Fish & chips · Brighton
Warm, comfortable and easy to settle into with a pram, this Brighton chippy turns food around fast — several families mention plates arriving fresh and without a wait, which matters when a toddler has hit the wall. The cod comes out crisp-battered and flaky, chips chunky and fluffy inside with the little crispy bits scattered in, and the mushy peas are made in-house. Large portions are genuinely enormous, and there's a chips refill (one refill only, so don't promise a second). A big Greek salad works well alongside if someone wants something lighter, and the curry sauce gets a lot of love. High chairs, a kids' menu and buggy access are all sorted. Two large cod, a haddock, salad and drinks came in at what one family called great value. It's popular, so expect a buzz at busy times.
