Before our doors officially open on 1st November, we need your help. Swing by during our soft launch, anytime from 17th-31st October and enjoy 50% off your food. It's walk-in only so just pop in for breakfast, lunch or dinner. See you there.
A salute to the permit rooms of Bombay, in Brighton’s Lanes.
Seriously good bar snacks, moreish curries, plates for sharing (and a handful of best Dishoom favourites). Breakfasts too.
And of course, crackingly good cocktails to wash it all down with.
Swinging by the morning after the night before? There’s a Bacon Naan Roll with your name on it.
We’re kicking back like Bombayites. In 1949, liquor was banned in the city and enterprising Aunties secretly served drinks from their front rooms, a boiled egg vendor stationed outside as a sign for those who knew. By the 1970s the law was loosened up, and permit holders (having obtained their liquor permits ‘for the preservation or maintenance of health’ no less) could buy alcohol. Permit Rooms were officially born.
No matter the hour or shuffling mood at this Permit Room - just come as you are.

Come freely. Go freely.
Permit Room is mostly for walk-ins - so come and grab your seats.
We hold a few tables for reservations and, if you’re with a big group, it’s best to book in advance. You and your party may be spread across a few tables that are pretty close together - in one, happy-go-lucky section. For questions about bookings, chat with our team.

From DJ nights curated by our friends at Going South, to shindigs with local musicians, there’s an eclectic events mix at the Permit Room. We’re taking cues from the jam sessions at Slip-Disc and Rang Bhavan in 70s Bombay, as well as from everything Brighton’s got to offer.
Our address is 32 East St, Brighton, BN1 1HL. We’re right next to the Sussex Arms.
Permit Room is its own special thing, but you'll find some of your Dishoom favourites on the menu.
We’re 0.7 miles away from Brighton station - around a 13 minute walk.
We like walk-ins but bookings for larger groups and special events are welcome too. Feel free to send us an email at hello@permitroom.co.uk to ask about this.
You can hang out with your canine friends at Permit Room at all times.
Absolutely. Help us help you by letting us know of all dietary needs and allergies beforehand (especially the more serious ones). For any questions before you swing by, get in touch via email or chat.
We’re an all-day bar-café, with a bunch of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks on the menu, so you're welcome to come along, grab a seat and try them out. But we always recommend a few snacks to enjoy alongside.
Yes – when we said round-the-clock deliciousness, we meant it. Use the Deliveroo app to dispatch delights from our delivery kitchen, straight to your door. (But check that we deliver to your area first.)
Press the chat bubble (bottom right hand corner) to get to someone sharpish 10am – 5pm daily. Or call us during the same hours. Email if you like too.
