Kooks Restaurant

We went here for lunch earlier in the week in a group of 7. We hadn’t booked and the very friendly staff happily shuffled some tables around for us to fit us in. As it turned out they were two members of staff down which meant the service was slow but hardly the staffs fault and they were very apologetic and still attentive which was great.
The starters were fantastic, everyone cleared their plates, the sides of pork squares deserve a particular mention as does the haddock a shreds. Delicious.
Most of us went for burgers as main courses and the burger melted in the mouth. I haven’t had a burger with quite this texture before. It made a nice change but still not quite there to take my fave Brighton burger title. One downside was the bun fell to pieces which made it pretty messy to eat (this is one of my main gripes with a burger).
Due to the take taken to get good we didn’t have time for desert which was a shame as I’m sure they were good.
Great staff, great food, will Defo be back when hopefully they will be fully staffed.

This is a cool newly opened restaurant in Brighton, the staff here were extremely friendly and helpful as myself and my friend were running very late for our booking which was kept for us for a whole hour.
The menu is small but still has a good few possible options I would of been happy to go for, to start I had the battered haddock thingys which were probably my favourite part of the meal. For the main I had to burger which was nice and my friend had the steak which was also nice. The meal was good value, the burger wasn’t the best burger Iv come across in Brighton but was still tasty. We finished with cocktails which were delicious too.
Really nice place to grab a nice meal
With lovely staff, good music and good value too.
