Reading Room

@readingroombrighton located at Black Rock is already a Brighton favourite for its rustic interiors, delicious brunch and incredible seafront views, but have you experienced its evening supper clubs? Because this one was something special!

What was meant to be a five course supper club turned into an incredible EIGHT courses by the talented @vincenzo_fuccilli and honestly, what an evening! From his family table in Puglia to kitchens across Italy, Paris and Copenhagen, Vincenzo brought together the flavours that have shaped his cooking. Southern Italian roots, French finesse and Nordic influences, all served with the warmth of an Italian family table, it was a stunning menu

A few personal standouts from the evening: 🦀 BROWN CRAB MOUSSE: Espelette, nori, curry & vanilla oil, toast 🐦 STUFFED QUAIL: Chicken liver, Cumberland sausage & pistachio stuffing, braised shallots, grapes & tarragon jus 🍫 CHOCOLATE TART: Berries, passion fruit & cherry gels, vanilla ice cream. And finishing with a piña colada served in a coconut… which I didn’t get a picture of because I was having far too much of a good time! 🍹

Eight courses, a welcome drink, an elegant venue and an intimate atmosphere for just £55. Seriously reasonable and an incredible evening from start to finish.

Reading Room’s supper clubs are definitely not ones to sleep on. I’ll be keeping a close eye on their upcoming events and would absolutely recommend checking them out if you’re looking for something a little different in Brighton.
