The Fishmarket
A seafood spot by the historic Newhaven Harbour, run by Roy Brett in partnership with a local fishmonger, offering excellent fish and chips for dine-in or takeout.
Located at Pier Place by the historic Newhaven Harbour, this eatery is a joint venture between chef Roy Brett and Welch Fishmongers, offering both dine-in and takeout options.
