An Evening Forged for Celebration: Your New Year’s Eve Restaurant in Brighton
Two ways to dine. One unforgettable way to welcome the year ahead.
New Year’s Eve at The Coal Shed Brighton is a curtain call for the year, marked by big flavours, crafted plates, and that unmistakable Coal Shed energy. Dine early before heading off or settle in from 9pm, the night unfolds with seasonal ingredients cooked over live fire, a choice of three or four curated courses, and a room that builds in atmosphere until the final countdown.
5pm – 7:30pm: 3-course menu £95
9pm – Close: 4-course menu + midnight drink £125
The Early Sitting: A Three-Course Start to Your Night
Our earlier sitting, from 5pm to 7:30pm, is designed for those who want to begin New Year’s Eve with bold flavours, seasonal cooking, and time to continue the celebrations elsewhere. This is where the night starts strong: dishes shaped by the season, heightened by flame, and crafted to carry you from the first toast into whatever comes next.
For £95, your evening unfolds through our three-course menu, a focused celebration of flavour that balances intensity with refinement. It’s celebration food: confident, generous, and full of character — the perfect way to light the fuse on the night ahead.
5pm – 7:30pm: 3-course menu £95
The Late Sitting: A Four-Course Feast to Midnight
From 9pm until close, is where the night truly takes hold. As guests settle in for the full Coal Shed experience, plates hit the table with heat, glasses are topped up, and the room builds in energy as midnight draws near. By the time the countdown begins, the whole place is alive. It’s the kind of New Year’s Eve that stays with you long after the clock strikes twelve.
This late-night celebration begins with our four-course feast, prepared with expertly sourced ingredients, accompanied by the theatre of fire, and dishes designed to mark the occasion with real intent. And New Year’s Eve wouldn’t be complete without a midnight drink to raise as the year turns, so this is also included in the price of £125 per guest.
9pm – Close: 4-course menu + midnight drink £125
