Out of Town: Juniper, Arundel
I made a trip to Arundel recently to check in on a couple of Brighton expats. Matt Price, formerly head chef of The Coal Shed has opened The Townhouse restaurant with rooms with his wife Jennifer. They are doing great things there; the ten course tasting menu is brillliant. While we were in town, we took the opportunity to have breakfast at Juniper cafe and bakery. One of the partners there is chef and baker Ollie Darby, formerly of Wild Flor in Hove (I hope you got to try his dish of veal sweetbread, peas, almonds and sherry cream sauce while he was cooking there, it was historically good.)
We were so impressed with our egg and bacon focaccia sandwiches (pictured above. I mean, just look at the rise on that! The crust and crumb were perfect; I’m not sure I’ve ever had better) that we took home a loaf of their sourdough (house bread at The Townhouse; it is superb) as well as some custard doughnuts, purely for research purposes of course. We are looking forward to returning to try their regualrly changing lunch menu that includes the likes of crab tagliatelle with courgette and basil. They also serve set menu dinners on evey third Thursday of the month. One for your diaries.

OctoberBest is an annual restaurant festival which is directly linked to the Brighton’s Best Restaurants Dome Award winners of that same year. Winners of One, Two and Three Domes, as well as those awarded a Local Favourite rating are invited to participate. During one designated fortnight in October, each restaurant offers diners a special menu which best showcases their food. It’s a great opportunity for restaurants to attract new customers, and for diners to try somewhere new at a discounted price.
Food reviews are essential as they provide insights into dining experiences. They help consumers choose restaurants that meet their expectations and can influence a restaurant's reputation. Positive reviews can attract more customers, while negative ones can prompt improvements in service and quality.
