Excellent. Fantastic service and great prices. Even better they offer 5% discount for cash payment. Chips and fish cooked perfectly, crispy and crunchy and not oily at all. Burger with the lot and 600ml drink for $15.90 is a great deal. Will be back when next in the area. Thanks Guys keep up the good work!

Was craving a good old fish and chip shop burger with the lot and thats exactly what I got. They have a few tables and chairs for those who wish to dine in or wait for their order. Staff are nice and friendly. I hid at a nearby park and devoured my burger! My gut is happy!

Our local chippy under new management. A young, enthusiastic new team offering the same favourite fish, chips, burgers and more. Great to see, great to be able to be able to look forward to our regular batter fix knowing that they will be open as advertised! Wishing these guys all the best. Having moved all the way from Newcastle NSW to revitalize this old local fave they deserve your support.

Very good fish and chips. The Flake was super fresh, but the Whiting not do much. Home made potato cakes were excellent Decent chips as well. Haven't tried the Burgers or other menu items yet.

Good fish and chips. Fast service. 5% discount with cash payment. It is a takeaway place, so don't expect a fine dining experience. I'd recommend Lunch Box 2 (fish, chips & salad) for "healthier" option.
