Now this is a proper chippy, with its checkerboard shop front, laminated menus and an origin story that begins way back in 1826 – since then, four generations of the Bardsley family have fried fish for the city’s hungry locals. There’s a proper sit-down restaurant inside, where walls pay tribute to Brighton’s “Cheeky Chappie” comedian and singer, Max Miller. Alternatively, take away from the ready-to-go bar and find a spot in the nearby Level park, where skaters dip in and out of half pipes and there are far fewer gulls trying to nick your supper than down by the sea.
