The best restaurants in Regency Brighton and Hove South East

Huge place, the food is what you expect. Bad service

Chips were good. Popcorn chicken was like eating gravel. 20p for a ketchup packet.

Visited for a quick and cheap lunch while in the area. The place felt a bit unloved but service good and had everything I needed. The new garlic and herb sauce was excellent too.

My rating is for what it is a very nice casual fish and chip shop great service and helpful cooking delicious gluten free fish, not battered but deep fried, crunchy outside nice inside not dry. If looking for casual gf this is your place

Very friendly staff and nice show on TV to watch while eating.

We all enjoyed our food here, lovely cod and chips. Kids had the nuggets, no complaints from them! Will be returning when next in Brighton

The chicken doner tasted terrible. It was like eating rubber. I think because this kebab shop is in a good location, it thinks it can get away with serving food past it's sell by date and not fresh. I genuinely wouldn't advise anyone to purchase a meal from there.

We were on a culinary tour of restaurants and pubs in Brighton. Both chefs with 30 years experience in food and beverage. We chose this place because it’s on the beach and our hotel was just across the road. We had to experience many places so had only one dish we went to in each place. On arrival the lady behind the bar couldn’t care less if we were there or not. Not even a hello. Looking at the staff, they seem to be chosen by looks rather than their customer service skills. We ordered the whitebait to share and 2 beers. One was a mango IPA which we had never heard of. It doesn’t taste of mango that’s for sure. We then went to sit at the table near the beach which was pleasant. The whitebait arrived promptly. Stuffed into a paper pouch and soon as we tipped it on the plate it was limp and soggy. It should be crispy. The jalapeño mayo was tasteless. Not a hint of spice. We wondered if it was just mayo? Also served with a tiny piece of dried out lime with no juice. Really poor.

Ordering online from them is a SCAM. They are happy to take your money with no guarantee you'll ever get your order. My online order never arrived. I emailed repeatedly but received no response. I called the store, and they said they only deal with order issues via email. That's obviously not true, because no one is responding to my emails. I used their live chat on their website, and the only response I got was that they'll email me, which they have not done. I wish I had read the other reviews before ordering — do NOT order online from them!

Good customer service and Tasty food

this place was a really surprise. I bought cod and chips and a battered sausage. All of it was bordering on inedible (I include a picture of what I left on the plate, I was starving so I had to eat some of it, but, as you can see 80% of it is still on the plate). It is an insult to Brighton to have fish and chips like this. And an owner who seems to be (from reading his responses on here) in complete denial about the quality of it. The fish WAS NOT FRESH, it was old, leathery, watery and tasteless, the chips were dry equally tasteless, obviously not freshly cooked and the oil was either way over its useful date or drained out of the bottom of a combine harvester. The only mildly palatable thing was the sausage, which I ate to stave off the hunger, but honestly, you could used it as a riot baton. I should have read the other reviews before coming, but I honestly thought the place had to be decent with such a prime position on the Brighton seafront right next to the Grand Hotel…….If I was the hotel I would put a sign in the lobby warning people not to go here, as it will completely ruin your visit to the seaside ! Utterly gobsmacked that a place like this still exists in 2024, fish and chips is such an easy thing to get right……I almost feel this place needs applauding for managing to mess up the English national dish so thoroughly. I’m not sure what the owners name is, but I appeal to you sir: go out and try other fish and chips in the area, you seem to be in denial about your food and frequently use the argument that people ‘finish their plates’ as a reason for calling them ‘liars’, my friend, I assure you : I’m not a liar, and include a photo of what I left on my plate. I’m actually trying to help, and I think the vast majority of reviewers on here are doing that too. You’ve got a GREAT location, why ruin it by putting food on the plate like this ? ?

This place definitely needs Gordon Ramsay! The manager is in denial and needs to take on feedback and improve. Bella Italia was full, so we ended up eating at this restaurant. The lady was extremely pleasant and probably saves the business. We got the wrong drink and when we asked for the right drink, we were told we'd have to pay for it. My prawns were not cooked and my food was cold. The pizza was undercooked and when I said I did not want to pay service charge, the manager did not accept that I felt the service was not great. He took it off and was very cold. If you are visiting Brighton, I would try somewhere else so you can enjoy your stay.

The worst pizza i ever had in my life. Too much cheese and on chicken tandoori pizza there was ni chicken just green peppers.

Este lugar fue una sorpresa. Compré bacalao con papas fritas y una salchicha rebozada. Todo rozaba lo no comestible (incluyo una foto de lo que dejé en el plato, me moría de hambre así que tuve que comer algo, pero, como podéis ver el 80 % sigue en el plato). Es un insulto para Brighton tener pescado con papas fritas como este. Y un propietario que parece estar (por leer sus respuestas aquí) en completa negación sobre la calidad de la misma. El pescado NO ESTABA FRESCO, era viejo, cuero, acuoso e insípido, las papas fritas estaban secas igualmente insípidas, obviamente no estaban recién cocinadas y el aceite estaba en su fecha útil o escurrido del fondo de una cosechadora. Lo único suavemente sabroso era la salchicha, que comí para evitar el hambre, pero honestamente, se podía utilizar como una porra antidisturbios. Debí haber leído las otras críticas antes de venir, pero honestamente pensé que el lugar tenía que ser decente con una posición tan privilegiada en el paseo marítimo de Brighton justo al lado del Grand Hotel... Si yo fuera el hotel pondría un cartel en el vestíbulo advirtiendo a la gente que no vaya aquí, ya que arruinará completamente su visita a la costa! Totalmente boquiabierto de que un lugar como este siga existiendo en 2024 , el fish & chips es algo tan fácil de hacer... ...casi siento que este lugar necesita aplaudir por lograr estropear tan a fondo el plato nacional inglés. No estoy seguro de cuál es el nombre de los propietarios, pero le pido señor: salga a probar otros fish and chips de la zona, parece que está negando su comida y utiliza frecuentemente el argumento de que la gente «termina sus platos» como razón para llamarlos «mentirosos», amigo mío, le aseguro : No soy mentirosa, e incluyo una foto de lo que dejé en mi plato. En realidad estoy tratando de ayudar, y creo que la gran mayoría de los revisores aquí también lo están haciendo. Tienes una ubicación GENIAL, ¿por qué arruinarla poniendo comida en el plato de esta manera?
