Making two trips to your table from the take out counter? You can't get back inside without pushing through the line to order or sliding uncomfortably behind a pole to squeeze your way in. The fish and chips were really good. Two small and one large supper fed the four of us. The fries could be crisper, but it seems like all the U.K. fish and chips places are like this. Maybe the hot fish steams them a bit. We ate our fish and chips on the pier while watching a lovely sun set at 9:30 p.m. over Newhaven.

The pork belly in cherry coke glaze was to die for, crispy, sticky and fatty in all the right ways! Greens were a good mix of crunchy and tasty veg and the gratin was creamy and yummy.

For those familiar with original place, you'll know the food is top notch quality and yummy! They've also opened up an adjoining bar called The Bangkok bar which serves Thai street food. V handy if you're down that end of town for drinks and fancy a tasty small bite alternative. Sometimes Thai food just hits the boozing spot like nothing else!! I've not tried the cocktails but I'm assured by a friend they're worth a trip. I tried the main restaurant on Saturday night as part of a big group celebrating a friends birthday. They were more than happy to accommodate large groups, balloons and birthday cake. Nothing was an issue at all. Wine wasn't overpriced. Instead of my normal go-to Thai options I mixed it up a bit with a starter of Marinated quail and a main of Osso Bucco Massaman. The quail was delish! Crispy, salty, tasty. I would have sucked the bones dry if I wasn't trying to be a lady in front of the group! Ha ha. A really nice alternative to chicken. I'm not sure i was entirely sold on the main though which is probably my aversion to hunks of meat and bone, not a reflection of the quality of the dish. The meat was slow cooked and tender, but I was put off a bit with the sliced bit of bone marrow in the centre. I guess I'm not an Osso Bucco kinda gal really. Its definitely in a "man food" category. The sauce was amaaaaazing though! I had a few spoons waved my way for a taste. This place is well worth a visit!!!

Heritage tomato salad was delicious and very fresh. Surf & turf was good - I loved the lobster but the steak was just ok for me since it was room temp and a little too thick for my liking. Charcoal chicken Ana Mari was impressive - chicken usually isn't my go-to order at restaurants but this was cooked beautifully with crispy skin on the outside and juicy tender meat on the inside. Loved the sides of creamed spinach and mac & cheese! For dessert, we shared the strawberry tart and sticky toffee pudding. Both were delicious.

Our server explained how to the Sunday roast ordering worked. We watched the kitchen work, while we waited for our meals. Our Sunday roast meals came with medium rare beef roast, crispy on the outside and creamy soft inside potatoes, carrots, cabbage, a head of roasted garlic, a very large deeply browned Yorkshire pudding, and the most delicious gravy in a small pot. Every drop of that gravy was eaten. I think that the Yorkshire pudding exists to be a vehicle for the gravy. I really did not need any dessert after all that food. But we wanted to share an ice cream. We asked what was clotted cream ice cream. The server explained that the ice cream is made with clotted cream, which has a fat content of 60% and there's no other flavoring. It is not a common ice cream flavor. So that's what we had. The tiny beads of fat in the ice cream was very interesting. It had a sweet cream flavor. The ambiance was upscale with a lot of wood on the walls and furnishings. But at least on Sundays, we saw a lot of families and friend gatherings and did not seem exclusive.

Her service was slow and she didn't do a great job explaining the portion sizes. We ended up chatting with the table beside us to understand the hot seafood tower. We shared the raw oysters with wasabi and apple granita. These were amazing! The granita leaned more apple then wasabi and made for a very refreshing bite. We also got the hot seafood tower to share for two. There were two langoustines, one half lobster, one scallop, two grilled oysters and two razor clams per person but the bulk of the meal is mussels. It came with a small side of chips and salad. The food was good but we were racing to eat it quickly before it got cold. Finally, we ordered the Scottish cheese plate to share.

It was still put together quite well heavy gracious, not a thing for me The dessert we had was Panna cotta with some frozen cranberry squares and dollop of boysenberry?

There are four other preparations, Shallot, Roasted pepper, Moroccan, Blue Cheese. They all are prepared beautifully. We prefer to taste the mussels. We shared half a pot, which was enough for three people. It could be a main for one. They were deliciously plump, juicy and not a single grain of sand in the pot! The grilled scallops and black pudding starter was delicious. It was a small portion. They sat on swirls of yellow pepper sauce and were fabulous. The yellow pepper sauce added brightness and a clean freshness. It had the right amount of tangy. The black pudding had a hint of something spicy, too. It was divine! One criticism is there were tiny flies in the bread basket. They showed up halfway through our meal. I noticed two in the bread basket so we were done with the otherwise yummy bread. They were small enough that I would not have been able to see any on other tables but these were off-putting . They liked our mussel pot, too plus the Diet Coke bottle. Our Server was terrific.

Yelp helped us find this lovely restaurant. We were particularly hungry that night after a long flight (read "we ate like piggies"). We ordered the grilled oysters topped with cheese and bacon. While very nice, it's not in the same flavor profile as you would think of a chargrilled oyster from Louisiana. Both tasty in their own right but in very different ways. We couldn't pass up trying the mussels. I had been to Scotland 2x before, the UK overall a few more times than that. In all those trips, never knew mussels were a thing here. We had the mussels with shallot sauce and loved every bit of it (including using the bread and sopping up the liquor). Lastly my wife couldn't say no to a shellfish pasta, so we shared a plate of that too. Bright and bold, pasta kept a nice mouth feel, wife was happy as a...wait for it...clam. During the course of dinner, we noticed an older (not by much) come in and dine alone. She seemed so overjoyed to be there, ordered her food with a smile from ear to ear, the moment just spoke to us. We asked our server, who we found out later was the owner (nice!) to let us pay for the lovely lady's diner. We thought it was something nice we just wanted to do. Well, the owner and her husband came by and chatted a bit with us, and ended up giving us a toffee pudding on the house for the gesture. That was very kind of them, and we will remember our dining experience here for a long time thanks to the sweet owners. Thank you!

Sunday Roast: All the standards, but fancy. The really differentiator was the beef, which seem aged and very high quality. Great tender texture and nice gravy to go with it. Though a wee bit small portion of meat. The veggies were cooked very nicely with a lot of freshness and textures, not mushy like some pubs serve. The only weird thing is that the yorkshire pudding seemed to be deep fried. Added an overly crispy texture which as kinda weird; I prefer traditionally baked. Toffee Apple Pudding: More like a bread pudding than a sticky pudding. Filled with great flavor and a few nice baked apples bit on top. Great toffee sauce and ice cream to round it out. Blackberry & Lime Soda: So much better than those highly sugared sodas you get at the store. Definitely tasted the fresh fruit and artisanal methods.
