A New Autumn Menu

Seasonal Small Plates to Share

Autumn has its own rhythm at Burnt Orange. The air turns cooler, the evenings draw in, and the kitchen leans into warmth. Chef Pete has taken the best of the season’s produce and placed it over fire. The new menu is a mix of arrivals and old favourites: plates to share, always with a well-made drink in hand.

Every meal starts with the kind of dish that sets the tone. This season, it’s Charred Squash Hummus with Sage & Smoked Medjool Date, served with wood-fired flatbread and sesame brown butter. Tear, dip, share; it’s simple, seasonal, and perfectly Burnt Orange. From there, watch the season unfold with Buffalo-Style Harissa Parsnips with Chive & Artichoke “Aioli,” Buffalo Mozzarella with Winter Tomato and Green Olive.

Wood-Fired Autumn Dishes in Brighton

The fire always takes centre stage here. This autumn, it fuels dishes like Glazed Duck Breast with Apricots and Hot & Sour Chicory Salad, BBQ Pork Collar with Sesame & Fermented Radish, and BBQ Grey Mullet with Jerk Crab Curry & Pickled Persimmon. These are plates made to linger over, the kind that keep the wine flowing and the conversation alive.

Burnt Orange Signatures That Stay

And while new dishes set the season’s tone, there are some you’ll always find on the table. Not everything changes; some plates have just become a part of who we are. The Smoked Lamb Shoulder Cigars with Padrón Yoghurt, the Smoked Miso Aubergine with Crispy Onions and Sour Cream, and the Skillet-Baked Potatoes with Herb Cream and Sheep’s Cheese. These are the dishes you come back for, the ones that make Burnt Orange feel like home.

Our autumn menu balances discoveries with familiar favourites. Dishes that move with the season, and those that stay as signatures. All built around wood-fired flavour, made for sharing, and best enjoyed with good company.
