Not quite Grimsby... but it's good

Bankers is a lovely fish and chips restaurant, okay it's not Grimsby fish and chips which is the best in the world, but it's not far off. What makes it so delicious is the fact it's not greasy and you get nice fat chips. The waiting staff are very friendly and attentive. It's really popular with families.

Beer and Battered Cod..

What could be more perfect than enjoying a nice ice cold beer at the same time as a large chips and battered cod? This unassuming fish and chip restaurant is just outstanding. It's no frills interior allows for you to go in at any time of day regardless of your state of dress at the time (evening or day). What I love about this place is you can often see the fishermen who've come in from their day's hard graft out at sea and are enjoying a well-earned rest after delivering the fresh fish which goes straight to your plate as quick as you can say "saveloy". Delicious.

The antidote...

...to Harry Ramsden's...Bankers is far superior. It's on Western Road nearer the Hove end and is really the place to go for a sit down fish n chip supper. Based inside a typically Brighton regency building it is quite a big place with polished wooden floors. It feels clean and well looked after and the smell as you step inside the door is irresistible.
Of course every good fish n chip place can be rated on the quality of its chips alone. They're not left hanging around getting soggy...they're crisp and non-greasy. The take-away is equally as good and you don't mind the short wait because you know your lovingly wrapped chips will taste incredible when you get them home. Or if you can't wait that long take a wooden fork and ask for them unwrapped. Just beware of the envious stares of passers-by as you walk along the street munching.
