Having made the choice to ride to Brighton Big Tone checked out some reviews to enable a choice to be made as to which establishment we would grace with our presence for Breakfast. The Web site stated the cafe opened at 09.00 but apparently this was delayed because of some carnal antics the owner and his wife had to finish prior to opening an admission of the owner ( im nor making this up !!). Having waited 40 minutes for the place to open we decided to make the order simple 5 x full English with a mug of tea.

Read moreBeen coming here for years, as a local, this used to be always the best fish & chips in Brighton, great service, nice guy and staff. NOT NOW! Today a bloke who looked like a stand-in manager sat smoking where people were ordering and eating, and I had the most DISGUSTING PIECE OF FISH EVER!
