Examples of our tasters are homemade cooking, tea, chocolate, beer, pies, crumpets, sausage rolls, cream tea, Belgian fries, exotic street food and ice cream just to name a few. These are examples only. We want to surprise you!

What Can You Expect?

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Brighton, Brighton, East Sussex, England

After a short introduction and brief about what to expect, we start our journey. This is a tour for all your senses: hear the stories from your guide, see, smell and taste the food and watch Brighton as we walk along.

Our walking food tour varies as we cover different areas at different times: the historical city centre, arty Kemptown and the hidden gem of Hove. This tour is for those travellers who like a bit of mystery and want to experience Brighton as a local rather than having all the sights ticked off. There is time for photos and questions as we walk. The landmarks listed below are examples of things to see in Brighton and not necessarily what we will visit.

Examples of tasters can exist of: cheese, meat, kombucha, kefir, street food, scones, ice cream, sweets, plant-based food and so on. Brighton is a true hub where your taste buds get spoiled!

We will make stops for photos anywhere you would like to stop.

Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes

Pass By: Brighton Dome, Pavilion Gardens Church Street, Brighton BN1 1UE England

Today the Brighton Dome is a place for art lovers and those interested in music, theatre, creative workshops and exhibitions. But once upon a time, it had a very different function. Join us to find out more. After an initial taster, we make our way to the North Laine through the Pavilion Gardens.

Pass By: Royal Pavilion, 4/5 Pavilion Buildings Pavilion Gardens, Brighton BN1 1EE England

It is hard not to see our very own 'Taj Mahal' style palace as it dominates the central city. Don't forget to bring your camera so you can feel like like a royal in front of it! This is just past the Pavilion Gardens on our way to the North Laine.

Pass By: North Laine, Between Church Street and Trafalgar Street, Brighton England

Welcome to the former Brighton slum area with a lot of arts & crafts, small independent shops and lots of colours. Get your camera ready! Also make sure you bring your appetite as we stop in the Laines for some tastings. Whether it is chocolate, pies, tea or something else, there is something for everyone.

Pass By: The Lanes, West Street, Brighton England

After we have left the Laines, we cross the main street that divides this area and the southern part of Brighton. There you will discover the origins of our city and wander around the little alleyways. In the Lanes are also some great shops and eateries where we will make a stop for a taster. Examples are sausage rolls, chocolate and pies.

Pass By: Brighton Palace Pier, Madeira Drive, Brighton BN2 1TW England

One of the main attractions in Brighton is the Brighton Pier. This is the place to be if you want to go for a ride or see Brighton from a different angle. If time allows, we will get you to our most famous landmark!

Having done many food tours over the years, this was by far the worst we have ever experienced: 1. The “guide” was very poor, and didn’t even do the basics of being a tour guide. At every stop, they said nothing when we arrived and then nothing about the food! No introduction or basic explanation, why we were there, what was interesting etc. Nothing. Even when we asked, they were not able to say anything about the food! At one stop they didn’t even know what the food was we were eating! At one venue the owner did speak to us which was nice, but at all the others we may as well have gone on our own. Oh, and 2 of the stops were closed. 2. When I complained the next day to the tour company owner, they apologised but then I was met with continuous attempts to minimise our complaints “they are an experienced guide” “they didn’t want to make too much conversation or interrupt your eating” (we didn’t get any conversation at all!). One of the stores that was closed was an “extra stop” (never explained to us at the time). After being offered a ‘free taster tour next time I visited’ (I haven’t been in 20 years), I asked for a refund which was flatly refused, and it was suggested I should have called the office to complain during the tour or simply refused to continue! So much for customer service. I strongly advise you choose a different food tour company in Brighton if you actually want to experience the added value of a tour. Doubtless the owner will respond to this review and again try to minimise my version of events or imply I am being misleading or unreasonable. I can only invite you to look at my 89 other reviews, the vast majority of which are 4 or 5 star, and ask yourself who you believe before you part with your money.

My friend and I had a great time! The food was lovely, and the tastings were more generous than I'd thought. Our guide, Sophie, was a great guide, and was quite familiar with the Brighton food scene; she also made sure to check for and accommodate allergies and preferences in advance, which I appreciated!

Wife and I enjoyed a wonderful personalized walking tour around seaside and nearby locales lead by Sophie. Interactive and knowledgeable discussion with Sophie was nice (as opposed to a lecture format or, worse, little real info at all). With advance notice, our interest in vegetarian, gluten-free food stops and interest in the Who's Quadrophenia Brighton locale was accommodated. We loved the Bird and Blend tea stop on the beach (with curated tea sampling!). This tour is recommended.
