Where to find us

About Us

Tallow was born from a love and career of cooking, and Brighton’s buzzing food scene. Our name nods to tradition, but our food is anything but old-fashioned.

We keep it simple: use what’s fresh and cook it over coals. Menus shift with the seasons, and how we’re feeling, and everything’s sourced as close to home as possible.

A big part of that is working with people who share our values. Our butcher, Barfields, are champions of free-range, naturally reared meat - sourcing from small farms in Sussex and nearby counties. They’re committed to quality, and so are we.

We’re passionate about celebrating local produce, and proud to bring the best of Sussex to your table - straight from field (or farm) to fire, to plate.

We’re for the pint-sippers, the wine drinkers, the food-chasers, and anyone who wants more than just “something quick.” If you care where your food comes from and you like a bit of smoke with your flavour, you’re in the right place.

Menus

Our menus change constantly - shaped by the seasons, the suppliers, our mood and whatever’s best over the coals that week.

One week it’s steak on a stick with salsa verde, the next it’s our XL beef dog and coal-roasted corn. No static menu, no shortcuts - just fire, flavour, and the best Sussex has to offer.

For private hire, you can build a bespoke spread with us - picking dishes from past favourites, current menus, or something brand new.
