Holiday Inn Fish Restaurant

Authentic type fish restaurant. I prefer my battered cod a bit darker and crispier and fish cooked a bit more, this was the opposite light batter and tender fish. I guess that's my preference. Mushy peas a bit runny and fizzy drink flat. Service attentive though restaurant was empty at the time. 2023: original review was couple of years ago. Batter seems a lot more crisper, nicely cooked and not very oily. Mushy peas tasty and thicker. Disappointing was draught beer; very flat. Would pay a little for quality tartar sauce than sachets. Handful more of chips needed.

What a lucky find! We visited in the evening on the last day of Airborne, the four day airshow at Eastbourne. The fireworks on the last evening encourage everyone to stay after the flying stops at about 6 and find somewhere to eat before the display at 9. The whole town was packed with people and to our amazement, Holiday Inn had a table that we could sit down at. The queue for takeaway was out of the door so I had to skip past it to find out but I'm glad I did. I was met by Nathan, who has to be the hardest working youngster in the whole of Eastbourne - or at least he certainly was when we visited. He found us our table and very kindly helped me (or actually I helped him!) stow our pushchair out of the way which was really helpful. Service was frenetic and it was clear that the many members of staff that were working that evening were rushed off their feet - not surprising on an Airborne evening. Nonetheless, the food was absolutely outstanding - fresh and really nicely made, and although the place was flat out, we received our meal in no time at all and we're really looked after. A big thumbs up also for stocking the lager from Longman Brewery, just down the road. Top marks to all involved - and a big pat on the back to Nathan - this young man will go far in the world. We look forward to returning for more fish and chips sometime soon.

What a fantastic place this is, wonderful service and some of the best Fish and Chips I have ever had. We had a small, medium and large Cod and Chips with 3 soft drinks and the bill came to £38 which in a popular tourist place like Eastbourne I think is fantastic value. If we are ever in this area again we will definitely revisit for our Fish and Chip fix. A full 5 stars from me ☺️

Superb fish and chips. Fresh fish and chips cooked for our takeaway lunch - so yummy. The fish batter was really good, crispy but not oily. I had scampi and that was delicious. It’s a traditional fish and chip restaurant inside with lots of seating to choose from. Highly recommend. Service was superb, thank you.
