A NEW restaurant offering fresh local produce and chef takeover evenings has opened at Brighton Marina. Taste Sussex opened for the first time yesterday in the Boardwalk, in the building which previously housed Frankie and Benny’s. The chain s marina restaurant was among the 125 sites to close across the UK last year in a bid to cut costs amid Covid-19. Chef Phil Bartley, who opened the Great British Charcuterie shop and cafe at the marina in 2016 and already runs four kitchens at pubs in Brighton, said he was excited to be launching a restaurant with business partner Steve Pineau. Phil said: We thought it would be fun to do a take on branded restaurants.
