    Peggs and Son

    Posted by lollyjoy 29 May 2009

    Beautiful shop, amazing clothes and the most helpful staff I have ever come across. Can't wait to get down to Brighton again for a cheeky weekend away just so i can spend some money in here again.

    A day out in Brighton

    Posted by RFentam 23 October 2008

    Start off at Bill's Produce Store on North Road, where you can enjoy colourful platefuls of homemade pizza, quiche and salad in a huge room lined with delicious-looking preserves, pickles and other goodies. You'll be near North Laine now, so go for a post-lunch potter amongst the shops selling anything from vegetarian shoes to kooky sex toys.

    If you have any space left after Bill's, a visit to the Bar du Chocolat on Middle Street is a must. Run by the iconic Brighton confectioners Choccywoccydoodah (Duke Street), the hot chocolate is top rate. For one last gastronomic treat, make sure you book a table at Terre a Terre, one of the top vegetarian restaurants in the country, and one of the few to serve up 'haute cuisine' vegetarian food. After all that indulgence, Sunday morning can be a bracing walk along the seafront towards Hove, past the dejected looking West Pier and towards the ice-cream coloured beach huts.

    Bites in Brighton

    Posted by Lorenza 23 October 2008

    Try Bill's Produce Store for a spot of lunch. It’s ‘the in place’ at the moment but it still feels very genuine. Good prices, friendly service. The North Laines area is also worth a visit particularly for last-minute funky presents. The new library building should also be seen (Carluccio’s café and shop is just around the corner too).

    The coolest boutique jewellery shop in Brighton. Loved the jewellery and loved the shop. Pure class and the staff made the visit even more wonderful.

    John Harrington Jewellers

    Posted by kinkyribbon 29 May 2007

    My boyfriend and i recently discovered this contemporary jewellers opposite the dome in brighton. As a designer myself it is truely inspiring and the new cherub and heart pendants are at the top of my birthday list. Apparently they've very recently oppened the first floor and like the rest of the shop it is worth checking out for the interior alone!

    Harlequin Vintage

    Posted by frockstar 5 July 2006

    A gem of a shop. Gorgeous vintage pieces in a treasure trove of a shop with lovely staff. I cannot walk past without going in (and always leave with something truly special).

    The One 40 Five Store

    Posted by Wido 5 July 2006

    In a town with more clothes shops than I can cope with this place stands out for a couple of reasons. The selection of labels includes hard to find bits from Silas, PAM and more affordable brands. But what really makes this store stand apart for me is the inviting relaxed atmosphere, a rare thing amongst streetwear orientated stores.

    Bill's Produce Store

    Posted by pyranha 5 July 2006

    Upmarket greengrocers and, more importantly, cafe/restaurant. Some simple and some not-so-simple fare, prepared with the freshest ingredients; and the puddings! They look like they've been designed by an architect and are a meal in themselves. Shared tables and friendly staff mean that this is a place to meet people, eat well and go away with a little treat for later (they do takeaways too).

    The Depot, 100 North Road.

    Vegetarian Shoes!

    Posted by Charlie123 30 June 2006

    Loads of shoes not made from leather, a bit pricey but they look and feel great! Sandals, work shoes, DMs and more.

    Gardner Street basically opposite Komedia, and near the pavilion.

    Small wooden hut selling genuinely fresh fish at good (but not great) prices. Not just a salesman, his knifework was exemplary. The two fillets extracted from an enormous seabass were absolutely delicious later that evening.

    Far better to give your custom here than at the Tesco megabore on Church Road. And there is no chance of getting fish that fresh from the supermarkets.

    Literally on the beachside directly behind the Bowls club at Hove. About 100 yards west of the King Alfred Sports Centre. A small wooden sign points the way down the footpath from Kingsway, between 2 of the bowling greens

    The Lanes and the Laine

    Posted by SimonHoggart 2 September 2005

    The Lanes are another fantastic free attraction with their curiosity and antique shops. The North Laine, spelled differently for some reason, is another quite extraordinary place - it's a kind of hippy Ground Zero for Britain. You could spend a day wondering around here and the prices are extremely low.
