A lovely spot for very classical seafood. The outside seating in the summer is excellent for people watching. The food was fresh, with simple flavours that let the quality shine. Our server Hannah struck the perfect balance of both friendly and professional. We will definitely be back!

Tucked away in The Lanes and within sight of the sea, English’s feels like the definition of Brighton on a plate. The restaurant occupies what were once fishermen’s cottages, dating back well over 400 years. Inside, crisp white linen and small roses on the tables bring a quiet elegance, while art deco artwork adds just the right amount of glamour. The menu balances tradition with a modern touch, and it shows in every dish. I had the mussels and fries alongside a few oysters. Simple, fresh, and done beautifully. What stood out even more was the service. Ashley made dining solo feel effortless, with just the right mix of attentiveness and warmth. For anyone craving seafood with character and history behind it, this spot is a gem.
