Athena B Fish and Chips in Brighton and Hove

It's good that they offer a couple of vegan plant-based options (tofish etc) but they should expand their vegan menu even further, to include various plant proteins, vegan pies, etc.

Absolutely fantastic fish, possibly best I’ve ever had. Beautiful

Bought a large portions of chips for takeaway. When we opened them both we had been given just the scrappy end bits. Very disappointed. Open them before you walk away.

Very disappointed. Paid over £11 for a tiny piece of overcooked haddock. Chips were also small portion for additional £4. Will NEVER order from here again.

After our favourite chippy changed hands and went downhill we been looking for a new go to joint. The search is over. BEST DAMN FISH AND CHIPS IN BRIGHTON. The large chips is not large enough for two and perhaps you need to get a regular per person but that's only because they are so good. Can't wait to come here again!

Only been a few times but I’m yet to find a better fish and chip shop in the the whole of Brighton and hove. Great food and friendly staff. Food is cooked fresh, batter and chips are perfectly crisp. The only place I’ll go now!

Got regular size cod and chips. I think the amount of chips needed a large fish. But was excellent quality across board. Took 10-15 mins from ordering so not too bad. Mushy peas weren't great

Everything is good, especially the chips! I wish the vegan Tofish could be a bit more generous portion though :)

Athena B is a great fish and chip shop. Great service and good quality fish and chips, chicken and other bits. They’ve even made it enjoyable to wait inside as they cook your food with comfortable furnishings and easygoing music. This is my family’s favourite place to go.

Best fish and chips we have had in a very long time!

Was very unhappy with my order. If you order food separately on a menu not as a meal, it should be packaged separately due to allergies!! Fish was wet and stodgy and was slopped onto the chip portions which means everyone had to have chips with soggy batter and fish stuck to them, it looked like vomit.

Brilliant fish and chip, fresh batter!!! Best in this town at the mo!!

Perfect fish and chips and wonderful, friendly staff with top class customer service. Very generous portions. Fresh batter, great chips, tasty mushy peas and a perfect gherkin. Well done! Looking forward to the vegan options next time. Thanks for cheering me up with your lovely smiles!

Ordered regular chips, they where awful just scraps not even chips. I'm pretty certain they had been sitting in the fryer for some time. Absolutely disgusting such a shame as I was a regular. Not anymore I'm afraid.

Lovely food! Great service from the young lad cooking, very friendly, Made the experience all the better!

Tasty, freshly cooked and not too greasy fish and chips with great vegan options. Always friendly service and very popular.

Great vegan tofu and chips! Excellent value food, playing good music in the place too! Vegan menu had tofu, battered sausage and vegan fish cakes. Portion sizes were generous but not excessive. Good selection of soft drinks too.

Probably one of the best fish and chips in brighton overall, the chips are amazing

Large cod was disappointing small, wouldn't go back for fish but the chips were nice.

I was a bit disappointed with the service a couple weeks back but as soon as the head chef left, the fish and chips have never tasted this good. It’s no doubt a 10/10, the fish is cooked perfectly paired with the most delicious chips and the current staff are friendly as ever! Don’t miss out!

Amazing food and amazing service! Matthew was so accommodating and lovely. Delicious fish with no beer in the batter 10/10 recommend to anyone visiting brighton !

Been using Athena B for years today chips were hard not double cooked batter was non existent gone from a great place to eat to nah I’ll give it a miss. Sorry Mathew but something went really wrong with your business plan.

Extremely good service and the battered sausage was divine. Really great and hardworking staff

Very happy with my cod and haddock. It was ready in good time and was delicious. Service was good and welcoming. I’ll be back:)

The best money for the best food, I Reccomend BIG time

Hmmm a little disappointed. Chips were pretty good but too smaller portion really for a chip shop. Scampi 🍤 was sadly overcooked and very small, some tiny and still counted towards the 10. Room for improvement, they forgot the vinegar too.

Amazing fish and chips and good value, very generous portions and smiley service! Gets very busy on Fridays so make sure you order quick.

The staff seem to spend more time singing and trying to improve there wrapping abilities. The price's are ridiculous, I will be saving my 30quid for supermarket next time and make my own. ### To add to this comment, I would like to express my gratitude for your quick and very detailed response. I know only to well how the current economic climate is pushing everybody financially, and fully appreciate that changes are necessary for a business to survive and ultimately earn. Otherwise what is the point in starting a business. With regards to the wrapping, I was referring to how long it took to be wrapped not how well it was wrapped. I also appreciate that a happy working environment is essential to a well oiled machine, so please keep the singing, but in moderation... if a customer has to wait nearly 20mins for a couple of fish n chips and a couple of single portion of chips, that was my point. However, overall I have considered your reply and also the bases on pricing so with that I have changed my review to 3 stars. Take care and just be more mindful of customers waiting, they see and hear everything!

The best fish and chips in all of Sussex! Hands down!!! Love the staff, love the atmosphere, and most importantly, LOVE the fish. Keep doing what you’re doing guys.

The best chip shop chips around - always really fresh. You can tell this place is run by people who care about quality

This evening, I came in for regular cod & chips. Disgraceful is the only word to describe it. Chips were weighed and all scrag ends, cod was debatable. If I didn’t live too far away I would have brought it back. You have definitely fallen from the grace of god from the last time I frequented your establishment.

Visited Portslade for the day, this chippy was reccomended. Excellent customer service, very friendly mother and son who run it. The guy even went out of his way to make us some scraps!! Highly reccomend, lovely fish with very light crispy batter. When we're back in the area we will visit again.

Not your average chip shop. Try Athena B pies - made on the premises and really good. The chips are the best for miles. Friendly staff. Great food.

Amazing vegan options, great chips.

Service is slow even when quiet

Outstanding fish and chips! My veggie daughter gives the tofish and rates it 10/10. Really friendly staff and a great local business ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing food every time. Really tasty, not greasy. Quick delivery & food was piping hot. We have the fish bites & chips. Perfect size. Chips are a tasty as is the fish which is so fresh

We've been looking for the best fish and chips in Brighton and Hove for several years now, and have finally found it! Ordered a few times from this place and we won't be going anywhere else from now on. Highly, highly recommend.

Best fish and chips I've had in a long time, will definitely be using them again, great size portion

I ordered a meal to be delivered and only got half of my meal this is not the first time this has happened last time I did go to the shop for them to put my meal right but when you order a meal to be delivered and then when you phone them to be told you have to go to the shop for them to put your order right doesn't make sense as I have paid for it to be delivered have used Athena for years but will not use any more

Oh my gosh the place was spotless, the staff are warm and welcoming and the place is so much more than a fish & chip shop, my food was cooked fresh to order and tasted delicious.

The best fish and chips....excellent service...I really recommend!!!

Truly the best fish and chips ....my cod was unbelievably fresh and the batter really light and non greasy. Have definitely found our new favourite.

Amazing fish and chips ! Always great food and a lovely family run business with clean smart shop x

The fish was amazing hot and fresh as well was the loaded chips brilliant

Consistently superb food & friendly service

Banging vegan food, possibly best chips n gravy in btown

First time we have used Athena B. Best fish and chips we have had for a while

All I can say is the food was just awesome 😊

Excellent fish and chips. Also had sausage and chips great!

Athena B are the best fish and chips I’ve ever had - everything was delicious. The batter was light a crispy. Cod was really fresh and good quality. The chips were a perfect combination of crispy, soft and not too greasy. Really nice atmosphere and staff. 10 out of 10!

Fantastic. Everything was fantastic. We ordered the scampi which was divine and cod which was fluffy inside.

Very good fish and chips. Very kind woman runs the place. Evey time I go in she's helping homeless people or similar

Best fish & chips in the area, staff always friendly.

Me and my daughter were walking past and fancied some chippys! I'm a HUGE chip shop fan so can be quite fussy! Well........ I have a new chippy! This was the most tastiest chippy I have tasted. We sat In on the little table as it was super clean and cute with a lovely chilled feel and me and my daughter had a lovely chip dinner. Will definitely be coming back.

Great fish and chips from a lovely family business. I accidentally gave a 1 star review on Deliveroo - I’m so sorry. 5 star all the way.

Whilst staying locally on holiday, we were recommended this place and were not disappointed. Beautifully cooked fish, tasty chips and free ketchup 👍. I also have to pass comment on the packaging, which was premium and not your usual, just piled into a paper parcel 👏

This place is amazing for a vegan "fish" n chips experience.. highly recommended 😊

Best fish and chip shop anywhere. Lovely people and lovely food.

Consistently the best fish and chip shop I've found in the Brighton and Hove area. Friendly, commited staff who clearly care massively about the quality of their product as well as a conscious effort to be sustainable. Cannot recommend higher.

Absolutely disappointed with the fish and chips I ordered The fish was almost non existent mainly batter for which I paid £7.50 absolute disgrace. I’ll never order from here again

The BEST fish and chips on the south coast, hands down. Lovely staff, delicious fresh food. A must visit

Have posted five stars before but tonight and the last time we ordered the fish had perfect batter but was completely dry. The cod was small and really thin and this would contribute to dryness. We love your chippy but need an option to buy a thick piece of fish which is cooked quickly.

Best fish & chips around, possibly the best in the country. Everything is cooked perfectly. Particularly love the frickles

I heard good things about the Athena B and tried it for the first time tonight. Suffice to say this will be the ONLY fish and chip restaurant I use form now on! So good.

Simply the best fish and chips I’ve had here in the Brighton area !! The lite bite portion is perfectly sized - no feeling completely stuffed !! Batter is perfect and tastes amazing and as for the mushy peas - you must have a Northern connection 🤣 superb . Thank you so much

Hands down, best fish & chips in Brighton and Hove!

Very crispy chips and overpriced for the portion size

Possiblely the best chip shop in Brighton, without a doubt the best in Portslade. Great service. Pillars of the community and well loved by all.

Can't fault it. Best fish & chips in Town bar none & lovely staff.

Lovely interior, very friendly staff, nice atmosphere and delicious food. Best chips I had in a long time. Had halloumi as well which was lovely. The batter is amazing.

The first time we used this fish and chip shop it was disappointing, and I let it go as was a home delivery, this is the 2nd time as everywhere deserves a chance and the experience is yet again disappointing.

Amazing vegan battered sausages

Great food - every time - Yum 😊

I have been visiting athena B since I was a kid. The same family ran it back then too and so glad they came back. They didn't just come back, they have modernised and improved every part of the shop. Matt the guy running it is such an inspiration and runs the place with precision. Food is FANTASTIC and would definately recomend. Great staff especially the potato pealer Lucas who i was lucky enough to meet when I visited tonight.

I just wanted to give Athina B a big thank you for providing an absolutely delicious fish n chips. You are on another level so thank you for caring about providing Excellent food 5*star the best in town... You're my go to from now on. I recommend to choose Athena B. Honestly you won't be disappointed.

Quite honestly the best chips around. They've never let me down. I feel lucky to have them close by.

My personal favourite fish and chip bar.

As a local chef myself, nothing makes me happier than amazing service and food, 10/10 best chippy this side of Brighton, also the head chefs personality is amazing! love the atmosphere

Very neat packaging and friendly staff, fish and chips were one of the best in the area.

Incredible- I can honestly say the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. And I’ve had quite a bit in my time.

Lovely family always kind to us ambulance guys mutch love to give and always helping everyone

Always great food, cooked to order and very fresh. Fantastic.

Great service best fish and chip around here they have a wide selection of things all cooked to perfection. Keep it up we love you best halloumi fried cheese I have ever had. Its a real gem of a place mum and son make you feel very welcome always happy to see you

Fantastic fish and chips shop, recommended

Really delicious chippy. I had tofish, he had the battered vegan sausage, the kids had cod and calamari. Everyone was really happy. Really crispy chips. Best frickles I've ever had. Glad we've found this place!

Fantastic fish and chips and lovely people

Amazing fish and chips, the best one I had in Brighton so far. I'll come back for sure.

Perhaps the best fish and chips I've had - great experience. The staff were warm and lovely and the food was fantastic

First time eating here - honestly the best fish and chips I’ve ever tasted! That batter is crispy and gorgeous and the fries are chunky and fresh. Packaging is great too. Do not hesitate, order it now,

Very friendly, accomodating and good food

The all-new and improved Athena B are serving up incredible food! They are nailing the vegan options (tofish, tofishcake & vegan battered sausage are all awesome). We’re also told by our non-vegan friends that the rest of the menu is great too. And seriously, the chips are probably the best we’ve ever had from a chippy. Get involved!!

I’ve lived in Portslade for about 8 years now and can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve eaten here. I’ve never particularly enjoyed fish and chips before. That was until it got taken over this time. I now eat here a few times a month. The fish is always super fresh, the batter is light and crispy and there’s just the right amount of chips for me in the light bite meal. Also very reasonably priced. Great customer service even at busy times. Love this place :)

The food is delicious! Amazing family business and they definitely make you feel happy! My family and I always enjoy going there ! Just perfect ! I’ve been to many fish and chips places , however , never beats Athena B :D

Brightons best fish and chips! Wonderful family run chippy, delicious food and lovely staff. Fish is always fresh and cooked well. Loads of delicious veggie/vegan options too!

Hands down the best chips I’ve ever had!

Best fish and chip shop! Lovely owner and amazing food

Best fish and chips I've had in a long time. Fish wasn't oily in fact the batter was light and crispy. Loved the salt and pepper squid as well. Staff are super friendly and the music keeps you going while you wait for your order.

This is the best place to get fish and chips in the Brighton area. The fish is very flavourful, the batter is light and crispy and the double cooked chips are fluffy on the inside and crisp on the outside. I always get the hove actually chips and they are the best thing on the menu. Highly recommend this establishment

Amazing fish and chips!!! Possibly the best in the South coast!!! Fresh and crispy!!! Great staff and lovely owners. Ethically admirable too as feeding homeless people everyday for free. We love supporting this type of small, local and family business. Really well done guys!!!
