Food Scene
The restaurant is located in the middle of Stanmer Park - not many people know about it. It's a huge country house good for lunch or a coffee. Definitely worth visiting after a walk through the park in the winter when the open fires are burning.

This is the old pier which had two fires meaning it now is not in use. It's an iconic structure in Brighton and is best seen when the sun is setting just behind it - if you are lucky the sea tide will also be going out so you can walk between the two piers on the sand!
