I was very confused with my first bite of the deep fried cod fillet and chips. I thought people said this place was the best for fish and chips in Brighton. Really? I couldn't imagine how much the restaurant economised on the cooking oil. The fish batter tasted nothing and was overwhelmed with the smell of very old oil. The batter also came out in an odd color that was as brown as KFC fried chicken. The fish was little bit dry and turned a bit yellow instead of snow white. Not much flavour came out the chips either despite lots of salt and vinegar.Nevertheless, the waitress was nice with a big smile during services She told me the management was changed 6 years. That kind of made sense to me as old reputation seems to count much more.I agree with some previous negative reviews. I won't be back.

Now, we like fish, and we like chips. And what a treat Bardsley's fish and chips were.Friendly, familiar service, generous large serve. We felt taken care of, like we couldn't possibly be in London. Maybe we should move to Brighton...Thanks team.

Really enjoyed our fish and chips with a fresh good portion of fish and proper chips. We had two glasses of wine shared s starter and even so I thought it was reasonable pricing. It may not have a sea view like the Regency but it was worth the effort to walk up to it. Can recommend the food and did notice that a lot of the people who seemed to be regulars had a large portion of fish and chips and split it between them rather than two separate medium sized portions. Probably saved on the cost?

My friend and I had booked a table. Always enjoyed fish and chips from here. So was nice to sit in for a change. We went quite early and it soon got busy. We had a good time. Was nice.

Sorry, I can only call it as I found it. Lunchtime takeaway Cod & Chips were a first-time purchase because of the recommendation in The Argus. My large cod was very tasty, beautifully cooked, in crispy batter, but shame that the fillet was thin and left me wanting. The chips should be an embarrassment to the management. At this time of year when potatoes are at their best before any frost has deteriorated them, they were of a really grotty quality. The messy small bits with inconsistent colour were not freshly cooked and not enjoyed. They verged on warmish. Value was disappointing, because the cost was about £5 more than it would have been in our usual chippy, for the two of us. Marks out of ten: Fish 8, chips 4, only because I love Fish & Chips. It was a case of going further and faring worse.

Loved my dinner here. I had the fried cod and chips - delicious and a very generous serving! Lovely and quick service, staff were amazing. Will definitely be back when I’m next in Brighton!
While not on the coast where a number are, Bardsleys just off the London Road is certainly a find. Well priced. I had Plaice and Chips and ate in. Food delicious.

Truly authentic fish and chips experience. Fantastic and friendly service.Prices are a little high but prices are rising everywhere and for a sit down service, with this quality, it was worth it.My German, Chillean and Italian colleagues were impressed too, which made my day.

First trip here, recommended from the Time-Out website. Atmosphere and Service were great, although there was some confusion over the menu, the cod was a lovely thick piece and the chips were fried beautifully. Zero complaints, would certainly visit again if in the area.

Such an amazing atmosphere, food was amazing. Some of the best fried fish I've ever had the white bait is full recommended. Also the service was some of the bests I've ever had. Thank you Bev.
