I remember Bardsley's in Baker Street, when I used to work in a butcher shop in the same street. The best fish and chips in Brighton! They also (I think I remember correctly) had a shop round the corner from Sydney Street, where I again worked in a butcher shop. Because we didn't close for lunch we often used to get some piping hot good food to keep us going. Now, I'm going back to my very young days when Mum, Dad and I used to go to the cinema called the Academy in West Street. When we came out at the end of the films we used to go to a fish restaraunt in Russell Street. I do believe that that was part of Bardsley's (please correct me if I'm wrong). Great memories of great British food!!

Bardsley's has moved around I think. I remember it being on Upper North Street just west of Regent Hill. The one near the Academy may well have been a Bardsley's too but I think it was in a small road just to the north of Russell Street and not in Russell Street itself (the small lane lead up to some derelict land that became Churchill Square). Great fish and chips wherever it is.

Far too expensive but the new chairs and tables have to be paid for somehow

The bill here is always a small price to pay for the best fish 'n chips in Sussex, if not the whole of the south of England.

I don't think Bardsley's is expensive for what it is - simply the best fish and chips ever! We only live two minutes round the corner and have totally lucked out living so close!

Bardsley's fish and chip shop was in Upper Russell Street just around the corner from Regency Road. They also had one in Gloucester Road just up from Sydney Street on the right hand side.

I love Bardsleys!

I've never tasted such yummy, not that fattening chips! The staff are friendly and are always helpful and understanding. They are my family - yay!

Yes there was a branch of Bardsleys in Upper North Street.  I used to live in that part of Brighton and remember it well.

If you log on to the Regencysociety-jamesgray collecton,volume 29 image 135, there is a picture of their shop in Upper Russel St. The double fronted one.

Bardsley's now charges five pounds for corkage. For take-out it's still good. Otherwise it's now sadly like all the other restaurants.

Simply the best fish and chips in the whole UK. Very lovely friendly people who look after your every need. I may be a bit biased as I'm family but live along way away.

There were a number of Bardsleys and the Baker Street one is the only one left. They were all owned by my great grandparents - Benjamin Bardsley and his wife Annie - and their children - Jim, Emily, Isobel and Harriet. (Harriet and her husband William - Curly - ran the Baker Street shop and their family run it now.) My grandmother (Mary-Jane) ran a chip shop at the top of Edward Street called Moorhouses after her husband Tom, but the others were all called Bardsleys. Benjamin's portrait hangs outside the Baker Street shop. Apologies to rest of the family if I've got some of these details wrong! And they are definitely the best chips ever!

My stepfather, Donald Young, was in the shop opposite Bardsleys in the 1970s. It was called Soundtracks. Donald use to do the TV and Radio repairs mostly and Tony White and his wife did the business side. There was a young girl Barbara who sold the records and I also remember someone called George. The shop later became Rottingdean Tele Radios, I think.

During the seventies, Bardsley's of Baker Street sold the best tasting fish and chips in Brighton - in fact I remember thinking I had never tasted better, anywhere. Sometime, late seventies, I think, Bardsleys received an Egon Ronay Award - yes, a fish and chip shop. Soon after that, it was sold, and, though it may have been my imagination, there was a period during which the food just did not taste the same.

I am now 6', in 1959 I was 4'6". How do I know? 'cos I'm guessing that that was the height of the counter at Upper Russell Street and I couldn't see over it. However, Harriet or one of her family would take out a chip and place it on the edge of the counter for me. I still have the scar on the top of my mouth, but I have still yet to sample a tastier chip!
