We started Fatto a Mano in Brighton in 2015, serving authentic and affordable Neapolitan pizza, made with fresh ingredients, in a friendly environment. For us, everything starts with our dough. Soft and pillowy, our pizza dough is made fresh every day, using only the best Italian 00 flour, salt, water and yeast. We let our dough prove for at least 24 hours – the slow proving means we’re able to use minimal quantities of yeast, so our pizzas are light and easily digestible. We use carefully selected Italian and local British ingredients from a handful of small, independent suppliers to top our pizzas. Finally, our pizzaioli cook the pizzas in our oven at about 450 degrees, for no more than 90 seconds, in true Neapolitan style.
The Ship is a welcoming village pub in Sutton‑at‑Hone, newly refreshed under new management and quickly becoming a favourite local meeting spot. Set just moments from the River Darent, it offers a warm, relaxed atmosphere, well‑kept drinks and a growing calendar of community events including quizzes, bingo, live music and family‑friendly evenings. With a brand‑new food menu launching soon, The Ship is the perfect place to unwind at the heart of the village.
