Where every plate tells a story
English's of Brighton is proud to be the oldest seafood restaurant in Brighton, situated in the heart of the historic Lanes. With a rich history dating back to 1945, we have had the pleasure of hosting countless visitors and locals alike. As you step through our doors, you'll be transported to a world of elegance and sophistication, where the finest seafood is expertly prepared and presented to impress.
Our story began when the Leigh-Jones family took the reins in 1945, and since then, we have been committed to serving the freshest and finest seafood, paired with an unparalleled wine list. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for excellence, our team is dedicated to ensuring every guest has an unforgettable dining experience.
Whether you're looking for a traditional plate of seafood or something a bit more adventurous, our expert staff will guide you through our extensive menu, helping you choose the perfect dish to accompany your meal. We cater to parties of all sizes, from intimate gatherings to grand celebrations, and our stunning marble-topped oyster bar is the perfect spot to indulge in a platter of oysters or a decadent three-course meal.
