If you are looking for the best fish and chips with friendly price for your relaxing Friday night. This shop would be your perfect choice for a perfect battered fish or other menu on your choice.
Please call to order what you would like to eat before rushing to the shop. It’s quicker if you order on the phone.
Although the fish was cheap and the service was fast and good, my overall experience with this food was subpar. off the bat i was already recommended to not get chips from this shop and instead get chips from nextdoor. regardless of how bad they actually were it was enough difference for me to be recommended to get chips somewhere else. The flake itself was nothing out of the ordinary though did not come with any lemon with also was disappointing. Overall, there are definitely better shops in ballarat to get fish and chips from and would definitely recommend going somewhere else instead. 3/10
Been going here since I moved to Ballarat 3 years ago and never had any issues with the service or food.
Love the grilled butterfish.
Souvlakis full of dry chicken with half a tub of garlic sauce, 2 tiny bits of lettuce and half a sliced tomato, $26 for absolute garbage. Never again.
Tried for the first time today as the shop we previously used had gone downhill. I wish we had of found them earlier. Chips were perfect. Burger is big but juicey and full of flavour. We definitely will be back
Haven’t had f&c for years. Very nice not only, fresh and the couples pack was more than enough for us. Good value
