Priorities decided to enjoy these before resolving the... More

We went to Bankers last weekend after reading the reviews here at Tripadvisor. We live near Croydon and decided a trip to Brighton for fish'n'chips would make a nice change. I booked a table for 4 at 6pm which later, after a couple of booking changes became a table for 8 at 7pm. When we arrived, another party of 8... More

Basic café décor but very clean -it reminded me of the old fashioned 50's/60's fish and chip cafes in style. Tables fairly close together.The waitress was extremely quick and efficient. We ordered two medium cod and chips, with mushy peas and bread and butter. I had cup of tea and bottled water. My friend had a couple of small beers.... More

After searching which is the best fish and chips in Brighton this seemed a good one, so we decided to give it a go. The fried starter platter was good, plenty of beatuiful whitebait and the squid and scampi were also really tasty. Then we had the large cod and the huss for main. The batter was way too crispy...

We visited on Saturday Lunchtime. Had the special of Skate, Chips and salad (they grilled the fish for us). It was great the only fault found was that the fish was so large we could not finish it. The chips were really good and even my non chip eating husband ate more chips than I have ever seen him do.... More

Why are people giving this place above 1 star is beyond me. I don't know what the chips are cooked in buy they are always wrinkly, dark and greasy. I am a local, so I know what a good chip is.
