English's of Brighton
what the critics say
Matthew Norman - 4/10
Tuesday, July 26, 2011 - If English's retains a sliver of fusty charm, this is thanks partly to the niceties (excellent cutlery and napery, and a handsome tiled bar), and partly to the friendliness of a portly and suitably Edwardian manager...Lucy's Cornish sardines were fleshy but mushy, as were my oysters Kilpatrick, served warm with a clumping tomato sauce and salty bacon, which I flooded with Tabasco in a deranged rescue bid...This is by no means a bad restaurant, but it is a complacent and foolishly self-reverential one that needs a jolt of electricity.
your comments review this restaurant
I really enjoyed dining here. The service was excellant. So nice to find 'proper' waiters who know how to treat customers without all that over friendly 'American style' crap.
The food was very good and well presented, although the wine was a bit overpriced.
A definite for my next visit to Brighton.
