English’s Celebrates BRAVO 2025 Success!

Brighton, we’re raising a glass to you 🍾and to a record-breaking year for the BRAVO Awards!

Now in its eighth year, the Brighton Restaurant Awards Vote Online (BRAVOs) saw an incredible 72,911 votes cast by food lovers across Brighton, Hove, Sussex and beyond. That makes BRAVO 2025 the biggest one yet, and a true celebration of the people, places, and plates that make our local food scene so special.

We want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who voted for English’s of Brighton. Your support means the world to us, and we’re thrilled to share that we’ve been awarded:

🥂 3rd Place – Best Wine List
🍴 8th Place – Best Restaurant

We’re especially proud to be recognised for our wine list, which reflects not only Simon Leigh-Jones’ (owner) lifelong passion for wine, but also the growing curiosity and enthusiasm from our customers. With over 100 wines from Sussex vineyards and across the globe, and regular in-house tastings to keep our team sharp, it’s a part of our offering we love sharing with you.

To place 8th in the Best Restaurant category in such a vibrant, competitive dining scene is an honour – and it’s all thanks to you.

Whether you joined us for a glass of fizz at the oyster bar, a seafood feast on the terrace, or a celebratory dinner in one of our private rooms, we’re so grateful for your continued support.

Here’s to another year of great food, great wine, and great company in the heart of Brighton.
