The food was fresh and delicious, the portions are huge, and the people who cooked and served the food were thoroughly lovely. This is our new favourite fish and chip shop!

Got a haddock and chips from big fish. It was the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. It is extremely flavoursome and I would recommend this place to everyone in Lewes. They also have a wide selection of freshly made drinks!

Great place for your classic fish and chips! But if you want to adventure away from your British classic then they have excellent Japanese options!
