BOOZE
FROM THE COAST WITH LOVE By Jessica Mason
Beautiful Brighton Brighton is packed with things to do at minimal cost. The shingled beaches are strewn with bars serving directly onto the shoreline, and both the Lanes and the bohemian North Laine quarters are an alfresco diner’s paradise. Even if you’ve blown all your money on your train ticket or B&B though, there are plenty of ways you can have fun out of doors. Barbecues on the coastline are completely underrated in Brighton. Possibly because there are so many 38
good places to eat and drink. In rainy weather, you can still cram yourselves under a heated stretch tent at the Bison Beach Bar on Sea Lanes on the coast of Kemp Town. Or take cover under large parasols at Lucky Beach situated between the two piers. And if the sun is shining, that’s all you need. A fold up barbecue is a great investment. There is a barbecuefriendly stretch of beach opposite Brunswick Terrace in Hove, just past the Peace Statue and the Meeting Place Café. The trick, in Brighton, is never to barbecue between the two piers where there are lots of people, children and bars. In fact, it’s not really allowed and at least certainly frowned upon. But if you wander further - towards Hove, you will see the big yellow barbecue bins dotted along the promenade near the beach railings, where you can safely jettison disposable barbecues and hot coals.
