Riddle and Finns Brighton

Beast Films created a cinematic brand film for Brighton’s iconic seafood destination, capturing the atmosphere, rhythm, and ritual that define Riddle & Finns. Known for its champagne and oyster bars, refined cocktails, and prime locations in The Lanes and along the seafront, the film focuses on experience rather than explanation.

Shot with a natural, observational approach, the film moves between the intimacy of the candle-lit interiors and the open air of Brighton’s coastline. Fresh oysters are prepared, champagne is poured, cocktails are mixed, and plates arrive with quiet confidence. The camera lingers on texture, light, and movement — hands at work, glasses catching reflections, sea air drifting through open doors.

Rather than presenting the restaurant as a static space, the film treats it as a living environment shaped by pace and mood. Day shifts into evening, the energy subtly changes, and the bar becomes a social focal point — elegant but unforced. The sea is ever-present, grounding the film in place and reinforcing the restaurant’s connection to Brighton itself.

The result is a brand film that communicates quality, character, and atmosphere without overt messaging. It positions Riddle & Finns as both a destination and a moment — where seafood, champagne, and cocktails meet the city and the sea in equal measure.
