About Big Dave’s Chipper - Restaurant

In Maroubra, Big Dave’s Chipper turns out genuine Irish chipper classics anchored by hand-cut spuds fried in beef tallow. Ex-pats cross the harbour for a taste of home—thick curry sauce over chips, crisp battered cod, and hefty jumbo breakfast rolls packed with Irish sausage. Counter orders move fast alongside hot bags of chicken goujons, battered sausages, and shelves stocked with imported crisps. A proper chipper fix, finished with rich gravy and a tub of mushy peas.

  • Tallow-Fried Hand-Cut Chips: Potatoes are peeled, hand-cut in-house, and fried in beef tallow for authentic chipper texture.
  • Traditional Chipper Staples: Regional comforts include curry chips, spice bags, battered sausages, and jumbo breakfast rolls.

Before you head over

Practical advice on menu choices and dietary details for your visit

  • Opt for Cod

    When ordering fish and chips, consider upgrading to cod rather than hoki for the best texture and traditional flavor.

  • Pair Sauce with Spice Bags

    The spice bag packs solid chilli heat and can lean dry on its own, so add a side of curry sauce or gravy to pour over it.

  • Note Beef Tallow in Chip Frying

    The hand-cut chips are prepared in authentic beef tallow rather than vegetable oil, which impacts vegetarian dietary requirements.
