Fast friendly service. Our food was really nice, not greasy at all. Good portion sizes and we felt the pricing was fair. Tasted delicious. Order below was the kids pack, 2 snapper and 1 scoop of chips.

Excellent fish and chips. The fish were really fresh and the batter was addictive. 10/10 a great spot for fish and chips if you’re in the area. Lovely crew running the place as well.

Quiet eatery with hardly any crowd but a good place to head for dinner after a long drive from rotorua and after going to Bluff Hill lookout. It is easily located with side parking (P$120). Fish of the day depends. I tried their Paua Fritter, not bad but its quite big. For 2 pax, maybe can get a fish and this will be just fine for sharing, else too filling.

Excellent fish and chips, best I have had for ages. Visited over the weekend for a meal. Even received an extra piece of fish free of charge. Great location and friendly staff. Fresh fish fillets available for purchase from the counter.
