Celebrations, meetings and big moments — all done with fire and flair.
Whether you’re gathering the team, celebrating a birthday, or hosting your wedding reception, The Coal Shed Brighton is made for memorable occasions. Just moments from the seafront, our restaurant combines contemporary interiors, exceptional food cooked over fire, and flexible spaces that work for everything from intimate dinners to full restaurant hire.
Set within our stylish dining room, you’ll find a lively open kitchen, a welcoming bar area, and three dedicated private dining spaces for those wanting something a little more exclusive. Whatever the setting, you can expect the same signature mix — warm, attentive hospitality, impressive fire-led cooking, and a relaxed sense of luxury.

The Grand Dining Room
Intimate, impressive and completely yours.
Seating up to 45 guests, our Grand Dining Room is the largest of our three private dining rooms, making it ideal for larger parties and events. Closed off by sleek wooden doors from the main dining area, this beautiful dining room is filled with luxuriously upholstered chairs and banquet seating, parquet flooring and statement chandeliers which reflect off the dark mirrored ceiling.

The Longhorn
Small in Size, Big on Atmosphere
Towards the back of the Grand Dining Room, a heavy set of dark, luxurious curtains can be drawn to create our second private dining room: The Longhorn. This is our most intimate of our three private dining rooms, seating a maximum of 14 guests, making it perfect for smaller celebrations and get-togethers.


The Flamingo Social
Your own space — with room to turn it up.
Hidden down a private corridor, this unique space seats 26 and includes a marble-tiled table, leather seating, original artwork, and a dedicated serving team. With private entrance and sound system, it’s the perfect setting for unforgettable parties and special experiences.

Group Dining Menus
Big flavours. Shared plates.
Designed to bring people together. Our chefs have created seasonal set menus designed specifically for groups — with the same attention to detail and top-quality ingredients we’re known for. Choose between individually plated courses or opt for a more social, sharing-style spread that brings the fire-grilled flair to the middle of the table. On Sundays, our group Roast Menu is also available, turning classic comfort food into a long, indulgent afternoon worth gathering for.
