Parts of The Lanes – Brighton’s famous passageways filled with restaurants, shops and jewellers – date back to the late 16th century. Among them is this restaurant run by two friends who aim to serve accessible, straightforward dishes with a focus on big, bold flavours. Wood-fired cooking is their main method of doing this, with everything from pork to potato getting a dose of smoky flavour.

Tucked away deep within the maze-like Lanes, this joint venture from two well established Brighton chefs, Isaac Bartlett-Copeland (Isaac At) and Dave Marrow (Terre à Terre), sees the pair cooking every dish on the menu on a Medieval-style fire cage over kiln-dried ash and birch wood. The vibe in this intimate venue is buzzy and informal, the interiors themed around charcoal walls, grey rock plates and smoke-effect cutlery, and quirky features including wall-mounted charred cross sections of tree trunk, stacks of firewood and a long industrial-style banquette backed with gridiron. A gentle smokiness fills the air, and diners have the option to eat at the kitchen counter overlooking all the open-fire theatrics.

A joint venture by local chefs Dave Marrow (Terre à Terre) and Isaac Bartlett Copeland (Isaac At), Embers is deliciously warm and glowing, the air full of the sweet scent of smouldering birch and ash – thanks to the fire cage in the centrepiece kitchen. Charcoal walls and chunky wood tables complement the cooking-over-fire vibe, while a seat at the counter is the best place to view the action.

A restaurant in the Lanes that specialises in wood fire cooking with a vaguely Middle Eastern bent to proceedings (Zhoug? Check. Labneh? Check. Dukhah? Check) and some truly excellent cocktails?. With Burnt Orange just around the corner and only a paragraph previous, Brighton’s culinary cognoscenti might be forgiven for wondering whether this was all strictly necessary when Embers opened almost exactly a year ago. But scratch the surface just a little and you’ll find a very different proposition here, and one that’s refreshingly unique from its peers in close proximity.

Brighton chefs Dave Marrow and Isaac Bartlett-Copeland have joined forces to open Embers, a new restaurant celebrating Sussex produce, cooked over wood fire. In Brighton’s atmospheric Lanes, the menu is focused on creating bold flavours from locally grown ingredients, cooked entirely on a medieval wood-fire cage over embers in the centre of the restaurant. Having cooked in some of Brighton’s best kitchens, including Terre à Terre and Isaac At, the chefs’ joint endeavour is built around a short list of tasty flame-licked dishes designed for sharing.

What: With a name like Embers, you can bet this open fire restaurant serves up some seriously smoky dishes!.

All are served with skillet roasties, cauliflower cheese puree, roasted carrots, charred broccoli, hispi cabbage and a sage and onion crumb.

When the folk behind the long-standing experimental restaurant, Isaac At, decided it was time to move on, they opened Embers shortly after, in a wonky characterful building along a historic cobbled street in The Lanes. Here, it’s all about faultless small plates cooked over fire and cocktails. Even non-tequila fans rave about the Cadillac Jo’ Margarita, made with smoky mezcal, chilli, and citrus.
