Turn Up Christmas at Burnt Orange
Christmas at Burnt Orange doesn’t fade into the background; it turns the lights down low and turns the volume up.
This year, forget the tired turkey dinners and predictable parties – Burnt Orange is here to shake up your Christmas with bold flavours, great drinks, and a soundtrack that keeps the night alive.
Long tables layered with mezze, flatbreads hitting the grill, duck breast glazed and glistening, desserts you’ll want to linger over; this is the kind of feast that keeps the whole table talking. The cocktails are strong, the wine is flowing, and the playlist knows exactly when to push the night on. From intimate dinners that feel like a secret to parties that carry you from the first toast to the last pour, Burnt Orange is where Brighton comes to celebrate Christmas.

Burnt Orange’s Festive Menus
Our festive feasting menu is designed for sharing, because the best celebrations always are.
It starts with mezze that pull you in: charred squash hummus, spiced dips, and flatbreads straight from the fire. Then come the plates built for passing around: grilled marinated king prawns, duck breast with jalapeño glaze, smoked miso aubergine, and seasonal sides that keep the table full and the glasses topped. And when you think you’ve reached your limit, dessert arrives to tempt you further with a treacle, date and cardamom tart that’s impossible to ignore. Want more? Upgrade your feast with king prawns or chicken, and take it up another level. This is food that fuels the whole night.

The Christmas Party with Music, Mood & Flavour
Christmas at Burnt Orange is a mood. Step inside from the snowy cold, and you’re met with the glow of the fire, the clink of glasses, and the kind of playlist that makes the night feel endless.
Our dining room was built for celebration, from tables of six that turn into long, lazy lunches to our private dining room for up to twelve, where the party feels just for you. Food arrives in waves, cocktails flow, and conversation builds as the lights dim and the music kicks up. This is Brighton’s most stylish spot to celebrate: intimate, electric, and full of atmosphere. A Christmas party at Burnt Orange is a date in the diary, and the one you’ll still be talking about next year.
Festive Dining with Family & Friends
Festive Dining at Burnt Orange means mezze spread across the table, flatbreads torn and shared, prawns sizzling from the grill, and cocktails that keep the conversation flowing. Whether it’s two of you tucked away or the whole gang taking over a table, the vibe is always the same: good food, good drinks, good company.
While our playlists know how to set the tone, let the feast roll out in waves with smoky dips, charred veg, and desserts made to tempt you past full. Vegetarians and vegans aren’t left behind either, with plates built to impress and keep the table buzzing. Gather your crew, raise a glass, and let Burnt Orange turn Christmas into a night worth remembering.
