First restaurant ever taken to was The Golden Egg , it was like an upmarket Wimpy , was on the corner of Ship Street and North Street
this must of been late 60s early 70s
we were still at Junior school thought it was great

Djayed many times at the Joint and the Shrine - often with the Large One, but rarely earned enough for a gutbuster at the All night diner.

My mum thought it was posh to go to the Mock Turtle opposite the ABC, especially if we were out with friends and their kids down from London. It was like children's dining hell, rock cakes and the savoury options were Welsh rarebit or sardines on toast. Whilst all the time Wimpy was serving round the corner.

I’ve been persuaded to go there occasionally by various girlfriends/ dates.

A nightmare for clumsy people like me.

So many nic-nacs and delicate china objects EVERYWHERE.

Simply taking one’s coat off comes with a hefty price tag for replacing all the ensuing breakages.

Let me take you back to the early sixties!
The Tudor bar in the basement of the Salisbury Hotel. First taste of strong German lager.
The pub crawl to be" seen in". The Druids Head"," The Sussex" and the Pickwick" all in the Lanes..
After 10.30 closing into Choys, the Nanking or the Vesuvius in Middle Street for a Dover sole supper.
No one has mentioned the Regent Ballroom.? Where half of my generation met their future wife's.
Memories, memories!

Okay. So this is interesting. Not a church but a school for poor girls and owned in the 90’s by none other than Steve Foster!…


“By 1990 it was operating as "Fozzie's Club",[16] owned by Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. player Steve Foster;[17] it later became "The Sanctuary", "The Shrine", "Club New York" and "The Church"[18][19] before being renamed "New Hero"—the name it bore until its closure in 2011.[20] “

I was going when it was The Sanctuary, The Shrine and Club NY.

Late 60s early 70s it was known as Sloopys. My mum allowed me to go aged 15 because there was no alcohol on sale. She didn't know that the stamp on your hand allowed you to visit a nearby bar and then you'd sneak back in again. Lots of Scandinavian students there which made it very popular with the boys from my school.

That's where my mum was working in the early/mid 60s - it was the meeting place in Brighton at the time
