Gingerman Restaurants to open fifth site in Brighton

Modern European restaurant group, Gingerman is to launch a 50-cover eatery, Flint House, this April.

The new standalone two-storey venue, which will feature a roof terrace, is to join the four other Sussex outlets in the firm’s portfolio: Ginger, Ginger Fox, Ginger Dog and Ginger Pig

The business was formed in 1998 by Ben McKellar (pictured), AKA the ‘Ginger Chef’, and his wife and business partner Pamela McKellar, when they launched the flagship Gingerman, which is close to the seafront.

Pamela McKellar commented, “We are very excited to be creating a new concept restaurant for central Brighton. Morgan Carn Architects have designed a beautiful flint clad centerpiece to Hanningtons Estate and we are working with Landivar to create an equally first class interior finish, with a full length kitchen bar and outside tables.”

Andrew Foulds, portfolio director at European retail real estate investment manager Redevco, which agreed the deal with Gingerman Restaurants, said, “Gingerman Restaurant Group has four existing local businesses within its portfolio and a strong Brighton following. Their philosophy is to offer really good openifood and great service, within a relaxed setting, which is perfect for the Lanes.”
