What customers say?

“ Tried the Korean Chicken Nibbles with sweet chilli sauce. Nice and crispy, chicken was juicy and the chilli sauce had just the right amount of heat. But next time I'll be trying the spicier sauce. I'd definitely recommend. ”

“ 27-6-25 Had some chips purchased by friends. Pale soggy chips.chips should be cooked to a crispy consistency and have some colour to them. This shop has to start using timers for cooking chips consistantly. 6-9-24 had fish n chips as part of a large order - some 20 or so meals. It was awful- chips were soggy and very gluggy fish was dry and like eating cardboard. They need to use a timer when cooking fish so they get consistency. They are so hit and miss when their busy. 6-7-24 update chips are back to normal - v- nice. Best to order when they are quiet as they take more care and cook everything very nice. 27-3-24 - just spoke to the owners. They had to buy their chips from Spain because the were none in NZ due to the Cyclone damaged crops. She asked that I try their chips again next time. I asked if I would get discounted chips for all the times I threw their Spanish ones in the bin. You guest it-- she said no. I'll keep you posted when I buy some next time. --- --------- 22-12 2023. Just had fish & chips. Fish beautiful but they must be getting their potatoes from a new supplier. Chips just bland and unpleasant to eat. This is the 3rd time we have binned the chips. Wont buy their chips any more unless we hear they have improved. We have eaten here for 10 years and it can be a little hit and miss. Consistancy in product and flavour is what makes a great Chippy. ”

“ Considered our local fish and chips shop. Nice friendly staff, good priced food. Our go to is crumbed fish, chips. Some family members have hot dog, or crab stick. Place is very busy on a Friday, not so much other days. ”

- Stephen Kemp -

“ I go for the burgers here. The fish burger gets a huge piece of battered fish and the hamburger tasted great. You pay a lot more for the same or even less these days at a restaurant or even a burger joint. This is a better option to me! ”

- Stephen Adams -

“ Had really nice takeaways from here. Not greasy, not too thick of a batter and made really quick. Tasted good… The only advice I’ll give is to order on phone or in person, not online as we noticed the prices were much higher on their website. Fortunately we ordered in shop but had checked out menu online first. ”
