in a bag for me. My first reaction was wow, this latke is heavy! Unlike the ones I'm used to, this latke was super dense and not crispy. For just £3.25, I was too full for lunch. I liked that there was filling in the latke, but it was a bit bland and overly oily (though let's be real, when are latkes not super oily?), and it felt like I consumed an unnecessary amount of empty calories (correction: I did, not that I have any regrets). Although I wasn't blown away, Hells Kitchen had a ton of lunch options and is a solid spot with super reasonable prices.
