THE WEST PIER TRADITIONAL FISH AND CHIPS

The West Pier Traditional Fish And Chips claims to serve up the best fish and chips in Brighton, but the reviews tell a story of deception. While some rave about the freshness of the fish, others have experienced meals that are borderline inedible. How can a place with a 5-star rating serve up such mixed results? The staff is friendly and speedy, making you wonder if they’re trying to distract you from the food quality.

With toilets that could use a good scrub and an owner who seems more interested in defending bad reviews than improving the experience, it’s a gamble to dine here. If you’re feeling adventurous, you might want to roll the dice, but if you’re after a guaranteed good meal, you might want to look elsewhere. It’s a classic case of all sizzle and no steak—or in this case, fish.
