Cox's at the Lighthouse in Huntingdonshire

Food was tasty. Could have been hotter. Had to heat the food up in the microwave.

My driver was great today. Found my very rural place 1st time and friendly. Highly recommended.

Staff polite and welcoming,and if you have questions they are more than happy to answer and if they are not sure if the answer they find out.Foid is cooked to order so is lovely fresh and hot fantastic,would recommend this fish and chips shop 100 per cent.

Fat quick service. Fish and chips were excellent.

Fat quick service. Fish and chips were excellent.

the food was cold the batter on the fish soggy, the fish was dry , the batter on the cod roe was soggy no salt or vinegar what i asked for , not at all impressed.

Ridiculously pricey for greasy unappealing food.

the food we had today was disappointing, the chips were soggy with black bits on them the fish was overcooked and dry,not upto normal excellent standard.

Lovely place. Couldn’t wait to try this one out. Service was great. Food is ok, but it was pricey for the small portion size, compared to our usual. Was disappointed with the size of the cod and portion of large chips.

I am disabled and took my 14 year old grandson to the shop, i waited in my car for nearly an hour before he emerged with my order, i was busting to use a toilet, when we got home 5 mins away the meal was inedible, cold and not what i wanted, had the cheek to give my grandson a free drink, never again.

Visiting Family in the area, best fish and chips I have had for a long time!

We are repeat customers. I ordered off of the website to collect. Mucked up the timing but thankfully left a note which explained the actual pickup time I wanted. I messaged via instagram with the order number to let them know and they responded very quickly which was appreciated. I collected the meal a little earlier than the planned time. I tend to park in Tesco if the parking opposite is taken. The two younger members of staff that served me were great, after I arrived it started to get busier so arrived at the right time! Cox's is worth the hype and the travel. We has the 2 for Tuesday offer (2 medium fish and 2 chips). The chips were cooked well - crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. You can tell the correct potato was used as the chips didn't taste soggy and were perfectly cooked. Fish was great - light crispy batter but not greasy. Fish tasted fresh, flakey and had no bones that I could find. I ate the lot. Not usually much of a fish and chip fan but realised up until now I probably haven't had a decent fish and chips! My go to chippy. Great value and a traditional meal really done well. Will be sampling more of their menu in the future

When delivery arrived only fish in the bag when fish and chips were ordered. Eventually the chips arrived after another 20 minutes. At least Just Eat delivery driver was very helpful.

Absolutely delicious - one of the best Fish & Chips I've ever had, we love their Haddock & chips!!

We are very lucky to have a fantastic chippy in the area. They have plenty of options, including vegetarian and gluten free options which are just at the same high quality as their fish.

Poor service, delivery was late, partner type 2 diabetic. Order placed 1.5hrs before delivery slot.

All 3 saveloys weren't cooked and still freezing cold

Ordered for dinner on boxing Day, however didn't update their profile to say the restaurant was closed. Taken my money, and cannot get hold of anyone for a refund!

Usually love the food we get from here but this evening the chips were full of oil and over cooked and we didn't manage to eat them unfortunately. Hopefully just a one off.

Ridiculously over charged through Just Eats

Chips were forgotten, fish size was to tiny for the price, large chips are not enough for 2 adults and 2 kids

Really disappointing.... not a patch on our last takeaway from Cox's! Such a shame as I remember them as one of the best. Confusion with order in person then everything was wrapped individually and excessively which makes it a nuisance if eating in the car, used to come in nice boxes with a slice of lemon which was missing. Fish was greasy and not fresh, anemic chips bad quality and undercooked. Peas were bitter and all left a bad taste, curry sauce was good.

The food was not as hot as I’d like but was still nice. I’ve had ‘meatier’ / bigger plaice but tasted good.

Excellent food, best fish and chips I’ve had in the area. Thank you.

The chips were mushy and therefore the food was not as good as in the past

Good fish and chips, fair portions at a fair price.

Good traditional fish and chip shop. Friendly, helpful staff. My only criticism is that the external signage is not easy to see at night.

We had a huge order for a special family evening and all I can say is 'wow'. Everything was so tasty, hot and prepared on time. I was a bit worried as it was a big order that something would be missed but no, it was spot on.

The Halloumi was better than our last visit - I asked for double batter and this time this made it much better. The chips were tastier and more freshly cooked. My husbands fish was crispier and better cooked too. So overall an improvement over our last visit n February. Still not up to Mcks standard but improving. Well done for listening - Will try again.

Disappointing.. the staff were all friendly so no complaints there but the food and the packing of our order let it down :-( The ‘large’ Rock was pricey, not that large and it was really overdone as was my cod. I couldn’t even cut into my batter at the end of the piece! The chips were soggy and had stuck to the bottom of the carton so when you peeled one off the paper from the box came with it. We ordered 2 mushy peas and a curry sauce but only got 1 mushy peas in our order. I had to call and get a refund for them which was done straightaway to be fair but was disappointed not to have them. Was annoying though as they actually took a photo of my order from my phone as the online ordering system was down! If we had been in a restaurant we would have sent it back.

Very disappointed. Anaemic poor quality chips and overcooked, very greasy fish. Not exactly large as we had ordered. Shame as had always found it good quality.

Great gluten free options, curry sauce is lovely, great chips. Will order again

Best fish and chips for a long while. Definitely will order again.

Arrived in time piping hot definitely be ordering again

Gluten free batter was nicer than non (partner tried both!) love that there was plenty to choose from for GF options all very tasty though a little too greasy. Chips were fab best I’ve had in ages! Partner didn’t rate the seafood basket at all…too expensive for what it was. Would get the GF again but it’s expensive.

Delicious! Not a long wait for food

Great service, on time and great fish and chips as always

Always great food and service, always ready for collection. With a good range of foods including most of the menu available gluten free: winners every time.

This was second time we had food from here, you do not get value for money food was cold and dripping with grease the cod looks like it been cooked twice. Stay way

Fantastic quality food. Will definitely order again another time. The chips were lovely and not refried like in other chip shops. Very fresh

Will always miss Mick but this remains a superb chippy. Gorgeous fish, great chicken, perfect chips, lovely staff.

More skin than fish with undercooked yellow batter on the inside.

The gluten-free haddock and chips was the best I’ve had in I dont know how long. This was a takeaway that I collected and after the 30 mins it took me to get home and sit down with it, I was very pleasantly surprised to find the fish still very hot and the batter lovely and crispy. The chips were great too, not ‘blond’ like a lot of places seem to do. There’s 3 chip shops a little nearer to me, but id go back to this one over them for sure. Lovely staff too!

I like their chips and fish. Always on the ball regarding covid19 safety Now been taken over and gone downhill somewhat. Kids running the shop now. Closes up earlier than advertised

Great food and great gluten free options.

Unable to comment on food taste, order came and it was the wrong order, missing chips (in a chip shop) fancy that, the wrong sausage also, Contacted them and I was told to come in for them to rectify it (we paid for delivery initially), my pregant wife was hungry and getting frustrated They then sent it out about 35mins later... only for them to now forget to put mushy pees in, so now we've got 2 incomplete cold meals Shame, used a few times always been great, but will go back to our old faithful, If you want it hot and correct, best going in, clearly incompetent to understand the online order system

I cannot imagine what temperature the food was when it arrived but it must have been incandescent! I was late for a meeting so I was unable to eat it for two and a half hours. And it was all still warm! Amazing.

Food was hot, batter was light and crispy and chips were good too. 😀

When Mick ran this fish and chip shop everything was great. We have seen things go downhill over the last year. Yesterday our food was the worse we had ever experienced very little batter on the Halloumi and over cooked fish again with little batter. The chips were soggy. We regret we now won’t be back unless someone tells us it’s improved.

Such a shame that the pie was cold and spam fritter was really over cooked - chips were good though !

Very expensive for what it was, around 25% more than our usual fish & chips (not including delivery & service charge) the fish was similar quality but smaller portions. The chips were cold. We ordered at 17:25, given delivery estimate of 18:20-18:40 but didn’t arrive until 19:00… Won’t be ordering again ☹️

The food is always lovely but we have uses them twice and BOTH time have been 20 mins or more late with delivery

Gorgeous- freshly cooked, delivered promptly and on time - excellent quality and will definitely be ordering again

Piping hot food, delivery on time well done

The food was amazing. The chips were perfect and the batter on the sausages was crunchy. It was the first time we’ve been to a chippy where there were actual chunks of fish in the fishcake and the portion sizes were generous. They separated drinks from the hot food so they were kept cold and turned up early which was an added bonus. Will definitely be going back!

Ordered on line for collection , selected time slot , order was ready on time . Great quality food , hot and fresh and gluten free , meal enjoyed by all . Best fish and chips for years ……..

I’ll start with the good: the chips seem to have improved and are more like proper fish shop chips. Negative: had to wait 1hr 30 mins for delivery. The food was apparently “on the way” 40 mins before it was actually delivered. Driver got the wrong house. The gluten free nuggets have dramatically decreased in size and are definitely not worth £6.70. Genuinely disgusted at how much I paid for these pathetic nuggets. Food was cold by the time it turned up. I will collect next time to ensure we are not waiting so long.

First order from Coxs, might be last from anywhere else. Excellent food and excellent service.

Really good fish n chip shop. Our whole family can get something we like and the gluten free options are excellent.

Wow. What a food. I finished the whole thing, tasted great. Would eat again. Anyway, I'm approaching the character limit, better wrap this review up.

Fast delivery, food nice and hot

Food was on time and nice and hot. Had a nice flavour. The fish cod bites batter was a little bit soft as in where is steamed in the packet but always difficult with fish and chips they always tend to go a bit soft if getting delivery. Nice food though will be using again. Would recommend.

Waited 15mins for fresh cooked haddock at £10.50 got home and it was a sausage with chips. Twice now, they never look like they know what is going on. Bring back the old guy that set it up. Won’t see me anymore, traditional fish and chips is down the road and their fish is way better. chips are about the same

They are only open on certain days very inconvenient

Close before posted closing time?

Wow wow wow is all we can say. My wife hasn’t been able to have a fish and chips since 2019 when she was diagnosed as a celiac. And not only is it amazing tasting but one of the best fish and chips I have ever had. So fresh tasting. The batter is so crispy (how do you do it) Beautifully wrapped and presented. Catherine your amazing thank you so much. We will be back for sure very soon. We have to support brilliant businesses like this that just go that extra mile as we are being taken over by big chains that really don’t care about there customers it’s just all about churning it out as fast as possible with no real care. Thank you thank you thank you :-) can’t recommend enough.

Ordered a £50 order online around a week ago after having some brilliant meals in the past from this takeaway. Sadly on the day I was looking to show off a great British institution to visiting overseas relatives, this occasion was woefully bad and embarrassed me. One o f my guests had a Peanut Butter sandwich instead! Dry tail end of fish that had batter that was so stale and crunchy (in a bad way), that it must have been cooked WAY before my allocated collection time. It was sitting all bagged up on top of the fryer unit when I arrived. I emailed the owner on the day but sadly at the time of writing this review (over a week later), I have not even recieved a courtesy reply. This has seriously damaged the reputation of this place in my eyes.

We were having a family gathering and needed a gluten free delivery service peak time Friday evening. We phoned our enquiry on Thursday evening to see if we could be catered for and placed an order at 3pm Friday. The delivery at 6pm to Buckden was on time, even with road works and busy A1. The food was excellent, I actually thought the medium fish were for two and realised my mistake when I had so much left over😂 2nds all round! Curry sauce delist and everything well wrapped and still hot. Will be using your services again, thank you😉

Such a shame ! Used to be so good. Easily the best chips in st neots , just bang average at best. The high rating doesn't reflect the fish and chips now . this is my experience from the last 2 visits . I hope they can pull it back as was 5*

Very disappointing - the customer service was poor, the quality of the fish and chips was poor and I will not be returning ever again. Poor value for money - the batter was mostly soggy, I paid for a large haddock but no way was it large. They advertise a smaller size haddock but was told in a very dismissive manner they have never served anything other than a large haddock! The previous owners did and the price board says they do! The icing on the cake was that the chips were dry. It’s a shame, when Mick was there it was the best in the area by far, sadly now probably the worst.

After being a regular customer for a long time we had a few bad orders at the start of the year, in April items were missing, it was late, soggy batter, chewy chips and covered in grease so I emailed the contact on the order confirmation but noone replied, I wasnt even requesting anyone to bring the missing items or a refund, it was purely feedback. After this we stopped using them, until last night, we thought that maybe is was a bad period so we tried again. The order was 1 hour after our time slot given online, we understand these things happen but just to be informed it would be late or a simple apology when it was delivered would have sufficed, instead nothing. The cod was wrapped in grease soaked paper, I could have wrung it out. The cod batter was chewy and the chips were cold and hard and tasted like they were lunch time leftovers. I would have written to the email address but noone seems to reply unless feedback is public. It is such a shame, I used to rave and recommend this place to anyone but it is not the same, cost gone up quality gone down.

Favourable articles have appeared in the local media regarding this chippie and as we hadn't bought any fish and chips locally since before the first lock-down we decided to give this one a try. We hadn't visited them before. Service was very quick and portions were large. We dished up our dinners and sat down to eat them. Nothing wrong with the chips but the fish was a little dry. But then we come to the batter, which has to be the worst batter I have ever had. It was hard and the grease tasted strange. I couldn't stomach much of it so I removed the fish and just ate that. It also left a horrible aftertaste. During the night I awoke at 0115 with terrible indigestion and still had the aftertaste from the batter. I had to have some indigestion tablets and it took ages to get back to sleep. They always say not to rely on everything you read in the papers and that is very true in this case. We had high hopes until we started eating but our satisfaction soon ended. Won't be back.

Having read the reviews, I expected great food, but was sadly left disappointed. The cod was ok, but the chips were quite possibly the worst I’ve ever eaten- dried out and rubbery. I won’t be back, unfortunately..

Ordered large cod was served two pieces that not a problem but one was so greasy it totally soaked the papers it was wrapped in and the other piece was so hard and over cooked it was inedible. I was sure it had been rewarmed from the previous day. The chips were the same few were soft enough to eat and were barely warm. Not sure how you get chips so chewy unless cooked up again. Added to two battered sausages my meal cost £13.20 What a waste of money. Such a shame as food had always been good from here before. I called to complain and was told well what do you want me to do about it. Great customer service I don't think!!

The chips were dry and tasteless. The burger we had was dry and unappetising. The battered sausage was microscopic. And for what it was it was extremely expensive. Very disappointed.

Have had food from here before and it had always been great. Unfortunately things seem to have gone down hill.... The Quorn burger was dry, chewy and tasteless. The chips were far from what they used to be. On the whole the meal was dry, tasteless, and unappetising. And for what it cost, it definitely wasn't worth it. Very disappointing

So disappointing. Stopped here for a quick afternoon snack, 2 savaloys and 2 chips was £8.90, expensive and food was abysmal. Savaloy was dry and hard/burnt coating. Completely bland and flavourless and chips were so dry and hard and were white? Will never go here again! Avoid!!!

Update Today we decided to get cod and chips early at 4pm. Unfortunately we were really disappointed, the cod was supposed to be large, but was tiny and the chips had been cooked a long time and refried, they were hard and dry. ☹️ I left a review, but it has disappeared. 🤔 Excellent app which is very easy to use, friendly efficient service, fabulously clean shop and most importantly of all the food has been consistently delicious and not at all greasy. We have just moved to the area and after trying all the local fish and chip shops this one stands head and shoulders above the rest. This is now our regular chippy and has been delicious every time.

I am not sure why I keep preordering when the wait is as long as if I had just come into the shop.They need a better system!

Lovely service and chips are very tasty keep up the good work 👍 😀 😋 👏 👌 😊

Great service! Would 100% recommend. Very friendly staff. I ordered online and they called me within minutes to advise they have run out of part of our order (saveloy) and asked if we were happy with a replacement. When we picked up our ordered they also adding a little extra in for the inconvenience . Food was lovely and not greasy! Would certainly use again!

Best fish and chips in St Neots.

Really good service very cleand friendly staff food was nice and fresh the large fish was huge the wait for the food was a little long next time will order online and collect overall and nice meal

Food still good but service increasingly slow.

Thankyou so much for a lovely birthday meal delivered on time and piping hot. So lovely that we had the option of gluten free for some members of my family. The best chippy , recommended 100%❤

Visited 28/12/21. Waited 30 mins for one large piece of plaice. One poor guy had been waiting 45 mins for a pre order. Still there when I left. Was not worth the wait. Shame service is really slow. They sadly do not seem to get food out in a reasonable time frame. No lemon offered anymore, understand they have recently changed ownership. Picture showing large plaice after batter removed.

cod was cold. chips were cold. batter was damp and soggy, the service is a shambles. I don't know what has happened here, 6 months ago it was banging, best in St Neots!

Would have got a much higher rating had the chips been hot,but they weren't,they were almost cold. Very disappointed. The fish was nice and hot though thank god!!

Website and ordering is easy to use, food was delivered on time. Chips and cod were absolutely amazing! The curry sauce is out of this world and the mushy peas were epic. My only gripe… no option to order saveloy on the website! But; quality of meal and standard of service second to none and so wasn’t an issue! Thank you! We will be back xx

Nice fish and chips. I don't like they charge you for mayoneise and sauces, should be free

The best chippy. Award winning and everything. You can order online and pick up or get delivery over the weekend. Food is top notch!!

We ordered 5 portions of cod & chips and we were all very disappointed especially having read the previous reviews. Maybe just a bad day but we won’t bother again.

First time visit last night and the food was awesome, and my fist time in years having fish from a chippy visit. The slab of cod did not disappoint. Food was amazing,all cooked fresh and very friendly polite staff 👌 will be visiting again soon

We struggled to find a Fish & Chip shop in Cambridgeshire that was both vegan and good, but that’s exactly what Cox at the lighthouse achieves.

Lovely vegan batter. What a treat. Great ordering service too.

Delicious with good portions and great prices always happy and will be back for more!

Fish and chips second to none. Excellent!! cooked to order. The queues outside show how popular this shop is.

Lovely chips , great place to get your fish and chips on a Saturday night

Great gluten free selection and very high quality fish! Will definitely visit again
