Went to Bincho Yakitori last night.

I know most on this thread like it there and it was absolutely cracking but three notable things to mention:

1) We took along another couple who were Bincho virgins and slightly sceptical. They absolutely loved it (favourite dishes, the cauliflower and the chicken skin were re-ordered).
2) We got the table fairly last minute as a result of a cancellation. So, much like our away tickets, always worth further checks if they're full when you initially look. And...
3) The service was absolutely superb. Our waitress was fantastic and got a large tip. Bincho has been good at this whenever we've gone but a lot of places post Covid have had high turnover and poor quality front of house. So this was noticeably better than a lot of other places I've eaten.

Oh, and with several beers, two glasses of red and three sakes between us the bill was still only £50 a head before tip.

I assume the answer will be “yes”, given it’s a restaurant in Brighton, but I’ll ask anyway as they don’t have a menu on their website…

Is there generally enough on the me I for veggies?

Seinfeld question, actually, is it the sort of joint where a well-behaved teenager won’t be out of place?

Any ideas about a venue pre-match at CC. I've been to a few pubs in the vicinity, and they're really expensive and am yet to find one with sufficient charm. So, are there any options within a 30 minute walking distance of CC? I'm thinking either of a pub that does really good distinctive food (rather than the menus that you can predict) or, alternatively, a relatively cheap (maybe Asian, etc, but don't want to restrict it to that) restaurant ideally with a few nice drinks.
