This “great traditional seafood restaurant on the seafront” has been “very popular for decades” (some nine decades in fact) owing to its “always good” victuals, which range from “basic fish ’n’ chips to lobster” plus Champagne-fuelled platters.

“Amazing fish and chips” of the old-school variety make this traditional seafront operation “a bit of an anachronism” in trendy contemporary Brighton – “but all the better for it”. There’s an “outstanding range of fresh fish and seafood”, all at “good-value” prices – no wonder it’s “always busy”.

With its “basic, unpretentious interior and bustle”, this “traditional chippie in a seafront setting” serves “still probably the best fish ’n’ chips in town” of the conventional, un-gastro variety. Both hot and cold seafood come on “exceptionally large platters”, and “it’s the perfect place for a Sunday lunch on a stormy day looking out over the Channel”.

"Poor quality, not very fresh and I think mostly frozen. Hard dry sword fish, mixed fish platter bland and soft, fish soup more like tomato soup with liquidised sardines and rubbery frozen prawns. Appalling. 79£ 2 starters, 2 mains, 3 wine 1 beer"
