Two head chefs join forces at New Brighton Bar and Lounge

New Brighton Bar and Lounge, on Victoria Road, has recruited Alex Moody, former head chef of The Pilot Boat, to join head chef Jay — with a new menu created by the pair.

The restaurant, bar and events space has had a busy January thanks to the new "dream team" in the kitchen.

The new food offering is available 12-8pm Wednesday to Friday, 9am-8pm Saturday and 9am-6pm — with breakfasts at weekends, a pub classic menu, a Jay and Alex Specials menu and a Sunday roast menu.

On the classics menu you’ll find hearty pub dishes such as fish and chips, gammon and steak pie, alongside sandwiches, wraps, pizzas, burgers and loaded fries.

The Jay and Alex Specials menu, features gastro dishes such as sirloin steak, filo pastry and fillet of cod, whilst the Sunday roast menu is now available on Wednesdays too.

The restaurant and bar offers free venue hire for special occasions such as birthdays and baby showers and can seat up to 75 people for private dining — with a hotel upstairs for party guests.

Manager Su said: "Since joining us just over a year ago, Jay has done a fine job as head chef.

"To have Alex come on board too is amazing, as he has such a fantastic reputation locally. They’re a dynamic duo and we’ve got such great kitchen team here now who are all passionate about serving top quality food."

New Brighton Bar and Lounge still offers all the live sport and live music on Friday and Saturday nights.

Su added: "We’re very popular for events and have a fair few weddings and parties booked in for 2024.

"It’s the ideal venue for a celebration as it’s a large space with nice décor, has great food and drink and a hotel upstairs for guests to stay.

"Food is very much at the heart of what we do and with Alex now on board we’re a dream team and a top quality New Brighton destination."
