It was such a difficult decision to make to announce that we’d have to close our restaurant after 28yrs. It’s not just us that’s impacted, it’s the staff, the chefs, the vineyards, the farmers, the cleaners, the delivery people, the tableware companies, local florists who supply our flowers, the list goes on and on…

In the UK you now pay one of the highest VAT rates in Europe, 20% extra in VAT for your food, your drinks, your dessert. In France, Spain & Italy it’s 10%, Germany just 7%.

We’ve shared a link in our bio for a petition spearheaded by asking the Government to consider lowering our VAT to match other European countries. If you get the chance to read through it, please do, and consider signing it. We know there’s a lot of people out there who are struggling behind closed doors ❤️

Ever since we first opened in 1998 we've always had the same core philosophy - to create uncomplicated, full-flavoured food, made from the freshest, highest quality seasonal produce. We work hard to champion local farmers and producers and have been fortunate to work with many great people over the years. Till our final opening date it's an ethos we will continue to stick to, to help champion the great food scene that Brighton and Sussex has to offer. ❤️

Two key components of a good roast: well-risen, fluffy Yorkshire puddings and a delicious cut of mouth-watering meat. Fortunately for us, we get our meat from the local , allowing us to select the very finest produce from local farms. Not in the mood for a roast because of the heat? No worries, not only do we have A/C but we also have our A La Carte menu available on Sundays too 😉❄

We want to sincerely thank everyone for watching our last video, sharing it, sending your messages, the response has been overwhelmingly heartfelt! It's been a hard decision to make to close our restaurant, but as we said, we just can't keep going in the current economical climate unfortunately. We aren't going out with a bang though! We're still cooking up the amazing Gingerman food that we know you love, using the very best, locally sourced ingredients.

We will update you once we have a final closure date, but until then we will be open Thursday - Sunday. Again, I want to thank each and every one of you that's reached out. Hearing all of your wonderful stories has really touched our hearts 💖
