‘FRESHLY’ RESTAURANT

By Peter Newman

Last week my parents and I visited Freshly, a modern British restaurant, in the centre of Brighton, Sussex. So it was the perfect opportunity to write a review for the school paper.

All of the ingredients used in Freshly come from Sussex and the surrounding area. It was also the first restaurant in the world to be serving only English wine. Since opening in 2018 Freshly has won many awards. The owner and head chef at the restaurant is only 24 years old and she has been cooking three-course meals for her family since she was nine and still at junior school. Jane did an apprenticeship at the famous Grand Hotel, in Brighton, and later also went to catering school in London. She says this was one of the hardest courses she has ever done and sometimes she was so tired that she could hardly speak. Despite this, she never felt like giving up because she knew she was following her dream.

Freshly is a small restaurant with a view over the back streets of Brighton where you can watch the world walk by. The staff are always welcoming. The head waiter is very informative about the food and how it is cooked and also from where all the ingredients have come from. The chefs are not scared to experiment, so the menu changes regularly. The chefs are lucky enough to be a team of good friends, and they try to eat out at different restaurants as often as they can. They take a lot of inspiration from their favourite chefs to make the Freshly experience as perfect as possible.

One thing to remember, however, is that you are limited to what they have that day on the menu. Freshly, however, will always cater for people with special food needs and vegetarians. The food is beautifully prepared and comes in small tasty portions. Wonderful homemade bread, too. Very nice - but expensive. Four set menus with an extra cheeseboard, two bottles of water and 2 coffees will cost around £150 without a tip. So yes, fine dining; but at a price.
