If you’ve ever wandered up Ditchling Road, past the bustling energy of the North Laine and the uphill climb toward the leafy sanctuary of Fiveways, you know there’s a different kind of magic up here. Away from the neon signs of the seafront and the corporate "craft" bars that dominate the city centre, there is a community that values substance

If you’ve spent any time on the local Brighton and Hove community groups lately, you’ll know there is a storm brewing that has nothing to do with the English Channel. The talk of the town, or rather, the talk of the Old Shoreham Road, is the proposed 24/7 McDonald’s drive-through. It’s a classic David vs. Goliath scenario, a showdown between

For a long time, "lager" was a dirty word in the world of craft beer. If you walked into a craft beer taproom five or six years ago and asked for a lager, you might have been met with a polite smirk and a suggestion to try a hazy IPA or a triple-fruited sour. Lager was seen as the industrial,

Let’s be real for a second: Chardonnay has had a bit of a PR problem. For years, it was the drink of choice for people who liked their wine to taste like a liquidised 2x4 piece of oak or, worse, that dusty, buttery bottle sitting at the back of a supermarket fridge since the late nineties. It became the "Nan

Let’s be honest: planning a party in Brighton can be a bit of a headache. You start with a simple idea: maybe a birthday, an engagement, or just a long-overdue get-together with the crew: and suddenly you’re looking at booking fees that cost more than the actual drinks. It feels a bit corporate, doesn't it? A bit "pay-to-play." At Lost and

There’s something shifting in the air, can you feel it? It’s not just the crisp breeze rolling off the Downs or the familiar hum of Fiveways on a Saturday afternoon. It’s a movement. For a long time, we’ve felt it in our bones here at Lost and Found, the idea that people are tired of the "same old, same old"

Let’s be honest: planning a party in Brighton can sometimes feel like a second job. You spend hours scouring the lanes, the seafront, and the city center, only to find that most spaces come with a price tag that would make a banker blink. Between the "booking fees," the "service charges," and the dreaded "minimum spend" that requires your Auntie

Let’s be honest: Brighton is not short of places to grab a drink. You can’t throw a pebble on the beach without hitting a pub, a bar, or a neon-lit establishment promising the "best" experience in town. But if you are a true seeker of quality, a lover of craft beer Brighton-style, and someone who values community over corporate spreadsheets,

There is a quiet revolution brewing right now across the United Kingdom. It isn’t happening in the boardrooms of multinational conglomerates, and it certainly isn't being fueled by massive marketing budgets or glossy TV adverts. It’s happening in small sheds, industrial units, and back-room kits from the peaks of Scotland to the coast of Sussex. As we hit mid-April 2026,

If you’ve picked up a newspaper or scrolled through your feed lately, you’ve probably seen the headlines. The Guardian recently laid it out in black and white: the UK hospitality industry is facing a "triple blow." Between the rise in the national minimum wage, skyrocketing business rates, and energy bills that look like phone numbers, the independent pub and taproom
