The Ivy in the Lanes
51A Ship Street, Brighton, BN1 1AF
About
The Ivy in the Lanes is the Brighton branch of the national Ivy Collection, occupying a converted building on Ship Street with the group's usual look of dark wood, stained glass, and globe lamps. It runs all day from breakfast through to late dinner, with a menu of shepherd's pie, salads, and a raw bar sitting alongside classic afternoon tea. It is reliable rather than surprising, which is the point for visitors wanting a familiar, well-run room in the middle of the Lanes. Booking ahead is sensible, particularly for weekend afternoon tea or Saturday dinner.
