Gosia J I had the pleasure of dining at Thewitchez Restaurant yesterday and was absolutely captivated by this gem of a Polish establishment. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the atmosphere. The decor is truly amazing and unique, making the dining experience feel immersive and cosy. Crucially, the customer service was wonderful and very attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, adding significant value to the entire evening. The menu offers a fantastic tour of authentic Polish cuisine, and everything I tried was exceptional. I sampled the traditional Polish beetroot soup (Barszcz) and the onion soup. Both were incredibly filling, unique, and bursting with authentic flavours. They set a high bar for the rest of the meal, offering a comforting and complex start. The Steak Tartare with Egg (Tatar) was a highlight. They were classically prepared, but what truly elevated the dish was the lovely accompanying salad. This garnish was not just decorative, but it beautifully complemented the rich flavour of the tartare, making the whole experience feel balanced and sophisticated. For the main course, I enjoyed a platter featuring Hunters Stew (Bigos) and authentic Polish Sausage (Kiełbasa). The Bigos was hearty and deeply satisfying, while the Kiełbasa was perfectly cooked. Paired with crispy potato chips and a fresh salad, it was a truly complete and delicious meal. I wish the bread was any sourdough (or Polish bread). While I noted the absence of Polish beers on the menu, I took a delightful turn and ordered a standard beer with raspberry syrup (sok malinowy). This traditional Polish addition made the beer taste absolutely amazing, a refreshing, sweet, and tangy twist that I highly recommend trying! Overall Thewitchez Restaurant offers a genuine taste of Poland right here in Brighton. From the unique, flavorful soups to the impeccably presented Steak Tartare, the quality of the food and the authenticity of the experience are truly outstanding. If you are looking for delicious, comforting, and exciting Eastern European cuisine, look no further.

Suraj Thapa Magar Amazing place with a lovely team of staff who really make the experience warm and welcoming. The food looks absolutely stunning,beautifully presented and appetising. I tried the salmon tartare, which looked amazing, though the crostini was unfortunately very hard, possibly from being prepared too far in advance. The fish and chips also looked fantastic, with a crisp golden batter, but the fish lacked seasoning, just a touch would have lifted it. The chicken roast was a highlight, the gravy was phenomenal. The kale, however, would be easier to enjoy if cut into bite sized portions. The potatoes looked amazing with a nice crust, though again, some seasoning would have made them perfect. Overall, I still gave 5 stars because the experience was worth it, and I believe a few small improvements could take the food to the next level. Writing this in detail because I genuinely want to share helpful feedback, I’ll definitely be back!

James Johnson My partner and I were in the area and decided we fancied a Chinese for dinner. We looked up local ones in the area and came across Penang Village and thought we would give it a try. We were not disappointed. The food was lovely, the hospitality was good and attentive. Being the only people dinning in during our meal, I can’t say much about the atmosphere, but that didn’t bother us, as we prefer it quiet. We asked what one of the plants inside the restaurant was and ended up being gifted a rooted cutting. Highly recommend, and wish the owners / staff all the best. Certainly won’t be forgotten and will be back again when revisiting the area.

George Isted My partner and I wanted somewhere a little bit special for our anniversary dinner and Tern delivered and more. A fantastic experience from arrival to leaving with friendly attentive staff and pleasant surroundings. We enjoyed the 5 course (+ cheese) menu and it can only be described as excellent. An amazing fusion and balance of delicate flavours (especially the halibut which was exquisite) that would be hard to beat and worthy of Michelin star restaurants I have visited in the past. Thanks so much for making it a wonderful visit including the extra’s provided for our anniversary. It was appreciated and I can’t wait to come back to see what is on the menu next time! If there was any criticism I would say the lighting above the tables was a little bright for a relaxed evening setting.

Peter Dangerfield We loved the Black Horse. It is an historic building in a charming quiet village nestling in the South Downs. The public areas are welcoming and interesting with open log fires and comfortable seating. The food is imaginative but also has pub classics. Excellent beer, cider and wine with a good selecton by the glass as well as bottle. Our room was neat and tidy with a huge bed. The staff were unfailingly friendly and efficient. Highly recommended.
