Best vg fish and chips!! - Edit
Incredible replica of the traditional fish and chips, the flavour of the smoked haddock 👌🏻 and the chips were insane. Also tried the tofish bites which were equally as tasty, absolutely amazing to have this choice by the seafront 😍

Best fish and chips I’ve ever had and big portions! - Edit
The fish and chips were sooo good. This is my first time having vegan fish and chips and they couldn’t have been better. If you’re a fan of fish and chips then definitely go here! Even if you’re not, my boyfriend is not a huge fan and he loved it too! We got two larges and didn’t finish all of it. Definitely get the vegan tartar sauce too!
Read morePros: Fish and chips were amazing, Large portions, Good tarter sauce

As a certified vegan fish LOVER, This meal was perfect for me. Had the haddock and chips and then tempura prawns on the side, the haddock was so amazing and the prawns were a great lighter side. Will add as well that we also bought a gherkin which was magnificent . best gherkin i’ve ever ever had. Thanks no catch! Thanks Ed!

Faithful but pricy and not for me taste wise - Edit
People I ate with said it was accurate tasting, but wasn’t for me; more of a personal preference I think. Also pricy for mostly chips

Oh my cod! - Edit
This is the first meal we had at VCO 2024. The chips were fried to perfection and I was very glad that you could help yourself to the salt, vinegar and ketchup. The “cod” tasted absolutely phenomenal, the nori being a fun but also surprisingly tasty touch. I could not, however, justify the price for the portion. Fish & chips are known to be an affordable meal option and though these are festival prices, the size of the meal was lacking. They also didn’t serve any mushy peas this year which made it very starch-heavy. The tartar sauce was just okay, could’ve used a bit more sauce. But the cod is a must-try!
Read morePros: Amazing “fish”, Friendly staff
Cons: Overpriced, No mushy peas :(

Incredible - Edit
Honestly this place is amazing, I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve been and I’m still excited to go back. The chips are SO GOOD! I’ve tried both types of sausages, the prawns and the calamari, it’s all so delicious if a little pricey, I wish I could have a bit of everything on the menu each time I go. The tartare sauce is also really delicious. The dessert, deep fried Oreo’s is a really yummy treat as well. Go here if you’re in Brighton!

Fantastic vegan chippy - Edit
Been looking forward to going here for a long time (we aren’t from Brighton) and it didn’t disappoint. Regular cod and chips and large battered sausage and chips with mushy peas and calamari too. It was all delicious and hope to visit again during our two remaining nights here!

Great fish n chips - Edit
This place has been on my list of places to try for a while. I had the cod n chips, mushy peas and tartare sauce. Absolutely delicious. Now I need to go back and try some of the other things on the menu. How lucky that as a vegan I can enjoy traditional fish & chips by the sea.

They’ve actually done it - Edit
I’ve had a few vegan fish and chips over the years which have ranged from bland to good but not all that fishy or chippy. They’ve actually managed to make a version that absolutely nails it and tastes damn good.
Read moreThe batter is perfectly crisp, the faux fish is surprisingly flavorful, and the chips are *insanely* good. If you’re familiar with Kenji Lopez-Alt’s technique for extra crispy roasted potatoes, these are basically the chip version of that: creamy fluffy inside and a craggy blistered exterior with the exact right amount of snap and crunch.
It’s truly a proper fish and chips shop with none of the cruelty. So go grab an order, throw a dash of vinegar on the chips, and sit outside and enjoy the view of the ocean.

Such a great location as it is across the road from the beach.
Read moreThe "cod" and chips were honestly so good!
The mushy peas were okay. They were honestly like lava - super hot, and very peppery.

Cons: Mushy peas

A Good fish and chips - Edit
Tofu based one was described as smoked flavour and the other called Cod which I had was not. It perhaps would have been nicer and less wasteful if things had been served on none disposable cutlery and cups.
Read morePros: Nice food, Pleasant atmosphere
Cons: I would have prefered real plates and cutlery.

Highlight of any Brighton trip - Edit
Delicious food, my non-vegan partner wished he’d ordered from there rather than the traditional shop! Cod and chips is great - nori is used as a replica fish skin and adds a fishy flavour which makes it different to other fish alternatives I’ve had (eg battered banana blossom). It does mean if you aren’t a fan of fishy flavours you’re better opting for the sausage.
Read morePros: Tasty food , All vegan!

Best fish & chips a vegan could hope for - Edit
Delicious and surprisingly ‘real’ tasting fish. Mushy peas and tartar sauce also didn’t disappoint. Highly recommend taking it to the Hole in the Wall pub round the corner to enjoy with a pint. Heard sausage & saveloy good too…
