Harry Ramsden's World Famous Fish & Chips in Brighton and Hove

Great location, pleasant staff❤️

Amazing place and an amazing meal. Can’t fault it.

Karina, Ollie, Sruthy, Jenson provided an amazing service. Really friendly! Thank you.

Katina served us and was lovely very nice fish and chips thank you

Service was very friendly. We had the regular haddock with tartare and mushy peas. £15+. The price is high for so much competition around. With the menu claiming that the fish is fried to order we did not enjoy why the food came out luke warm, both fish and chips. This was not enjoyable. We enjoyed the batter and taste of the fish although bordering onto cold. The chips were just the right amount for regular size. Their quality was good too. So for the price so far it was going well. The tartare sauce like others said was very good and recommended but it comes as standard anyways. We would eat here again if we were feeling flush. Being new to Brighton we had to try it once at least. We would this time send the food back if it wasn’t hot.

I recently visited Harry Ramsden’s in Brighton and left with mixed feelings. I ordered a large fish and chips meal via their app, which included tartar sauce and mushy peas. While the fish was nicely cooked and the chips were quite satisfying, the overall quality was underwhelming given the hype surrounding this iconic chippy. The tartar sauce was a standout - rich in flavor and definitely the highlight of the meal. In contrast, the curry sauce was disappointingly bland, lacking any flavour. We also tried the fish burger, which turned out to be merely average, but the scampi was a pleasant surprise with generous portions and a satisfying taste. However, it did come with too many extra chips, which felt a bit excessive. Their Halloumi bites were delicious, even then they only brought a few pieces first and 15mins later they brought three more pieces. They seemed little disorganised. Service-wise, the staff were courteous and helpful. We experienced a minor hiccup when our order was delayed - after 25 minutes, we were informed of a problem with their digital queues and told the food would arrive within the next 10 minutes. They delivered as promised, which was appreciated, though it didn’t fully make up for the other issues. One final letdown was the cutlery. Initially, the set we received was dirty and covered with food marks. After asking for a replacement, the new set was similarly unclean until we requested a proper cleaning. Despite the longstanding reputation of Harry Ramsden’s and the allure of their famous fish and chips, I found the meal to be overpriced for the average quality provided. I left feeling that my local chippy offers a far superior experience, and I’m unlikely to return in the future.

Lovely Serve - Karina! Smiley and welcomed up nicely!

Always a fresh and tasty meal, great customer service from the team too! Very kind :)

Karina & Alfie were very welcoming. Calm, relaxing place for My Wife, Baby and me. Good food, quick service

Great food, excellent service, amazing atmosphere. Karina/Alfie was very helpful. I would rate it 10/10

Excellent service, clean and friendly staff.

Alfie was very lovely and had great service

Even though the sit-down restaurant had many available tables, we were given a 40 minute wait for a table, so seems like staffing is an issue. We went to the take-away counter next door, and only one of the 5 mandatory use electronic ordering kiosks was functioning. However, about 10 minutes after ordering, our food appeared with malt vinegar and salt available for free (all other condiments are a separate fee and must be ordered in advance). Prices above average, fish was excellent , fries were good (not crunchy) and very large portion. No seating in the take-away area at all. Overall fine but wouldn't go out of my way to this particular place to be honest.

Had the Fish Afternoon Tea. Good selection to enjoy and the desserts were wonderful

Hemos estado aquí un par de veces. Me temo que después de esta visita probablemente no volveremos de nuevo porque aunque el servicio era bueno la comida no lo era. Gerkin para mi esposa no se corta tan difícil de comer. Gravy, aunque sabroso, estaba en un recipiente muy pequeño y tenía muchos grumos en él. Las patatas fritas se veían y sabían horrible. De color marrón muy oscuro, suave, distendido y con un sabor extraño. Era como si hubieran sido cocinados hace siglos y mantenidos calientes. Las salchichas en la masa no tenían una capa de masa crujiente. La mesa estaba pegajosa y el piso estaba sucio. Necesita una buena limpieza. Esto fue justo después de su apertura, no más tarde en el día. No me quejé en ese momento porque el personal estaba muy ocupado. Cuando pagamos no nos preguntaron si todo estaba bien. Probablemente buscaremos una tienda de patatas fritas más pequeña cuando estemos en Brighton. Nuestro chippy local en Fulham produce chips de mejor calidad, salsa y salchicha por el mismo precio.

We have been here a few times. I’m afraid to say after this visit we will probably not come again because although the service was good the food was not. Gerkin for my wife not sliced so tricky to eat. Gravy, although tasty, was in a very small container and had lots of lumps in it. The chips looked and tasted awful. Very dark brown in colour, soft, floppy and had a strange taste. It was as if they had been cooked ages ago and kept warm. Sausages in batter did not have a crispy batter coating. The table was sticky and the floor was dirty. It needs a good clean. This was just after it opened, not later in the day. I did not complain at the time because the staff were very busy. When we paid we were not asked if everything was ok. Will probably look to find a smaller chip shop when we are next in Brighton. Our local chippy in Fulham produces better quality chips, gravy and sausage for the same price.

My experience was very nice, the place is clean and they are very good. I recommend it to everyone

Excellent food. Excellent service. Would highly recommend. Took 20 mins for the order to arrive but that’s what you should expect for fresh fish and chips.

We attended the restaurant this evening and had this been our first visit it would have been our last! The attention to detail from the waitress was not at all to detail, they forgot the order before even leaving the table. We ordered cod and chips and in one of the meals found several large bones had this been at the begining of the meal I would have left it so grateful more towards the end. When we spoke to the waitress it was dismissed quickly and as if it was an inconvenience. They came across as not caring and very dismissive. Such a shame as a previous visit was a completely different experience.

The fish is immaculate could not find a fault so meaty and moreish what an excellent meal!!

Delicious fish and chips, friendly and efficient service. Would definitely recommend :)

The explanation was very kind and the fish and chips were delicious😊 It was a great restaurant to eat on the coast.

Great place. Karina was very helpful and was a joy to be served by. Highly recommend.

Had a great fish and chips at Harry Ramsden’s Brighton. Karina and all were friendly and helpful.

A wonderful location with the best tasting food. Friendly courteous staff and a good atmosphere. Can't recommend enough.

Great food and customer service, the food was so fresh.

It's good, but there's better. It's a somewhat legendary fish and chip restaurant, but it's a little expensive for my taste. The place is pretty good, very close to the sea, and not too far from the center.

Excellent attention and kindness from your staff Karina, Harrison Jenson.

Karina has been super good with all my friends, we are very happy.

Delicious food, nice service and staff

We were served by Alfie in the Brighton restaurant it was great service. The afternoon tea for two was great

Fish and chips were delicious. Great service from Alfie and Ronnie - thank you so much guys.

Lovely fish, good curry sauce! Karina was our server and she is a gem, recommend

I found this place while looking for fish and chips in Brighton. The staff is very friendly and you can also order via QR code if you feel uncomfortable. Among the sauces, the pea sauce is delicious~

Fish was wonderful and the serve was as well. The chips tasted like the oil needed to be refreshed, otherwise all was very good.

The staff were fabulous, particularly Karina. The food was very good, but would have been better had it been served on warm plates. Because it wasn’t it had cooled down before I finished it. But I found the background music rather irritating and anything but relaxing.

Really enjoyed my meal here. Experience was really well rounded, the nice young chap Alfie made it a special afternoon for us.

Went for the afternoon tea which was very good. The member of staff Alfie was friendly and welcoming, would go again

The customer service was brilliant from the two guys serving us. Had a lovely afternoon tea experience. Couldn’t have asked for a more pleasant visit.

Food was great and Alfie was very helpful, top guy.

I had a fantastic experience at Harry Ramsden’s! The food was absolutely delicious – perfectly cooked and full of flavor. What really stood out though was the service. Alfie took care of us and made us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we arrived. His friendly and attentive service really made the meal even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back again soon. Highly recommend!

Fantastic service from Alfie, Ruby and Oliver at the Brighton venue, very friendly and attentive. Quality of the afternoon tea was excellent. Such a novel approach to a traditional afternoon tea, thoroughly recommend.

This was my first time at Harry's and what a joy. We were served and looked after by the beautiful and highly professional Ruby. She was informative, attentive, and on point with the allergy information. She was exactly what a staff member should be. Harry's give that lady a raise.

We had a lovely afternoon - Christmas present of the Harry Ramsden afternoon tea, scrumptious. The staff, Alfie, Ruby and Oliver were super welcoming and the service was exceptional, we were very well looked after. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you for a lovely afternoon tea, very well prepared and both Ruby and Alife were very helpful and friendly! Come again thank you! :-)

Thank you for your service food really nice . Had a wonderful afternoon.. Ruby and Alfie was very friendly and helpful..

Great food. Nice and friendly staff ... however, the room feels cold, and I have had that unconformable feeling of not being able to remove my jacket. So, despite food being great, it feels not cosy.

Great food and was served by Jenson who was very attentive and kind!

amazing food and service from jenson and ronnie! promote ronnie to CEO asap 🙏

Extremely friendly and helpful host Ronnie followed up by insanely fast food delivery and tasty meal by chef Jenson. 10/10 service couldn’t recommend any more, best fish and chips in Brighton.

Alfie was very helpful and a good host

Very nice place, Jenson and Ronnie especially was very attentive! Would come here again!

Love the atmosphere! Jenson and Ronnie especially was welcoming and I would definitely come here again!

Jenson and Ronnie gave great customer service, really friendly !!! Would be great if they had halal food

Alfie was a good waiter and jenson I hear was the magic chef

20 January 2025 We had a delicious fish supper at Ramsdens this evening the chips were tasty snd haddock crisp served with a delicious pot of tea. Our hosts Katrina was super lovely very attentive and proffesional. The rest of the team Harrison Jenson Ollie and Sam also made the evening special. Thank You we will be back soon!

It’s very nice cod fish, and the sausage is amazing. The flavor of the pickled cucumber is just right; I love it so much. Also the good value for the afternoon tea. Thanks for Karina, Harrison and Jenson.

Great food here , Jenson and Alfie nailed the service as well - spot on 👍

Alfie was a very good waiter and Jenson had definitely cooked with magic

Waiter Alfie made us feel welcome and Jenson cooked some great fish

Food was really good and quick service. Jenson was great!

We tried afternoon tea fish and chips it was really delicious and it was enough for two people. Absolutely worth the price, the desert was really tasty. The service was great we asked for more mushed peas it was totally really good. Clean and the food was fresh.

Very nice staff. Freshly cooked food. Very surprised how nice it was.

Delicious food and wonderful service from Jenson! Would recommend and would go back again.

Great food and pudding was a bonus. I will do it again. Right near the seafront. Alfie was brilliant and welcomed us making the experience even better. . We will be back soon.

Very good,service,food.Alfie is calm and attentive

Alfie was very welcoming and we had a lovely time. Food was perfect on a cold January day. Afternoon tea was a great idea. We will be back! Thank you.

First time in Harry Ramsden’s and was really impressed.. was greeted by a lovely young man called Jenson.. I always go for cod but he recommended the haddock and it didn’t disappoint! Lovely meal and Jenson is a credit to the team, polite and friendly. We will be back

Jenson and Alfie provided excellent customer service, very friendly atmosphere

Fish and chips was great. Batter was crisp and fresh. Nicely welcomed by Oliver when entering and had a great time being served by him. Great experience overall would recommend

Lovely food and atmosphere Very warm welcome by Jenson Overall very happy with my visit

Foods great, brilliant atmosphere Staff are great, especially Ronny and Jensen. Will come again

Lovely food. Friendly staff. A nice place to go for a meal.

Come all the way from Singapore for the fish & chips, really worth the trip.

Very quiet restaurant, but prime location could be a time of year thing. But Harrison and Ruby were very nice and attentative. Can't beat their fish and chips for sure

Friendly welcome for our group. The over sixties lunch offer was amazing value. The fish and chips were perfect and so was the bread and butter pudding. The way we were treated by Jenson made a lovely end to a great day out. Thanks so much.

Tuvimos una experiencia de "té de la tarde" que elegimos utilizar mientras visitábamos Brighton. Nuestra reserva fue a las 12: 15 y al llegar el restaurante estaba prácticamente vacío. Durante nuestra visita llegó un puñado de personas, pero dado el tamaño del restaurante se sentía vacío y tristemente, como resultado, carecía de ambiente. Además, pasamos un fin de semana particularmente frío y ventoso. El restaurante era tan frío en todo, incluyendo los baños, que no era ideal. También estaba un poco cansado. El té de la tarde en sí fue agradable. Disfrutamos de nuestro plato principal que consistía en unas patatas fritas, salchichas rebozadas, pepinillos rebozados, aros de cebolla rebozados y un pequeño trozo de bacalao en un bollo de hamburguesa, junto a unas salsas y guisantes machacados. La comida era sabrosa y caliente, pero se enfrió rápidamente debido a la temperatura del restaurante y las últimas piezas estaban por lo tanto frías cuando llegamos a ellos. El prosecco era más que bebible. Nos sorprendió que esto también incluyera algunos postres. Estos no fueron de nuestro agrado (buñuelos de plátano con natillas) y algún tipo de pastel húmedo, pero eso se debe puramente a nuestras propias preferencias personales. Todo el personal era atento y agradable. En general, tuvimos un buen tiempo, pero no nos apresuramos a volver a este restaurante en particular.

Staffs are super friendly and the location is great, right near the Brighton pier. AND free cake for my birthday 🎂

This was 2nd time to come to the same restaurant. Nice fish and chips as last time we had. Never feel disappointed with its fried fish. I like cod, although haddock is its famous one.😋😋 Not busy because neither lunch nor dinner time. So, no waiting. However, I don’t know why this restaurant looks like short of hands. There was only one staff for order taking, cashier, and table cleaning… he was very very nice and friendly. Great staff! I remember we come last year the same season… there was only 1-2 staff to service customers too. Hope they were paid well😉 (Rated 4 stars for service is not because not great service but for not enough number of staff for service.)

Friendly welcome, fast service and the “fish & chips” was very good with good value for money. You have at your disposal cutlery, napkins, salt and vinegar. The take-away bag is very durable and thick so it doesn't leak everywhere. THANKS. I recommend +++. Price: £15.36 for the fish & chips menu, brown sauce with drink + pickle + onion and 2 tartar sauces

Alf and Ollie were brilliant, very attentive, friendly and professional. Food was superb, we had the afternoon tea with Prosecco. Totally recommended it was great!

Food was disgusting lovely staff

Nos empujaron en una pequeña mesa junto a una pareja a pesar de que el lugar estaba vacío como acababa de abrir. Nos preguntamos si podíamos sentarnos en otro lugar y nos dijeron por el gerente que no había ordenado sus reservas todavía y que le tomaría al menos una hora para hacerlo. No es una gran experiencia de atención al cliente. Además la música sonaba. No volveremos después de una experiencia tan mala. No recomendaría.

Staff always helpful and friendly. Food consistently good, although potions have been getting smaller over the years. However this can be said for most places now.

Jensen the chef was great, lovely fresh food and good atmosphere. Jensen and Ronnie were a great representation of Harry ramsdens

Lovely birthday evening with my colleague and best friend Marvin the Maggot

All good as expected. No point looking up and down the front when you know the food is so goofed here

If you come to the UK, please come here. Brighton restaurants. The fish and chips are delicious and there is even a vegetarian menu.

The food was delightful and the atmosphere was very nice the service was nice

Nice location over looking the pier. More of a cafe than restaurant feel. Food lovely November Friday discount a bonus.

Fantastic customer service and the food was great. The team members Ruby and Alfie were very helpful and the food was brought put promptly. Would definitely recommend!

Very giod food and excellent friendly service from Karina.

Karina was fantastic, warm and welcoming.

Great service from Karina who was very friendly and welcoming. Chef went over and above what we expected by going out to get strawberries for the Eton Mess dessert as they had run out. Most impressed. All food was good quality, well cooked and nicely presented.

16£ for a fish and chips. The fish is no thicker than two fingers. To be fair it was tasty

Was a great time, also the waiters are fit

Oakley was astounding. Food was amazing and service was super fast. Our aforementioned server, Oakley was incredible, amazing service and cool shirt! Very polite and seemed in control. Very smooth and reliable service. Perfect night out.

Very welcoming.quality food,served quickly.Great view of the seafront.waiter check on how customers are doing as they dine.i will definitely recommend this place.

The best fish and chips in town!

Excellent service, particularly by our waiter Harrison R who was extremely helpful and polite. The food was also very nice and served quickly.
