My Favourite Eatery

You probably already know of my love for Bellota's Bar y Tapas in Brighton. Well, I was there again yesterday with my brother Dave and friends Graeme and Lesley. We kicked of the day with a couple of beers at The Evening Star pub in Surrey Street before making our way to Bellota's.

Three tapas from the lunchtime menu is seriously as much as one can eat and a snip at just £9.95. And the house red at £17.25 a bottle is good value for an excellent tempranillo. 

All in all this was another very enjoyable day with great company.

The Best Pub in Brighton

I spent a pleasant day on Thursday at our regular Lunch Club. I usually travel by bus into Brighton, the 38 route takes me to the back of Brighton mainline station. The approach to the terminus is on a gentle curve, reflected in the contour of the roof.

The main concourse has had a makeover and is open and bright.

From the main entrance it is a short walk to Surrey Street and the location of the best pub in Brighton: the Evening Star, which is owned by Dark Star brewery and serves a range of its ales plus several guest beers.

My brother Dave and good friend Graeme and I then took a brisk walk to Bellota's Bar y Tapas where we joined Lesley for lunch at our favourite eatery. Delightful, bright interior, excellent Spanish beers and wine and a wonderful selection of tapas.
