About

The shop is wheelchair accessible at the entrance and car park, and dogs are welcome outside, so it suits a range of visitors.
The menu covers plenty of ground. Battered fish is a clear highlight, with regulars noting crispy, well-seasoned batter and moist, juicy flesh underneath. Chips come fried to a satisfying crunch and go beautifully with chicken salt. Grilled fish and burgers with the lot are also popular, and the barramundi draws repeat visits from those who’ve tried it. Potato cakes get a mention too, cooked to a pleasing finish. For those skipping the seafood, the shop offers vegetarian options including a veggie burger that has surprised and won over more than a few plant-based visitors.

A lovely local fish and chips store in Somerville. Order a lunch pack which was incredible value. Nice and crispy batter on the fish, and well seasoned. The chips are incredible – fried to perfection. Great deals on the family packs if you’re looking to share with a larger group of friends/family. The staff were super friendly and have great customer service. Highly recommend!
Must be new owners.
There is no need to put hot spices on a cheeseburger.
Not sure what the patty was made out of but was small, disgusting & spicy.
Potato cake tasty like raw potato.
Actually the worst fish n chips I’ve had.

Amazing job guys! My go to fish and chips especially after the new management, you guys have really fixed the place up from the last people! Keep up the good work!
Bought fish and chips and a souvlaki. The flavours and presentation could definitely be improved. There was a long wait, and the portion sizes felt inconsistent — it seemed like after we ordered and more orders came in, the chips and meat may have been split across multiple orders, leaving ours short. At the very least, the souvlaki should have been wrapped properly. Overall, pretty disappointing and could have been handled much better.
