Best fish and chips I had in 45 years of trying. Had both haddock and rock, both fried perfectly. Batter thin and crispy and left barely a trace of oil on the plate. Chips similarly perfect. Honestly better than Geales at Notting Hill Gate.

Good freshly cooked fish but the chips were poor in comparison. It was near to closing on a Sunday lunchtime so they had probably been kept warm for some time Service: Takeaway Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £1–10 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 3

We tried to get away from the Brighton madness, so we travelled to Seaford to enjoy the less busy beach. We tried this place and we now have two reasons to come back and visit Seaford! Fresh food, friendly service and overall great experience.
