Reviews of English's of Brighton

We had a really lovely evening at English's celebrating a special birthday. The service was very attentive, without being over-bearing. Very friendly atmosphere. The food was amazing, the best dover sole I have ever eaten! Little touches like a glass of celebratory fizz on arrival and 'Happy Birthday' on the pudding plate all made a very positive difference to the overall experience. Thank you!

Excellent service Good choice of fish on menu, unfortunately no fish of the day or fish stew available but plenty to choose from. Reasonable prices for very good food.

Easy to book online and, oysters Kilpatrick are out of this world, great wine and the staff made us very welcome. The lobster was stunning.

A really warm welcome and taken straight to our table, menus provided really quickly along with chilled water. Left to review the menus with no pressure, all questions around the menu answered in a clear and polite manner. Wine was superb and the fish of the day was the best I've had. Cannot recommend this venue highly enough

Over the years I've often dined at English's, which is a traditional fish restaurant in the Lanes. While my fresh oysters and Dover Sole were good, my wife selected the fixed price lunch menu. Her main dish (seabass) a supposed specialty was lukewarm and over-cooked. On mentioning this to a waiter his comment was "Sorry about that". We will not return

Delicious fresh fish very well cooked. Friendly staff who gave us a glass of bubbly as a birthday treat. Rather old fashioned decor and atmosphere but that suites people like us who cannot cope with the noisy modern gastro restaurants!

We had the festive set menu. Food was good, good choice on the menu and staff were helpful and attentive. We will definitely be back!

Thoroughly reliable and excellent value; as usual and as expected. Competent kitchen. Excellent front of house staff

Lovely ambience with friendly efficient service and wonderful food.

Delicious - roasted sharing platter was fabulously fresh.
