Pearly Cow

PEARLY COW BRIGHTON MENUS

Every day is a good day at Pearly Cow and every meal is just as good. Discover our restaurant menus.

Breakfast can be light or hearty, sweet or savoury, cooked or continental, but is always much-better-than-your-usual.

Lunch and dinner celebrate standout, seasonal ingredients that hail from the South Downs and surrounding coastline, brought to life in classics, interpretations, sharing dishes and desserts. For the little ones, our Pearly Calves menu is just as special.

On Sundays, our iconic Pearly Cow roasts, traditional with modern touches, come with all the trimmings of course, and bring a beautiful close to the week.

Please note, the below menus are samples - Andrew and his team regularly update menus to reflect the changing seasons.

Please also note that Pearly Cow is a cashless restaurant and we only accept debit and credit cards as payment.
