Sorry, missing pictures. Quality/Quantity - Definitely a hit in this area, always busy. One of the first fish & chips businesses that you see when walking into town. Good setup for fast casual, almost fast food. Simple menu done well. Chicken and vegan options are also available. Atmosphere - Small local restaurant that you can either eat in or buy as take out. Busy popular location. Again, one of the first fish & chips businesses as you walk into town. Not sure if it is done for marketing, but I think having so many customers wait outside for their order attracts more customers. :) Service - Good, fast, friendly. Price - See menu, reasonably priced. Owner Suggestion - Congrats on your success since 2002. Congrats also on being awarded the most sustainable fish & chip shop in all of England (2023). read more

This place looks like it is a takeout at first glance but has a lot of seating inside. We were seated by the window with a nice view of the harbor. We had the "small cod". It came with French fries. I liked the coating on the fish which was crisp and tasted good. The fish was good as well. I also ordered a side of coke slaw that was a bit too creamy for my taste but otherwise ok. Service was leisurely but fine. I would eat there again. read more

First off great service but other than that, I was disappointed. This bright restaurant looks like a kids party room with balloon decor on the walls and plastic tables. The batter was greasy, the pickled onions tough and the chips ok. I've had better fish and chips elsewhere and was really looking forward to eating them in Cornwall as they are supposed to be the best. read more

Large fish and chip shop on high street. Fish was fresh & chips dry. Asked for salt and vinegar which I could hardly taste. £1.30 for can of water I thought was a bit much. Tasted like Peckham spring water. read more

The staff were incredibly friendly and the fish was out of the world. The best we had on our trip

Harbour Lights was recommended by the Guardian in its budget places for South Cornwall. After a nice little hike over in St. Ives, we made our way to Falmouth, and down to Harbour Lights. We arrived around 2pm, and got a table by the windows that overlook the quay and harbor. Looking at the menu, they have a great selection of fish, and they've won awards for sustainability. I got the Cornish Haddock, with 50/50 salad and chips. Jimmy got the cod. I thoroughly enjoyed my fish. The batter was quite light and crispy, easily some of the best flour batter I've enjoyed on fish. The chips were clearly cut from fresh potatoes in house, with that certain mouth feel that you get from fresh potatoes. The salad was crisp and fresh, adding greenery crunch to the rest of the plate. There's a take away counter in the front with a separate line. The restaurant itself is bright and airy, with white walls, black and white photos of the family's children, and a wall of windows. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area. read more

For a fish n chip restaurant i was dissapointed in the chip ends which swamped my plate. Due to this I feel i didn't recieve a good enough meal for the rather expensive price tag. Also I ordered a Latte to drink which promptly arrived in a glass mug and a spoon to stir the sugar which was far too short for me to use causing me to have to burn my fingers or use a knife to stir. Long spoons required please. Good service and friendly staff. read more

O.K. There are fish and chippy's all over, and then there are those rare few that really transcend the ordinary, without pretending to be anything else. This is one of those. Family run, immaculately clean, including the windows, that look over the good view of the harbor. Generous portions of sustainably caught fish well prepared. Service very friendly and attentive. Decent beer and cider to wash down the fish. They strive for quality and succeed. Highly recommendable. read more

Really nice fish and chips, but the location isn't the best as the cues (which are usually very long) take up the whole street pavement, so there's always people barging past, but other than that I have no complaints. The staff are lovely read more

Without a doubt the best Chippie in Falmouth Town and the surrounding area. Brilliant chips, a regular haunt when fancying an easy meal with great taste. Cheesy chips and the Vege Burger come highly recommend from me! read more

Delicious battered fish. Had 4 different types of fish on offer. Chips were a bit greasy and not crispy. Overall good, but slightly expensive. read more

Wow this is the best fish and chips I've had in England! Fresh and light. Lots of great sides, even gherkins. Everyone seems to love the hot smashed peas. Desserts and beer are top notch and service is very attentive. The people at the next table had come here on holiday from Australia and brought a business card from friends to be sure to come here. Harbor view too! read more

I have been here with my Social group great food and the atmosphere is always packed with lots of people. The food always come on time.

Traditional fish and chip shop on the quay at the end of the town, has been in business for ages and is a bit of an institution. It's open all day for takeaway and has a large restaurant in the back with offers on soft drinks for sitting in. It's not the best Fish and Chips you can get in Falmouth but its certainly your best choice when your in the town itself, you can always get a small portion of chips then go into onto the quay (they serve them in faux newspaper wrappings), just watch out for the seagulls! read more

I would have to disagree; they are the best Fish and Chips in Falmouth. Far superior to the well known newcomer from Padstow and cheaper as well. When you order Cod and Chips here it's what you get, not some mankey old bit of white fish. Just don't be tempted to go to their Truro branch, they are PANTS! read more

Great cod and chips bit of a wait but well worth it. Big portion and nice crispy batter.

Harbour Lights has been my favourite fish and chip shop since I studied in Falmouth as a teenager. Now, approaching 30, it's still wetting my appetite with new and improved menu options. Friendly staff, with one of my favourite pubs nearby. Definitely worth a visit. read more
