Tammy’s Fish & Chips

Stepping into Tammy’s Fish & Chips on The Drove feels like slipping into a comforting local ritual. The air hums with the gentle sizzle of batter hitting hot oil, mingling with the cozy buzz of familiar voices and quick, cheerful exchanges behind the counter. It’s a spot where time slows just enough to appreciate the little things—the warmth of freshly cooked food, the careful wrapping of paper parcels, and the easy camaraderie among regulars and first-timers alike.

The atmosphere is down-to-earth and unpretentious, a welcome contrast to the busier, more tourist-focused places along Brighton’s seafront. Here, you’re not rushed; instead, there’s a steady, thoughtful pace that echoes the care put into each portion. Whether arriving solo to pick up a classic cod and chips or gathering with friends for something a little different like rock or scampi with a generous helping of curry sauce, the experience feels rooted in simple pleasures.

Behind Tammy’s counter, the team’s genuine warmth and attentiveness elevate the everyday fish and chip run into something quietly memorable. The batter crackles satisfyingly crisp without overwhelming the tender fish beneath, and the chips carry just the right amount of golden crunch. Paired with comforting sides like mushy peas or a homemade pie, the menu invites moments of contentment rather than haste.

For those who appreciate local tradition, Tammy’s is a place where the rhythm of the neighborhood plays out in the hum of the fryer and the steady stream of loyal customers. Ordering here feels less like a transaction and more like participating in a small, joyful occasion—a moment to savor both the food and the friendly, familiar surroundings.
