About Us

This is our Brighton blog

Brighton, the city where everything that could go wrong… does. Council complaints, overpriced coffee shops, and crowds that seem to have zero regard for personal space. If you’ve ever wondered why this city, which is so “charming,” has so many problems, you’re not alone. We’re here to tell you exactly what’s wrong with Brighton, the things people are too polite to mention.

You won’t find any of that “best of Brighton” nonsense here. We’re not going to recommend overpriced eateries or trendy “hidden gems.” No, we’re telling you about the chaos that makes Brighton a nightmare to navigate. From the constant buzz of people who think they’re part of something bigger to the endless roadworks, it’s not as glamorous as the tourists make it seem.

Events

Food & Drink

Brighton’s food scene is always “award winning” until you actually try to get a table. Long queues, sold out specials, and coffee that costs more than my weekly shop!
