The Laughing Dog

Always on the lookout for new brunch spots, I recently visited @laughingdogbrighton in Brighton, and it’s definitely one worth adding to the list. With locations in both Brighton and Worthing, it’s a great option for a relaxed and delicious meal

The Brighton café is located at the Marina and comes with a gorgeous little shop attached, selling locally made gifts, art, homeware, and more. The space itself is bright and spacious, with plenty of outdoor seating that’s perfect for sunnier days. The menu is extensive, offering everything from hearty brunch plates to lighter lunch options. I was particularly intrigued by their build your own Buddha Bowl, where you can choose your protein, carb, and salad combination but since it was brunch time, I couldn’t resist exploring their new breakfast dishes

To start, we had a Brown Sugar Iced Latte made with their homemade syrup, sweet, refreshing, and perfect for a warm, sunny day. From the new menu, we tried the Strawberries & Cream Pancakes, the Hallmouinati Bap (grilled halloumi with tomato, avocado, rocket, and sriracha in a soft bap), and of course, The Laughing Dog Full English, which came highly recommended.

The food didn’t disappoint. The Full English was generous and filling, with a nice touch of balsamic glaze and mixed seeds on the side something we weren’t sure about at first, but it really worked. The pancakes were fluffy and light, topped with fresh strawberries and just the right amount of sweetness from the sauce. The bap was bursting with flavour too (a little extra dressing would have made it even better) but overall it was delicious. The whole experience was lovely, great food, a laid back atmosphere, and a welcoming space that’s ideal for lazy mornings when you don’t want to rush. The @laughingdogworthing location offers a similar vibe, so both sites are well worth a visit if you’re in the area

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