  This is the go to place for fish and chips if you visit Brighton. The choice of haddock or cod. I choose cod it was silky and soft with a wonderful brown light batter. Regular portion is one large piece of fish. Large portion you get two pieces. The chips are large stick cut crispy and gold brown. Choice of take away or dine in.

  So the servers here really don't know how to speak English... explaining how a drink came with a shot of gin was incredibly difficult. The waitress couldn't really understand.
  
  A friend told me to come here for the fish and chips! Of course, I had it and it was pretty good! The chips were a little bland but the it was decent. Ordering was such a pain though. The waitress was horribly confused at moments.
  
  Though, I discovered after leaving that she forgot to charge me for one of my drinks... so thank you Harry Ramsden!
  
  Decent fish and chips!

  Absolutely dreadful I certainly wouldn't go in there again. Unclean glasses the food wasn't good I cannot see this business being around for the long term. The ambiance appalling.

  Service was terrible but food was great. When we arrived, we told the manager that we were pressed for time and in return he made us wait twenty minutes so that they could just push tables together to accommodate our size, and then said that our time constraint "wasn't his problem" and he that he couldn't be bothered about it. In the end, his attitude improved because he ended up asking us to write a review for him on TripAdvisor.
  
  The rest of the staff was comparatively better.
  The food was great and the tartare sauce was amazing. If I go back, it will be for the food, not for the service.

  It's been a long time since I've been to Harry Ramsdens so I was looking forward to going as I used to love their chips.
  
  I don't eat fish so I was interested to see what else they have on the menu. I was surprised by the variety. They have burgers, sausages, vegetarian lasagne, even salads.
  
  One of the group I was with is vegan. She asked the waitress if they had anything on the menu which is vegan and the waitress said 'chips'. Then she said 'and the vegetarian lasagne'. My friend pointed out that it has egg, milk, butter and cheese in it and the waitress just shrugged.
  
  I had a burger. I was impressed with it. Nice juicy burger which came medium-rare which I liked a lot. I didn't like the chips, which I was really disappointed about. I love chip shop chips and Harry Ramsdens claims to be famous for its fish and chips but they weren't slightly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I've had a lot better chips for much better value. I did hope for better.
  
  One star lost for the chips and the other for the customer service but thumbs up for the burger.
