About Stanmore Fish & Chips

Stanmore Fish & Chips nails the nostalgic suburban chippy feel—crisp, clean, and free of takeaway grease. Hand-cut chips sliced from whole potatoes hit the fryer alongside fresh white fish clad in an airy tempura batter. Regulars lean toward the fork-tender calamari or thick potato scallops, paired with a lemon wedge and house tartare.

  • Hand-cut chips: Sliced in-house from fresh whole potatoes rather than standard frozen commercial cuts.
  • Tempura-style batter: Light tempura preparation keeps battered hoki and barramundi crisp without excess oil.

  • Light & Crisp Tempura Batter

    Delicate tempura-style batter encases fresh white fish, providing crispness without retaining excess oil.

    Hoki was flaky and fresh and the batter was light and crispy, not too oily.

  • Potato Scallops

    I also would recommend the potato scallop as they’re much thicker but tastes just right in texture and flavour.
