Local tip
A top-floor table is the best choice for making the most of the West Pier outlook, subject to availability.

The Seahorse is a top-floor restaurant and events venue at 26 Kings Road, overlooking the seafront and the remains of the West Pier. Its setting gives the dining room a clear coastal identity, while the interior is presented as stylish and suited to relaxed meals, drinks and organised occasions.

The food focuses on the British coastline, using fresh, seasonal ingredients and modern interpretations of familiar dishes. The approach keeps the menu connected to its seaside location without limiting the restaurant to a narrowly traditional style. The kitchen’s cooking is designed for lunch, dinner and shared occasions, with food and drink menus available for different types of visit.

The restaurant also has a programme of hosted events. These include regular social dining occasions, drinks-led events and seasonal celebrations, giving the venue a flexible character beyond standard restaurant service. The events space can suit gatherings that call for a meal, drinks or a more organised format, while the main restaurant provides a setting for smaller meals and informal celebrations.

A terrace adds an outdoor option when events or seating arrangements make it available. Inside, the elevated position and views towards the West Pier provide the main visual focus, making the venue a natural choice for diners who want a meal with a seafront outlook. The location in Brighton places it close to the beach and the central seafront route.

The Seahorse suits couples, friends and groups looking for contemporary British coastal cooking in a restaurant with a distinctive setting. It can work for a daytime meal, an evening booking, a drinks occasion or a planned event. Seasonal menus and event offerings change, so the venue’s current food, drink and occasion-specific information should be checked before booking.
