   The business has changed hands recently. Usual standard and in a period of rebuild. Now called Thorndon Twin Fish. Ask for Eric the new owner. Harvey is 2IC. Thanks for your attention. Phone number is the same. New website in production. !! Local fish and chips with care. Fresh & Tasty. Easy. Tap beer is excellent. Great service. Plenty of choice. Burger is excellent.

   So I ordered a Fish burger from here as that was one of the only things on the menu which was halal, if memory serves me well, I was going to order the fish and chips but that was not halal due to being beer battered, I really hope more establishment can be more transparent about using beer batter, ok on a positive note I liked my fish burger it was good and I love chunky chips that's proper British chips lol, and my mate ordered grilled fish with chips, both of our meals were nice.

   Fantastic gluten free options available- suitable for a coeliac. They have a separate fryer for gluten free, can do GF batter for fish, and crumb for the southern fried chicken burger, GF chips, GF burger buns, and GF sauce. Highly recommend.

   Phenomenal fish and curly fries, excellent portion, delicious and fresh! Highly recommend this unassuming little shop, with good music and beer on tap.

   WORST FISH N CHIPS I’VE EVER HAD Got 2 battered blue cod and 1 scoop hand cut chips. $40 worst value for money I have ever spent on food. Waste of money, the fish ($17.50 per piece) was small and absolutely tasteless and watery (obviously frozen) so obviously wasn’t fresh. ( Not convinced it was even Blue Cod) In fact the fish was so repulsive I couldn’t finish it. So disappointing. Chips were too big , undercooked and wasn’t like eating chips at all , more like way undercooked roast spuds, NOT worth $6 a scoop by any stretch of the imagination. **********WOULDN’T RECOMMEND **********

   Friendly staff, tasty food, pricey for fish & chips There are something like 30 didn't types of fish on the board but the ones with the rocks is what's actually available. Not sure if this is usual or because I was there 1 hour before closing time but there were about 5 actually available. There was plenty of seating options though the place was busy because most people seem to order takeaway. I had the kingfish in tempura batter with their handcut chips and aioli sauce. This cost around NZD21 which is what I'd expect for fancy fish & chips. The battery had a lovely crunch, the fish was flakey and did not have that old fishy taste at all. It was perfect with a bit of salt and pepper. The chips were just amazing. Crunchy in the outside, hot and soft inside. I can't believe I managed to practically eat them all considering their size but I found them addictive, especially with the aioli, or even just a bit of salt and pepper. Also, apologies for the weird angle on my 3rd photo but I was avoiding a fellow customer's face

   Good little lunch joint with a reliable fish and chip special for $12! Thorndon Chippery is a good local addition and makes lunch much more interesting. They offer a range of fish options and you can choose your style of chip from French to curly, I recommend chunky! The menu offers a few other good choices. Strong burger options include the fried chicken and vegetarian burgers. Plan to order one of their craft beers to go with your little linch. Service is fast from a friendly staff. Go here for a good little work lunch relying on decent prices.
