Twisting the traditional idea of a menu, Graze offer a range of small, scaled-down portions, allowing you to sample a range of dishes from an eclectic list. “It is a very modern way of eating,” says Kate, formerly manager of Kemp Town restaurant The Saint. “It’s all about the experience.”

Food at Graze is good and the service is friendly and attentive. Comfy Regency-style armchairs line the bar, where potential diners can browse the menu and admire the restaurant’s plush interior, which Kate says was inspired by a visit to the Royal Pavilion.

Each dish is a miniature meal in itself, with fresh and intense flavours artfully combined. Chef Adrian, whose cooking credentials include Blanch House and Vanilla, is a vegetarian, who ensures the menu includes plenty of well-balanced meat-free fish options. “If you are going to make fine food, you should use the finest ingredients possible,” says Kate. “We tend to use 70-80 per cent organic and locally-sourced ingredients.” “We recommend four or five dishes per person for dinner,” she continues.“We will happily help someone create their own menu and suggest which order it should be eaten in.”

A set menu is available in the evenings, offering a combination of five dishes for £25 (five vegetarian dishes costs £23.50), seven dishes for £33.90 or ten dishes for £47.50. Dishes are also priced individually from £4.50.

The menu includes lasagne of smoked eel with apple compote, black pudding and celeriac (£6.50); seared squid with chorizo and bean stew (£6.50); pheasant pie (£7.50); and roasted quail with truffle oil mash and glazed onions (£6.50).

Desserts are £4.95 (£9.50 with a glass of Muscat) and include warm rice pudding with chestnut and toffe apples.

“Our wine list is mainly European, quirky numbers,” says Kate. “The Hermit Crab is probably the most full-bodied white I have ever tried. “We like to offer more expensive wines by the glass too, so everyone can try them.”
