Harden's says
A fifth restaurant from Pamela and Ben McKellar, behind The Gingerman group; this new-build site has the 50-cover restaurant at the centre, complete with roof terrace.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“Innovative, delicious and charming” – this open-kitchen with counter and sharing plates venture in the ‘New Lanes’ development is “absolutely superb”. It’s also very different from its nearby siblings in Pamela & Ben McKellar’s high-performing Ginger group, and “has really succeeded in capturing a key slice of the local market”.
Summary
“A great addition to central Brighton, but totally different to other Ginger places: almost like an English Barrafina” – the fifth opening from Pamela and Ben McKellar occupies a new-build site that has a 50-cover eatery with open kitchen and counter, complete with a “pleasant upstairs bar and roof terrace”. Not everyone’s totally converted though: “the food choices are OK, but I found the limited small plates menu made it difficult to construct a great meal”.

For 31 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

Flint House Restaurant Diner Reviews

"Sunday lunchtime. Chefs menu. Largely vegetarian. Cheap ingredients incredibly well-used. Interesting seasoning makes every dish. VERY good value. Charming service "

"What a delightful place. A warm, buzzy atmosphere, with charming staff. We had the Chef’s Menu which is small plates of shared dishes. Lots of gently preserved vegetables, interesting use of sesame(tahini and seeds). Some meat too but the veggies were the star. Overall a delightful place"
