Whoever the coked up millennial was that thought it would be good idea to create a party room in the middle of a rooftop bar - we salute you.

Having visited this former Michelin starred haunt, which offers authentic and modern Cantonese cuisine twice, i was intrigued to see how the restaurant, which has occasionally struggled under the weight of it’s stuffy and unapproachable air, would fair in this new al fresco setting.

If the first reaction someone has when you mention you’re going to a certain restaurant is ‘oh my god, it’s so expensive there’, I find that you spend a good few days prior justifying to yourself the inordinate amount of money you’re about to spend.

The type of restaurant that opts to have its famous patrons adorning the staircase walls usually goes one of two ways – An irreverent institution that reminds you of a bygone age – like Shirley Bassey. Or an aged, slightly offensive, chain-smoking former child star clinging on to her waning beauty – like Rita Ora. So as I shimmied past signed photos of the owners with Judi Dench, Twiggy, and the drummer from Bananarama, I couldn’t help but think that English’s in Brighton would probably fall somewhere between the two.
