About The Lighthouse Fish & Chips

On The Ridgeway in Chichester, The Lighthouse Fish & Chips is a fish and chips takeaway operating on a walk-in basis. Cod and chips with mushy peas is a standard order, and the fryer also turns out battered sausage and cheesy chips with the cheese melted through, plus a curry sauce option on the side. The wider menu extends to kebabs, wraps, and burgers alongside the fried fish range. Fish is cooked to order rather than held in advance, and chip portions run generous. Seating is available for those eating in, though most orders move through the counter for collection. Delivery is also offered, with staff bringing meals out to customers, and online ordering through the website supports both routes for those who would rather order ahead than queue on site.

Customer Review Summary

Cod and chips draws the most praise, with reviewers repeatedly calling the batter crispy and the fish moist and fresh, and chip portions described as generous. Close behind, the scampi, cheesy chips, and curry sauce get singled out, and one review of a kebab and the seating area suggests it as a pit stop. Service is called friendly and chatty by several, though quality swings: one reviewer found the fish inconsistent, another got a lukewarm battered sausage with pale, spongy batter left under a heat lamp, and one reported chips that were chewy and tasted of old oil. A delivery mix-up happened at one point, with staff apologizing and later delivering the correct order.

    “Update 2026/07: still really solid fish & chips, the scampi is good too! Prompt delivery and nice folks. Update 2025/07/30: update again, they did realise after a short while and delivered the correct order. Seems some key staff are on holiday and they did apologise! Delivered the wrong order to us and will not pick up the phone. Shame because the quality remained pretty good. Some occasional off days. First review: Ordered online for delivery, very quick and absolutely delicious on all fronts. Had the standard cod and chips and mushy peas. We’re fussy about our fish and chips but it was just perfect really. Chip portion sizes are plenty generous, if you’ve got a smaller appetite like me I recommend the small chips!!”

    “Solid cheesy chips, cheese was well melted and they were hot. However my battered sausage was luke-warm and the batter on it was pale and spongy and lacked flavour, I was hoping it would have been golden and crispy. It seemed it had been cooked a while ago and just left under the heat lamp Guy who served us was very nice tho”
