Masters of fire
It’s at the heart of what we do: source great seasonal local produce and cook it over flame
Whether you’re planning a date night in Brighton, a celebration with friends, or a pre-theatre dinner before a show at the Dome or Theatre Royal, The Coal Shed’s fire-cooked steaks, fresh seafood, and cocktail bar make it one of the best restaurants in Brighton for any occasion. Our 140-seat dining room and three private dining rooms also make us a natural choice for group dining and larger bookings in the heart of the city.
The menu is simple: the highest quality ingredients, sourced as locally as possible, and expertly cooked over fire.
As a Brighton steak and fish restaurant ideally situated on North Street, we suit those looking for places to eat in central Brighton. We are surrounded by the popular Lanes and North Laine, and enjoy being near The Brighton Centre, Theatre Royal, and The Brighton Dome.
Open seven days a week from noon till late with DJs playing Thursday-Saturday evenings.
Our menus
Celebrating the art of cooking over coal, our menus deliver a dining experience that is packed with flavour, and brand us as one of the best places to eat in Brighton and Hove.
The menu celebrates seasonal, sustainable steak, fish, and seafood, including a range of sharing steaks, and 28-day Irish steaks that are expertly cooked on hot coals. The daily changing specials board features rare breed cuts from specialist farms. For seafood fans, there is a selection of fresh fish and crustaceans from the South Coast. Every Sunday, the restaurant puts on a full sharing roast, complete with all the trimmings.
Our Drinks
We take the quality of drinks seriously. Right from the start our expansive wine list was curated with our menus in mind in order to craft the perfect pairing of food and drink.
Whether you order our expertly mixed cocktails, soft drinks wine or beer, you’ll end up with a well-considered and delicious drink in hand.
For the first time, The Coal Shed on North Street has a designated cocktail bar with its own bar food menu for those last minute drop-ins and casual lunches in Brighton with friends. Open seven days a week from noon till late with a rotating weekly line-up of Brighton’s best DJs every Thursday – Sunday.
Sunday Roasts in Brighton
Naturally, The Coal Shed Sunday roasts are the stuff of legend. Alongside our à la carte menu, Sundays in Brighton see us serve a carefully curated roast selection, all accompanied by rich, luxurious trimmings, and cooked simply but beautifully with locally sourced produce.
From the traditional 35-day aged beef rump to a half roast chicken, sirloin on-the-bone sharing steak, and our vegetarian and vegan options, roast dinner with us is a Sunday well spent.
