Their publicity posters say 'best fish and chips'. Well this was the worst cod and chips we had. The cod was tasteless as was the frozen chips.

This was to celebrate 66 years since I met my lovely wife Sheila. We enjoyed excellent service, a sharing platter of seafood and they very kindly gave us a complimentary glass of Prosecco. Made a perfect day and many thanks.

I took my girlfriend here hoping for some decent fish and chips, but was left disappointed. The cod was rubbery, dry, and lacked any fresh flavor. It felt more like a tourist trap than a quality spot. Wouldn’t recommend—avoid.

On a most glorious sunny afternoon in Brighton, a friend and I took the trip to the Sussex coast and had lunch at this venue; I'm a frequent visitor. Well it didn't disappoint. The fish and chips was excellent and well proportioned. We didn't wait long for it - literally within 15 mins of ordering. While waiting had a hot chocolate and my word it was so good. It was the best hot chocolate I've tasted in a very long while. Not sure what product/brand they used but it was so good I had another!! The food and service was on point. Very friendly staff and the views outside are wonderful..those large white seagulls..oh my - they can be vicious!! It was amusing to watch them swooping in and taking people's food but also somewhat terrifying. Brighton council need to look into this as visitors are somewhat under siege. In this restaurant, sitting inside rather than outside, there is a refuge away from the persistent birds, with fine wines and cocktails to order and a wide range of other food items. It's a really great spot and long may it continue. I've been on numerous occasions and would also say that now, you have to pay a £1 to enter the pier these days, and not sure whether that will keep the roaring trade or begin to dwindle it. It all starts with a £1. to test the public and before you know it..it's rising but the pier is in need of repair and so funding it makes sense!!

Went to the takeaway bar and ordered the two fish cakes with chips which was a very reasonable price. I shared it with my daughter but we couldn’t eat all of it as the portion is a very good size even for two sharing. Although it took a while for the food to be ready, we didn’t mind as it was cooked to order and not sitting around, we had a lovely view from the outside table and the sun was out so no problem there. The food was really tasty and I’d definitely return for more. As for the other reviews about the kitchen staff arguing, I find it hilarious as if you'd ever seen or worked inside a working kitchen as I have, you’d know that it’s all just banter, you’ve got to be a bit tough in a kitchen as it’s a hot stressful job, you just don’t usually see it from your cool and comfy seat at the table! I didn’t witness anything other than professional behaviour from all staff here on this visit though.

We had traditional fish and chips with mushy peas and a pot of tea. The fish was excellent, chips crisp and freshly cooked. Everything was nicely served and very good value for money. Only one criticism; the tea was served American fashion with the tea bag separate from the teapot. This is not the way British people expect a pot of tea.

We sat down for a family lunch here just to witness a manager probably in his 50’s touching multiple female waitresses that looked in their 20’s, he kept tickling them and putting his hands on them, it was extremely unprofessional, uncomfortable and it appeared staff morale went down when he was around. Will never return to this restaurant, however the food was good and the staff were good except the manager obviously, his behaviour was disgusting.

We decided to take 5 of our residents living with Dementia for a fish and chip lunch on Brighton pier today, to reminisce and people watch. We decided to get our meal from this restaurant, us carers were not eating so I ordered 5 oap fish and chips, the young boy behind the counter looked at me like I was talking in a foreign language, I had to explain what oap meant, in an ignorant tone I was told they don't do this (an regular size would be far to much for them to eat) So I ordered 5 kids fish and chips, I then was told they don't do fish only fish cakes or nuggets. I explain our situation etc.. he said he couldn't help me, I asked to speak with the manager, again explained what i wanted, to be told they couldn't help me at all. So I ordered 5 fish and 2 chips for a total of £53, if my residents weren't so hungry I would have gone elsewhere. It was the complete disregard and stinking attitude that got me, our eldest is 103, he fought for his country. I understand it's a business but come on, have some discretion, not even the offer of a complimentary drink, people like this need to take a step back, what a sad world we live in.

We ordered from the takeaway section of the restaurant. It was by far the worst fish and chips we’ve had. The service was great from the front, but the way staff from the kitchen spoke to this young guy was shocking. Totally unprofessional and in front of customers. Back to the food - the chicken nuggets looked as if they had been freeze dried. The fish was tough and overcooked, or had been left sitting for hours. The chips were dry and inedible.

Visited Brighton purely for a Palm Court takeaway dinner. Arrived at Palm Court takeaway at 7.20pm by 7.50pm I was still waiting for 1 cod & chips and 1 portion of chips! Staff cooking the food were continually arguing amongst themselves and one in particular was repeatedly rude to the young person serving customers. I did state that over 30 minutes was not okay to wait for a small order. From what I could gather from the conversations taking place it seemed someone had accidentally switched off one of the fryers mid cooking?!!! This made me question the safety of the food and I was reluctant once I finally received it! We ate our food. My husband had the cod with chips & I just had chips. Within 30 minutes of eating I started to experience stomach cramps. This was bare able but I thought to myself it must be the food. We began our hour journey home and throughout my husband experienced stomach cramps that increased with severity as time passed. By the time we arrived home he experienced terrible diarrhoea and continued stomach pains into the night. What a disaster our trip for a take out Palm Court was!

We drove to Brighton from Twickenham. After a long walkabout we decided to get some lunch. We wanted to be seated at the window so we could see the sea. The couple at the table next door refused to move their pram which was blocking the entrance to the table. There was no baby in the pram at the time. We had to be elsewhere away from the sea facing tables. So in reality the waitress gave preference to an empty pram and some very entitled people. Had we not been so tired and hungry we would have gone elsewhere. Definitely won't be back.

We used the takeaway section to the left hand side as you look to the front of the restaurant. Absolutely abysmal. It cost £20 for 2 savaloy and chips. The server microwaved the chips after dishing them out and our savaloys were cold. We binned them and walked away. They also did this to the next person who ordered food too. Why are they microwaving chips!! Concerning and a waste of money. I would expect the same quality of food from the restaurant itself considering they're are quite literally attached. Do not use the takeaway section!

We had the most amazing dining experience at Palm Court last night. It was an absolute gem of an evening, and I can't stop raving about it. From the moment we walked in, it was clear that this restaurant goes above and beyond to ensure their customers have a fantastic time. First and foremost, the manager was absolutely incredible. They were attentive, friendly, and went out of their way to make sure our dining experience was perfect. Despite us arriving close to closing time, they not only welcomed us with open arms but also treated us like VIPs. Their warmth and hospitality were truly commendable. The staff were equally exceptional. Even though it was late, they were all smiles and incredibly accommodating. They made us feel special throughout the entire meal, and their dedication to ensuring our comfort was evident. The food was exquisite; every dish was a masterpiece. The chef's culinary skills shone through in each bite, and the presentation was nothing short of art. The flavours were rich and unforgettable. I can't thank the team at this restaurant enough for making our visit so memorable. This restaurant deserves the highest praise for their fantastic service, delectable food, and the way they treat their customers, even when the clock is ticking towards closing time. I will undoubtedly be returning for another extraordinary dining experience.

Really disappointing. It took three attempts to. Get a properly hot latte / flat white. Eventually the manager made it after we explained that they needed to heat the cup. The normal Prime Cod was fine - good taste, thick and meaty. The Big Fish looked great on arrival - twice as long - but it’s only a couple of ounces more, so was thin with too much batter. Avoid! The halloumi burger was also disappointing: rubbery halloumi with a bit of lettuce and tomato, no sauce/relish/mayonnaise. And the chips with all three weren’t very tasty, and only a few of them. The service was ok though and the manager was accepting and apologetic. He also didn’t charge us for the big cod or cold coffee. Final thing - one of the waiters cleaning the tables after customers left wasn’t very thorough, wiping around the condiment holder rather than lifting it up and cleaning below it.

This was one of the worst restaurant experiences we have ever had. The place was dingy and dirty. The table was sticky. We both ordered fish and chips, and it was disgusting. The fish was inedible -- mushy on the top and slimy on the bottom. The tartare sauce came in a paper cup the size of a thimble. The only thing edible was the chips. However, we sent the whole terrible mess back to the kitchen. The very young staff were polite and tried their best, but the place as a whole was appalling. If this is their best after a renovation, it's pretty sad. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

After being seated we waited for 10 minutes where we kept being ignored. In addition, the table was incredibly sticky. We gave up and went to another restaurant. Restaurant was empty and staff standing around on their smartphones. Sad…. To reply the question: We were of course sitting in the restaurant. The waittress appointed a table to us and then dissapeared.

I thought this would be a place serving up really shoddy food. That was an unfair first impression. The food was pretty good, not amazing but nothing to complain about. Cocktail was good. The service was very friendly and price was ok, maybe tad expensive. Overall not a bad spot given the lovely sunset views.

Expected to pay over the odds as it’s a tourist trap on the pier but all of our group (friends and family) couldn’t eat their meals. All tasted of not very nice oil, even if it had been nice the portions were tiny for the cost but as it was 90% of everything ended up in the bin. What a waste it shouldn’t be difficult to serve a half decent portion of chip, fish etc. so many ok to good options around the pier so avoid the Palm would be my advice.

Went twice during my stay. First time had the breakfast which was average. Cheap tasting Ingredients. Waitress was friendly but noticed a number of staff stood around laughing and joking and other customers having to go to the stations to get their attention. Second visit. Waitress had to check twice as to what cakes were on special. Still incorrect when it arrived. Once given order was completely ignored. 5 staff members hanging around at the till while tables left uncleared or cleaned. Our table was cleaned as we were seated and we had to dry it down ourselves. Male member of staff droped the cake cover on the floor. No regard for hygiene- simply just put it back to cover the cakes. 0 engagement with customers. Given it's location, it should be thriving. Average, over priced food.

We were the first people in and ordered breakfast sandwiches. After 30 mins I reminded the staff. They were very apologetic and made sure that our food came up. They also gave us a free drink and cake for the inconvenience. Not a great start but handled very well. Thanks to the staff who were great overall

Compared with some of the reviews we have seen our experience was different - Fay had a great smile and was very friendly and gave us a great service . She worked hard across the restaurant ( much harder than most of the others I could see). Food was ok but Fay made it for us . Average food can be made up by great staff attitude .

Thought we’d try this as everyone fancied “Fish n Chips”. We were seated quickly and the staff were good but.. the food… I’ve had much better at my local Chippy and a damn sight cheaper!! £190 in total, one person only had chips and the other a kids meal, the fish batter was rock hard and tiny amount of chips in a small bowl. Sorry but we won’t be returning 👎👎

Myself and my daughter ate at palm Court. Restaurant was very quiet with just us and one other guest in there. Service was good, we had mushrooms and mozzarella sticks for starters and scampi for main course. Food was lovely and generous portions. Just felt it was very expensive (I suppose everywhere is now) scampi was £15 each. Restaurant also imposes a 10% service charge which is discretionary but just felt awkward to ask for that be removed. Bill came to £53 for 2 people for dinner and 1 soft drink each. Pricey but food was really nice.

As a retired 66-year-old Irish gentleman with a penchant for good ol' fish and chips, I recently had the pleasure of visiting a delightful eatery nestled at Brighton Pier. This hidden gem, known as "Brighton's palace Pier," truly lives up to its name. From the moment I stepped inside, I was transported to a bygone era of traditional seaside dining. The cozy interior, adorned with charming seaside decor, exuded a sense of warmth and nostalgia. The friendly staff greeted me with genuine smiles, making me feel like an old friend returning to his favorite haunt. Now, let's talk about the main event—the fish and chips. My taste buds were in for a treat! The fish, enveloped in a crisp, golden batter, was a sight to behold. With each bite, the flaky white flesh melted in my mouth, perfectly complemented by the generous sprinkle of salt and vinegar. The chips, oh, the chips! They were simply divine—crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and oh-so-satisfyingly seasoned. To accompany my meal, I indulged in a cup of piping hot tea, the quintessential British beverage. It provided a comforting contrast to the crispy goodness on my plate. As I savored my meal, I couldn't help but glance out the window, capturing glimpses of the breathtaking views of the pier and the shimmering sea beyond. It was a feast for the senses, a symphony of flavors and sights that transported me to a state of pure contentment. Brighton's Finest Catch at the pier is a place where tradition and culinary excellence converge. If you're a lover of authentic fish and chips and appreciate a warm, welcoming atmosphere, this charming establishment will surely become a cherished memory, just as it has for this retired Irish gentleman.

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!!

Super friendly service. We had a lovely brunch, Welsh rarebit, eggs benedict and a jumbo breakfast and we were persuaded to try the “best chips in Brighton “ Everything was freshly prepared and tasty.
