umi open new Brighton seafront restaurant; umi grill

BY Rachael

Adjoined to the umi Brighton hotel, the new umi grill serves British meats and fish cooked on a flame grill.  The City of Brighton & Hove has an eclectic collection of cuisine available but not many restaurants serve this style of food.  With prime British beef steaks from just £9, it’s set to be a popular seafront dining choice.

“The umi grill is built from the desire to offer great value British produce cooked on a grill and served simply for everyone to enjoy.  Along with my team, I researched the restaurants that are currently on the seafront and talked to our hotel guests and felt that a grill would be the ideal type of restaurant for the location.” said owner Steve Lowy.  “We plan to work with Brighton and Hove City College, just as we have done in the hotel, to offer opportunities for young apprentices both front and back of house.  This restaurant will be simple and fun, catering for the varied crowd that is Brighton seafront.” 

The restaurant caters for both children and vegetarians and is open until 10pm daily.  Umi grill can provide special offers for large groups and also has an area available for private hire.  To book, call 01273 749651 or visit www.umigrillbrighton.co.uk
