Due South has always been a very special Brighton restaurant, with a between the piers beachfront location, quirky Victorian archway setting, and beachside terrace with perfect people watching potential and stunning views out to sea.

But what really sets it apart is its insistence on meticulously sourcing the very finest in seasonal, organic and free range ingredients from the independent producers and suppliers of Sussex. It's a real showcase for local foodstuffs and 80 percent of the menu comes from within a 35 mile radius of the beach. The menu changes monthly to reflect the seasonal availability of produce, with this month's menu featuring dishes including Ox tail terrine with smoked horseradish and homemade toasted bread, Crispy leg of wild mallard with salsify chips & a watercress salad, and Golden syrup sponge pudding with a handmade clotted cream ice cream amongst the selection of mouth watering desserts.

In 2005, it became the only venue on the beach licensed to hold weddings and civil partnership ceremonies, as well as offering business breakfasts and a private dining area, plus an extensive outside catering service, providing wedding banquets, canapé parties and private at-home dining. After a string of awards and accolades, it was named "Best Seaside Restaurant in Britain" by the Observer Food Monthly magazine and recently won the Sustainable Business Award at the Sussex Business Awards.

This is a superb place to go.

Having been around the restaurants of brighton for many years, it is wonderful to see how the bar has risen so high with players such as the Foragers and the Ginger group.

However this place is superb. It's not just that it on the seafront, has lovely views fron the top balcony over the beach or nicely slots in to a jaded little arch.

The food is consistently excellent. Sourced locally, if I recall correctly, within 35 miles of the venue, it is the highest quality and intelligently cooked. Not shying away from using unusual cuts or fish it balances these well with a confidence of flavours and presentation.

A good wine list, not overly cheap, fits the bill.

If you haven't been before go - anytime of year, summer or winter the place is wonderful.

Great location on Brighton beach and takes locally sourced food and seasonal cuisine far more seriously than most places in this town. Nice ambiance and dining area and really good local food.
