Great British Chippy - CURRAMBINE

Fantastic Cod and chips, Cod size hangs off the plate and the batter is crispy and not oily. great service and you even get a cup of Tea?

After salivating at the thought of scampi and chips we set about the drive to Currumbine to visit this place.I was a bit stunned at the price - $35 for scampi & chips, cod roe & chips, a curry sauce and two waters. As you will see from the photos presentation is not their strong point, then again nor is cooking.What we receivers was reconstituted over cooked scampi that was drier that I care to say, served with utterly tasteless chips. The cod roe was a small roe cake that was burnt on the underside and just awful.This truly was a terrible meal. I don't know what is worse the disappointment or the knowledge that I paid $35 for that anomination.On the plus side, there is a dome near by so you can get a coffee to wash away the taste.

We visit for take out on a near weekly basis. Love everything on the menu. The staff are so friendly and helpful. On my way there now for this weeks fix of the best curry sauce in town!

.... and this was nothing like a British Chippy. I ordered Haddock & Chips. The fish itself was very good, a fair-sized portion, but the batter is nothing like British batter. It's very thin and soft compared with the puffy, crispy batter you get in the UK. Also the chips had lots of the potato 'eyes' left in them, black parts of the potato which we were unable to eat, also lots of the chips were small, hard, bits of potato which were not at all pleasant to eat. So I would say, the food was OK, I've awarded 3 stars simply because the haddock itself was nice. The food was OK, but if you're looking for a genuine 'Great British Chippy' this place will probably leave yo disappointed.

After my first visit I thought they were tasty and half decent, at least the chips weren't frozen. The second visit - Oh my! Chips were scatty bits of potatoes, fish was so thin it had little taste, very poor and disappointing, so still searching for a decent Fishy over here
