"Harry RAMSDEN’S Brighton The great thing about TA is that if negative reviews mention the same issues year after year then it’s obvious the owner or management doesn’t care. Such it is with Brighton HR. I went there today for lunch. But the prices were astronomical, and reading many reviews here the quality was low so far as causing sickness. So I thought maybe a take away might be cheaper. But the first challenge were the steps up to the serving area. With no railings I just about got up them. However there was no one taking orders in the serving area, and the warming cabinets were empty. OK I thought at least mine will be cooked fresh. Another customer then arrived and asked if I had ordered yet. No I said, there’s no one here. Ah he said, you have to order first at the entrance on the wall mounted computer system. He pointed down the stairs that I had just struggled up. Don’t they take cash I said? No contactless card only. And no cash. But don’t I get to see what I’m ordering first? Nope was his reply. I really didn’t want to struggle down the stairs to order from a faceless computer screen, and then struggle back up. So I made a snap decision obviously HR had gone rogue with a take it or leave it policy. So I left as best I could. Then I caught a 27 bus to Saltdean where there is an amazing Chinese owned fish and chippy, serving fresh caught fish at half the price of HR and of infinitely better quality."

"Visited today for ‘Brunch’. Ex US resident so always up for a decent American experience. Diner was half full and admitted straight away. The theming of the diner is excellent, maybe trying a little too hard, but in a fun way. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food this is where things fall down a little. After order we had to wait 35moms for it to arrive. A long time. Had they been packed that might have been acceptable, but half full it was too long. I ordered Cowboy pancakes which promised a ‘stack’ of pancakes but needed up being 3, with 5 blueberries, the smallest pot of maple syrup I’ve seen and a couple of rashers of bacon. The pancakes were not fresh made I suspect they are store bought? It was tasty but just not as good as it should have been. Overall not a great ‘American’ breakfast. Also had a smoothies which was fine but not worth £5.50. Partner had a cooked breakfast which was a little better, but had the bottomless coffee which actually became a little annoying as it meant stopping the waitress every 10 mins to get a refill. Either they need to give you a pot of coffee from the start or make sure they are coming around every 5 mins to refill. Certainly in any American diner in the US, you wouldn’t have to be asking for constant refills. Overall price was £30 which is an OK price for 2 people. However I also feel it should have been better food. Would only return in certain circumstances."
