Food is good at the Dover Castle and there is plenty to choose from. With everything from hearty pub food through to tapas and burgers, there is much to like about The Dover Castle.

This tiny Scandi-style restaurant in Brighton is a hit! High levels of concentration and “passion” are needed to hone the delicately constructed, exquisitely presented plates of food. The multi-course tasting menu is super-seasonal and hyper-local (the number of food miles is listed for each ingredient), with the kitchen team sourcing ingredients locally on a daily basis. Meanwhile, foraged pickings come into their own when it comes to sweet treats. The waiting staff are “brilliant on the wine front”, so ask for their advice when it comes to the all-Sussex list.
As well as the signature seven-course tasting menu, guests can instead opt to dine from a shorter four-course menu, while there is also a four-course pre-theatre menu available for guests who are heading to see a show at The Theatre Royal. For non-meat eaters, a vegetarian or vegan tasting menu can be requested.
