About
Big Bertha’s Takeaway is a well-regarded fish and chip shop in Beresfield, serving the local community with dine-in, takeaway, and delivery options. The shop has built a solid reputation across the Hunter region, with regulars pointing to the chips as a particular highlight. Cooked fresh from real potato, they come out thick, crunchy, and generously seasoned, the kind you don’t find at chain fast food spots.
The batter is another talking point, with the shop known for getting it right consistently. The whole operation leans into that old-school fish and chips experience, unpretentious and focused on doing the basics very well. Service is noted as friendly, and the premises are kept to a noticeably high standard of cleanliness.
The shop has relocated to a nearby address within Beresfield, and under current ownership the food quality and overall experience have improved markedly. Free street parking and a dedicated car park make it easy to call in, and the shop accepts card, contactless, and NFC payments. Waits can stretch a little during busy periods, so phoning ahead for larger orders is a smart move.
For anyone after fish and chips near Beresfield or the broader Newcastle area, Big Bertha’s is worth putting on the list. Check opening hours and menu details below.

Great value in chips. And actual potato made chips, delicious.
Update…. changed address to around the corner from original spot. Chips still good and pretty cheap for other foods.
Abit long wait. But i expected this as people are trying it in the new place. Will die down im assuming once the novelty wears off.
New shop in a great spot, very clean, tasty and staff lovely still😊😊😊
Well I give this place five stars because in my opinion you cannot find a better old school fish and chips shop anywhere in this part of the world. Their food is always cooked spot on the chip’s you won’t find better. It’s their batter which stands out, crunchy full of flavour and cooked in fresh oil always.Hamburgers as good as any and as for the whole menu everything you would expect from a fish and chip shop all prepared by hand and battered old school no frozen plastic food here.*****❤️
Very tasty thick crunshy chips, also have a lot more salt than maccas and hungry jacks. Nice staff and great food.
I’m on the hunt for the best scallops in Newie. These were ok, but So far adamstown is the best. Very clean shop, quick service, calamari was nice n tender, seafood sticks crisp n yummy.

90 dollar order via menulog. Cold on arrival (except for the gravy which was still very hot). Chips greasy, soggy and inedible, scallops greasy soggy and inedible. Pluto pups indescribable. A complete waste of money as there was literally no part of our order we could actually stomach. 1 star as will not allow a zero star posting.
Cleanest spot in Newcastle and surrounding suburbs. Totally unexpected.
Really stood out considering the local housing situation.
Great local takeaway, the hand cut chips are always a great deal, and the staff are awesome
