Harden's survey result
Summary
Once the home of Europe’s richest woman, Harriet Mellon, widow of the banker Thomas Coutts, this seafront pile was converted into a restaurant in the 1930s, making it one of Brighton’s oldest. Even those who believe it’s “becoming rather complacent” as it enters its tenth decade grudgingly amid that it still offers “Brighton’s best fish ’n’ chips” (available on a menu that also takes in fried fishy stuff, shellfish platters and lobster feasts).
Summary
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.
Summary
“An old favourite for traditional fish ’n’ chips”, this “vibrant and very lively restaurant” has been a fixture of the Brighton seafront for 90 odd years. It remains “consistent”, “excellent value”, and is “great for families”.
Summary
“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”.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
