The Lighthouse Fish & Chips in Hastings

Best chippy in town by a long way. Superb portion sizes and great staff. Price is comparable to others, but these are always fresh and delicious with a huge range of items

Came here based on google maps and it’s closed on Wednesday. They should update their google maps page. Wasted my time for nothing

First and foremost absolutely amazing service, the staff couldn't have been more helpful or kind. The food was delicious, had a couple of different fish, a chicken burger, chips, and a handful of sides and it was all amazing, and at a price you can't complain about. Can't recommend it enough.

Excellent!! Food was amazing, best pea fritter I've ever had. Haddock was delicious, portion sizes are great. Lovely people, really good service. Cash only!!

Very tasty food. Lovely light batter and wonderfully tasty chips. Would recommend to everyone

My husband got a takeaway last night he placed his order was disappointed when he got him to find that the chicken fillet burger was missing which was for me and was charged for but all I had was chips which were very nice

Was recommended and did not disappoint, big portions and nice chunky fish to order, local specials. You can tell they care about what they sell, will be back next time we're in Hastings.

Best chips I have ever eaten. The wife and I are vegan so like don't like places that cook the fish in with the chips. But here they are cooked separately. Owner was super friendly and very proud of the quality of his product and shop. And deservedly so. Best chips ever.

Best fish chip shop! Staff are friendly and helpful. Food is cooked fresh, quality ingredients and lovely fish. We’ll use it again when we come back to Hastings.

The best & most tasty chips ever ever had 👌. Their 4.8 rating should be 5 star 👍. If they ask you where you think the beautiful landscape photo on the wall is from - impress them by saying it's the Isle of Skye!

The best fish and chips in Hastings love it 👍

I like this place. The staff seem to like people so they actually seem pleased to serve customers. The food is amongst the the best I think I have ever had from a chip shop. The portion sizes were good. The food was cooked with obvious pride. The fish was awesome. I definitely recommend to anyone visiting Hastings. Also, if you are at Shear Barn park this is not only your nearest fish and chip shop but also an excellent one. Enjoy!

Best Fish & Chips in Hastings, great food, good chat and value for money

Tasty food and for sure best chips in town. !

Tasty food and for sure best chips in town. !

Very chilled out and friendly plaice. The fish was delicious, batter was crispy and fish was melt in the mouth. Good portion sizes and plenty of salt and vinegar. Would definitely pay a visit again.

Just had two portions of cod and chips , superb food, lovely white fish, great chips, good service by friendly staff ,and a good atmosphere.

Best fish n chips not only in Hastings but the only place I’d go now for a treat. Chips are homegrown and so tasty. Fish is crispy and freshly caught. I’m lucky to have this round the corner!

They're the best fish and chip shop in the town and the banter amongst the staff and between the owner and the public is worth an admission fee. John also has a Christmas tree farm and they're also pure quality. Both businesses are cash only which I love. Let's support our small local businesses and help them thrive, keep it local, keep it cash.

Best Fish and Chip Shop ever. Warm welcome as soon as we went in, very clean inside, food was excellent so would highly recommend. Well worth a visit and we will definitely be back!

Excellent Food and Friendly Service

I recently visited the local fish and chips shop, and the experience was delightful. The fish was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The chips were golden and seasoned just right. The portion size was generous, and the prices were reasonable. The staff was friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Overall, a satisfying meal with quality and taste that exceeded expectations.

Consistently the best in Hastings and beyond

The best fish and chip shop in Hastings

What can I say apart from the best chippy ever. Everytime we have chippy tea we come to you. Tonight my partners fish was the size of a whale fabulous for the the price, i had spam fritter AMAZING and my daughter had fish cake she said 10 out of 10. Whatever you do to your chips keep doing they are the nicest we've ever eaten. The man who served us was friendly and welcoming will always return.

The absolute best chippy in Hastings by far....

Best fish and chips iv had in a long time will definitely be going back

Came here on the recommendation of long-time Hastings resident with high expectations, and still came away impressed. Wanted fish and chips, but noticed there's also a good selection of burgers here. Dishes are sold as "medium, large, and extra-large" sizes, and those are accurate descriptions. Prices are very reasonable. Carla and John were working the counter, greeting what seemed to be lots of regulars ordering in the shop or picking up phone orders. I asked him about the "battered burger," and wasn't quite sure if it sounded delicious or just weird. Turns out to be a bit like the American diner dish "chicken fried steak" minus the white sauce. Fabulous! So all the items we got were wonderful. The fish were all perfectly cooked, with nothing greasy about them. Same with the potatoes - among the best chips ever. My only suggestion for improvement involves opening a branch in coastal Southern California.

Lovely family run business Fresh food Open every day except Sunday

Very polite and friendly service. Fish and chips Very tasty would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Highly recommended the best in Hastings,took the time to help my partner who has ms with her dietary requirements, food is excellent,great customer service, reasonable priced 5 stars would give more if I was able to

5pm on a Friday night so was very busy as expected . Didn't expect the large cod to be mainly batter . It was far too small. Generous portion of lovely chips . Sausage in batter was OK. Not going to lie , was so disappointed with the size of the piece of fish . Its expensive to buy these days . It was definitely a small . In fact it was like a pensioners portion . Edited review as there's not an option to reply to the chip shops comment.. I don't need to come to talk to you. I was merely saying our large fish was very small . I did say the chips were lovely and sausage ok . What's there to talk about ? You was very busy . No doubt it doesn't happen often . However on this occasion the fish was very very small .

Absolutely fantastic, best fish and chips I've ever had. Really friendly owners. Had cod and fish cake so tasty. Brilliant chips and super tasty curry sauce

Always a warm welcome and lovely fish, cooked to order. Highly recommended.

A great Fish and chip shop. Be warned though it is takeaway only ( not sit down) and the fish and chips are cooked to order. John the proprietor knows what he is doing and the fish is superb quality and cooked to perfection. All in all a great fish and chips that deserves great success.

Still has to be the best chippy in hastings

Lovely food great price and very friendly service. Fed 9 of us big portions, freshly cooked delicious!!

Easiest 5 stars I've ever given. Friendly service and the fish is some of the best I've experienced from a takeaway. Now would never go anywhere else for fish and chips. Keep up the good work guys

This is the best fish n chip shop by far, the food is amazing, especially the chips I don’t eat meat/fish anymore and was so pleased I could still come enjoy a full meat at my favourite fish n chip shop as they do veggie battered sausage, plus other veggie options ! Staff are always friendly even when busy

Lovely fish no skin which for me is perfect. Loads of really delicious chips .

We live 10 mins away from this chipie but this was the first time we’d tried it as we usually go down to the seafront. We only had chips but they were perfect but what we loved most was the friendliness of the staff. We didn’t have cash so they let us come back the next day to pay. Also found out they do gluten free and it’s properly cooked separately. Ticks all the boxes. We need to support our fish and chips shops as they are struggling with the cost of electric and gas not to mention food prices. Lots have closed already (though not in Hastings so far).

By far the best fish and chip shop..... Ever

Best Fish and Chips I've had for a long time. Definitely worth a try!

Really friendly and very reasonably priced

Passing through, whilst visiting nearby, we stopped by to pick up Battered cod, chips with added banter for a trip to the seafront. Recommended. Thanks

My first real Fish&Chips and I loved it. Very friendly owners and the food was just great. If you come to Hastings make sure you get your Fish&Chips here. Greetings from the Netherlands

Very good chippy best in area. I travel from other end of town it's so much better than most near me.

Probably on of the best in town and definitely Ore village. Never been disappointed

Delicious fish & chips from very friendly people! Thank you!

Really lovely fish and chips - perfectly fried in light crispy batter. They kindly stayed open for us when we arrived right before closing, and fried our fish to order which I wasn’t expecting and made it extra delicious! Such a great and very friendly staff, will definitely visit again next Time we are in town

It’s always hit and miss finding a decent chippy near the coast, we found this one as it was on our way back to our caravan site and had good reviews. Food was freshly cooked so had to wait 10 minutes but that’s a good thing, delicious chips and fish. Only gripe I had was parking was a bit difficult as it’s a busy road, but most of the other customers parked on double yellows outside and appeared to be normal for locals to do this. Very tasty food and polite friendly staff. 👍🏼

Good place for food , worth a visit. Atmosphere was Great .

Forgot part of the order rung up to be told they didn’t charge us when they did! Very rude and disrespectful! Very disappointed

The best fish and chips in Hastings, great staff and service

That's Best fish & chips I've had for a long time...💯👌🏻

What can I say, but probably the best chippy in the whole of Hastings, food is fantastic, service is great, people are super friendly, be warned cash only, but guys in the shop next door are super helpful too.

Well cooked and hot food, fair price. friendly staff.

Absolutely the Best . Locally caught Fish cooked as you wait . Quality products at a reasonable price . Watched the Fireworks as I ate my meal . Superb .

First time last night excellent whiteskined place and chips polite staff. 😋 Hopefully return asap. Kind regards H

Lovely food. Staff helpful and friendly.

Super friendly people who serve some of the best fish & chips ever. It was definitely worth the drive to get there, and good value aswell. Would highly recommend anybody in the Hastings area to go and pay them a visit! Thank you team for an awesome Fish Super.

Great portion sizes, good quality fish, tasty chips and friendly service! we were a group of friends visiting from London, the staff and owner recognised we weren’t from the area and were very friendly, and gave good advice about the local area!

Yeah was wearing my bikini top and the whole chippy came out to see. Great fish tho, 10/10

Came from S.London. Read the reviews and tried it out. Wasn't disappointed at all. Good price's loads of choice the staff were friendly and chatty and the food was perfect. Battered sausage and chips were lovely. Great portion sizes too. Would defo go back again one day.

Lovely fresh fish and good chips. Very nice

The best fish and chips in Hastings

Friendly banter and excellent fish and chips. What more could we ask for?

Chips was hard, fish was very greasy, curry sauce was like water. Cost was £35.35 for 3 lrg cod, 1 lrg chips, 1 sausage, 1 battered sausage, 2 curry sauces and a portion of onion rings. What a rip off!! This used to be by far the best chippy in hastings don't know whats happened but I wouldn't recommend to anyone.

Great service, best chip shop in town by far.

Great fish and chips best around

Lovely staff and beautiful fish

Always reliable, great tasty fresh cod and beautifully cooked chips.

Always lovely fish and chips and huge amount

Best Fish and Chips in Town. Parking and cash only payments are the only real problems.

Jumbo cod fills the plate nicely, chips not bad either.

Really enjoyed our food from here the chips were excellent shall be back

some of the best fish & chips I've had 😁 and great staff and good prices 👌 👍

Great chip shop keep up the good work you do

Just had gorgeous fish and chips and calamari from Lighthouse. Would definitely recommend. Good service, really tasty and not greasy. Will be coming back here when I'm next in town.

Lovely Food, people and shop. Great prices so what more could you ask for? Always stop by when I’m visiting family in the area. Would recommend!

The ultimate fish/sausage and chip shop in Hastings. I’ve tried quite a few but nothing tops The Lighthouse. 10/10

Good food great staff and the banter was brilliant. Keep up tje good work guys.

Lovely place for food. Excellent staff and customer service. I was waiting outside as the shop was pretty packed but I was still noticed and served. Excellent food!! Highly recommend.

Good chips, way over salted though!

This place serves the freshest fish you'll find anywhere;- in fact my wife refuses to eat takeaway fish from any other source, because it just doesn't compare. All the ingredients are fresh every day, including the oil;- you never get that old oil smell or taste in this establishment. Portions are generous & keenly priced too, with a wide variety available on the menu. Do yourself a favour & get your fish & chips here, your taste buds will thank you!

Thank you Lighthouse. Excellent meal as always, especially today's Huss - enough for 2 days for me. You kindly cook fish without batter for my husband who is a Coeliac. Not many places do that. Your astonishing memory man is amazing. I just don't know how he does it at such speed with so many customers' orders. You all work so hard.

We used to get fish and chips here all the time But went in tonight and totally wasted £16 on the worst fish I have ever eaten or attempted to eat !! Grey and yellow inside Obviously not fresh. And the batter was really greasy and tasted wrong .The chips were OK Good reviews I saw previously Maybe fresh is for regulars

Prompt friendly service, Ordered in advance. Best fish and chips ANYWHERE! 👍😸🖖

Amazing food and amazing staff.x👍👏

Just refurbished. Extremely clean. Great friendly staff with well cooked generous portions. Best fish and chips in town in our opinion. Can call ahead and order as always busy. Can be difficult to park as near busy junction and multiple traffic lights but worth parking up further and walking back. Does not take card so will need cash. Has working relationship with general store next to it for cashback. Again friendly helpful staff. Highly recommend.

A lovely clean chippie with polite and friendly staff. The fish was tasty and I highly recommend. Thank you Lighthouse.

Fish & Chips of a highest standard! I had a huss fish recommended by the staff and it was incredible. Light, crispy and most of all very fresh! Hats off! Will be back for sure when visiting Hastings. Thanks for great food and service!

Friendly. Great service and tasty food.

Great fish and chips from a friendly chippie, portions were extremely generous too.
