Harry Ramsdens reviews

We were visiting Brighton on the weekend and since it was crowded on the pier plus cute seagulls trying to snatch our food 🤣 we decided to go to a restaurant and so we tried Harry’s ! It was a really good experience! Loved the fish and …

Enjoyable Monday dinner 🍽
‘You Can’t Leave England Without Eating Fish & Chips’🐟🍟😂 It is an icon! I highly recommend this restaurant (good food, staffs, environment, price) They are the …

Alex and Karina were very kind and professional. Food was amazing and tasted really good. We ate cod and chips with mushy peas, tartar sauce, bread & butter followed by one scoop each of all 3 ice cream flavors. All flavors are good but strawberry is the best . More

Food was absolutely fantastic and fresh. Classic cod and haddock are both to recommend! …

Thoroughly enjoyed my Haddock and chips there a week or so back. No nonsense seaside fare. No ‘bells and whistles” just good portions and well put together. Washed down with a nice berry cider. More

Wanted fish and chips while visiting Brighton, and this was recommended by most of my friends. First time I couldn’t get a table, so second day we went after lunch hours, and we got the basic stuff, plus some bread and butter -which came …

Went for dinner here last night. The restaurant was very quiet, a sign as you came in said wait here to be seated, we waited for 5 minutes but nobody came. I could hear staff chatting in the kitchen so called for them and they said just sit …

We had to get takeaway as the restaurant was full. Not a problem! We thought it would be quicker anyway, absolutely not! We were the only people waiting however it took about 15 minutes for someone to take our order and another 30 minutes …

Ordered Hot chocolate, came cold. Returned and requested for a new one. Then got it served as if it went through a washing machine. …

Family friendly, not too busy for a weekend. Staff friendly and attentive. Food portions are somewhat smaller than I remembered but still tasty. Senior deal is good value for those eligible. …

Staff were lovely and friendly. Quick to order and get meal. We used the takeaway. I felt the chips were quite soggy. Child’s portions are sufficient.

Easy going place for a sit down fish and chips meal!

I got cod and chips, the cod was so soft and flakey….very delicious. I …

Waited 45 minutes for food and 25 minutes for drinks to turn up. Chips were fantastic fish was good. The restaurant wasn’t busy, so expect longer waits when it is. The young lady who served us wasn’t happy! A smile goes a long way. I wonder what Harry would have said if he were alive

Got a chip shop style “afternoon tea” as a gift… Great idea. Friendly and accommodating staff. Nice food. Location right opposite Brighton pier. More

I wanted to provide a BIG positive feedback to this hotel staffs.

I went to this hotel by 5.25 pm and ordered few items for my family on the bank …

Small things are effected!
Small things are matter! …

Food was very very slow because they where short staffed. Paying for your meal before you have had it, I fully understand why once we waited over a hour for 5 meals. Didn’t get what we ordered then was told they didn’t have them so your …

Brilliant Afternoon Tea. Staff were super attentive, food was excellent. Highly recommended More

This restaurant, interior is gorgeous and breathtaking.Moreover, floor is very clean. You can listen to music everywhere. Clerks are too much kind and gregarious. Especially, Karina(employee) is sociable and friendly. Fish and Chips is more crispy compared to other stores, furthermore, you can enjoy delicious sauce.

Is a good place to eat a delicious meal while you enjoy the views of the Pier. The waiters are so very kind. More

Overall I had a bad experience with this place. I was in Brighton for a day trip and wanted to grab a quick takeout for lunch. I ended up waiting approximately 30min, and I was the only client waiting for takeout food. I don’t see the point …

Not the best, not the worst. You pay for what you get with this chain fish and chippie! Potatoes and oil are quite hard to stuff up but they definitely tasted like old oil, unsure how often the oil gets changed here. Can’t comment on the …

I visit Blackpool for weekend and I wanted to eat the famous fish and chips. The place has a great location. The food is tasty. There are no more options drinks(%) on the menu. But it’s OK 👍Friendly, smiling service, Thank you Kasia. …

Just had afternoon tea here. This was a bit different to a traditional one. Had glass of prosecco, mains arrived on a tiered stand, chips, onion rings, fish cakes, battered gherkin, fish in a mini brioche bun, fish fingers. 4 …

Well, Harry’s was our parents favourite, so after we scattered Mum’s ashes at Blackrock we all trooped into Harry’s. It would seem that the over 60s have been put on a diet! The coffee that went with it was old stewed and nearly cold. Most …

Cheapy Chicken is amazing. Incredible to find a restaurant that is absolutely empty on a crowded high street! Their amazing economy prices totally made me ignore the lack of colour in the batter and the weird smell emanating from beneath …

The worst fish and chips we have ever had! Small portions, overpriced greasy and horrible. Had to come back home to London for some proper fish and chips, larger portions fresh and tastier, sorry Harry Ramsden’s your fish and chips just doesn’t cut the mustard! More

At the behest of the restaurant, here is some more detail. It was a bank holiday Monday at around 3pm and only one waitress was serving customers and a cashier was doing his best to assist. The staffing was clearly not adequate enough to …

Food was really good although curry sauce had an interesting texture. Fish was really good. Only one person serving and taking orders but he was efficient and friendly. More

If you are ever in Brighton I would suggest to avoid this place. We came in just for a quick drink. The girl at the front sat us down, being aware that we just wanted a drink. Once I got to the bar I was told that their policy around …

Much better than expected. Haddock unavailable. Reasonable wait for food but when it arrived it was freshly cooked and hot. Prices were also reasonable. More

Had Fish and Chips here on a Wednesday evening in May, an hour before closure. Very quiet at that time so not much of an atmosphere as such. Karina and Edith were very attentive and efficient. More

Overall food was good and staff were nice enough.
Just wish I knew I would be waiting for an hour when I sat down and was a bit more communication just kept getting told to scan the QR code.
Is in a brilliant location near the pier and was clean and tidy. More

I had never been to a Harry Ramsden’s before and I left very disappointed. The chips were lovely The cod was supposed to have been large but looked rather small and flat not much fish batter was on the thin side and rather greasy. More

Thoroughly disappointed! Table still sticky even after someone had wiped it. Ordered 2 pensioner fish and chips, I have seen a bigger piece of fish on a kids meal. It says all food cooked to order, sent the first lot back because the chips …

Whenever we have visited the restaurant before we have had a lovely meal. Unfortunately this time the chips were tasteless and the fish had far too much batter. Also the starters were served at the same time as the main meal. Which meant the main meal was not as hot as it should have been by the time we got round to eating it. More

Delicious fish and chips. Sadly they were out of prawns so couldn’t get the prawn cocktail. Very polite and friendly staff. 100% recommended if in the mood for a proper fish and chips. More

Terrible service and overpriced food. You’re better off getting better food and service at the sea front.
Such a disappointment! We spent around £100 and the service and food was no …

Great example of a ture British fish & chips restaurant. Entered just before lunch time crowd.. Met with a warm welcome and a cosy atmosphere. Clean and tidy with a good choice of lunch options. Thank you all as its been a lovely experience.

Myself and my wife and a friend had fish and chips in the Brighton branch. I need to point out this is fish and chips. Not complicated À la carte, plain old fish and chips. It took 35 minutes to get our food for some unknown reason, was …

My first time was when Adam Reggio had a gig there. Beautiful space to spend time to rest or to have fun. Friendly and professional staff, very clean. I will be back definitely More

Great dinner (fish and chips) great service and attention by Magda More

I’ve been going to Harry Ramsdens in Brighton for many years but never again. It’s not just gone do hill it’s fallen off the edge. Cheaply furnished and no atmosphere. Ordered two cod and chips – £32! Chips were passable but fish (what there was of it) was covered in hard, thick batter. Rotten end to a nice day. More

Karina worked hard to give us a good experience. The chips were very good!
The restaurant could do with some updating and nicer lighting. More

Awful. Arrived and got cold welcome and instructed to order takeaway food from machine on the wall. Proceeded to order for family of 4… No acknowledgement or eye contact from staff – left to wait ages and still nothing. After 30 …

Lovely surroundings and polite, helpful staff. The food was great. My only criticism would be that the roast potatoes tasted like frozen ones. Would definitely go back though.

Cold “fresh” Fish for £15. Promised our sides were coming never came. Lots of good places to go in Brighton if you’re visiting for food – this is definitely not one of them. More

Fish was very small even though I bought a large. All batter and no fish. The chips were cold and just offcuts. There were no draught drinks. I complained to the waitress who wasn’t bothered. More

Social distancing measures were ok, staff wore face mask BUT!
There was no paper towel in the toilet and the hand drier didn’t work! …

Long long wait at till just to order then card readers didn’t work
Tables were sticky, I cleaned it myself cutlery had dried food on
Never again use to enjoy a Harry Ramsden. Not any more More

Ordered take out. The app said pick a time. We did. Arrived to pick it up at said time to find the order not even started. Then they missed off the Mushy peas lol! Fish was horrid. Soggy batter. Lads behind counter were more interest in the two drink lasses. More

Food quality is poor. Fish was soaking and tasteless. Chips advertising as double cooked chips however the chips was stale, dry and with dark green spots on them.Considering prices, quality and portion size this is not value for money. Not reccomended.

First time back at Harry Ramsden in about 7 years, and very disappointing.

Upon arrival we were a bit taken a back at how grubby the place was – everything …

Food was very nice and served just ten minutes after ordering. However both draught lagers were unavailable as well as one of the bottled lagers, meaning we had to buy yet another bottled lager at almost double the price of the draught which was very disappointing. More

Great service. Social distancing and clearly signs of cleaning tables after customers have visited. Had a great meal. Freshly cooked and crispy fish and chips

Awful experience, told they were short staffed so would be a long wait. Adult fish and chips looked like kids dinner, overpriced and such a different experience for what has always been a great meal out

Food was good,
The only thing that was annoying… The waiter came every 5 minutes to ask if everything was OK. …

Drove for an hour to come to the restaurent, had table booked online at 4pm. They tell me they are closed for an hour due to staff shortages, yet people were still inside eating and people coming and going. What a joke! Waste of time and my petrol!

The food was okay, nothing special but expected more based on the prices, few flies around the table making it a bit uncomfortable to eat, staff was great tho, very good customer service 👍 …

Very good Sevice food is nice I had cod bites which is lovely chips is okay and halloumi bites was very very nice just slightly salty need to be less salt More

Large cod which was just shy of £10 was smaller than a regular cod any other fish and chip shop I’ve been to provides. Not the best fish and chips either given the prices and portion sizes I expected better tasting food but was unfortunately disappointed. More

Disappointing. Whilst the staff we pleasant, the QR ordering service requires you to sign up via email🤦‍♂️- why??
fish and the gravy were good but the veggie pie was not worth it. …

I visited Harry Ramsdens whilst on a day trip to Brighton the restaurant was busy I believe I was served by a lovely lady called Karina this lady deffo need a promotion or even just a pay rise thanks guys I will be back in the future highly recommended. More

Was very disappointed Harry Ramsden has definitely gone down. Food was disgusting. Such a shame use to look forward to eating there. More

We had the fish and chip afternoon tea bought from Buyagift. Food was nice, service good, although as it got busier service got a lot slower. More

Had Club 60 deal – great value. The fish was delicious and very good service too. More

It’s perfect ! With my friend we take 1 large fish & chips for 2. It’s very cool and good. Personnel are very very kind ! More

Ordered with code provided on table , delicious starters , main , desserts ,soft and hot beverages. Great attention and waiting times c: Will be coming back .

I took fish and chips. Knowing that I don’t like fish and that I ate everything, you can understand that this place is great. The staff is very friendly and you get your food very fast. The prices are affordable, I paid 13 pounds for the classic fish and chips and a coke. Definitively a place to visit!

I visited the take away section …. The fish and chips were very good … the fish was fresh and tasty … the chips were ok …. the portion size is very good …. they do various meal deal options too and some options in chicken also …

Food was lovely but sadly service was very slow on both occasions that we visited. Staff were in the kitchen, and we could hear lots of screaming and shouting . More

Karina and Marco you’re amazing. Great service and great food. Will come back again More

I miss fish and chips so much living in Ireland . The batter was light and crispy fresh ,the fish white and flaky. Didn’t get on so well with the app ordering at the table but well worth the stress. Also with a wheelchair lady with us easy accessible restaurant a great day . Thank you

Had lunch with my wife & daughter service was reasonable wife & daughter had haddock they both said waz good I had place was very good extraz had battered sausage very good all in all an enjoyable lunch but a little pricey three fish & chips two battered sausage & two pure oj £63 make your own mind up. More

It was only ok for me. Overall experience is actually good: respectable food (taste, texture, presentation and portion), attentive service and clean everything (table, chair, floor and toilet). And location is practically on the pier. …

The server was super friendly throughout & kept checking that all was good, which it was.
The chips got cold quickly, but it wasn’t the warmest place to be & i kept my …

Absolute beautiful food!! Not a massive fan of fish and chips because of the chips you get but these were lovely!! Staff really friendly!!! Fernando the assistant manager was so helpful! They had sold out of feed we had brought so he …

We were in Brighton for a few hours on a uni open day and popped into the restaurant for some lunch. The food was excellent, we had the sharer platter and a portion of chips. There was plenty for 2 of us, with some left over which we took away and passed on. The service was great. Would definitely recommend More

Disappointing meal – we had the over 60’s special, and the portion sizes were good but the quality of the food wasn’t. The chips were hard and the batter was only just cooked (not crispy). I had looked forward to eating a nice meal, based on my last meal at Harry Ramsdens, but this was not great. More

The best chips in town!
A loooong wait for anything to happen – talk to somebody, be seated, get a drink, 45mins+ after getting a table to get any food. …
