English's Of Brighton

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.

With a keen eye for detail and a passion for excellence, our team is dedicated to ensuring every guest has an unforgettable dining experience.

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.
