• Pizzeria • Brighton
Booked 20 times today
We started Fatto a Mano in Brighton in 2015, serving authentic and affordable Neapolitan pizza, made with fresh ingredients, in a friendly environment. For us, everything starts with our dough. Soft and pillowy, our pizza dough is made fresh every day, using only the best Italian 00 flour, salt, water and yeast. We let our dough prove for at least 24 hours – the slow proving means we’re able to use minimal quantities of yeast, so our pizzas are light and easily digestible. We use carefully selected Italian and local British ingredients from a handful of small, independent suppliers to top our pizzas. Finally, our pizzaioli cook the pizzas in our oven at about 450 degrees, for no more than 90 seconds, in true Neapolitan style.

• Thai • Brighton
Booked 5 times today
​We started Namo in 2020 from our home kitchen in Brighton. It was lockdown, and cooking became our way to stay connected: sharing real Thai food made fresh, with care and good ingredients. People welcomed what we were doing, and before long, we moved into The Eagle Pub, where Namo began to grow. The food, the energy, and the people around it gave us the confidence to dream bigger.Now, at 24 Ship Street, the food we create comes from our founder’s roots in northern Thailand from her memories, her journey, and the flavours she grew up with. Every dish tells a story, and many are ones you might never have tried before.This is Thai food as she knows it: honest, full of heart, and made to be shared.
