Guatemala Trip January 2013
It’s another very exciting week here at the roastery, as our coffee from Santa Ana La Huerta in Guatemala arrived in Brighton today. So it seems a good time for Al to give us a quick run down on the Guatemalan leg of his buying trip this past January and why he is so excited [...]
May Bank Holiday Opening Times
May Bank Holiday is upon us and it looks like it’s even gonna be sunny! Come on down to Small Batch and get stuck in to our Cold Brew Coffee at Jubilee and our new and improved Iced Flat Whites at Wilbury – now made using Brighton’s Boho Gelato handmade single origin coffee gelato. Damn. [...]
70 Goldstone Villas: New Roastery Coffee Shop Now Open
Hot on the heels of our Sevendials branch opening in February, Monday 29th of April saw the opening of the brand spanking new coffee shop next door to the Roastery on Goldstone Villas. The little espresso bar at number 68 has served us well for the last four years as the first ever Small Batch [...]
El Salvador Trip January 2013
In January I was lucky enough to travel to Central America to visit some of the farms we currently deal with, find some new ones and select the coffees we will be roasting this summer. The trip took in Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador and all the farms were slap bang in the middle of [...]

The Coffee Roaster, Sydney
I recently took most of February off to visit family in Australia and escape the British winter. Sadly, said winter waited for my return and dumped 3 inches of snow on the south coast as soon as I arrived home. Cheers Brighton. However, back to my sunny memories of Sydney (I’m typing this indoors wearing [...]
Farewell Hourglass
So The Hourglass is finished. Our pop-up bar was great fun with all kinds of tomfoolery, from pub quizzes to poker nights, leaving drinks, high jinks and special guests ranging from the hastily assembled Brighton Coffee Cart Christmas Quartet to none other than local legend and superstar DJ Fatboy Slim! Thanks to the excellent bar [...]
Christmas Opening Times & Delivery Schedule
Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat. So we can eat him. But less of that, more importantly, here are the opening times for all Small Batch locations this yuletide, plus last delivery info for wholesale and retail customers. Jubilee Street: Open as usual except: Christmas Eve 7am – 3pm Christmas Day [...]
Tandem Ale Is Here
Now we love our coffee here at Small Batch (obviously) but we’re also huge fans of beer. And not just any old, run of the mill, mass produced, pasteurised, filtered and de-flavoured lager. We’re more into your locally produced artisan ales, much like they make up at our very good friends WJ King in Horsham. [...]
The Hourglass: Now Open Closing Soon
As some of you may have heard, we will be opening a new Small Batch location on the site of the old Xuma bar in Seven Dials toward the end of this year. We signed the lease last week and are really excited to get cracking on an awesome neighborhood coffee shop for the [...]
