The Battery

Brighton has always been an Irish expat haven, but now it finally has an authentic Irish chipper, serving homemade battered and fried . . . everything, from fish and chips to potato pies to sausages and burgers. You heard right — breaded and deep-fried hamburgers. (Take that, good cholesterol!) But the menu includes healthier, baked options, too.
