The Lanes, Brighton

The Ivy In The Lanes

The restaurant was very busy on arrival so it was a good job we had booked. It was our first time to the Ivy and it was very enjoyable. Our waiter Louis was excellent. He was very friendly, helpful and no ask was too much. I would highly recommend this restaurant and you’re in luck if you get Louis! Thank you ☺️

We had travelled from Hertfordshire for a day out in Brighton The atmosphere at the Ivy is excellent a beautiful blend of Art Deco luxury and contemporary style, with high ceilings, vibrant artwork, and that signature lively buzz that makes every occasion feel special.
The service is truly where The Ivy excels. Our waiter was impeccable: attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu. Everything was handled with smooth, effortless professionalism, from cocktail recommendations to clearing courses perfectly in sync. The food was excellent we had starters of Crispy Squid and Duck salad followed by mains of Guinea fowl cassoulet and the Queen Scallops and Prawn linguine. The Ivy Brighton delivered a sophisticated and completely flawless experience.

The Ivy Brighton delivers on atmosphere and service, but falls short on drinks and value.

The decor hits the mark. You walk into a space that feels special.

The reception team sets the tone from the moment you arrive. The lady with what sounded like a Spanish accent knew her customers, remembered details, and made you feel welcome. Professional without being stiff. She understood hospitality.

Anna and her team deserve credit. Professional, friendly, and attentive. They made the evening.

Food service ran smoothly. No complaints about timing or attention at the table.

The fillet steak arrived looking thrown together. At this price point, you expect better presentation than meat slapped on a plate.

The real problem? Drinks service. Waiting over 10 minutes for a drink is unacceptable. This happened both at the bar and when ordering at the table. When you’re charging premium prices, this doesn’t cut it.

Value for money suffers because of the drink situation. The food prices you can justify. The drinks? Not when service moves at a crawl.

This might be the best Ivy location we’ve visited. The team gets it right where it counts most. But someone needs to fix the bar operation. You’re paying Ivy prices. You should get Ivy speed.

Would we return? Yes, but we’d think twice about ordering drinks beyond the meal.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We visited around the festive season. We love the opulent decor and beautiful colours around us. The spectacular bar is such an asset to the restaurant . Our meals were delicious. We had the turkey. Cocktails and desserts were yummy too. We were very looked after. Always service with a smile. We will definitely visit again and will recommend to friends and family.

Our first visit to the 'Ivy',  absolutely gorgeous venue.
I was given afternoon tea vouchers. It was easy to book online.
The afternoon tea was delicious.  The sandwiches came separately to the cake stand.
It was beautifully presented with a gorgeous flower on the top tier.
We were given a box to take home the cakes we couldn't manage.  We chose to eat the ones that would not travel or the creme brulee which was presented a dish we couldn't take away.
I was very impressed the hot chocolate came not only in a glass but I also received an extra jug to top up. This was a great addition as usually you have to ask for another drink elsewhere!
The decor was stunning,  everywhere you looked it had been thought about.  Including the ladies cloakroom which took my breath away, it was beautifully decorated.
The chap we had serving was charming in an old fashioned way but you could tell he enjoyed his work and was extremely professional.
I would love to return for lunch soon.
Thank you all for making a special birthday treat so enjoyable and memorable 💖

Honest Burgers Brighton

Honest review for this honest burger branch!

Don't walk - RUN to it!

Burger I got was a double smash patty with added bacon. Amazing freshness of the beef and really flavourful burger with proper transparency in ingredients! 5/5 - 10/10

This cozy spot tucked away in the Lanes is nothing short of a shining gem, the food was spectacular, seasoned to perfection with portion sizes to give you a run for your money. I feel it is rare these days to find a spot that can truly deliver in regard to both quality of ingredients and taste. That said, it was the service that pushed me to write this review and share my experience of the wonders that honest burgers has to offer. Blake, Will and Bianca were attentive and informative, providing a spectacular dining experience. Thank you, I will be back. 💚🍔

Lovely service but disappointing food.

We ordered two lunch sets with classic beef burgers and lemonades. The burgers were very thin, thin like McDonald’s ones, which we understood given the lunch deal price. Unfortunately, the patties were burnt and bitter, not nicely charred, but hard and dry. The chips were soggy and quite sad.

Honestly, it was one of the worst burger meals we’ve ever had.

One of the best burger we ever eaten. We ate it in the train and it was still hot. The burger is made with fresh meat and you can feel it. Also the fries were delicious. Crispy and yummy. An honor mention to the waiters. They were really kindness and available. Trust me, try it because it's worth it!

I had a great experience at Honest Burger. The staff were very welcoming and the atmosphere was nice. I tried the smash burger and it was super delicious, my friend had the BBQ chicken burger and loved it as well. We also ordered buffalo wings and they were amazing, especially the buffalo sauce. Definitely a place worth trying and I highly recommend it

All of the chicken in our restaurants is halal. If you would like to see our supplier’s halal certificate please ask your server when you arrive. Halal products are stored separately with strict processes in place to stop cross-contamination. Halal chicken items are handled with separate utensils and gloves. Fried halal chicken burgers and wings do not share fryers with any non-halal items. Grilled halal chicken breast burgers are cooked on a reserved area of the grill separated by a grill divider. We do not offer halal beef at any of our restaurants.

12 of our restaurants (full list below) offer a halal Buffalo fried chicken burger. We will be rolling this out to more restaurants in the near future so watch this space. You can find our Buffalo fried chicken burger at Bank, Cardiff, Finsbury Park, Liverpool St, Manchester, Portobello, Reading, South Kensington, Spitalfields, St Katherine Docks, Tooting and Watford.

I had the Lambshank Redemption. A lovely lamb burger. Well seasoned and chillies in the meat, the way I like it. Fries were good too and a great lunchtime deal. We were the only ones in the restaurant so not a great atmosphere but that's my fault rather than the restaurant's. Will come back to try the other burgers too.

One of the best burgers I’ve ever had! Really great service and the staff are so lovely. Very casual and friendly vibe and decently priced too. Definitely choose this over any fast food chain: they cannot compare.

We went in for a friends lunch and got greeted by the lovely Julia, she treated us so nicely! The food was amazing, I got the DON and didn’t leave a single crumb. We will be back for sure! Amazing lunch deal.

Quite literally the best burger and chips I've ever had in my life!
Everything was 10/10 when I came here. The staff are awesome too.
Totally would recommend to anyone.

Possibly the best Burger in town! the service was amazing, we really enjoyed our lunch, definitely coming back for the cocktail happy hour when in town. I went for the Lambshank Redemption as recommended, chips are included so we ordered some of the BBQ wings and brisket balls, must have. Definitely a place on the list.

Our lamb and chicken is Halal at all locations. Our beef is Halal at Kingly and James St.
