Aggressively boring. Dendy deli is abysmally daggy. trapped in a time warp from the early 1980’s, there’s nothing bad about dendy deli, per-se, but nothing much good either. Food offerings are very much ‘meh’ and the sort of stock standard filler that you would find in most places. The prices however won’t rip your wallet open. It’s an old dated space, but then so too is the rest of the dendy complex. For some people this a good thing, as, granted, dendy deli is not too pretentious. it just seems a little tired.

Great place for coffee and cake before or after the movie at the Dendy Brighton nearby. I have been coming here for years and staff know me(is that a good thing?). Great range of cakes and a large variety of meals if you are looking for something more substantial. There are booths along the walls for groups(up to ten really close friends), tables for two and four inside and out, and an area out the back. Table service(though out the back is out of sight of the main area so you will need to attract attention). This is a ‘casual’ café — if you are looking for ‘silver service’ then this being Brighton there are lots of other establishments in the area(with the price tags to match).

I just don’t get this place? It’s hard to miss on Church St in Brighton and has a huge indoor/outdoor setting where you have a hope that it’s going to be good. There a bad colours and lighting inside though where it’s reminiscent of an American Diner. Are they going for this feel? It’s not a café really, it’s not really a restaurant either and it’s not really a bar? What is it? I’m not too sure but the menu is massive trying to appeal to too many different types of people or occasions where it being open really late doesn’t appeal to me at all. It’s too expensive and there is no life in there so I think most people walk away confused and unsure what reason they sat down.
