The Experience
Five tastings from local small businesses form the backbone of this walk through Brighton. You start at St. Bartholomew's Church, just five minutes from the station, and move through the city's streets and the charming Lanes with a hand-selected local guide. Each tasting comes from an independent food store or family-run eatery: the operator chooses the partners carefully, and you get the chance to buy local specialties as you go. The walk takes two hours and covers Brighton's history as a former fishing village that has become a hub for food and culture.
The tour operates rain or shine, so bring weather-appropriate gear. All fitness levels are welcome, and the pace is built around stopping to eat and talk rather than covering ground quickly. If you have food allergies or follow a special diet, let the operator know when you book so they can plan the tastings around your needs. You'll meet other travelers from around the world on the same walk.
What’s included
- Five tastings of food and non-alcoholic drinks from independent local businesses.
