The Terrace at Pearly Cow Brighton

Seafront Terrace opens for Summer at Pearly Cow, Brighton

Seafood, Wagyu burgers, oysters and sliders will all be part of The Terrace by Pearly Cow, Brighton from Friday, 2nd May.

Bringing a taste of decadence with laid-back seaside charm to the Kings Road stretch of the city’s shoreline, this new menu will also offer zesty tacos, small plates, salads and a selection of pizzettes freshly made in the terrace’s wood-fired oven. Towering sharing platters of Fruits de Mer and Pearls of the Sea will be the menu’s showstoppers. To sip, guests can choose from a curated selection of wines and summer spritzes — including a Berry Spritz with Lillet Rosé and cassis and a Limoncello Spritz. Adding an extra touch of glamour, the terrace will offer an exclusive Magnum Service that will include Whispering Angel Provence Rosé and Sussex’s celebrated Ridgeview Bloomsbury NV.

Head Chef Andrew Mackenzie commented “The Pearly Cow terrace is more than just a place to eat—it’s a celebration of Brighton’s coastal lifestyle. We’ve designed the menu to be playful, shareable and above all, delicious. We hope views of the sea and West Pier, will make the al fresco dining experience even more special.”

Open daily from 12 noon til late.

“Pearly Cow is about treating yourself. It's a break from the everyday. It’s the feeling of finding a pearl in an oyster shell. It’s a bit of magic. Oh, and our chips will change your life.” Andrew MacKenzie

Lunch and dinner celebrate standout, seasonal ingredients from the countryside and coastline, skilfully and playfully brought to life with classic interpretations, sharing dishes and desserts. On Sundays, the Pearly Cow roast comes with all the traditional trimmings, but with modern touches. The eclectic menu of fantastic dry-aged steaks and the freshest fish from south coast day boats are cooked simply on open-flame or served raw on ice.    

There’s more to Pearly Cow than the food though – the drinks deserve equal billing. Peruse the cocktail menu with a signature classic or twisted cocktail from mixology maestro Josh Williams and start with snacks while you wait such as lobster, apple and fennel tacos; wagyu beef and mustard soy glaze skewers or a plate of Lindisfarne oysters and freshly baked bread with salted beef dripping butter.

For starters choose from the small plates menu or dishes on ice, such as scallop cured in yuzu and cucumber; 45-day aged fillet of beef tartare, Exmoor caviar, oyster cream and charred sourdough; chargrilled octopus and romesco sauce or garlic roast ceps on toast and poached hens’ egg.

Fire takes centre stage for the main courses with 45-day salt-aged steaks with a choice of sauces or butters, wood fired lobster with parsley and dill butter or wild mushroom risotto with British truffle.

A standout section of the menu are Pearly Cow’s sharing dishes, including the soon-to-be signature Seafood Platter with lobster, mussels, langoustine, soft shell crab, wood fired scallop and seaweed aioli; a celebratory 36ooz salt-aged Côte de Boeuf with bone marrow butter or a quarter rolled Suckling Pig.

For a final flourish to a sensational feast, finish with a wonder-filled sweet treat with classics such as rice pudding with caramelised cobnuts and poached sultana; egg custard tart and nutmeg ice cream; a killer banoffee soufflé with toffee ice cream that will soon become a non-negotiable order for many dining at Pearly Cow, or a plate of perfectly kept Sussex cheeses served with walnut & raisin bread and chutney.

Ready to tuck in? We are.
