Love a great review! While we consistently get 5 star reviews, when people say we’ve given the “perfect day” our little food tour hearts sing a little louder! ❤️

is a franchise from Szechuan and we have a Brighton restaurant owned by the charming Peter. We don’t normally do chains but his hospitality and the experience turned our heads! It’s a “select your own ingredient hotpot experience” and it was hands down the most fun we’ve had eating out in ages. Choosing some adventurous ingredients and then having them delivered to your table in a bubbling cauldron in a sauce of your choosing was an “Oooh! Ahhh!” experience for all of us. It got the kids trying ingredients they would not normally go for (black fungus, lotus roots and whole baby squid included) and they are dying to go back again and try more. Thanks so much for the invite! We hope you enjoy the food tour as much when we get to return the favour!

Oh look 👀! It’s us in the latest edition of A lovely little write up of what kicked us into food tour action. We’ve been in business 8 years now, our little biz survived Covid and we’ve grown our families and kept other jobs going too. We’re frankly exhausted but isn’t that what being working parents/small business owners is all about? 😂 we would not have got here without our guides, customers and amazing vendors - shout out to the BFT originals who have with us all of those 8 years - - many others have joined us since then. It’s a cracking ride everybody! Here’s to the next steps for Brighton Food Tours and all things foodie in our fair city!

The Lanes branch - the original and our favourite to visit and take tours to. Love the fact they don’t take bookings, the busy (but not rushed) atmosphere- it’s sophisticated but you can take the family and of course, the food. All the classics and some tasty twists - not pictured but the lobster with Pad Thai slaw is a winner. It’s a consistently great local restaurant with a fantastic staff team - a Brighton winner!

Tasting the rainbow, eating the rainbow Literally the most nomadic restaurant in Brighton (I think this venue number 5 over the past 25 years) - authentic, affordable and atmospheric

have been hosting tours in Brighton for 8 years now - we are so proud of our city and love hosting locals and visitors alike. We work hard to support independent businesses in Brighton and we know lots of our customers love the Shop/Eat Local values we support. To this end we’d love to encourage you all to support independent businesses (including ours!) by booking direct. Those big online travel booking platforms are convenient and boss the internet visibility but they take a massive 20-30% cut off ticket prices. It’s a killer for little businesses like ours - if you can book direct it’ll always make a difference to the business you are working with - whether it’s a hotel, food tour or any other independent business. Tickets and gift vouchers are available via our website Links in bio ❤️

We are Brighton Food Tours - a local independent business that supports other local independent businesses. We run public tours twice a week and a whole range of private events too - corporate gigs - hens and stags - family get togethers and team building events. We have run tours for local and international businesses, locals and international visitors. We are the only award winning food tour in our fair city and we work directly with our customers and vendors. Check out our website www.brightonfoodtours.com Book direct and tell us what you’d like on your tour.

Sometimes you need a long boozy lunch with friends, with an array of dishes that just arrive so you don’t have to spend time deciding and you have more time to talk. .uk is an ideal venue for such an event. The service was great and they happily adjusted their set menu with a few changes and kept the wine flowing. These are just a few in the dishes- when you visit you must order the caponata - it’s EPIC 😋 Thank you Team Tutto!

It is such a joy for us to return to Magic’s latest incarnation of his atmospheric Algerian Berber restaurant is now at 95 Gloucester Rd where the Inside Out Cafe used to be. We’ve been visiting and following the Blue Man as it’s moved around its various (4? 5?) locations around the city for the past 24 years and recall the first establishment on Edward St with great fondness. We’ve always loved it and so should you ❤️

Do you like meat, bread and wine? Are you wandering the North Laine desperate for a little sit down, a banging sandwich and a wall of foodie treats to buy stocking fillers and self-care gifts? has just opened on the site of Isaac At on Gloucester Street and can answer all of the above prayers. I had the epic Roberta sandwich with pastrami from and perused the wall of condiments and treats. A new fave stop for our tours and our own eating habits. Go now, eat, relax and shop….

Mmmm, can you smell it?! Can you?! Go on, have a big sniff!!....Mmm, that's the gorgeous aroma of freshly roasting coffee beans at the brilliant @redroastercoffee roastery in deepest Kemptown. One of our all time favourite places to get our coffee but also just to hang out and breathe in the pure coffee bean ecstasy heaven! Mmmm...

Woo hoo! We're out and about in Brighton, filming today 🎥... Great shot of Becky whisking matcha at @birdandblendtea... #filmwithinafilm

We love it when our punters get involved! Here are the lovely women from yesterday's private tour - from a tiny village in the far far north of Iceland (population 250!) - getting into the whole Basketmaker's Arms 'tobacco tins on the walls' tradition!... After finding some classic Brighton poetry in the first tin they opened ("Roses are red violets are blue, aren't you glad you don't live in a loo?") they then repaid the pleasure by leaving a little hand-drawn map of Iceland showing their hometown, with the message "með kveðju frá Raufarhöfn, Íslandi" (greetings from Raufarhöfn, Iceland)... such a lovely moment and a real highlight for us!

Happy Christmas everyone from our chief taster! #dogsthatwink #dogsofinstagram

Take a look (with volume on) at today's amazing #OctoberBest Tour in conjunction with Brighton's Best Restaurants, featuring our independent food heroes: 64 Degrees, Plateau, Curry Leaf Cafe, Bincho & The Set. A massive thank you to all our vendors, as well of course to an utterly delightful bunch of punters who came along for the ride and kindly laughed at my jokes - what an absolute beaut of a day! 🤗

May festival mayhem has hit! Love running tours during festival time, the city's a-buzz!

Brighton Food Tours: Drink Brighton

What a lovely video of Saturday's Drink Brighton tour from one of our punters, Xavi at Xavier D. Buendia Photography. Really captures the essence of what was an utterly perfect day - amazing weather, really lovely punters and some of Brighton's finest independent businesses at their very best! Thanks Xavi.... #DrinkBrighton
