The Ginger Pig

It’s safe to say roast season is officially upon us! With the temperature dropping and the weather unable to make up its mind, I’m not complaining, it’s the perfect excuse to dive into some of Brighton’s best Sunday roasts. And @gingerpighove (part of the @thegingermanrestaurant and @theflinthouse group) is definitely up there with the very best.

The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a welcoming atmosphere that caters brilliantly to families. Our kids absolutely loved their beef roast (though there are plenty of kid-friendly alternatives for little ones who aren’t into roasts). We went for the pork belly, which was cooked to absolute perfection, tender, flavourful meat with just the right balance of fat and a satisfyingly crisp crackling. Of course, we couldn’t resist ordering the pigs in blankets too, made by the local @brightsausco . They were superb, locally sourced, delicious, and a huge hit with the kids.

The Sunday menu also features a tempting range of starters and snacks, which we skipped this time but have enjoyed before, always a fantastic start to the meal. While we waited, we shared some housemade sourdough baguette with whipped brown butter, which was simply delightful, especially alongside a carafe of Vermentino.

All in all, it was a gorgeous meal from start to finish. If you haven’t tried a roast at The Ginger Pig yet, add it straight to the top of your list, you won’t regret it. Perfect for families, friends, or anyone looking for a top quality Sunday roast. Just make sure to book ahead, it fills up fast, and for very good reason!
