Embers

Situated in the heart of Brighton’s Lanes, we serve sharing dishes cooking absolutely everything over an open wood fire with innovative cocktails to go alongside. You can expect big bold flavours and lots of action whilst watching the chefs cook on a medieval-style fire cage in the middle of the room.

Dave and Isaac have known each other for 15 years and Dave was Isaacs’s first mentor in the kitchen – they’ve been good friends ever since. It was always their dream to open a restaurant together and it has finally happened! Dave has always been the bbq king and has always cooked over a wood fire, so opening a restaurant cooking exclusively over wood just made so much sense! You could almost say they are going a bit medieval but in a modern setting.

Although Dave and Isaac both have a fine dining background, they wanted Embers to be a lot more accessible – the kind of place they would love to go to on their days off.

For both of them, the dishes they remember the most fondly are always the simplest ones; dishes that deliver punchy yet contrasting flavour combinations made with great quality seasonal ingredients. This is the basis on which they have designed the menu at Embers.
