English's of Brighton in Brighton and Hove

This is not our first visit to this lovely restaurant, unfortunately time we had a couple of issues. Our table was booked and when we arrived it wasn’t available, they asked us if we wanted a table upstairs, I said I would prefer a table on the ground floor. A table become available and they gave it to us, I wasn’t completely satisfied as the table was very small and I think it’s the worst table on the ground floor, the only alternative table would be upstairs, although there was another table close to us that was empty all evening. The other issue was they never told us what the fish of the day or any of the other specials were! Unfortunately due to the issues we had it spoil our dining experience and evening. Our food was very good. If we book again I will ask for the table of our choice at the time of booking, so we already know where we will be sat.

Brilliant fish restaurant, with varied menu. Cosy ambience. Excellent discrete service, with attentive waiter. A very pleasant evening.

We have been many times, the quality has always been good. The atmosphere we both really like. I had the Dover sole and it was spot on! The hot sharing starter again really hit the spot. If you are a wine lover, then the wine list is something to behold. The team were welcoming. Well done!

Food was delicious and the staff charming. Wine was lovely and the ambience delightful. We have been on several other occasions and never been disappointed

The food was great. I had the lunch special for 2 dishes £25, plus water and a wine. There were skinny fries with the mussels. That was interesting but they were the tastiest fries I've eaten on the island so far. The restaurant is a bit more expensive but the quality of the food was great.

Incredible meal at Englishes! Every dish was delicious and the service was top tier. Traditional restaurant vibes but with a cosy, non-stuffy atmosphere. Will be coming back!

My favourite restaurant in Brighton, always a great experience, food is always 10 out of 10! Bit on the pricey side, but completely worth it! Scallops are to die for along with the lobster!! We had Paula today she was great Amazing customer service.

A lovely spot for a simple lunch with a friend - delicious food and the service was brilliant, tentative yet not intrusive. I’d look forward to returning to English’s for a more special occasion meal in future.

Excellent moment, accueil et service très plaisant et précis. Mets très goûteux et belle carte des vins. Une très belle table pour passer un bon moment.

Always guaranteed an excellent dinning experience here. From the welcome at the door to outstanding table service, with their knowledge of accompanying wine and where the fish was caught. Whenever we are in Brighton, a visit (or two) is always a must for us. A bubble of true class and the best of old Brighton.

Amazing experience! Fabulous food and wonderful service! Absolute treat before returning to London - special shout out to Ashleigh from Canada who made our visit outstandingly special xx

Best scallops ever. Fresh seafood and attentive staff. Highly recommend.

very lovely atmosphere and service!

We had the lunch menu - good range of choices, excellently cooked and with immaculate service. The wine list was good too - we will be back soon.

We shared the cooked seafood platter and it was fantastic. The fish were tasty and fresh. The servers were very friendly too.

Table for 3 last week. Been a long time since we have been, a big birthday for my father. We have been lucky over the years, eating at some great fish restaurants in northern France, the med and Padstein! Well English's is in the Premier League... it says something that they have been in the same spot and ownership for 75+ years.... The service on arrival was seamless, friendly and as expected. Spoilt for choice on the aperitifs! My father - master of wine - was instantly distracted by the wine list and like a 'child in a sweetshop'. Most importantly the food. Simple choice for us on a warm sunny day, cold seafood platter accompanied by some well dressed salads and french fries. There wasn't a single component that was out of place, all deliciously presented and dressed where required. We ate like Poseidon, Neptune and Njord! Thank you to the team front and back of house. Delightful lunch.

A fabulous experience. Fine August weather meant that we could sit outside. Food and service excellent. One of the best fish restaurants I’ve ever been too. Not cheap but I felt that we got what we paid for - good value for the quality of food and service. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely birthday loooong lunch for my partner, a perfect table for 8 on the terrace - fabulous food, attentive but not stuffy service, we’ve not been here for a few years and it has remained one of our favourite restaurants. Amazing food, great wine list and a warm, friendly welcome - oh and the sun was shining!

We go to English’s every time we visit Brighton for a summer day out. It’s a bit of a tradition now! The food is always excellent and they have great staff. They are so helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Yes it’s a bit old school, but that’s why it’s so great! Treat yourself and enjoy

Delicious fish and chips and glass of fizz- the best fish / chips I’ve had - no need for extra salt / vinegar. Would definitely return to Brighton just to eat here.

I go to English's restaurant as the service is friendly and professional.. My favourite is Oysters and Patterson's Chardonnay white wine! I can't fault anything!! My Sister and I love the experience and service!

I want to bring your attention to the following issue that I experienced at this restaurant: This was a celebration for a milestone birthday, and my friend mentioned this on the online booking so the restaurant knew this as they had prepared a table for us. We travelled down from London on 2 August because this seafood restaurant has very good reviews. The table decorations and setting were lovely, and the appetizers of raw Rock oysters and Oysters Kilpatrick were delicious. For the main dish, we ordered a shared Hot Platter of mixed seafood. Upon inquiring about the cooking method, the waitress informed us that the seafood would be cooked in butter and oil with no seasoning or spices. However, when the platter arrived, all the seafood was covered in black pepper, which I dislike but I decided to give it a try. I was unable to eat after a few bites. When I mentioned this to the French waiter, he explained that it is normal to use black pepper in European cuisine, but I wasn't comfortable with it. After I shared my concerns, the waiter removed the platter and left only the mussels which were, unfortunately, full of grit. We could not be bothered with complaining because a previous review a few months back had mentioned grit in the mussels. Later, he brought out a separate platter just for me with only 3 small fillets, 1 prawn and 2 scallops. However my friend did not have anything to eat. When queried he said my friend had mentioned she had ate her share. He then brought out MY old plate with food to compare what was eaten and what wasn’t. This was humiliating in a crowded restaurant. He had misunderstood my friend who had said she was fine with black pepper TO “she had eaten her share of platter”. In all my life of having shared platters this has never happened. Most restaurants would have just brought out a whole fresh platter without black pepper. When I raised my concerns again, the waiter promised to bring out a new platter. However, the second platter still did not meet our expectations. It came in 2 separate plates and on my plate it contained the same two fillets, two scallops, and two tiger prawns, all of which were overcooked. It looked like waiter had put my second platter to stay warm in oven while my friend’s was being cooked. The rest of the items advertised were missing. An English gentleman who looked like the manager later apologised and offered us £16.00 off the bill and complimentary coffee. Unfortunately, despite this gesture, we felt deeply disappointed with the overall experience. I was also never wished a happy birthday by the staff at any point. I presume only people who are fine with plenty of black pepper on their food have left good reviews. It also seemed like the French waiter was penny pinching so he can get brownie points for reducing costs for restaurant. Well I hope he is happy with his brownie point because we are never coming back.

Fantastic sea food and lovely sharing plater

I love this place, a must visit in Brighton. Oysters are delicious and we recommend the wine list!

Fresh seafood, we ordered hot seafood platter, there were three types of fish, fried oysters, scallops, prawns, and a pot with mussels and clams. I really enjoyed the platter with friends, especially the pot, love the freshness and soup in the pot! The staffs were friendly as well💚 The food is quite fresh in a seafood restaurant. I ordered the hot seafood platter, which included three different kinds of fish, fried oysters, scallops, shrimps, and a delicious clam pot with mussels! I really like the soup in that pot and the freshness of the shellfish. The staff is also very friendly and the overall dining experience is great and enjoyable.

It’s been years since we ate at English’s and standards are still high. We had grilled brill and grilled Dover sole which were both excellent and excellent value compared to London where similar fish can be twice the price. It’s delightful to eat outside when the weather is good (which it was whilst we were there) and the staff are attentive - it’s how dining should be. It’s also very convenient for The Pavilion which is a very short stroll back into town.

My daughter and I went to English's for lunch to celebrate my birthday. It was a beautiful sunny and we sat outside. We had the three course set menu, which was listed as £30, but had an extra £2.50 cover charge each for a mackerel pate appetiser. So, in reality, £32.50 each. Still great value. We both had the calamari starter and the moules marineres main. Both absolutely delicious, especially the calamari. And good size portions. We shared a carafe of a very decent Gavi de Gavi white wine and a bottle of sparkling water. The service was perfect, with well trained staff who were also able to discuss and advise on the menu choices. My only gripe was with the desserts. I chose the Old Winchester chees with honey, nuts and pane carasau and my daughter had a selection of sorbets. The ice creams were all delicious. The cheese dish was dry and boring, such that I picked off the little cubes of cheese and pretty much left everything else. It didn't feel like a thought out, balanced dish, which was odd, as everything else we had was so exceptional and well balanced that no additional seasoning was required. I highly recommend this restaurant for the food, service and overall value for money. They just need to re-think the cheese dish!

Honestly the BEST seafood experience in the UK I’ve ever had! Can’t believe I’ve never been to this hidden gem. The staff are on point and service rates as top in the world. Thank You Lorraine for the best night. Would 100% recommend.

Spectacular food and service A real treat. Would highly recommend. Felt like we were very special. Husband and I keep talking about how magical it was.

First Class restaurant and a wonderful lunch. Looking forward to a return visit when I next visit Brighton.

Small cramped room as it became busy. Menu quite confusing and badly laid out. Expensive too! The soft shell crab tempura was awful, oozing some slimy content, and it was just one little piece. The fish pie was a wet mash, few bits of buried salmon and white fish, peas swimming over the mash and some shells piled on top. It was vile. It did have one small scallop and a prawn! Luckily my family all chose rather better, like basic fish and chips or dressed crab where not much can go wrong. Staff were attentive and first class.

Took my family who were over from Mauritius to give them the experience of an English sea food restaurant. It was very disappointing. The salt and pepper squid started was very bland, the pesto sauce tasted like it was out of a jar; presentation wasn’t great either. I’ve had better fish and chips from my local chippy in Tottenham. Fish was over cooked which made the batter very dry, this was plonked on top of the mound of tartar sauce. Chips were cup up in blocks which also seemed over cooked. As if a Poisin isn’t small enough, they only gave half a poison. It was such a shame, particularly as I’ve been there previously and the food was exceptional. Feedback given to the young waitress who did apologies, but I’m not sure the feedback would go anywhere

A pretty restaurant in the Lanes in Brighton,had a good meal and Ashley the Canadian Waitress was a delight. In settling the bill,I noted 2 charges of GBP2.50 as Cover Charge Total GBP5.00 I queried Ashley as to what this was for and she said its to cover the bread,butter and pate. Really!!!...at the start of the meal we were each presented with 2 Half Slices of Bread,a tiny pat of butter and a thimble full of mackeral pate....no indication that we should be charged extra for this....the product cost would even reach 40pence!! The rather pompous Italian Host proceeded to show me that such a charge was noted on the menu (as usual at the bottom in small print)...I said that you should alert the customer to additional charges prior to service...he disagreed,and said that such charges are now common (not to me they are are we frequently dine out). However I said I will not pay and he removed them from the bill (must have felt a little guilty/sneaky) A disappointing end to a lovely evening.

How strange.. when you write a bad comment, suddenly you have ten very very good comments! And with very very beautiful pictures?????

I love seafood and this place is brilliant.

Food is good. Service is painfully slow 🐌

Just had yet another lovely lunch at Englishs. It’s so nice to find a slightly more formal but relaxed place to meet friends and enjoy their wonderful food. At the moment they are offering a set 2 or 3 course lunch or dinner (with choice of dishes in each course) at great value of £30 for lunch up to 6 pm or dinner at £40 from 6pm. We had a late lunch and were enjoying the atmosphere so much we stayed almost through to dinner. They also have tables on an outside terrace. I’m already planning another visit.

Best in Brighton and getting better Been to number of other places in Brighton professing to be fish restaurants. Sorry but they come no where near the standard of this place for food quality and service 27 12 23 Magestic Turbot!!! Epic as ever and such lovely service

What an experience. Nothing short of outstanding from the service to the food. It was the PERFECT place for the most special occasion. I couldn’t recommend enough. Thank you for having us and making it so special X

What a beautiful little Gem! Staff were so friendly, atmosphere was gorgeous and the food was incredible. Was such a lovely day for a special occasion. Would definitely recommend if you want an intimate fine dining experience.

Amazing food and incredibly attentive, friendly service. I'm not sure I've had a better meal in England ever.

Amazing seafood experience....the Oysters were excellent... highly recommended. The service was outstanding, and the manager was a pleasure to deal with. Thank you, English's of Brighton, for an excellent time.

Excellent service. Think in terms of £30 per head minimum.

Stumbled across this gem waiting to go to a gig at Dust. Goodness me....sumptuous. I love fish and this place really delivers. Cracking wine selection. Great service as well. Recommended!

We are welcomed by a gentleman (the owner or senior floor manager) and a team of waitresses who escorted promptly to a table on 1st floor. The atmosphere is very traditional, quiet and welcoming. We ordered Rock oysters for Starter and were very delicious. Saffron risotto and Dover sole were perfect for the main dish for two. Quality of foods was excellent. Wine list and other drink menu are very decent too.

It was in a bit of a corner, so I looked it up on Google Maps and went in. Quiet and nice interior atmosphere. The server took great care and was nice. I ordered seafood stew for two people and it was really generous and delicious. It's like eating a lot of seafood in a sweet and salty tomato stew. It's good! There is a lot more seafood in the jar shown in the picture.

Quite certain this was the most impressive meal of my life. Even arriving under dressed for a such a place, 10min before the kitchen closed, we were treated with tremendous respect and kindness. But the service was completely outdone by the food! We done all over the world, chasing Michelin star, and James beard award locations, and this has undoubtedly jumped to the top of my list for best seafood ever. DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE! What a complete gem. 👏 Literally could not stop myself from dancing at the first bite.

Exquisite service and friendly staff surrounded by elegance and class

The menu is excellent and the quality and presentation of food really perfect. Tucked in a corner on the edge of The Lanes, this restaurant has a slightly old world comfortable charm about it. It has been a while since we have found a restaurant that still offers savoury options on its dessert menu. The service is impeccable. But it is not inexpensive; and their wine list is rather overpriced (£10 plus for a glass of NZ Sauvignon Blanc is over egging it). Unfortunately, for that reason, it falls into “a special occasion” option.

We had the most wonderful meal to celebrate our civil partnership of 12 years. We were warmly welcomed at the door and taken to our table where two glasses of champagne arrived on the house. The food was amazing and the service very attentive without being intrusive. A somewhat hidden gem in the centre of Brighton. It was well worth the visit.

I went to English's recently with my Dad. When I made the reservation I asked for a quiet table where we would be able to talk easily. The restaurant took this request seriously and offered us a table in a small room - just perfect. The food is great, high quality fish, the service attentive and friendly without being overbearing and the price is fair. Highly recommended.

Always come to englishes when we are in Brighton. The best oysters I’ve ever had , superb service , outstanding food x the best in Brighton

Wonderful everything!!’Food is outstanding!

I am not one to write reviews, but credit where credit is due. If you want your meal to be more than just a meal, English's is able to deliver fantastic food, with great attentive service. We have visited the restaurant several times now and never had a bad meal, in fact the last meal was possibly the best meal we have been fortunate to enjoy. For the money you pay, you get more than your moneys worth. You are not rushed out the door, you are looked after with a minimum of fuss but maximum quality.

A real gem of a place. Booked in advance and sat enjoying amazing food and drinks for over 3 hours. Great table service, lovely atmosphere. We'll be back for sure!

Excellent. A great evening with first-class food and service. We visit English's whenever we come to Brighton, about every three or four years, and it never lets us down.

I wish they would try a little harder. Poorly shucked oysters, variable service, and not cheap. Miserable - in one word.

Been wanting to visit after great reviews and I was not disappointed, fabulous oysters and halibut 🥂sitting in the sun with great atmosphere 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Went here for lunch one day last week, ordered beers and fish and chips, food was as usual fabulous, the fish batter is just the best however we were going to have more drinks and a dessert but we’re not offered either just suddenly presented with a bill! Not the usual standard of service we expect from here.

Wonderful food.The fish was amazing. The staff were so lovely. Well worth a visit.

Amazing and friendly atmosphere. Great wines and fantastic seafood. We had a selection of oysters, the graved salmon tatar and an oyster shot as starter, followed by the lobster pasta and warm seafood platter.... simply amazing! Best seafood we had in a long time, and we love good seafood! Also, service is so attentive and professional !! We enjoyed an amazing evening in a great place.

If you want seafood perfection then this is the place Lovely ambience , friendly helpful staff and superb food Why not try an oyster , lots to choose from and everything explained My personal favourite is scallops to start followed by mussels Great choice of wine too

A long overdue first visit was a real delight. Delightful food, classy environment and wonderfully friendly service - will definitely be back soon. We are spoilt in Brighton with so many options, but testament to how long English's has been around that it's still packing them in! The team also made my dad's 90th a really special treat - thanks so much.

We have been twice recently both business & pleasure & it’s just delicious & quintessentially English. We love seafood so it’s the best place. We decided to sit upstairs as there were six of us. It was ideal as it’s more spacious & closer to the ladies. The staff are brilliantly trained. I had scallops which were perfectly cooked & seasoned. The wine is chilled just right. The mackerel pate is delicious. If your looking for good service, superb food & wine, look no further.

A fine old style restaurant. Good for seafood and service. Not cheap but not unreasonable. Disappointing bottle of Montagny Burgundy. Lovely colour but tart and sharp, disappointing for a wine that with the service charge is close to £60.

Was genuinely blown away by the quality of the food, which seems to get better every time I visit. We had the £40 set menu and every dish was thoughtfully put together and incredibly tasty. Together with attentive staff and a intimate but grand dining room and it really was the perfect evening. One of my favourite restaurants in Brighton.

The food was good but we missed the ambience created by Jonathan. I also was irritated by the fact that you’re given a very small roll and a tiny ‘tub’ of mackerel pâté. Reduced in size from the last time we visited. This is just allocated as soon as you sit down- creating an assumption- as it’s totally unsolicited and arbitrarily given, that this is ‘on the house’. However when receiving the hefty bill, I noticed it was charged even though I asked for mine to be taken away, as I didn’t want it!!! Not I feel conducive to encouraging one to return to the premises.

I’m m gluten free so always struggle in new places. Opted for the fish platter and it was amazing- gluten free battered oysters arrived with the platter and was totally delicious! Amazing meal, great house wine and very attentive service. Tag on google maps!!!

Excellent seafood, obviously, that's what it advertises and sells. We both had the catch of the day, and it was brill and huge, this is not a sardine. We foolishly ordered a side each and shared salad. I was somewhat embarrassed, because it is a very classy place, to ask for a doggy bag - I was not wasting that fish. However, the staff were not phased and were happy to oblige. I had salmon tartar and my husband had oysters to start - simply divine. It is not cheap but you get what you pay for and we have payed more for rubbish food in other places.

Visiting Brighton I decided to treat my friend to some oysters. We ordered from the blackboard in the window. We decided on 6 natives and 2 bloody Mary's, which we believed were going to be £6 each. It transpired that I had misread it and the advertised drinks were just shots. However the bar tender didn't ask me if I wanted shots or full cocktails. We sat at the bar but were then requested to move further down the bar to stools in front of the coat rack. Of course the inevitable happened and the waitress asked us to stand up so she could get some coats from the rack. When the bill arrived it was over £60, including a service charge of over £8. We sat at the bar so service was minimal. When I asked for a refund on the service charge I was only given back £6 because apparently the rest had suddenly become VAT. The waitress, whose only interaction with us had been to ask us to stand, made her displeasure obvious by banging a tray down on the counter. I can only presume that the staff aren't very well paid and have to rely on the service charge. In conclusion, make sure you read the menu carefully and beware of extra charges. There are a lot of better seafood restaurants in Brighton that offer much better value.

Lovely restaurant, great food. The Brill sharing main was delicious. A couple of dishes didn't really work though - the gravadlax was more like tartar, you couldn't taste the curing herbs because it was chopped too fine and covered in a mustard mayo and way too many almonds. The oysters were drained. We forgot to pre-order sides for our sharing mains, no one bothered to ask - hence the reduction in a service star. That said, the waitress was great. Overall, good food, love the setting (apart from the wall murals - time to move on from white only, middle aged rich people as decoration?) The food made up for the shortcomings.

We had the best time at English's on Sat. The food was excellent, fresh, well cooked and well presented, and the staff warm and welcoming, adding to the already wonderful family feel of the place and making the evening very enjoyable indeed. Nothing was too much trouble. A special thanks goes to Manu, who was an invaluable help in the run up to the dinner and during, together with the lovely young lady who served us all evening with a smile. Thank you!

First visit to English’s normally go to riddles and finn but was fully booked and English’s were doing a deal for first time visitors a free bottle of wine. We booked for a Saturday night at 7pm we were greeted by very friendly staff and shown to our table upstairs by the window. The staff were young but amazing customer service. The food was delicious and reasonably priced for a treat night. My only view was the restaurant was lacking ambience but as I appreciate some people would prefer the low key quite quiet restaurant. So not a negative but just not our cup of tea but once again food and staff 10/10

My wife and I visited English's for a dinner. You are served a small bread roll and a small portion of fish pate to start. My wife likes Oysters so decided to order herself half a dozen before the starter and main course. I asked...

Very lovely staff! Polite and attentive. Mackerel patè appetiser was divine, we ordered more ! Moules Mariniere was a great hit , frites delicious. We would definitely return to eat when in the area . My only criticism was the lack of background music !...

I feel compelled to post a review for Brighton's oldest fish restaurant, after an exceptional impromptu supper. We started with half a dozen delicious native oysters served on ice, followed by a superb fish and chips. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. Really enjoyed...

went down and had fish and chips and a couple of oysters each - 2 natives from S. Ireland and two rock from Jersey island - delicious bread roll and homemade smoked mackerel pate and a couple of glasses of excellent wine - All was fantastic and could not of asked for better - freshly prepared and cooked food at its best - thank you

We had the winter dinner set menu and unfortunately wasn’t enjoyable, for starters we had the salmon tartare, and the fried basket, both were awful, the tartare had the worst taste ever and the combination of ingredients was just not good, the fried basket was even worst, super oily and it was all butter, wouldn’t recommend, with non- existent pieces of seafood. For mains we decided to go for the dry beef rump as we thought that they couldn’t go wrong with the steak, however was more than average. For the dessert we had the sticky toffe which we could only had a few spoons of because it was way too sweet and heavy, and the pistachio tart, that again, was very average. The service was okay and our waitress was lovely, however the atmosphere was very boring, I like quite and chill places too but this place was way too boring for me, you could barely hear any music in the background and it was hard to have a conversation as you could hear everyone’s conversations. I also made a note on the booking saying that we were celebrating a gender reveal and was expecting something for dessert, just as an advice these notes are really important and sometimes just writing on the dessert congratulations makes a huge difference for any occasion. The place looks nice, but I wouldn’t go back to dine unfortunately

Visited Brighton for the first time and had a fantastic experience at English's! Every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. My servers were very friendly and attentive

What an amazing experience! Everything was absolutely perfect! The ambience, the service from the wonderful Ella and of course the food. The food was divine. We got the hot sharing platter with loads of seafood and fish. As it was Friday, they had a special offer of 15% discount for the platter. They also ensured that all of our dietary requirements were met. Definitely one of the best and memorable dining experiences we had.

Really enjoyed the food, pricey, but a great evening.

My favourite restaurant in Brighton

We had dinner for my sons 21st Birthday. The menu has meat options for those who don’t like fish & limited options for vegetarians. Quality of food & the service was very good.

English's of Brighton is an iconic seafood restaurant and oyster bar. The food was delicious. I had the fish pie which was divine, beautifully presented, full of fish and flavour. Our group also thoroughly enjoyed the seabass and classic fish and chips. A must go destination for seafood and champagne.

We booked a table online and received a warm welcome on arrival. This is a proper old-fashioned seafood restaurant, well presented and clean with a crisp white tablecloth on the tables. Service is outstanding, warm and friendly. We had the hot seafood sharing platter and...

Came here with my wife to celebrate my recent retirement. It's a place close to my heart with many great memories and it certainly hasn't changed which is all positive. Old fashioned service, greeted at door, coats taken, seated promptly and very friendly, not often...

You know what you are getting at English's. Proper service, proper table linen, super wine list, the best oysters, traditional menu of expertly cooked fish. Expensive - Yes, Does it deliver - Absolutely. We shared the bread & mackerel pate, oysters, 700gm dover sole, mashed...

Amazing food and a lovely atmosphere. Perfect for my husbands 40th birthday celebration. Staff were very attentive and knowledabgle

Cibo buonissimo e cameriera gentilissima, assolutamente da non mancare.

visited just few days before new year with friends, never disappointed and my friends all love it.

Très bon restaurant avec de très bon produits de la mer. À recommander.

A Brighton institution Excellent oysters and champagne followed by scallops and Dover sole.

Beautiful place, service and delicious fresh, healthy food…..I strongly recommend and would definitely come back! Sorry could only add a photo of what was left on the plate. Now for dessert! 👌🏽

Superb.. this place for me was as good as riddle and Finn … which I wasn’t expecting.. hot platter for two was excellent. And great value too

The place to go for excellent quality food.with an excellent atmosphere

Excellent as always. Thanks for a lovely dinner!

A lovely treat, always better mid week. Weekends are a bit hectic
