Review of Crazy Goose in Brighton
Crazy Goose, part of the much-loved independent Brighton born Black Rock restaurant group, has relaunched on Boyce Street and the new spot is all about sharing; Chicken to be exact. A menu built around The Charcoal Chicken Rotisserie Chicken. And what better way to enjoy chicken as the weather changes, than as part of a sharing Sunday Lunch with all the trimmings, the Crazy Goose Way.
The restaurant has been re imagined since it’s time as the groups flagship restaurant The Coal Shed. And the inside was bustling with families and friends out for Sunday Roast. The walls were painted in beautiful blue hues, with a modern yet rustic vibe. It felt cosy and welcoming. To mix things up from the traditional Roast we started with a few “fire kissed” small plates. Beginnig with the Tuna Crudo, which was served with burnt orange, soy and black lime. We paired them with the Harissa oyster mushroom skewers, and this made the perfect combination of textures and flavours. The Tuna was exceptional, with the orange making it fresh and adding a very welcome dimension.

Alongside we tried the Spiced Beef Arayes, which we went into blind, but were impressed and surprised by the delicious, well filled packages that had crispy pastry outside with a just enough spice lamb interior.
We decided to share both the rotisserie chicken and pomegranate- glazed lamb shoulder, which were served with smashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables (carrot and broccoli) and roasting tray gravy. We also couldn’t resist adding on the Ham and Cheese cauliflower cheese special.
All of it impressed, the portions were generous and we both commented that the chicken tasted of the rosterie, with the charcoal grilled taste that was tasty without being overwhelming. Even the broccoli had the charcoal taste. And better than all that, the restaurant, as many in Brighton is dog friendly. So we got to share this awesome Sunday Dinner with our very lucky (but naughty) sausage dog!
Sunday Roast’s are servived from 12pm – 6pm.
