Holiday Inn Fish - Eastbourne

I only get to Eastbourne twice a year and make it a point to have a fish supper here when I am in town. There is a good selection of fish and it is always well done.

We were recommended this place by a local but it was a huge disappointment. As we entered the restaurant we were ‘greeted’ by a rather hostile waitress. She ignored the women in the group spoke only to the men. Then, the woman would speak to us and then speak to other waiting staff in another language, which we found quite rude. I didn’t find it a friendly place as another review also stated. The only reason we went there was because it was recommended and because we thought it was part of the Holiday Inn hotels. Holiday Inn, it definitely was not. If you want a cheap mediocre meal, this is the place to go..

DISGRACEFUL HOSPITALITY!!! We weren’t even customers of this restaurant and the (presuming) boss shouted and moaned at us for sitting outside. The waitress also had the audacity to come out and shout after, in front of the whole street without knowing the situation and blaming us for her bosses actions. A kind excuse me would have been appreciated if we weren’t allowed to sit outside instead or verbal abuse and snotty remarks. (Have been customers before so kinda sad but also not as their fish is soggy af)

Excellent quality food, amazing service. Friendly, local atmosphere. Good children’s menu. Likes the option to have fish grilled as well as fried.

This fish and chip shop has a beautiful traditional style with ample indoor seating. The staff are extremely friendly and the prices are great for the amount of food you get. However, be cautious as the portion sizes are quite large. Be sure to come hungry. Overall, highly recommended for a return visit.
