Over 50 Years on Jubilee Avenue
The Light Chinese Takeaway has been a cornerstone of the Paulsgrove community for more than half a century. Located at 37 Jubilee Avenue in Portsmouth PO6 4QN, The Light has served generations of local families with authentic Chinese food made fresh to order.
While ownership has changed hands several times over the decades, the commitment to quality, generous portions and genuine Chinese cooking has remained constant. Each owner has brought their own touch while respecting the traditions that made The Light a Paulsgrove institution.
What Makes The Light Different
Unlike chain restaurants or delivery platforms, The Light is a local business that knows its community. Regular customers are recognised, favourite orders are remembered, and the food is prepared with the care that comes from serving your neighbours — not anonymous strangers through an app.
Every dish is cooked to order using fresh ingredients. Nothing sits under a heat lamp. Whether you're ordering our famous Sweet and Sour Chicken Balls, the Salt and Pepper Chips that keep customers coming back, or the Shredded Chilli Beef that spice lovers swear by, your food is made just for you.

The Light delivers within a 3-mile radius of Jubilee Avenue, covering Paulsgrove, Cosham, Portchester, Wymering, Hilsea, Drayton, Port Solent and surrounding areas. For over 50 years, The Light has been the Chinese takeaway that Paulsgrove comes home to.
