VIB Tour ticks all the boxes for a top notch day out!

Published on May, 2025

Well, what an absolutely brilliant day! As lifelong Brightonians, I thought between myself and my two friends, we pretty much knew most eateries in Brighton. I was wrong! We were taken to some marvellous places we hadn’t been to before (by the very knowledgeable Ashley), met the hosts (who told us about their ethos and shared their passion for their food/produce), learnt some interesting facts about Brighton and had the most incredible food. Also, as someone who is gluten free, I was catered for perfectly. I can’t recommend the VIB tour highly enough.

A must do foody tour

Published on May, 2025

Simone was a fun and interesting guide mixing history, myths and general knowledge during our excellent foody tour around Brighton. We tasted an eclectic mix of food from various Brighton independent providers from a sausage roll stall in the Open Market to vegan sushi in the North Laine then some Sussex cheeses paired with English rosé wine and a veggie feast at a well known BTN landmark restaurant. We concluded this really interesting tour with homemade ice cream on the sea front! What are you waiting for? Sign up today!!

Well worth the tour to find previously unknown local independent eateries just outside the main touristy area.

Published on May, 2025

The tour was well paced and our guide Gill very knowledgeable. We visited 7 different venues and had a variety of different foods. One of the venues we would never have visited on our own but we really enjoyed the food. We went back to another place after we finished the tour and bought food to take home for the weekend. Visiting small independent places was perfect and we will be returning to a few, probably introducing friends to them too. Although we walked a fair distance it was all in short stages with rest time when we ate. I had been concerned about maybe being a bit slow, but it wasn't an issue.

Amazing foodie tour!

Published on Apr, 2025

A brilliant tour today with Mark and Ashley. Both were very knowledgeable and welcoming and the tour gave us a unique perspective of Brighton. Food was plentiful, delicious and a wide variety. It was amazing to meet the independent vendors and hear their stories. Would definitely recommend!

Fed and entertained.

A wonderful three hours, led by Claire. Learned a lot, tried fabulous food and felt reconnected to all the independent foodmakers who deserve support and recognition.
