We are regulars at the Big Beach Cafe and have just used Dan and the team to cater our team event for thirty people over three days in our new offices. The food was amazing. We had several people with very specific dietary requirement and they were all very well looked after. Bob was on hand all day from breakfast to early evening drinks and treated us royally. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Superb work, thank you Big Beach Cafe.

Drove up from Southampton. Had a super crispy chicken Burger and cheesy chips. Some nice bits of Fat boy Slim's on the walls. Staff friendly and service was good. Would pop in again.. lovely walk along the promenade..

I recently had a private 40th birthday party at BBC. Peter (GM) was very accommodating with my requests, and a great mixture of professional and personable. Owner (Dan) went to lengths to sort out a soundsystem on the night when the in built one failed to work - and cooked some really delicious pizzas. Brook(e) and the bar staff were great! Fantastic place for a party, I had a night to remember.

Such a nice cafe and great that they have built the New cycle, skatepark next door. The cafe is not too expensive, which is refreshing for Brighton and appreciated by families, when there are a lot of you! There are two entrances, so lots of kids and people rushing around. So its an in and out kind of place. Which suits all the activities going on.
