Nestled in the historic beachfront arches along Kings Road, The Winkle is a vibrant, family-and-dog-friendly restaurant that brings an unpretentious, community-focused vibe to the Brighton seafront. Run by married couple Owen and PJ—who swapped their corporate careers for coastal hospitality—the venue features an intimate indoor dining space with a mezzanine and a sun-soaked front patio perfect for watching the waves. The flexible menu highlights fresh, locally sourced coastal and countryside produce, offering everything from comforting small plates like crab mac and cheese bites to elegant mains like fresh moules marinière, all paired with a curated selection of local wines, craft beers from Lost Pier Brewing, and seasonal cocktails.
