A restaurant which cooks food over a medieval wood burning fire has opened in the city.

Embers, which focuses on “creating bold flavours from locally grown ingredients” is now open in Brighton’s Lanes.

It has been opened by Brighton chefs and long-time friends Dave Marrow and Isaac Barlett-Copeland.

Everything is cooked entirely over local ash and birch wood, veering away from gas and electricity.

Isaac Bartlett-Copeland said: “It’s always been our dream to open a restaurant together and I’m so excited that this dream has finally been realised.

“We want Embers to be about big, bold flavours and the sort of restaurant we’d want to go to on our days off - it’s all about fire and friendship.”

The fire cage where food is cooked is in the middle of the restaurant so every customer can enjoy the “theatrical cooking”.
