Newhaven Takeaways

7a Chapel Street , Newhaven, Sussex, BN9 9PN

A genuine Newhaven institution, Horace's Fish Bar has been frying for the town since 1965, and that long innings shows in the easy confidence behind the counter. Tucked into the heart of the old town, a short stroll from the harbour and the ferry terminal, it draws a steady stream of locals after proper chippy comfort food. Alongside the classic battered fish and hand-cut chips you will find kebabs, burgers and all the usual saveloys and pies, served hot, fast and without fuss.

Regulars rate the cooking highly, with the shop holding a 4.3/5 score from more than 230 Restaurant Guru reviews and plenty of praise for fish that arrives crisp rather than greasy. A Haddock Supper is the order to beat, generously sized and fried fresh to order, though the cod and the battered sausage have their own loyal followings. Friendly owners and quick service make it an easy choice whether you are eating on a harbour bench or carrying supper home for the family.

L'Isola Buona is a warm little Sardinian deli and cafe tucked away near Newhaven's harbour, a genuine taste of Italy run with real passion for the food of the owners' home island. Part shop, part eatery, it stocks imported cheeses, cured meats, olives and pantry treats, and turns them into authentic panini, fresh pasta plates and pizza to eat in or take away. The mood is friendly and unhurried, more village trattoria than fast-food counter.

It is one of the highest-rated food spots in the town, holding a glowing 4.7/5 from Google reviewers who praise the authentic ingredients, proper espresso and warm Italian welcome. Regulars come in for a Margherita Pizza or a plate of handmade pasta, then leave with a bag of Sardinian deli goods for later. If you want something a cut above the usual takeaway near the seafront, this independent little gem delivers real Mediterranean character.

Magic Wok is a long-running Chinese takeaway serving the centre of Newhaven, a handy collect-and-go spot for anyone craving a freshly cooked stir-fry without the trip into Brighton. The kitchen turns out the full sweep of British-Chinese favourites, from sizzling chow mein and crispy aromatic duck to curry sauce, fried rice and salt-and-pepper dishes, with plenty of vegetable options for those skipping meat. It is a no-frills, counter-service operation built around speed and value rather than table service.

Opinions among regulars are mixed, with a 3.1/5 average across local review sites, but supporters return for generous portions and reliable weeknight comfort food. The takeaway holds a current Food Hygiene Rating and keeps the standard set-meal deals that make it an easy family order. If you want a quick Cantonese-style supper close to the town's shops and seafront, it remains one of the more convenient choices in the area.

Super Fry Fish & Chips is a busy neighbourhood chippy on the residential western edge of Newhaven, the kind of cash-only local that regulars quietly guard as their own. It has built its name on properly fried fish and big helpings of chips, cooked fresh to order rather than left sitting under a lamp. Expect the full traditional line-up of fish, sausages, pies and battered bits, all wrapped up and ready to carry home or eat on the move.

Reviewers give it a solid 3.9/5 on Tripadvisor, with repeat customers singling out a Haddock and Chips that is fresh, generous and never greasy, plus staff who stay cheerful even when the queue builds. It is a no-nonsense takeaway rather than a sit-down restaurant, so the focus stays firmly on the frying. If you are after a dependable chippy tea away from the bustle of the town centre, this long-standing favourite is well worth seeking out.
