About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Lively
  • Innovative
At Rum Kitchen we try to honour the essence of this all day party. We don’t simply take an order, do a check back and wave our guests goodbye – we take them on a journey. We believe rum cocktails can make anyone dance, jerk BBQ is the tastiest way to cook food and our amazing DJ’s help bring the carnival soundtrack to our guests. And we do all of this with inclusivity at our heart – whether you’re a team member, a guest or an industry partner – Rum Kitchen is for everyone.

    Great cocktails but food is far from being Caribbean. LEON will have tastier jerk chicken at fraction of the price.

    NOT AUTHENTIC FOOD AT ALL! Ordered a Jerk chicken platter and couldn’t eat it. Actually gave it away to a homeless person it was so bad. Very poor food, tasted like burnt charcoal. If you’re going to advertise food as ‘Jerk’ then PLEASE actually USE Jerk seasoning. Even the server mentioned previous customers saying the food isn’t authentic. Basically Rum Kitchen Brighton isn’t for people from a Caribbean background. Go figure..

    We had a great time at rum kitchen, the drinks were amazing (especially the mai tai) and the loaded fries portion size was huge! Special thanks to the manager Joel for the friendly and fun service.

    Came to the rum kitchen while walking through the lanes. Great lunch menu offer (meal and a drink for £10) optional upgrade available. Very friendly staff and chill out vibes. Will definitely return.
