Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The fish was so soft inside and crispy outside!"
  • "Fish was soft and juicy, chips were divine, crispy skin and fluffy on the inside."
  • "Crispy batter and full of flavour. The chips were chunky, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside."
  • "The batter to fish ratio was on point. The chips were not soggy."
  • "Fish tasted beautiful and fresh and the batter wasn’t too oily and heavy."

Cons:

  • "I found that my haddock was a bit dry and fatty."
  • "Fish is dry with not proper batter and so are chips.... You can have same chips from the supermarket when you stick them to the oven."
  • "The batter was dry, chips weren’t chip shop chips, felt like frozen oven baked chips."
  • "Fish and chips were to die for and served with great draught craft beer by friendly staff. They also have a wide selection of other beers, wines and cocktails as well."

Service

Pros:

  • "A big shout out to the staff who were funny, friendly and warm."
  • "Service was very nice and the food was ok/good."
  • "The service was a little slow to no fault of the waitress, just mentioning so you know to allocate reasonable time to enjoy the experience (about an hour from going in, to paying the bill)."
  • "The service by those working here is also amazing and they are very pleasant."

Cons:

  • "It took about half an hour to get food, and people who arrived after us had their order taken and food served before us."
  • "Though they're in a hurry and they didn't wipe my table."
  • "You definitely can't call it traditional fish and chips. It's oven baked (both fish and chips) which is simply not traditional and tastes nothing like fish and chips."
  • "The staff tried to push me and my family out of the restaurant by keep telling us that they are busy and need a lot of time to prepare the food."

Ambience and Decor

Pros:

  • "Lovely little restaurant with a great atmosphere."
  • "The decor inside is very cool."
  • "The whole place has a bit of a bohemian feeling, which fits Brighton perfectly."
  • "The atmosphere altogether gave us a relaxing Sunday lunch."

Cons:

  • "The bathroom was so dirty. One of those bathrooms where you try not to touch anything."
  • "Accommodation very basic, not impressed as dining in, with the presentation....cardboard box and wooden utensils."
  • "If dining in it would be preferable to be able to eat your food on a plate rather than out of the box and to replace the disposable cutlery with steel."
