Located at 50 Preston Rd, Brighton BN1 4QF, the restaurant offers a culinary journey that balances creativity with comfort. The The Set Restaurant Menu stands out for its commitment to seasonal, locally sourced ingredients-transformed into modern British dishes that are as visually striking as they are flavorful.

What makes The Set different is its tasting menu format, which invites diners to enjoy a curated progression of dishes. Each course is a small work of art, thoughtfully composed with a strong emphasis on textures and balance. During my visit, the highlight was a beautifully plated duck dish-perfectly cooked, paired with pickled plum and a silky celeriac purée. The vegetarian options also shine, with imaginative combinations like charred leeks with miso and heritage carrots.

One of the restaurant’s strengths lies in its intimate setting and open kitchen concept, which allows diners to observe the culinary craft firsthand. This enhances the sense of connection between the food and its makers, reinforcing the authenticity and care behind every plate. Service is attentive without being intrusive, and the team is eager to explain each course and answer questions about sourcing or technique.
