The chips were crunchy and the fish was scrumptious. 10/10. I’d come here everyday!! Edit 2/1/25: Came back again and the chips were even better, very crunchy and fresh. Calamari was well cooked and the potato cakes were soft inside unlike other shops. Every time I return to this shop the food is still just as good as the first time I came, cooked crunchy and hot to eat. The workers are always super friendly.

Nice place, good fish n chips. Chips were not greasy and fish batter crispy just how I like it. I tried Barramundi for the first time. Thought is was a decent size but that kinda fish is not for me, however I did eat it all. Will try something else next time.

Came here to get takeaway fish and chips. Affordable prices, low staff count though it may not always be like this. I recommend this fish and chips shop.
