Burnt Orange

Burnt Orange is a wood-fired Mediterranean restaurant and bar on Middle Street, close to the seafront and historic Lanes in Brighton. The venue combines social dining with a relaxed bar setting, creating a place suited to an afternoon coffee, a working lunch, an afternoon beer, cocktails, dinner or a few plates shared over drinks.

The food is built around seasonal produce and cooking over fire. Dishes are designed for grazing, with the menu working equally well for individual courses, a larger meal for the table or a light bite alongside a spritz. The sharing format makes Burnt Orange a natural choice for catch-ups, informal celebrations and meals where guests can order at their own pace.

Drinks receive the same considered approach as the food. Cocktails, wine, beer and soft drinks are all part of the offer, with well-made options for different types of visit. The atmosphere stays easy and sociable, supported by comfortable seating, friendly service and music that moves from daytime background to a livelier evening soundtrack.

The restaurant has an all-day character rather than a strictly dinner-focused feel. Its warm, fire-led style suits relaxed lunches and long afternoons, while the bar becomes a late-night option for drinks and conversation. Late bookings for drinks are available on selected evenings, and walk-ins are welcomed for those looking for a spontaneous stop after dinner.

Burnt Orange also caters for larger gatherings, with separate arrangements for group bookings. The overall setting is polished without feeling formal, making it suitable for shared meals, drinks with friends and casual occasions that may continue into the evening. The venue operates as a cashless restaurant and bar.
