I wouldn't recommend this service because the chips had absolutely no taste, the dim sims were way overcooked, the fish was dry, the potato cakes were very thick and under cooked, the scallops that I paid $2.60 for were the size of a 20 cent coin, the price on their menu came to $29.80 and they charged us $34.76 cents. My partner ordered a steak sandwich, the bread was basically raw, not toasted at all and the filling was minimal. On top of that they charges surcharge for using EFTPOS (seriously, with COVID around, I thought it best to use a card being safer). IF YOU WANT MY ADVICE, PLEASE DO NOT COME HERE FOR FISH AND CHIPS, absolutely disgusting.

Very average quality fish and chips. The chips are not crunchy and all is a bit lack lustre. It definitely didn't hit the spot and I wished we ate from elsewhere.

Approximate cost: $12

Their chips are just disgusting.

The first thing you'll be greeted with as you approach the shop is the smell. Not a nice smell, but an awful, stomach-turning stench.

When cooked, their chips stay clumped together, which means they don't soak the peeled potatoes in water to wash off all the starch. It's obvious that they cut their own chips, and while I appreciate the effort to use fresh potatoes instead of frozen, the chips are poorly cut and you'll find several big slices of potatoes because they couldn't be bothered to cut all the way through and so they're undercooked.

The chips end up being a big soggy and greasy clump. Yuck. And that smell you were greeted with as you approached the shop, well you'll be stuck with that smell for the rest of the day if you dare eat any of the chips. I think they need to change their oil more regularly and turn up the temperature of their fryers too so the chips cook in the oil instead of just soaking in it.

The service could have been better too. The guy who served me was day dreaming and undercharged me.

Strangely, the shop has been recommended to me by a few locals as being the best Fish and Chip Shop in town, which I just find completely bizarre. I haven't tried their fish, so maybe it's their fish others like, or maybe they just know the owners and are trying to send them some business.

For what it's worth, in my opinion they are far and away the worst chips in town, and quite possibly the worst I've ever had.

Definitely not the best chip shop in town! Check out George's or Jimmy's!
