Lex’s Cafe in Brighton and Hove

Generous portion of succulent scampi with crispy golden chips and a decent fresh salad. Quick service with a friendly smile. Clearly frequented by regulars which has to be a good sign.

Ordered fish and chips. While waiting at the collection point, I observed staff preparing food. Which included distribution of salad onto plates WITH THEIR BARE HANDS! They could have used gloves, or a thongs! There were no safety shoes worn. Flip- flops and training shoes! A total breech of health and Safety regulations… with that, why should they be bothered about food hygene standards!!

huge portions - sandwiches, chips and ice cream, friendly staff - what more could one want? brilliant

Came here for a coffee after a terrible experience at a near by Restaurant. What a difference, Lex's is a real gem of a cafe, good choice of tea / coffee and ice creams to make your mouth water. We had just eaten so did not buy food however what we saw being served looked very appetizing. Certainly we will be back to try the Fish & Chips.

Expensive for very average food which is a shame as it has a great location at the top of the beach. This section is also open to dogs all year around, which is why we came, but will bring a picnic next timer.
