Come Christmas and Brighton is buzzing with excitement: from boutiques brimming with present ideas to jolly pubs overflowing with festive gatherings. So, if you're a business in Brighton - or simply hoping to bring together friends and family - looking for somewhere to host your Christmas do, there's plenty of options. If you want somewhere truly special, check out Lost In The Lanes.
This independent eatery has got real soul. Founded by Natalie in 2017, her dream was to create a place rooted in warmth, generosity and hospitality where people could get together - which is exactly what Christmas is all about. While Lost In The Lanes doesn't have a dedicated private dining space, you can speak to the team about taking over a section of the restaurant, booking a large table or even an entire take over, depending on the day of the week.
When it comes to the food, Lost In The Lanes is passionate about working with nearby suppliers, stocking local wines and telling the stories behind their dishes. Christmas parties can choose from a seasonal three-course menu, which features a selection of vibrant Mediterranean style dishes. Examples of starters from previous menus include honey and sesame roasted carrots with whipped curd, pickled shallot and walnuts, and sea bream crudo with dill creme fraiche. For main course, think slow roast shoulder of lamb with dauphinoise, seasonal greens and rosemary jus, while desserts might include vanilla panna cotta with poached pear.
There are plenty of options for vegans and vegetarians, and the team can cater to dietary requirements beyond this - simply let them know in advance if your guests have any special dietaries.
Be it a festive family lunch or all-out Christmas celebration, expect exceptional food and cocktails and a welcoming atmosphere at this relaxed all-day spot.
