Harden's survey result
Summary
“A splendid selection of seafood, generous portions and good service” earn solid ratings for this offshoot of the well-established Lanes oyster bar, in a “great location” with sea views under the promenade. Although the food is good-not-stellar, there’s a “huge variety” of cooking methods to choose from: “all the standard European ways, but also sashimi, Middle Eastern, bouillabaisse (maybe not 100% authentic, but really good)”, and “prices are keen for what you get”.
Summary
A “small” venue, with quite a local following, that’s “well located on Brighton beach yet close to the town” and its elder Lanes sibling. “If you can get a window seat it’s the perfect spot to watch the sun set” over “tip-top seafood”, a “big range of catch of the day” or a “great value” lunch.
Summary
“A lovely spot (if difficult to find) under the arches on Brighton Beach” – “you eat upstairs, and kitchen and reception are below”. The younger sibling to a spot on The Lanes, it’s become one of the city’s most popular destinations, not just on account of the super location, but also the “smiley and efficient” service, and most particularly its “enticing” range of “lip-smacking” fish and seafood.
Summary
An “excellent addition for Riddle & Finns on the seafront”; in a “lovely spot under the arches, right by the beach” (that some still remember as Due South, RIP), this new sibling to The Lanes original offers a “great range of oysters” plus “seafood cooked to perfection” and “run to table from kitchen”; upstairs tables are preferred.
