Cin Cin: An Authentic Italian Celebration

Plan the perfect Brighton hen party dinner at Cin Cin. Enjoy handmade pasta, local ingredients, and a stylish atmosphere tailored for your celebration.

The Story

Cin Cin started its journey as a vintage Fiat van serving prosecco and snacks at events, but it quickly became clear that Brighton needed a permanent taste of their modern Italian magic. Since opening their doors in the North Laine, they have redefined what it means to eat Italian in our coastal city. It is not about heavy sauces and checked tablecloths here; it is about seasonal ingredients, open kitchens, and a palpable sense of theatre as you watch the chefs work their magic.

For a hen party looking for something a bit more refined than the usual chain restaurants, Cin Cin offers that rare blend of high-end quality and a relaxed, social atmosphere. It feels like a secret you are lucky to be in on, tucked away in the heart of Brighton’s most creative quarter. Whether you are starting your night with a few glasses of fizz or settling in for a multi-course feast, the energy here is infectious and perfectly suited for a group looking to celebrate in style

What Makes It Special

The heartbeat of Cin Cin is the open kitchen. There is something incredibly social about sitting together while the aromas of fresh basil, toasted pine nuts, and simmering ragu fill the air. The design is sleek and contemporary, with a focus on counter dining that encourages conversation and a "try everything" approach to the menu. It is stylish without being stuffy, making it the ideal spot for a Brighton hen party dinner where you want to feel special but still have a laugh.

The food itself is a love letter to Italy with a distinct Sussex twist. They use local produce to create handmade pasta that is, quite frankly, life-changing. Because the menu changes with the seasons, every visit feels like a new discovery. For larger hen groups, they offer brilliant private dining options and set menus that take the stress out of ordering, allowing you to focus on the toast and the bride-to-be while the staff whisk out plate after plate of incredible food.

"Had the most amazing evening here. The food was incredible, the service was top notch and the atmosphere was lovely. We had the 5 course tasting menu and every dish was 10/10."

Must-Try Highlights

The Handmade Pasta: This is their calling card. From silky pappardelle to stuffed tortelloni, it is prepared fresh and you can truly taste the difference.
Italian Aperitifs: Start your celebration properly with a Negroni or a crisp glass of Italian sparkling wine from their expertly curated list.
The Chef’s Terrace: If you are visiting during the warmer months, their outdoor seating offers a prime spot for people-watching in the North Laine while you dine.

Insider Tips

If you are planning a Brighton hen party dinner for a larger group, look into their "Cin Cin at Home" or private event options. They are fantastic at catering for groups and can even host you at a private venue if you have booked one of our large group houses and want the chef to come to you. If you are dining at the restaurant, I highly recommend the set sharing menus. It keeps the bill simple and ensures everyone gets to try the star dishes without any "food envy" across the table. Be sure to book at least a few weeks in advance, as this is one of the most popular spots in the city for locals and visitors alike.
