There’s much to admire about this American-style diner overlooking Brighton’s seafront; the place has rightfully gained a loyal following since opening in 2013. Sea views, outside seating and a cool interior (mixing huge photos of New York fire-escapes with comfy leather banquettes) are all part of The New Club’s charms, but it’s the cooking that gets tongues wagging. The menu is a tour de force of dude food: from slow-smoked pork belly chops in a sticky barbecue sauce, to a trio of lobster and crab sliders. The ‘dirty burger’, made with aged chuck and bone marrow in a brioche bun, is one of the best you’ll eat this side of the M25. Add an excellent weekend brunch menu, plus a good line-up of cocktails and craft beer, and it’s easy to see why the venue has become a must-visit destination for both locals and day-trippers.
