The Ginger Fox

Recently, I had the pleasure of enjoying a post-Christmas meal with friends at the charming @gingerfoxbrighton in Pycombe, just a quick 10-minute drive from Brighton. This beautiful, cottage-style venue exudes a warm, family-friendly atmosphere while consistently delivering outstanding food. It’s the perfect spot for cozy winter days by the fire or, in sunnier weather, for relaxing in their stunning garden with a drink while the kids enjoy the playground nearby. Truly, this place ticks all the boxes

While I often visit The Ginger Fox for their exceptional Sunday roasts, this time we explored their winter à la carte menu, which offered some fantastic options. I chose the special of the day: the Redland Farm Beef Burger served with duck fat chips. It was everything you’d hope for—comfort food done exceptionally well, as is the case with all their dishes. My friend opted for the Vegetarian Tasting Plate, a beautifully curated selection featuring Celeriac Soup with Puff Rice and Cheddar, a Marmite Muffin, and a Camembert Croquette paired with Apple Chutney, Orange, Walnuts, and a Frisée Salad. It was a unique and thoughtfully composed dish that they thoroughly enjoyed. The kids’ menu was another highlight, offering a variety of dishes that satisfied all four children in our group. Each meal included a drink and a scoop of ice cream, leaving everyone happy and content

What stands out most about The Ginger Fox is its ability to combine a homely, inviting ambiance with a high standard of food and service. The seasonal menu changes regularly, and their roasts remain some of the best I’ve had. It’s always a pleasure to visit, and I’m already looking forward to more wonderful experiences here in 2025
