| Brighton pier |
Location: Brighton seafront
Description: Seaside fish and chip restaurant chain that was founded more than 75 years ago
Reason for visit: My boyfriend and I decided to drive to Brighton one evening after work and had a walk along the seafront, dinner at Harry Ramsden's and doughnuts on the pier. We chose Harry Ramsden's because of its location and also because my boyfriend had never been to one (and we wanted chips rather than anything fancy!).
I ate: A sort of 'surf and turf' of chicken and scampi in breadcrumbs with chips
My companion ate: sausage and chips
The food was: My chips were flaccid and pale - I think they were undercooked. The scampi and chicken was just as I expected - nothing fancy but tasty.
The atmosphere/service was: Service was friendly and fast, but the place had no atmosphere. The decor reminded me of a greasy spoon and the local radio station was playing in the background (complete with irritating DJ patter). It's fine for a quick meal but not somewhere you want to hang around.
Price range/value for money: Not bad, though I feel like I could have the same standard of food for a couple of pounds from the van on the pier. At least we got to sit down and use the toilets.
Would I recommend it? Not particularly - it's OK but nothing special, and I think next time I would just get a bag of chips on the pier. I do recommend driving from London to Brighton on a hot summer's evening if you can though - it only took us about an hour to get there and we had a lovely evening.
Hi Caroline, I just wanted to drop by and say thanks for adding me to your blog roll - it's an awesome list you have there so thanks so much for including me on it.
ReplyDeleteAlso it has led me to your delicious blog which I can't wait to dig into now! Do you happen to have any good gluten free cake recipes - maybe cupcakes or brownies - as I haven't found one I've liked yet!
Thanks

I don't make gluten free, sorry - I have no need to so I've never really looked at gluten-free recipes. Have a look at some of the other blogs on my blogroll and you might find something useful, though I'm sorry I can't be more specific about which ones to look at. Thanks for stopping by.
Deletein the event you nonetheless restaurants in newhaven haven't consumed below then you definitely should go in addition to take a look at the food as soon as possible.
