The 7 Best Places for Fish and Chips In Brighton

Last Updated on 28 April 2026 by Dave King

If you’re looking for the best fish and chips in Brighton, the right choice depends on what kind of meal you want. Some places are better for a quick old-school takeaway, some work best if you want to sit down by the sea, and some are stronger if you need vegan options or a Hove stop rather than a central Brighton one. This guide focuses on seven venues that currently show as open through live official pages or current listings, so you can make a decision without wading through outdated recommendations.

Fish and chips in Brighton at a glance

Venue	Area	Approx Price	Best For
Bardsley’s	Baker Street, Brighton	£14 to £16	A classic old-school chippy
Bankers	Western Road, Brighton	£11 to £15	A reliable all-rounder with restaurant seating
The Regency Restaurant	Seafront, Brighton	£14.50 to £18	Sit-down fish and chips with sea views

RYBKA	Meeting House Lane, The Lanes	About £19.50	A more modern, stylish fish and chips stop
Wolfies of Hove	Goldstone Villas, Hove	£12.45 to £13.25	A strong Hove option
Harry Ramsden’s Brighton	Marine Parade, Brighton	£18 to £19	A familiar seafront pick near the pier

These prices are based on current official menus where available, or current live ordering/menu listings where the venue’s own site does not show an easy public price.

Best fish and chips in Brighton for a classic old-school chippy

Bardsley’s, Baker Street, around £14 to £16.

This is the one I would pick if you want a more traditional Brighton fish and chips experience rather than a polished restaurant version. Bardsley’s official site still presents it as a long-standing Brighton fish and chip restaurant on Baker Street, and current menu listings show cod and chips and haddock and chips landing in the mid-teens.

Best fish and chips in Brighton for a reliable all-rounder

Bankers, Western Road, around £11 to £15.

Bankers is the safest all-round recommendation if you want somewhere central that still feels like a proper fish and chip restaurant rather than just a takeaway counter. The current Brighton page on the official site confirms the Western Road restaurant is open, and current live menu listings show lunch fish specials from just under £12 to just under £14.

Best fish and chips in Brighton for a sit-down seafood meal by the sea

The Regency Restaurant, seafront, around £14.50 to £18 for classic fried fish dishes.

This is the pick if the setting matters as much as the food. The Regency’s official site is very clear that fish and seafood are the main draw, and current 2026 menu listings show battered cod, haddock and plaice in the mid-teens. It is a better fit for a slower sit-down lunch or dinner than a quick takeaway on the move.

Best vegan fish and chips in Brighton

The No Catch Co., Kings Road, around £12.50 to £15.
If you want vegan fish and chips in Brighton, this is the obvious answer. The No Catch Co.’s official Brighton page confirms the Kings Road location and current opening hours, while the live menu shows regular vegan cod and chips from £12.49 and larger plates into the mid-teens.

Best fish and chips in Brighton for something more modern

RYBKA, Meeting House Lane in The Lanes, about £19.50 for its Fish Supper for 1.

RYBKA is the one to choose if you want fish and chips that feel more design-led and a bit different from a traditional chippy. Its official site says it is on Meeting House Lane in Brighton’s Lanes, and the current menu lists Fish Supper for 1 at £19.50. That makes it pricier than a classic shop, but it is also aiming for a different kind of experience.

Best fish and chips in Hove

Wolfies of Hove, Goldstone Villas, around £12.45 to £13.25 for cod or haddock.

If you are on the Hove side and do not want to trek into central Brighton, Wolfies is the clearest dedicated fish and chips option I found that is still open and easy to price-check. Its current site and order page show the Hove address, phone number and live prices for cod, haddock and other fish dishes. It also remains one of the better-known local options for gluten-free diners, though always check directly if allergies are a concern.

Best fish and chips in Brighton near Brighton Palace Pier

Harry Ramsden’s Brighton, Marine Parade, around £18 to £19 for regular cod or haddock and chips.

This is the easiest recommendation if your day already revolves around Brighton Palace Pier and you want a familiar seafront option within easy reach. Harry Ramsden’s official Brighton page confirms the site is open on the seafront, and the current Brighton menu shows regular cod and chips at £17.99 and regular haddock and chips at £17.89.

Which Brighton fish and chip shops are still open?

The seven places above all have current official pages or current live listings that show they are operating in April 2026. That is one of the reasons I have not simply kept every older recommendation that still floats around in list articles. Some older Brighton fish and chips guides drift into venues that are harder to verify cleanly now, or that are better described as pubs or seafood restaurants than proper chip-shop recommendations.

What makes Brighton fish and chips worth bothering with?

Brighton still has a good fish and chips scene because it gives you more than one version of the experience. You can do the classic family-run route at Bardsley’s, the central all-rounder at Bankers, the sit-down seafront option at The Regency, or the modern Lanes version at RYBKA. Add vegan fish and chips at No Catch and the Hove option at Wolfies, and the city is stronger on variety than a lot of seaside places.

If you want broader sit-down ideas beyond chip shops, our best restaurants in Brighton guide is the better next step. And if you are specifically trying to keep the bill low, cheap places to eat in Brighton will give you more options than a fish-and-chips-only list.

Final thoughts

For most people, the decision comes down to Bardsley’s for tradition, Bankers for reliability, or The Regency Restaurant if the setting matters. The rest depends on whether you want vegan, modern, Hove, or pier-adjacent.
