This is a large restaurant at the end of Brighton Pier; they have some outside tables (but beware of seagulls!) and inside the window tables have great sea views. They specialise in fish and chips, though the menu has a wider array of pub-grub style options (pies, lasagne, sausages) and veggie options too. They're fully licensed. They're at the pricier end for this type of food - slightly more than Harry Ramsden's - but you're paying for the location. We booked ahead for a group of 10. It's always a worry being responsible for a big group but I need not have worried: they had our booking, seated us immediately and took our orders within 10 minutes. Service was speedy though one order came late. But it was sorted straight away without any quibbles. The waiters were incredibly charming throughout. The food itself: those with fish did extremely well - generous portions, freshly cooked: one of our party had the largest portion of plaice I've ever seen. Pies also went down very well. The portions of chips (classic, thick, oddly-shaped chip-shop style) could have been a little more generous for the price, and two veggie sausages were disappointing. Drinks are, however, keenly priced (a large fruit juice is a pint...). But if the location isn't important, you may find it a bit pricey. Overall we were happy with our experience and would go there again, especially for a group event. read more

On a wonderful sunny day Brighton at it's finest.. This fish and chip place restaurant is a slightly up market place to grab a Pimms and meal it's great for the view as it is directly in the pier.. Perfect for groups and families. The average price to sit in and eat is £9 But again it's to enjoy the meal and place Great selection of seafood, fish, other meals read more

Ok if your are hungry and fancy fish and chips, and let's be honest who doesn't when you're on the coast (Brighton) then the place I recommend might not have been on your list and what's more it's a takeaway so another plus, I mean who wants to eat indoors when the weather is good. If the weather is bad don't worry they do have a restaurant also at the location but also you can sit along the pier under cover. We went for the cod and chips meal and I have to say I wasn't expecting that much but they def piled on the food and the cod was so large - but to make you laugh couldn't close the lid on the box. Oh yes this is along the pier which is good so go for a look and order some food. read more

Terrible service. Half empty yet full of servers and managers around. 20 minutes to get a Diet Coke, and an hour wait for a salad with some chicken. read more

Set at the end of Brighton Pier, this restaurants speciality is Fish and Chips. We chose to dine in as it was particularly windy outside. Fish and Chips cost about £10 here, that being said this is a sit down restaurant, so I wouldn't have been too bothered had the food actually been good. While the fish was ok, the chips were average at best, service was also slow, tables sticky. The interior and sea view are a good though. A bit of a tourist trap, but that's the Pier in general. read more

Best 'big fish' and chips I've ever had: superbly oily side of cod made crispy with what could almost be tempura batter. Never thought it'd happen here in Brighton. Also, the white bait starter was amazeballs, went especially well with the onion that was part of the salad. Pimms jug was shy of £12 and not stingy on the fruit and ice. Portions are generous and service prompt. read more

Palm Court is the British food restaurant on Brighton Pier. If you're feeling peckish on your walk on the Pier, and the kiddies are begging to get fed, and you walk by this restaurant and think to yourself, "well here's an option." Think again. I grew up in Southern California, land of amusement parks. The restaurants at amusement parks are notoriously bad, and high priced, and this place fits the bill. No surprise given its proximity to the fun fair at the end of the pier. But a normal amusement park charges an entry fee. They have an excuse for poor food, given their clientele are locked in the gates. Here there is no such restriction. Access to the Pier is as you like. So the fact that they think they can get away with such poor food, poor service and outlandish prices is even more compelling a reason to urge you to spend your hard earned money elsewhere. Service was slow and poor, requests for food forgotten. Really, the only thing earning a second star is it was a beautiful day, we sat outside, and the view is delightful, looking east across the southern English coast. But you can buy an ice cream cone for a quid at the stand next door, and get the same view. Do yourself a favor. Stop, turn north, walk off the Pier and go to the first any other restaurant once you've reached dry land. Just about anything is bound to please your palate more than this over-greasy establishment. It will probably cost less, and taste better, and your kids will need one less trip to the psychiatrists couch when they grow up and don't resent you for making them eat rubberized fish sticks. read more

Honestly the best fish and chips I've ever had in the U.K.! My very first time in Brighton and it honestly was the best thing to eat! It tastes so fresh and it wasn't soggy like others I've had! Plus they give you loads of chips! Loved it and can't wait to be back! read more

Went there to have a meal after peak time on Saturday (around 4pm). Me and a friend of mine ordered the roasted chicken with herbs. Our meals arrived in about 45 minutes, which was ridiculous considering how many tables they had - around 6. But thats not where it all ended. 1. His portion of chicken was double the size of mine. I asked to speak with the manager and check if that is normal. A rude polish woman came by and said the following 'yeah yeah normal'. I insisted they exchange my chicken with a new one, but she warned me it would take 15 mins to cook. I was fine with that. Little did I know, it would take around 45. 2. My friend's chicken was pink on the inside, with blood spots. We asked to speak with a manager again. They took the chicken back and I suppose started cooking him another portion. That is when the big wait began. 45 mins later, I had a plate of chicken in front me. By time I was not even hungry and his meal was nowhere to be seen. There was no point to stay there longer, I had already wasted my afternoon. Needless to say no compensation was offered ! The place was filthy and not properly heated, staff was rude, and for the food - I could not even try it. However, they still charge top London prices! Someone needs to wake up or they will not be around for long. People, save your time, money and nerves and go somewhere else. read more

The first time I try fish and chips dish in this restaurant really is so delicious dish , the lazania , the burger , and the salad , and the services is so friendly and collaborator nice experience in the nice place , thx . read more

I'm lucky I didn't have the same experience as the other yelper who wrote this review! I had the fish and chips. I don't like mushy peas sorry =/... Liking marmite, black pudding and various English food, this was the only unappealing thing about my meal. Otherwise service was pretty decent (I think it was because it was a real British person that took our order and not an angry eastern European guy for once LOL). I actually enjoyed the fish n' chips here in Brighton more than I did in London actually. The food wasn't the best, but I guess my experience with the staff and everything else really helped. I enjoyed the view for being a bit too cloudy, but it's England for you LOL... I would return here again with the same group of friends and hopefully the same server. =) LOL. read more

I still have nightmares about this tourist trap, and the worst Fish and Chips I've ever had. If you ever visit Brighton Pier, walk back into town and find somewhere else to go. Hungry, we stopped into the big restaurant we saw on Brighton Pier. It looks little hokey and old fashioned inside, but that matches the atmosphere of the area. The view is nice, if you get a window seat, but the inside is sketchy and dirty looking. Unfortunately, the Fish and Chips were soggy and oily, the fries were bland, and the peas tasted like cardboard. Neither of us had even half of our meals, as we would have vomited if we ate any more. A shame, really, since every other meal we had during our trip to England was exceptional. read more

I was rather disappointed with this fish and chips restaurant, I had intended to go the day before my birthday but they were closed at 2:30pm (We asked around and people said places close at any point if they don't get lots of customers!) So I tried again on my 21st. I should have gone to Wetherspoons instead! They seated everyone (Not in the same party!) along the same row of windows to the left of the building, yet the rest of the tables were deserted. So we could not have private conversations, or eat in peace. The waitress seemed new at her job, she was very reserved and didn't seem to understand us very well when taking our order. She was also pacing up and down the row of customers like an army general. We weren't able to settle and enjoy our meal! My fiancé liked the fish, but I only ate a few of my chips. They were a bit too undercooked and hard on the inside. None of the staff said happy birthday, even though I was geared up with the hat, sash and balloon. We were lucky to be seated next to a really pleasant Australian couple that bothered to give me their wishes! read more

4- May-2018, Start of the May Bank holiday, Beautiful weather. Our planed trip to "Sea Life" in Brighton was "on go". The centre is a very interesting venue, well worth the effort to reach and visit. Entry £16 per person no concessions for away peas et cetera makes it rather expensive that's very enjoyable all the same. A visit to Brighton has to include a fish and chip meal on the pier. As the Palmcourt restaurant had just reopened after refurbishment, we decided to splash out and enjoy our supper. The restaurant was very quiet two or three people inside, so we waited as requested by the desk at the entrance. And we waited, and we waited. No one appeared so we made our way to a table near the centre of the restaurant. Again we waited 5/10 minutes. There were several staff members round a centre bar area, so I went and asked one for a menu. a charming girl promptly bought a menu over to our table. We thanked her and order some drinks while we chose our meals. Again we waited and we waited for our drinks to arrive, eventually another 10 minutes later our drinks arrived. By now we had decided on what dishes we intended to have for our suppers.. No sign of the waitress! -- Seeing the young waitress at the other side of the restaurant, gave a little wave and she came over, very pleasant and full of smiles. We gave our order. My wife gave her order Cod & chips (very traditional) Palm Court Restaurant BOAST they have the best chips in Brighton. I ordered Plaice with creamed mash potato, very fortuitous as it turned out. Yes, we waited 20 minutes okay I suppose. Our meals arrived My Plaice & mashed potatoes, looked tasted very nice. My wife's Cod arrived with what I suppose were intended to be chips. A pile of what appeared to be some rather dried up and as it happened tasteless pieces of potato complete with all the black eyes and pieces of peal still on some of them. Why wife call the waitress complained about the chips. The waitress as always full of smiles said she would replace them which she did after a time. Improving, only five minutes this time. The replacement chips appeared piled high on another plate just the same as the first only twice as many. (Are you still with me ) this saga goes on and on. My wife complained and so did I.The manager arrived (I presume he was the Manager) My wife suggested a small white wine in place of the chips as recompense for all the hassle. "Can't do that said the manager but I won't charge you for the chips." "To bloody well you won't" we replied. We finished our meal and asked for our Bill MINUS the chips. Yes we waited and waited. By now I had got into the routine. I got up and went and looked for someone to pay, eventually going to the main bar and paid (No I did not give a tip.) our occasional waitress gave us a big smile and a cheery wave as we left. That was something I suppose. I would give a tip to all those who have stayed with me this far. Don't go to the Palm Court restaurant on Brighton Pier Unles you have a lot of time to spare, and aren't to fussy about your chips. Our waitress when she appeared was always very pleasant lovely smile and hazel eyes. Arh. !. read more

Enjoyed a sit down fish and chips dinner here on Tuesday, you're paying £11.00 for standard fish/chips which we probs wouldn't had bothered with except it was stupidly windy and we had a guest, aside from prices which is pretty much expected as a sit down restaurante on the pier, the food was good, big portion, cooked well, bagged a window seat, everything seemed pretty clean and staff were friendly, a nice treat if you can afford it. read more

Save your money and eat the takeaway outside. Service is non-existent inside. They have the staff, they just simply don't like waiting on people. They literally walk around cleaning empty tables while avoiding customers. Still waiting for the rest of our order after 25 minutes and three are only 4 tables of people. Can't imagine a full restaurant. Is put zero stars if it were possible. Same food outside without the shite service. read more

i think it is expensive for the view only. you can have the same quality of fish and chips from any shop on kings road but cheaper. even the view is not that special, but i must admit it is a must visit as an experience at least once. while you have the arcade next door for a little entertaiment. they do offer the same menu as a take out and you can eat it standing in the entrance area, which can be a little inconvenient. i honestly think it is inhuman of them, for a couple of pounds!! .. the staff is not professional nor friendly it felt like my waiter was an expelled solider !! i was terrified to ask for extra sauce. i might bring my parents for the experience but I'm pretty sure they'll reaction will be "this place doesn't worth the money" just saying! tip " the big fish on the menu is just a normal fish size but puffy with air like a balloon" just order the normal size mate, cheaper. as you can tell by now, they are money oriented!! read more
