Quick info
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
Reviewers most often come for the fish and chips, with cod and chips alongside mushy peas and a soft plaice under a classic crust singled out. The fish is described as freshly cooked, moist inside with crispy batter. Generous chip portions come up repeatedly, and one reviewer suggests the small chips for lighter appetites. Close behind are the curry sauce, scampi, cheesy chips with well melted cheese, and a kebab, along with friendly, chatty service and quick delivery. Consistency is the recurring caveat. One reviewer says the fish swings from great to average, another found a battered sausage lukewarm, pale and spongy, as if left under the heat lamp, and a third calls the chips inedible, chewy and tasting of old oil, with some very dark brown. Another reviewer found the soft rather than crispy chips good. Delivery also drew a complaint: a wrong order arrived and the phone went unanswered, though the correct order followed after an apology.

“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”
