The Flint House Brighton Reviews from The Last Year
Second visit not so good :( ....
This was our second visit to The Flint House, our first visit was exceptional this time not so much.. We opted for the counter experience that runs every month, this was a treat for my partners birthday. We were welcomed in and shown to the seating area where you can watch the chefs work, we opted to pair the meal with the wines which was £60pp. The 5 course tasting menu consisted of the following, Cured Cod which was exceptional, Leek & Cheddar Croquette, Cajun Prawns, Chicken Ballotine & Basque Cheesecake. It was all going so well until the chicken, the chefs took the chicken out of the cooker multiple times and when mine arrived it was PINK inside, asking the chef if this is how its supposed to be I was told "yes its wing meat" I understand that wing meat maybe darker but this was pink and had the texture of raw chicken, at this point another diner sent hers back to be cooked more so I asked for the same, it seems that it wasn't just me. At that point I was slightly put off as nobody wants pink chicken! We finished with a Basque Cheese Cake and as much as the Cheesecake was nice it was an odd end and sat very heavy. Overall the wine paring was perfect and the food was super until the chicken... Also on receiving my email confirmation my email address was leaked along with all the other diners which is a GDPR breach... :(
Nice Saturday lunch
Good service and food, very noisy though, we were near the bar and lots of crashing and banging and breakages. Also the volume of noise from customers, the restaurant doesn’t absorb it that well. Would ask them to check plates as had the same plate and going from fish course to meat course - it had some of the fish taste on. We had the tasting menu and wine flight, be aware the flight looks like it’s five drinks for £20, it is only four as it’s an extra £8 for dessert wine (125ml), it’s printed small on the menu.
Best meal out for years.
Best meal we've had eating out for years. Great food, brilliant staff and excellent atmosphere. Can't recommend highly enough.
Small plates served at the counter.
Dinner in a modern bar and restaurant situated within the maze of the Brighton Lanes. Upstairs is the bar where you can have a pre-dinner drink. Downstairs is what we have come for Obvs. There's a counter-level bar that gives you a front-row view as plates upon small plates of dishes are prepped, made, and walked from the kitchen to the table. Their menu has quite a varied choice, from snacks and small plates to a five-course Chef’s menu. For 2 to share 50pp / 70pp with wine pairing. We couldn't decide what to have, so we went for the Chefs menu. Just to be awkward,we asked to change one of the dishes to a preferred alternative. After the server had a little discussion with the chef, he nodded. We didn't have the wine pairing as we both have different tastes. Instead of having a glass or a bottle, you can have a 375ml carafe. One white,one red, please. This also saves on having to catch the eye of your server to order another glass. This is a great way of dining out as you get to try different dishes off the menu that you probably wouldn't have ordered or would have missed. Speaking of which, the very first dish was a very pretty looking Sweet Potato Crisp, Courgette, Sage, Pomegranate followed by Bream Ceviche, Orange, Coriander, Jalapeño. Then comes a couple of tasty snacks,Sweetcorn Fritters & Ham and Gruyere croquettes. Next up is the dish we swapped to Roasted Cod,Thai Green Curry Sauce,Vermicelli Noodle, Thai Basil. That comes with a Radicchio, Anchovy, and Parmesan Salad accompaniment. The main dish was Slow Roast Lamb Shoulder, crushed peas, feta, mint,Satay Squash, picked chilli, Peanuts, Coriander with the most outrageous Confit Potato, Black Pepper Aioli. Dessert of Chocolate Parfait, Vanilla Poached Pear, Praline Crème Diplomat. Dark Chocolate and Brown Butter Fudge, Cocoa Nib. Service was very friendly, and the food was spot on. All dishes were served at pace from an open kitchen. Time flew by as we were mesmerised watching all the busy chefs prepare the dishes.
Really very good
Soooo good. I’m honestly quite hard to please but the Flint House was really great. Went for an early dinner with a friend and all the staff were lovely and welcoming, they happily switched out the gin for tequila in my negroni with no fuss. Great guidance on food selection and quantities required. Good wine list, and good knowledge about it on the part of the staff too. If you like oysters you have to try the gochujang ones they have on, so so tasty. Although to be fair every dish was really good. Creme brûlée doughnut was spectacular. My only tiny gripe is that they had a miscommunication about the dessert wine we ordered to go with it so we needed up not having that but they were so lovely about it that it didn’t matter. Plus that doughnut was so good I’ll almost certainly pop back in just for a lunchtime treat of that and the Riesling at some point so will get to try the pairing anyway!
A delicious identity crisis
Very nice food and friendly service, comprehensive drinks menu and a nice atmosphere. Expensive, but no more so than equivalent spots in brighton. However, the menu (specifically the portion sizing) needs much simplification. Our lovely waiter took at least 90 seconds just to explain the different types of plates and - despite all members of our party ordering from the same part of the menu - we all ended up with vastly different quantities of food. Is it small plates? Is it fine dining? This part just felt a bit confused. Nevertheless, it was very tasty.
Good quality but ridiculously small portions
Very good quality food but the main dishes have the size of starters so ends up being totally overpriced. We ended up having to buy a sandwich and fries as we were still very hungry when we left. The portion of cod they put in your plate is about the third of what you get in a pub for the same price.
A Real Treat
This restaurant is superb. We ate at the bar, food was quickly supplied but the quality was out of this world. One of the nicest things we had was confit of potatoes. That was amazing. This is small plate modern Spanish tapas. Service was impeccable. Its a real treat.
Okay Service - Sadly Ended with Food Poisoning
My girlfriend and I were visiting Brighton for two days (29-30th) before heading into London for NYE on the 31st. We'd booked an AirBnB and the trip was meant to be a nice final relaxing getaway before starting 2024. We hadn't researched The Flint House, we just stumbled across it. I must admit, upon entering the staff were very accommodating, especially seeming we didn't have a reservation. We chose a nice bottle of wine and then decided to go with the taster menu (10 dishes). The food was fine, I wouldn't say great but it was enjoyable enough. The main came which was the chicken leg - I ate mine before my partner showed me that hers was pink, slimy and raw. We raised this with the waiter whose response was 'It can't be raw we sous vide our chicken so it's cooked to temperature'. She came back a few minutes later and said she took the value of the dish off our bill - the gesture was kindly received - little did I know it was sadly too late for me. Fast forward to 3am the morning of the 30th and I'm projectile vomiting. As this is a public forum, I'll avoid the crude details. In sum, I was sick 11 times over the course of the day, battling dehydration and stomach cramps - not quite the day we had planned as I couldn't leave the flat, and we missed our pre-booked tickets to the aquarium. Having read a few other reviews also highlighting similar food safety issues, I researched what is required to lodge a complaint with Brighton Food Safety. Turns out it's a faecal sample to confirm the bacteria - naturally, I was in no place to see a GP, let alone mine isn't based in Brighton. Overall, it's disappointing as it seems there's little us as patrons can do to receive compensation (my £140 down the drain). I am 100% certain it was the chicken that caused my sickness as due to us travelling to Brighton, all I'd eaten prior was a handful of Pringles - and we didn't eat anything after the meal. I only snapped a photo of the first course, but attached that as proof of our meal on-site on the 29th (around 4.20pm) In the interest of a fair review - if the chicken hadn't been raw, and I hadn't got such awful food poisoning that single handily ruined my NY, I'd have rated the experience about a 6/10. As I mentioned above, the food was fine and the service was pleasant.
Delicious small plates
First visit and we were not disappointed! Very welcoming staff, we had a lovely table by the window upstairs. Good selection of small plates and we opted for the chefs menu (although we didn't have the wine pairings). Bream ceviche, sweetcorn fritters and ham and gruyere croquettes were delicious. Lemongrass and garlic chicken and confit potatoes were also delicious. Ambience was nice without too much loud music, but it did get crowded so the noise level was raised. Quite pricey but worth it.
