The Rum Kitchen is a boutique chain of Caribbean restaurants across London and Brighton. Known for their lively atmosphere, colourful decor and cult jerk chicken recipe, these restaurants make for a feel-good space for bringing together loved ones.
While all the branches have something special about them, it's hard to deny the draw of the Brighton restaurant which sits beachside, just one minute from the city's famous pier. This great location is certainly befitting of the restaurant's holiday-style concept and can be enjoyed with the outside seating on the terrace.
If, however, you'd like a more private place to host your gang, Rum Kitchen Brighton is a home to a beautiful private dining room. In the centre of the space, you'll find a large banquet-style table with enough room for 25 people to sit down, with additional seating dotted around the area. The room is colourful and full of character with a tiled floor, statement lighting and palm tree motifs all around. If you imagined more of a party vibe, the total room's capacity is actually 80, and perfect for socialising with drinks and food.
In terms of food, private dining bookings are invited to enjoy the feasting menu which is served family style. Start with some nibbles like saltfish fritters and fried prawns, before moving onto the restaurant's legendary signature jerk wings, boneless jerk chicken legs and grilled jerk pork belly. Sides sound delicious, too, such as rice and peas, mac and cheese, fries and plantain.
But it's not just food that the team here are passionate about, as the bar also serves a selection of over 100 rare rums from many different Caribbean islands. To that end, you can also add a cocktail making class or rum-sipping session to your booking, as a fun, interactive thing to do together.
