Oh I do like to live beside the seaside

Beyond expectations
Living by the seaside you would hope that your local chippy would be a cut above the average. The chip basket is exactly that. I always have cod, chips and mushy peas. I can't remember having sampled better. Popularity means that's often a queue but worth the wait

High quality chips in Hove...

Above expectations
...guaranteed!
I can't speak for the fish or the saveloys as I'm a veggie but the chips and battered mushrooms are really, really good. I've never experienced any soggy-ness myself...sorry to hear that about your batter Jamie S.
The place is spotless too which is always very encouraging especially if you have mild OCD like me! I like the staff too...they happily chat to you whilst you're waiting at the counter. I don't mind the wait...it means my chips are fresh. Then all you need to do is get home and slap them on two slices of white bread (the chips...not the staff) with real butter. Heaven...although not good as part of a calorie-controlled diet...

A good chippy

As expected
I've never eaten inside the Chip Basket but every time I have had a takeaway it has been very nice. If you do want to eat in then it always looks very clean and doesn't have lots of drunk idiots hanging around.
The food is good, sometimes the fish batter can be a bit soggy by the time you get it home, the chips are nice and the portions are decent. The pickled eggs are better than some I have tried if you're feeling adventurous.
Prices aren't bad as well, certainly didn't let me down when i was looking for somewhere to eat in a hurry
