Brighton’s newest beachfront café, backed by legendary DJ Fatboy Slim, has come under fire from visitors over its eye-watering prices and frustratingly long wait times. The venue, which promised a trendy seaside dining experience, is now facing a wave of criticism from both locals and tourists.
Pricey Plates and Endless Waits
Patrons have taken to social media to vent their frustrations, with many complaining about paying premium prices for what they describe as "average" food and drinks. One disgruntled customer claimed they waited nearly 45 minutes for a simple coffee and sandwich, only to be charged over £15 for the privilege.
Mixed Reactions from Locals
While some Brighton residents are excited about the celebrity-backed addition to the seafront, others argue that the café’s pricing is out of touch with the city’s laid-back, inclusive vibe. "It’s a shame," said one local. "Brighton has always been about great food at fair prices—this feels like a tourist trap."
Will Fatboy Slim Respond?
So far, neither Fatboy Slim nor the café’s management has publicly addressed the backlash. With the summer season in full swing, it remains to be seen whether adjustments will be made to win back disappointed customers.
