About Sam

“My new venture aims to deliver an affordable, high quality neighbourhood restaurant to a fantastic area of Brighton”

Sam Metcalfe, Owner/Head Chef, a graduate from Westminster College and with over 20 years experience, has a pedigree of several top London restaurants including 192, Kensington, The Terrace, Chez Nico, The Groucho Club, L’Escargot, and Pied a Terre. At just 21 he was appointed Head Chef at The Belvedere, Holland Park.

In 2001 Sam returned to the South Coast, his home soil, to fulfil a dream and ambition. He opened Sevendials Restaurant with a philosophy to create exquisite full flavoured dishes incorporating fresh produce served by attentive staff in stylish and welcoming surroundings.   Since opening in 2001, Sevendials Restaurant has gained a reputation for providing an exceptional dining experience, 2 AA Rosettes, inclusion in the Good Food Guide, Harden's, Time Out Guide to Eating and Drinking and Cheeky Guide to Brighton plus wonderful reviews from acclaimed critics including Jay Rayner, The Observer and Caroline Stacey, The Independent Magazine and The Telegraph.

Opening Sam's of Brighton is a natural progression for Sam and he is excited to be bringing his food to the lovely Kemp Town area of Brighton.  Sam's of Brighton is a warm, neighbourhood bistro style restaurant offering weekend brunch as well as lunch and dinner.  Fresh flowers, changing black board specials and a gallery of black and white Metcalfe family photos are just a few personal touches. 

Sam's of Brighton is a family friendly restaurant and offer a children's menu as well as baby changing facilities and highchairs if required.
