The best restaurants serving British food in Regency Brighton and Hove South East

Just ate the must tasteless tomato soup and even worse Silverside sold as a sirloin steak in the bar at the Grand Hotel Brighton. I thought the sirloin steak tasted poor quality, joined at the table by two butchers and all three of us agreed it was silverside sold as Sirloin l. Unbelievable

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.

There for a few beers and stepped out into the smoking area, when I tried to get back had been told that the manager had pointed out 4 people who they didn’t want back in, and I was one of them. No explanation why, I’d literally just chatted to the other people outside for the first time and had only had 1 beer. Anyway, avoid. I suspect they don’t want customers of certain demography which was very much the impression the bouncer gave when I asked him why weren’t allowed in. Beer is overpriced here too.

came for a date night with my mrs, while waiting for our room to be sorted we were pleasantly greeted by pasha, toby and roberto. amazing drinks and service thank you guys

Had a really lovely fish and chips here. Very reasonably priced as well!

Large pub, good value for drinks, friendly staff. This is a place for a couple of quick drinks whilst out an about.

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

Nah.....Just not the same anymore, gone from one of the best pubs you could ever visit. Now no atmosphere, poor drink selection staff not caring if you are there or not, this is our 4th and very last visit since it reopened from Dr Bs to the Star and Garter.

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.

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 ? ?

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?
