Pearly Cow

I recently tried the Sunday roast at @pearlycowbrighton a stunning seaside venue that opened last year, taking Brighton by storm-for good reason

Their Sunday menu offers two or three courses, including starter, roast dinner, and dessert. Having dined here before and thoroughly enjoying it, I was eager to see if their roast lived up to the same high standard

To start, I had the Trio of Tacos, featuring Cod & Crab, Dill-Cured Salmon, and Roasted Red Pepper with Goat’s Curd. Each bite was bursting with flavour and so delicious. We also shared the signature Pearly Cow Beef Tartare, which I had on my last visit and loved. Once again, it did not disappoint—a standout dish. I then chose the Rolled Porchetta Roast, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Unlike pork belly, it had minimal fat and the crispy crackling on the outer edge was the perfect touch. The Yorkshires were huge, and the sharing sides- roast potatoes, vegetables, and cauliflower cheese were excellent. I particularly appreciated that cauliflower cheese was included as a standard side. My friend ordered the Wagyu Beef, which was cooked perfectly—super tender and full of flavour. Overall, this was a high-quality roast that I would happily have again. For dessert, I went with the Truffle, which I absolutely loved. The combination of pistachio, white chocolate, raspberry, and custard shouldn’t work-but somehow does. A beautifully balanced, indulgent way to end the meal

Beyond the food, Pearly Cow offers a truly special dining experience. The seaside setting is stunning, and does an amazing job creating an atmosphere that feels both sophisticated and welcoming. The cocktail menu is excellent, the wine list is extensive, and the bar area is perfect for a pre-dinner drink. While the set menu is on the pricier side compared to other roast options in Brighton, the exceptional quality and the beautiful venue make it worthwhile. Plus, it’s great to know they offer a fantastic kids’ menu, and children U6 eat free-a huge bonus! I’ll definitely be returning with my little ones for a family meal soon. @pearlycowuk

I was invited to try this one. As always, all opinions are my own.
