English's of Brighton

I took my friend for a birthday meal and we had the set menu, which had plenty of choice. We had a great evening and service was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, especially the main course - the fish pie was delicious! Overall we both thought it was good value for money and will return.

Brilliant

The food was delicious, everyone said they would come back. The tuna cigar was the favourite starter. The bill was reasonable considering the amount of wine drunk and the number in the party.

Warm friendly service. Fabulous food. A great deal for lunchtime set menu. Thoroughly recommend.

We loved the seaside-bistro kind of atmosphere. The food was inexplicably good. Especially the potted shrimp starter. And the wine was excellent.

A friend and I had a pleasant lunch at this restaurant one Saturday. A well-seasoned lobster bisque made a good starter. The catch of the day, a brill, that followed it was perfectly cooked and expertly filleted. On the down side, the chips, though tasty, were not quite freshly-fried and there was an excess of parmesan and balsamic vinegar on the rocket salad. An accompanying Austrian wine was well-balanced, but a touch too full-bodied and sweet for the fish; however, I didn't ask for a recommendation and must bear responsibility for my choice. We didn't have puddings, but finished with coffee, also good. Service was swift, polite and unobtrusive. The price was fairly high, but I thought it reasonable for what we ate. The decor was very Brighton, but perhaps a little louche and tired; my companion, who sat facing the wall, didn't care for it. Subject to minor reservations, I'd recommend English's and gladly lunch there again.

Great service

Lovely meal from beginning to end , couldn’t fault anything

It was a real treat to eat English's. It was only the second time I had eaten here, and I think we were sat at the same table! It was a Monday night so very quiet, but the ambience was comfortable, and the staff were friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed the food - I had a wonderful main of sole, mussels and beurre blanc, and my partner devoured a plate of fish and chip. We did eat too much, but we agreed it was a night to savour, while all around us danced Toulouse-Lautrec-inspired characters!

A very pleasant Birthday meal experience. With lovely fresh seafood (the mussels were excellent!) and good attentive service and a wine list that completed the food but did not go over budget!
