Food served on plastic plates. Expensive. Argued with owner that tempura is a batter not breadcrumbs, said I would change for something else which was a £1.00 more expensive and she made the young girl go get the card machine before I could reorder! Dreadful customer service and food very poor

My sister and I went to Brighton today and decided to have lunch at the Grand Junction on the seafront like we have many times before. It must have changed hands however as the menu was essentially just burgers with one cod and chips on offer. The prices have doubled compared to previous times we’ve been. The burger I had wasn’t great and was very fatty so I left that and just ate the fried egg and chips. The meal cost me £17.00 including a glass of water and was very overpriced for what it was. The owner insisted the payment hadn’t gone through for the meal and wanted to charge me again so I had to go online to my bank account to prove the payment had gone through. As we walked back into the shops after lunch we passed many restaurants offering 2 courses for £12.00 and the food looked lovely so we’ll go somewhere else next time.

Once entered we stood at the counter waiting to be seated (since it was supposed to be table service! Many members of staff walking past us; no-one acknowledging our presence let alone helping. Eventually my wife found a table on her own and went to sit down. We eventually ordered at the counter. I was told that I could not have a small fish & chips and that only the large was available if I wanted it. I changed my meal to tempura as I did not want a large meal. We sat down waiting for the food/drinks to arrive. It took a while before we saw our drinks being taken over to another table. The people on this table directed the waitress to us. One drink was missing, another was wrong then to add insult to injury, I was told that the meal I had just been sold was also not available. The waitress was totally unapologetic and just shouted 'in this weather it just depends what is delivered on the day'. Did she not know what had been delivered that morning before trying to sell it? This place is such a shambles. People standing around not knowing what to do. Lots of selling up and selling of non-existent dishes. Not Covid safe; people turning up after us simply had two coats removed from the backs of chairs and they were seated with no wiping down. Overall, just a panicky, money-making, unsafe environment. We demanded our money back and found somewhere else to eat. We would not revisit for a free meal. Where are all the positive reviews coming from? Do not touch with a bargepole!

Pedimos las piezas de pollo y patatas fritas y hamburguesa de pollo por su cuenta. La cantidad de papas fritas en la comida fue un insulto y esperaría que la comida de un niño, servida en un plato pequeño para probar y me parezca más grande, supongo. . . La hamburguesa de pollo estaba bien, pero era cara para no incluir patatas fritas. Cuando se le preguntó si nuestra comida estaba bien, le dije que no estábamos contentos con el tamaño de la comida de pollo y que era más como una comida para niños, la señora preguntó si nos gustaría comprar una porción extra de papas fritas para 3. 4 5 Me negué como nunca esperaría pagar tanto por una porción tan pequeña. Luego se marchó para prepararse el almuerzo. El lugar estaba vacío y olía muy fuerte a aceite de cocina sucio. Más adelante hay un chippy realmente encantador al que desearía haber ido ya que sus tamaños son los que debería ser una tienda de chips. ¡Definitivamente recomiendo caminar! !

Estábamos en Brighton y nos apetecía pescado y patatas fritas, nos topamos con este lugar, el menú se veía bien, el lugar se veía limpio, ofrecía asientos al aire libre en la playa, lo cual era una ventaja, el pescado y las patatas fritas eran muy agradables, el pescado estaba un color blanco como la nieve y la masa estaba bien dorada y crujiente, también se podía ver cómo se cocinaba, lo cual siempre encuentro una ventaja, el personal fue muy educado y amable, también notamos que tan pronto como otros clientes terminaron su comida y dejó que el personal estaba desinfectando la mesa y las sillas, recomendaría este lugar y volvería a visitarlo cuando esté en Brighton.

Yuk, £7.95 for a big breakfast that was small. The sausages had a unusual flavor, not taste of meat at all. Hash brown was frozen, everything was tasteless, best thing I had was a cuppa tea, now I am walking around feeling nauseated, it may have 5 star hygiene rating but have to say worst breakfast I have had in my life. If you can't cook a hash brown, you can't cook.

Nice staff on the positive. Nice peas too Over priced portion of rubbery cold chips served in a small plastic bowl £3 that i thought was cat food going by the look of it and the size of the portion you just wouldn’t serve. The fish was old too sadly and even the 6cm pickled onion with an old pickle sliced up Though nice the service was quite poor and it was uneasy seeing staff and their children scoffing behind the counter. It’s off putting especially when you’re waiting for service that doesn’t come. That’s not to mention the way the place looked but I want to just forget about it and never visit again. It’s busy as it’s at the bottom of the steps. Don’t make yourself sick by going there

How can i be polite...it was rank!!! The strangest experience i have ever had, as we were deciding on what to have the guy taking the order stood over us huffing and puffing, there was no one else there so he wasnt rushed. The sausage was very odd indeed, very sweet tasting with no meat flavour..im sure its been no where near a pig. My advice leave this place alone. Its best closed!!!

We were hassled twice by one waitress for money for the bill whilst we were eating and were told ‘my boss is getting angry about you not paying’ after we weren’t told to pay upfront, and then after I’ve already paid, been asked by one of the men who work here if we’ve already paid. The hot dog was anaemic and we got served our meals in kids plastic bowls. Will not be coming here again.

Just walked down to find somewhere to get tea and sat on the outside tables, we had just bought chips from an other place and thought it okay to sit as we were going to buy from them . A lady came out and told us that we couldn't eat outside food and when we said we were going to buy from their cafe she told us that the shop was closing. At 4pm. Unlikely. She blatantly lied to us instead of explaining that no sort of external food was allowed. Unjustifiable to lie to potential customers just to get rid of them.

Me and my family came here last weekend and we were horrified. Firstly when we entered all the staff stood there at the door and stared at us. We then sat at a table and they gave us menus. We ordered drinks and we all had coke. The cups were plastic (not very good) I asked for a Diet Coke and had it thrown basically on the table. We then ordered all had fish an chips. It tasted nice until I put my fork in the fish an a bloody worm come out. It was dead but straight away put me off my food. Also I turned around and they were washing plastic plates up in a sink with dirty water. Everything about this place wasn’t good it got worse as we sat there. I wouldn’t return I’m sure there is plenty of other fish an chip places which are much better then here. Awful. Don’t recommend!!

For a restaurant that advertises "gourmet" food, it could not be further from the truth. Menus grubby, toilets grubby, grubby hand towel in the toilets and that's before I've even got to the food. For a Saturday lunchtime, they had no mushy peas left, the only sparkling water option was a £1.40 plastic cup of soda water. The fish and chips were terrible - overcooked, dry and the chips were cheap oven chips. I'm amazed this restaurant has so many good reviews, I can honestly say it's the most disappointing lunch we've ever had.

Escondido bajo la avenida principal, el café es un lugar acogedor. No esperes que te cautiven con accesorios elegantes, sino que tiene una sensación de cafetería tradicional con un guiño a sus mods y ubicación de rockeros. Servicio amable y eficiente. Nuestra camarera fue oportuna y cortés. Los niños tenían chips de huevo y frijoles (caliente y fresco) y teníamos buen pescado viejo y papas fritas. El batido era liviano y crujiente (no soporto el bateador espeso y grueso) y las papas son deliciosas. Una pieza de bacalao de tamaño decente que era jugosa y suave. Precio razonable y excelente ubicación para ver el muelle y el mar.

Having queued at a restaurant just along from this one for twenty minutes only to be told they had run out of food, this was the next eatery along the front. We received a nice welcome from the waitress and ordered. A large fresh cod and plate of chips £6.95. Bargain, in my book. The lunch was well cooked and was served within 10 minutes. If there is a better bargain than this along the seafront in Brighton, I would be amazed. Really pleased that the original choice ran out of food.

Normalmente nos dan el pescado y patatas fritas de la cabina en la parte delantera del muelle y sentarse en la playa. Sin embargo, fue un día muy caliente, la playa estaba llena y cuando pasamos vimos algunas mesas vacías por lo que elegimos para comer aquí. Los precios eran casi la misma que en el muelle, y tendrá la ventaja de estar en un buen asiento en una mesa de metal y tienen un cuchillo y tenedor de madera, en vez de una muy pequeña que obtiene con una comida para llevar.

Me resulta difícil creer que personas han dado 5 estrellas a este lugar. Nos recibió un camarero muy amable conversador y me dijeron que tome una mesa. Él era el mejor del lugar. El pescado estaba tan grasienta que era incomible y era sólo ligeramente mejor después de haber eliminado el bateador. Mis hijas burger también estaba nadando en grasa y las patatas fritas no tenía sabor. Dejamos la mayoría de ellos. Sábado y esperamos una eternidad para la cuenta que nunca llegó, así que al final tuve que ir a la factura. Parecía inclinado a la bienvenida, pero una vez allí totalmente desinteresados. Evitar.

We ate here last week on a day trip to Brighton. There is a similar one a little further down which we had our fish and chips at before and was very nice. To me fish and chips at the beach should be like a take away, this is made to order - which I wouldn't complain about, but with 2 young kids had I known that we probably wouldn't have eaten at!I had the fish and chips and I found the whole thing very greasy and whilst my mother in law enjoyed it, I wasn't overwhelmed with the food as you should be with fish and chips at the seaside! Another point - whilst they are not alone I was not too happy with the options for kids drinks and when mine had apple juice (which they love!) This cost more than the adult drinks.We sat outside, but inside smelt because of all the grease being cooked.I feel a little harsh giving 2, I did toy with giving 3 as it wasn't by any means horrific, but there were too few positives to raise my opinion.

Visited this cafe on seafront, really busy but looked ok. Once in and had a look round, we didn't feel like we could just leave, it looked grubby and the staff were not in the slightest bit interested in offering any level of customer service. Ordered fish and chips - ok - but nothing to write home about, chips were not good ! Really overpriced. The worst thing was the grey haired man (we guessed to be the owner), he was shouting, language was foul, staff looked like "bunnies in the headlights" not entertaining at all - and we were hoping the kids didn't repeat what they heard !! All in all - don't be tempted, you will be out of pocket and the floor show is Fawlty Towers meets Roy Chubby Brown !

We live locally, but had never been in this Fish and Chip restaurant before. The outside doesn't look too bad, which drew us in. Turned out to be a bit of a mistake! We chose to sit inside as it was a cold day. It's difficult to describe the staff, but 'professional' is not a word we would use. The interior is unusual, resembling a scruffy builders caff: Un-matched furniture, radio playing behind counter too loudly, uneven tables, with sticky plastic table cloths, small straight backed chairs, old dark varnished wood and poor decor abound. Near where we sat, was an empty chiller cabinet with a full size beach canoe perched on it and plastic display of flowers which they obviously place outside normally. WHY? We were handed the menu's and each chose Fish and Chips with a tea/coffee. The prices were expensive compared to the many similar establishments in the South Coast region.The meal was hot and the Fish not bad, but as a Fish and Chip restaurant they need to pay more attention to the quality of batter. I suspect the chips had been bought in frozen, even though they were deep fried. Meal was further let down because it was served up on cheap plastic multi-coloured plates and peculiarly thin knives and forks.Overall this restaurant deserved better. It is in a prime position near the Pier and I worry that overseas visitors attracted by the English love of Fish and Chips will wonder what all the fuss is about. This is a prime example of the 'Worst of British'. We will never go there again.

An employee threw me out while I was feeding my baby saying they were closing the place and he needed to tidy the chair. There were other chairs but he refused for me to finish. He came back after a few minutes pushing a massive bin and hit the pram and a disabled customer with it! Horrible people. Should change job and not be in contact with the public.

We came across this cafe and noted the sign saying line caught fish. This was a fish and chip cafe.The service we received was excellent and they were very friendly.We sat outside in the sun which was lovely. Our drinks were brought out, followed shortly by the fish and chips. I thought the fish was lovely, but the chips what a disappointment. They appeared to be reheated and had a really strange flavour. You know when you buy seaside doughnuts and they have that sweet oily taste, well that's what the chips tasted of!!! They were oven chips not fresh at all. We used the toilets and passed the fryer with huge plastic containers of the chips, which looked precooked as they had colour on them!!!We used the toilets but ended up using the men's as the others seemed occupied. Very small area and worryingly no running water!!!! I was very disappointed in the cafe, and I wish I had read the reviews before we stopped here. They certainly didn't agree with me!!!!!!!!!!

I was looking forward to sampling Brighton's legendary fish and chips. Unfortunately, this cafe didn't live up to the billing. The service was good, the cuppa was nice and I enjoyed the seaside atmosphere. However, the fish and chips were a bit disappointing. The chips were lukewarm and appeared to be more like oven chips than the traditional chip shop variety. I'm sure there are better places for fish and chips in Brighton, so probably wouldn't come back to this one.

Well this was different, in a strange but good way. Greeted by "are you eating or drinking". As eating we were given a menu and soon decided that fish and chips was the order of the day, with mug of tea and cans of coke. Tea arrived promptly and was indeed most welcome on a freezing cold December day. While waiting for the food, mien host came over to ask from where we where from. He seems well travelled as every one who came in was asked the same question to which the reply was he knew it well. The food turn up and was eagerly eaten, and it was very hot fresh and tasty. Half a through we were again asked from where we came and am not sure if he was aware he had already asked this question. Would I go again? Yes. And that's the best a cafe can ask for a yes for would you go again. Value very good and worthwhile

Been here before and happy to return. Cod and chips and salmon fish cake and chips both very good and great value too.

...and we'd probably still be waiting if we hadn't given up after an hour of being ignored and moved on. I can't comment on the food as it never arrived. Neither did a menu. On the plus side, we got to sit in the sunshine on Brighton beach for an hour without having to hire a deckchair.

How can you call yourself a fish and chip shop , advertising "line caught cod " and then serve it with oven cooked chips !! Poor show I say ! Very poor ! Otherwise it was okay , cod was very good , good mushy peas , but but but , fake chips ! Must do better !

Fish, chips, peas and a bottle of water £19.10......feeling like I've just had my pants pulled down, large cod I think he meant goldfish, watery peas and crispy chip. It maybe Brighton buts it's not London central. Shite is all I can think of really!

Place has gone seriously down hill and tonight I downloaded their app in the hope of getting a hot meal delivered! Not the case, took over an hour and a half to deliver cold food. No apology and disgustingly rude driver. NEVER EVER AGAIN!!
