    The last time I was in Brighton, several years ago, I had a meal at The Seahorse which was OK, but I wasn't made to feel very welcome as a solo diner. So this time, I wasn't planning to consider it. However, it was a beautiful, sunny day and walking past I saw people on the upper terrace and just thought it looked like the perfect place for lunch. I am so glad I gave it another chance. I was given the menus and told to choose where I wanted to sit, so I picked a perfect spot, overlooking the beach. From then on, everything was perfect - the food (chicken, leeks and wild mushrooms, tender stem broccoli and fries, followed by black forest trifle) was wonderful. Perfectly cooked, fresh and tasty and very well presented. Wine choices were excellent. I was not once made to feel unwelcome, or even rushed. The service was very friendly and attentive. It is not a cheap place, but then you do have a fantastic location, top quality food and wine and great service. And everything is so much more expensive now. You get what you pay for, and I think it is worth it. I will most certainly look to come here again next time I'm in Brighton.

The place looked stunning and everything was set up perfectly. We have received so many compliments on how good the food was! The service was very friendly, helpful, professional and efficient. The entire team seemed to make a huge effort to look after us all and make sure the day went smoothly - we couldn’t have asked for more! We would recommend The Seahorse for an amazing wedding venue to anyone who wants to know 😊 Thank you again and please pass on our thanks and appreciation to all of the team who contributed to our very special day.
