Bankers Traditional Fish & Chip Restaurant
Bankers Traditional Fish & Chip Restaurant
Bankers Brighton serves up some of the finest fish and chips in our seaside town and is considered a traditional fish and chip establishment.
Their history started in the 1920s when they launched a fish and chips in Romford, London, and over time they expanded into other areas, which now includes Bankers in central Brighton and Hove.
A branch of this chain is located on Western Road, on the opposite side of Norfolk Square, and offers both takeout and eat-in options for fish and chips.
The perfect spot
Bankers is the perfect place to grab a quick meal before heading to the beach.
When winter arrives and the weather isn’t beach appropriate, it’s better to go for a traditional style restaurant than the fast-food option. Being particularly well-designed, the flagship store in Brighton features rich wood finishes and expansive windows that allow for plenty of natural light.
The main course items are 15 fish dishes, served paired together with chips (which can also be substituted for salad or jacket potatoes). The batter at Bankers Brighton has not changed from the original recipe, it is looked up to, but not surpassed.
The restaurant is family-owned and family-focused. The kids’ menu is served with smaller portions, ice cream and soft drinks are available. On Mondays through Thursdays, senior citizens receive a discount. Everyone loves fish and chips!
Sustainability
Bankers Brighton maintains a strong commitment to sustainability, an aspect that most fast food businesses ignore when trying to minimize costs.
Fish sources for Bankers come from sustainable fisheries in Iceland, where discarded fish is strictly forbidden, and quotas are tightly controlled to ensure that the ocean can grow.
The Bankers strong sustainability policy is further enhanced by the use of only biodegradable or recycled packaging. Aside from their ethical recognition, they also produce good quality and good value fish and chips!
Our Bankers experience
With a fish platter, we were able to sample a variety of starters.
Served out in a large oval plate right away, it included golden crispy calamari rings, delicious cod goujons, breaded scampi bites, as well as crispy cockles.
Two nice lemon wedges, along with a delicious lemon-dill sauce, were served on the side. We tucked into more than enough to start the day off right.
As far as main courses are concerned, the menu featured Haddock, Cod, Plaice, Fish Cakes, Battered Sausages and Scampi.
There is also the option of cooking the fish in breadcrumbs or grilling it, which is good for those who don’t enjoy battered fish. To those who prefer pies over fish at the fish & chip shop, you can pick up the house special, a fish pie, to eat in.
Though all the main courses on the menu looked tempting, the fish special on a menu board by the kitchen piqued my interest. Servéed with a huge plate of salad and chips, this sea bream was baked, stuffed with lemon and chopped parsley. There was no doubt about the freshness of this fish–it was firm and flaky with radiant white flesh.
In terms of chips, we had two options: big chunks of white potatoes and very thin sweet potatoes. If you are looking for a lighter lunch and you need a vitamin C boost, go for the latter! I liked the white chunky chips best because their inside was fluffy, while the outside was crisp. Despite being slightly softer, the sweet potatoes tasted delicious because they had a sweet, creamy flavour. In addition, those potatoes are all grown on British farms with which Bankers has maintained a close working relationship for decades.
This restaurant’s traditional fish and chips are nothing to complain about, but the specials are the real draw.
There may not be any awards for its wine list or decor, but it’s a great chippy regardless of whether you’re dining in or ordering takeout, and anything that supports British farmers gets my vote.

There is a deep-seated tradition of drinking tea in British society. Everything’s better with tea.
It hasn’t changed very much over time, even according to the old customers. It sits peacefully among the glam, shabby chic, and bohemian vibe of this seaside city. Amazing that all these cakes are made in such a small building.
You can enjoy a warm and comfortable afternoon tea experience at their establishment. Their famous mega doughnuts, along with their home-baked cakes and sweets, like strawberry meringues, are also popular. Also, don’t forget to get your fill of tasty lemon pies, fluffy cakes, and fruity scones.
My friend treated me to a lovely day out last week. We decided to stroll along the seafront and the Pier, and went to ‘the Mock Turtle’.
Having a relaxing atmosphere like this is perfect after a long, hard day’s work. There is a lot of character and style to this restaurant. I look forward to returning to try more of their tasty treats soon!
The quaint little tea shop in North Laine can provide you with a nostalgic experience with its collection of handmade cakes, served on vintage tableware, and a welcome escape from the stress of modern life.
It’s a tiny shop with a lot of character. Almost everything is vintage-style, and the servers even wear old maid outfits. The china saucers and classic tablecloths add to the vintage-style feel. While visiting Brighton, we stopped by here and thought it was excellent.
The scones and cake especially were delicious! It was large enough for me and my friend to share a tea for two.
With its vintage china, the tea room serves a delightful cream tea that is accompanied by fresh clotted cream and jam, as well as a cheese and chive option that includes homemade onion jam and cream cheese. Offering a variety of milkshakes and cold beverages, the café also has indoor and outdoor seating.
Adding the kindness of the staff, what more can we expect? A great place to relax along with delicious tea and homemade pastries every day. On busy days, a table might be hard to come by, but it’s worth stopping.
Located in the centre of Brighton, it is an inviting tea room that is perfect to spend a relaxing afternoon. Even though it has the largest tea menu in the city and some truly incredible options, this is a place that you can go to regularly. It is a good fit for Brighton.
You’ll find an intimate little shop right in town, off Western Road, adorned with small trinkets, lamps, and a cosy, charming interior. Additionally, there is a small yard that has a couple of seating areas available for use during sunny days.
Some of the teas available on the menu include organic Darjeeling, Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearls, and Temi Tea. You can choose from a superb selection of green teas as well as flavoured teas, including a few rather unusual blends. How about Limoncello and Witch Blend?
While there is a large tea menu available, the food is more modest. Whether you’re looking for a quick bite for a couple of pounds or a full afternoon tea with scones, sandwiches, tea and cake, the restaurant has it all.
These weren’t at all overly sweet and dense like some gluten-free options. The restaurant doesn’t cater to vegans, but they can prepare a special dish for you if you call ahead.
Due to its proximity to a town, it is a handy place to go for a pit stop and a quick bite or a tea date with your girlfriends. A place to unwind with books, magazines, and games, if you have the time. Here, there are so many friendly people.
In light of the proliferation of eating establishments like Starbucks and chains of restaurants in Brighton, it is more important than ever to show our support for our independent businesses, as they are what contribute to the city’s charm.
This small family-owned restaurant is located in Brighton, specializes in serving Thai cuisine and offers appetizing dishes.
They offer some authentic dishes which are unique on the regular menu just like Pad See Ew (stir-fried noodles) with your choice among meat options such as chicken, beef or pork alongside vegetables including broccoli and baby corn topped off with delicious soy sauce flavoured brown gravy served over rice cooked perfectly al dente – Mmmmm…
Siam Siam also offers some great vegetarian options such as the tea leaf salad with stir-fried cashew nuts which will please even those who don’t eat meat.
If your appetite is more for desserts than entrees, I recommend trying some mango dessert or good sticky rice with fresh-cut fruit when visiting this place – it’s both tasty and aesthetically pleasing. When looking for drinks while dining out consider ordering wine (or maybe beer). However, be sure to order some Thai iced tea or coffee if thirsty after dinner instead because they are just fantastic here too!
When you walk into this cosy local spot you feel like part of their big Thai – loving family! The atmosphere of the dining area makes you feel like an honoured guest, rather than just another customer on their list!
A few of the fantastic dishes included in the menu are the Tequila Firecracker Prawns and Peruvian Bean Stew. In this restaurant, however, their fajitas with onion, pepper, and homemade salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese are the star. They are served on sizzling platters with soft flour tortillas for wrapping up all the goodness.
They also have an amazing ‘Day of the Dead’ decorated cocktail lounge upstairs, where you can enjoy frozen cocktails and take advantage of the happy hour from Sunday through Thursday. A cocktail or bottle of South American wine can be enjoyed while Mariachi music is played.
A perfect mix of vegan and non-vegan dishes in an inviting atmosphere- what better place to dine!
Nachos on a plate for one is excellent. There is more than enough for one to share. Besides the regular margaritas, the flavoured ones are also great! Our evening was always rounded off with great tequila.
It manages to evoke images in your head right as you walk through the door! A time when America was optimistic and happy; it’s no surprise then how this mood can be seen on Ed’s walls too!
There are also great value prices for everything you get: from breakfast to dinner they’ve got it covered. Don’t forget to try Ed’s famous Milkshakes made fresh in flavours like mud pie, vanilla, chocolate and peanut butter (YUM!)
Customers can enjoy great food while sitting in booths, tables, or stools and listening to their favourite songs from the 1950s.
Dessert lovers with a sweet tooth – this place is for you! They have an extensive selection of desserts from waffles, to pancakes and even chocolate brownies. We ordered the classic combination of waffles and ice cream (which were deliciously crispy) served in generous servings that will satisfy all your cravings. There’s nothing better than taking care of those post-dinner hunger pains at Ed’s.
No matter if you’re celebrating an occasion or not, everyone is welcome. Kids are also well-cared for! You can find a wide selection of spacious and comfortable seating options. Despite being large, the restaurant is neither too crowded nor too empty because it is well laid out!
When you’re looking for a special treat, TGI Fridays makes its burgers to die for. Glazed burgers are one of their best sellers. They are topped with Monterey Jack cheese, bacon, and their special sauce.
The combination of house fries and blue cheese slaw is a surefire way to make you sweat!
It is highly recommended to try the delicious pork ribs, as well as the chicken sandwiches. I rewarded myself with a rich and delicious chocolate fudge cake afterwards.
Beautiful design, music, and ambience! I was amazed at the amount of attention that was paid to every little thing! Just like Planet Hollywood, but more amazing!
There are several appetizers and entrees to choose from here, as well as a variety of cocktails to enjoy. Whatever your taste, you will find it here, from creative cocktails to a cool beer or glass of wine! There is a price premium, but the large glass compensates.
A team of chefs prepares the food within an open kitchen, effortlessly creating it, and managing to deliver it on time. Whenever I visit, I am amazed at how efficient they are, because their restaurant is always packed and alive!
The venue hosts some of the best parties around with a cocktail bar, restaurant lounge, and club all under one roof!
With exquisite features and a collection of artwork to admire, this venue is perfect for party-goers!
Not only will delicious British classics like steak be served but also a 3-course meal for your enjoyment.No matter what you’re looking for, there’s something here to indulge all of your senses.
They have a team of professionals who are ready to create whatever you imagine!
If you’re looking for an unforgettable evening with friends or loved ones then it doesn’t get better than this! I can’t wait to come back and have some fun.
The Bali Brasserie is the perfect place for any adventurous diner. The food from this side of the world has been overlooked by many, but hidden gems like these are worth a try!
Although Indian, Chinese, Thai food have grown in popularity over time due to their availability at most restaurants; this area of the Pacific remains fresh with its abundance of unique dishes waiting for a hungry customer looking for something different from what they’ve had before.
The Bali Brasserie Hove is a landmark in Brighton and Hove, serving delicious Indonesian- Malaysian cuisine. Settle into the beautiful ambience of First Avenue at the seafront end for an experience you won’t forget anytime soon.
Seafood dishes are aplenty at this restaurant, which you’ll find to be the perfect place if you’re looking for food that’s not too spicy. The mee goreng is delicate and easy on your palate while also satisfying any hunger pangs with its sizeable portions.
The staff are knowledgeable about every dish as well so if it’s new-to-you let them know and they can give recommendations on what is best.
