I went today and was waiting with other two older ladies waiting to be serviced at the ice counter, the ladies tried few times to tell the staff; which there are serving fish and chips to other people; to come and serve them with ice cream. After few minutes without any service the two ladies left and I kept waiting for about more than 10 mins, finally a young girl come with grumpy face and I asked I want an ice 2 cones of ice cream two scoop each, instead of apologising for the wait, she said what do you want in a rude manner which I founded offensive, so I said cancell and l don't like your customer service. That was at about 2:00 pm Tuesday 17/9/2024.

We took a trip there last night for a Fish and Chip supper night with entertainment and a ride on the Carousel. All of us grown adults on the carousel was brilliant I thoroughly enjoyed it. We all had THE best night, the staff are lovely, the food delicious and the entertainment excellent. It’s a BIG 5 ⭐️ from me. Thankyou to everyone for such a great evening, we will be back 👍🏻

This place is probably one of the best places to sit and eat fish and chips on Brighton seafront and have a lovely cocktail on the beach watching the carousel. Very tasty food and great staff !!

This is a prime location right on the sea front and close to the pier - so I would imagine it will always do a trade. Was it good? No. Was it bad? No. Totally inoffensive.

Lunch at this cafe beautiful venue. Chips and fish poorly cooked and very expensive. Greasy thick batter tasted like old burnt oil. Chips worst l have ever eaten . $8 salad ten lettuce leaves drowned in supermarket dressing. Huge disappointment. It's an international destination.

Probably the best Fish and chips I have had for a long time. Cooked fresh and a nice piece of fish that tasted of Cod and not a greasy substitute. My wife had scampi and that was cooked just right and not burnt like some do. The pricing is spot on too 👍👍 Delicious..would deffo eat there again 👍

Waited 15 minutes for 4 portions of cheesy chips and no apology was given for waiting that long. Rude manager with no knowledge of customer service only gave me her first name as ‘Marie’ really needs to get herself enrolled onto a customer service course and stop teaching youngsters working there to be rude like her. Save yourself rude service and grab a bite elsewhere.

Whilst I appreciate that no fish can be guaranteed to be 100% bone free, the one I ordered today had 6 bones in the first bite. I don't even want to think what the rest of it would have been like! When I asked the staff to swap it for something else as I had my 18 months old daughter with me and couldn't possibly feed her that fish and risk choking her, the woman in charge (a blonde lady in her 50s) very rudely replied that all fish have bones and I should just deal with it. She mumbled something else, then reluctantly agreed to have the fish swapped for a hot dog. Again, I'd echoey to find a bone or two in a fillet, but 6 on the one bite seemed a bit too much! Will definitely not be eating there again!

We had 2 X haddock and chips plus one portion of chicken nuggets with chips. One piece of fish was acceptable, just. One piece absolutely awful. The chicken nuggets must have either been left cooked for a long time or cooked multiple times - dry as a bone. A mistake for us to eat there. Oh well.

My husband and I visited Brighton on 7 September and chose to eat at Carousels. I had scampi and chips and my husband had Haddock and chips. My scampi was good but unfortunately our chips were so bad. Even the plastic knife could not penetrate them. They tasted like carboard and were obviously yesterday's leftovers reheated. I will ensure that we will never eat there again and will also let my friends and relatives know to avoid this place.

Visitamos el 20/07/20 por la tarde, no hay servicio de mesa y el servicio es lo normal donde vas al bar y pides tus bebidas. Haces cola en una fila para que te atiendan, lo cual está bien. El barman era agradable y amable, el precio de las bebidas era el esperado por la ubicación. Conseguimos 2 porciones grandes de patatas fritas y una olla de salsa de tomate para 8, un poco caro. Pero las patatas fritas son las mejores de Brighton. Fue agradable sentarse tomando unas copas mirando al mar. Volvería y usaría de nuevo.

Pedí pescado y barcos y pedí que los barcos estuvieran bien hechos. cuando recibí mi pedido, los barcos estaban empapados y no estaban bien hechos, pero cuando le pregunté a la señora de la caja, ella dijo que le dije que venía en una dirección, lo cual no era cierto. Una señora de la parte de atrás intervino de una manera muy grosera y me pidió mi pescado y los barcos de regreso para obtener un reembolso que no pedí. . al final solo conseguí el pescado. No pediría que mis barcos estuvieran bien hechos si hubiera una cola, pero yo era el único cliente en ese momento. Me decepcionó mucho la mala calidad del servicio al cliente.

Sin embargo, no puedo dejar malas críticas normalmente ya que trabajo en un restaurante. . . Porción de pescado y patatas fritas no era barato. Muy decepcionante, ya que el pescado era de muy baja calidad y claramente uno de los más baratos que podían comprar. En su mayoría era solo la mezcla con casi ningún pescado. ¡Lo poco que había de él no era carnoso en lo más mínimo, e incluso encontré múltiples huesos! No me hubiera importado si el pescado hubiera sido realmente bueno. Las patatas fritas eran promedio y pagaron 1 por una olla de gránulos de salsa Bisto, no vendrían aquí de inmediato.

We visited Monday 27th August for a couple of drinks and again Tuesday 28th August for a drink & food. Good location looking out to sea and great to people watch when walking past. Drinks expensive at nearly £10 for a strongbow & corona. Unfortunately all drinks are poured in plastic glasses which we all know makes the beer tastes not as nice as in glass. Toilets were a bit of a mess and need a bloody good clean. Quick service on both visits to the bar. We only had chips which was £5 for 2 small trays of chips, to be fair they were nice tasting chips. Would visit again but the owner needs to give the bar area & toilets a good clean and make over.

The student staying with my family came home today upset by the rude treatment she got here today. The price displayed on the board for fish and chips was £6 but they charged her £11 saying the board was showing an old price. When she chased her slow to arrive food they accused her of not paying and then tried to charge her extra. What a horrible representation of Brighton and the British seaside. I'm really upset that this cafe is happy to treat tourists in this way. Reading other reviews on Trip Advisor it seems that this is far from an isolated incident.

My partner and I were here last Summer. We both ordered burger and chips. We were both quite shocked to see that the burgers had already been cooked before we ordered then and were left on the side beside the griddle. The guy who was cooking the food took two of these burgers and put them on the griddle to heat them up. We should have said something then but trusted that the burgers had only just been cooked. Since In the following days my partner and I were really ill with sickness and Diaharreah. Trust us, you will want to avoid this place. We were also charged £13 for the pleasure of having food poisoning.

Very obliging service and good food at a reasonable price. The outdoor seating is basic, but comfortable. The fish is tasty, moist and very well cooked. The chips are perfect - crispy on the outside and soft inside - just how chips should be. The mushy peas are southern chip shop style with vinegar added, so don't buy them if you like them done plain - i.e. the way they make them up north.

The portion sizes for the chips were good and perfect for lunch. The fish and battered sausage were a little on the small size but having said that, the prices were very reasonable and the service was prompt. Considering the amount of outlets serving chips on the seafront, I felt that the chips could have been a bit tastier but the crispy batter on the fish and sausage made up for any disappointment with the chips.

Would never come again even if you paid me! Haven't seen them wipe down a table and was sat here for an hour. Staff look really miserable and only give you a sachet of sauce when you buy a burger actually make that two sachets each burger you buy but it does not state it. I asked for a sachet of sauce for my 3 year old for his saveloy and chips but was asked for 5p after buying 4meals....

Visited on a day trip to Brighton in the sunshine. Usually visit Harry ramsdens although have recently been disappointed at the restaurant in Southampton. Was very impressed by the food here! We both had fish and chips and I also had baked beans. Think the food gives Harry ramsdens a run for its money! We both said we preferred it. Portion sizes were also good and the chips were nice and crispy just how we like it. I think the guy on the till was new so a bit slow but he was lovely and didn't make any mistakes. We also had a slushy drink each which was quite flavoursome. It was really busy that day although didn't have to wait too long for food which was great. We also got a table to eat at and its near the sea so have nice views. Would definitely eat there again when we visit Brighton.

Hadn't pre-planned our lunch destination. Stopped here by chance, as there were free tables (for a group of 7) in the sun. Didn't except to be impressed, given prime location. But... fish & chips were excellent. Not dripping in oil nor soggy. Fresh & tastey. Kids had chicken nuggets. Again, expected fast-food style reconstituted chicken "sponge". Instead, got deep fried chunks of chicken fillet. Wish I'd ordered them myself!

We wanted fish and chips on the sea front and that is what we had! Both fish and chips were perfectly cooked. There are plenty of tables outside under parasols and despite it being busy we had no trouble finding a clean table. It was a pain to have a 50p card charge as I don't know many places that do that anymore.

This is the third year my husband and I have returned to Carousels which is situated in the perfect location of Brighton seafront. The vintage carousel itself was basked in happy children riding the well maintained horses. The service as always was fast, staff extremely friendly especially and the crispy battered fish and chips was second to none. It is value for money with good portion sizes. We will definitely returning next year.

Carousels is a brilliant fun place with something for all the family. Fresh cooked fish and chips everyday. With an inbuilt bar with some very attractive staff. It also features rides for kids and an old vintage penny arcade. 5* would recommend to anyone locals or tourists. :)

Trip: Staying in Brighton for the week with a close friend. Since I hadn't been to Brighton in over ten years, we decided to do a couple of touristy things whilst I was here. I was really craving fish and chips and we happened to pass by this place, which had at least one veggie option for my friend. Environment: It's very well located. There was plenty of seating, but the tables clearly hadn't seen a wipe in a couple of hours. There's a neat little vintage arcade next door that I do recommend you pop into. There is a vintage merry go round right in front of it, which I guess is the takeaway's namesake. Food: The portions sizes were smaller than I'm used to, and the fish & chips were not prepared fresh at all. The skin was left on the fish, which I understand is unpleasant for some, though I personally like it. I had a little curry sauce as well, although a pound for a little cap of cheap-tasting sauce left a bitter taste in my mouth. My dish was nothing to write home about at all. The veggie burger my friend had was much worse. I understand not catering to vegetarians much at a seaside outlet, but the veggie burger was ridiculous. It was a Tesco value vegetable slice with plasticky (probably Tesco value) cheese. When asked if he wanted salad with the burger, my friend said yes and was given barely enough for a single lettuce leaf. Come on, people. Price: Prices were average, cheaper than where I live normally, certainly. However, they add a 50p charge for all card transactions. For a small company, I can understand imposing this charge on customers for small transactions. However, this place evidently isn't struggling, and adding that charge for any card transaction at all is basically free money for the company. Nobody likes giving their hard-earned money away for nothing. Service: Surly, minimal, rude. Conclusion: The only thing good about the place are its location, and the fact that it's right next to a charming vintage arcade (to its right) and a merry-go-round. Recommendation: Local or tourist, don't eat here, just look around. There are so many other nicer eating establishments around that aren't greedy money-grubbing goblins.

Lovely food with even better staff. The food is always so nice deffo top quality. The setting is perfect in the summer with the carousels and it being smack bang in the middle of Brighton beach. They have recently refurbed and it looks so cool and proper British. My favourite thing about this place is the staff they're always so funny and friendly I go every year without fail :)

Having lived by the Sussex seaside for 30 years before moving to London, we were really looking forward to some 'proper' fish & chips by the sea when we re-visited Brighton for the day. The tables were dirty, the server very surly, the fish portions were very small (& had skin left on) & the chips were barely edible; they would have benefitted from another couple of minutes in the fryer. So although the chip portions were also small, this turned out to be a good thing! I've reviewed this place as Poor purely because what little fish we did have was ok - the batter was quite crispy too - otherwise it would have been rated as Terrible. But we came home feeling very disappointed with our fish 'n chip supper by-the-sea & couldn't (wouldn't!) recommend this place to anyone.

Gave this another chance on a busy Saturday when there were plenty of tourist around so expected fish to be fresh and hot. Unfortunately the batter was soggy and limp and only lukewarm. This is an excellent position and the fish should be much better. Such a shame.

Hugely overpriced, substandard food.Such a shame to be offering tourists such a poor quality Fish and Chips. They simply don't deserve the location they have. The quicker someone who cares about food quality and customer service takes over from these charlatans, the better.

Traditional Fish & Chips by the Sea. Simply Best chip shop chips I've tasted in a long time took me back to being a kid. There is a queue most of the day but this moves super quick and is just showing how good the food is worth a couple minutes wait. Home made curry sauce

23 of us booked to have our Xmas meal here on a Friday evening. We all pre-ordered our menu choices and a deposit of £250 was paid. The drinks seemed reasonably priced for Brighton which was a bonus. We were due to eat at 7.30 pm and moved to the restaurant. Our various starters arrived at 8.15 pm and were at best luke warm. These were consumed and we waited for our main courses, we waited and waited. Several more trips to the bar and eventually after lots of chasing the mains started appearing at approximately 9.30 pm. The beef short rib arrived cold so was returned and never seen again and when questioned we were told they were making it fresh! I returned my meal to the kitchen as it was now too late for me to eat without making myself poorly, a few others from our party had to leave before the food had arrived due to getting home for family commitments and not one person received a satisfactory meal. I felt incredibly sorry for the staff who obviously had no control over the debacle it had become. When we complained and said we would not be paying the balance as the food was not worth it but they could keep the deposit we were asked if we would at least pay for our starters! No apology was received and we suggested that our deposits would more than cover the starters. We didn’t bother hanging around for pudding and all left feeling extremely disappointed at what we had just experienced and agreed it was the absolute worst dining experience any of us have ever had. Needless to say I will never ever return to this venue again. It used to be such a good place for food and being a true Brightonian I have visited many times in the past. They really stood be ashamed of themselves and need a little more customer service training. Thanks for ruining a bunch of very hard working NHS’s employees night.

Absolutely terrible!!!! Waste of food and the owner is an absolute disgrace! He hasn't got a clue, rude, and tries to charge you every penny he can!!! He didn't want to separate the cod with the chips because he didn't want to use another sheet of paper to wrap it. Hadock was undercooked and soggy. Chips soggy too, and the owner is really stingy with the salt and vinegar! Large chips, small cod, and medium haddock nearly £20 quid, definitely not worth it, and you get charged for the 10p bag! Cash only too!!! Joke of a place, last time ever! Never again!!!! F that!!!!
