English’s of Brighton

Wow, what a place. Understated class and friendly service without being uppity, and incredible food. Probably the best salt and chilli pepper squid I’ve ever had. Set menu excellent value and actually might contain what you were going to have anyway. Highly recommend.

Verdict: Awesome

Location: 29-31 East Street

The Pond

Nice little pub (a bit light on seating) with a fanastic Thai concession. Try Simply the Best – best described as a Thai twisted on fried potatoes. Ace, and very friendly.

Edit: Quite some time ago The Pond was totally refurbed, and got a bao bun concession. Having just tried it, it’s amazing. Just incredible all around, especially the house fries and fried bao like churros for dessert.

Verdict: Ok

Edit: Awesome

Taste Bar & Restaurant

Had some chips and a drink on the street at this waterfront location. Tasty, and right by the sea.  Not dramatically interesting though.
