Definitely not going to be a regular spot for me due to the price but good if you are in the mood for a greasy splurge lunch on the odd occasion. Can be super busy so expect a wait for a seat and food. Cool they have a vegan burger šš½
So busy when we arrived. Said it would take 25 minutes but it took 50! But you know what? It was worth it. I thought it might be a little costly but I'm not too fussed about price if the food is good. I had the softshell crab burger, coleslaw, terakihi and chips. The chips were crispy and hot. The meal was yum. Having the choice of batters is a nice touch and knowing what fish is available before ordering is a nice touch too. Good Fish n Chips!
Great fish and chips. On the pricey end, but it is a long way to the competition. Fish is beautifully cooked, great crinkle cut chips (single serve could be shared). Nice local beer to wash it down.
The chippery is great if you're in a delicious greasy mood. Generous proportions at a fair price. The fish is battered very nicely, crunchy on the outside while moist in the inside. The curly fries are a MUST along side their home made aioli.
I usually go there for their burgers, as they are super good and originals; The curly fries are delicious too and this outlet is located in Murphy street.
The best fish and chips Iāve had in Wellington. Love the options for different fish and different chips.. I donāt tend to crave F&C, but I crave the Chippery.
Ordered online and the food turned up right in time about 25 minutes after I ordered. Chips were good although some of them so chunky they were raw. I went for beer battered fish which was delicious. Generous portions, piping hot. Love that they sell foxton fizz drinks too!
I love the chippery. It's such a good concept and the staff are always awesome. It would be great to see people write more reviews when they have a good experience instead of when they have a bad. You guys rock. Keep up the good work
Great food and atmosphere. Lunch time is busy can but that's to be expected in this part of town! Delicious shop for fish and chips - and they are open on weekends!
Good food. Ā The burgers are quality and are definitely not your average fish n' chips fare. There can be a bit of a wait on busy nights but it's worth it. Ā
They messed up my order tonight and forgot a burger, however they made up for it by delivering the burger to my house with a bunch of extra free food - everyone makes mistakes, it's how you recover from them that is important and for that they get a perfect 5/5 from me.

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.
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
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.
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.
Phenomenal fish and curly fries, excellent portion, delicious and fresh! Highly recommend this unassuming little shop, with good music and beer on tap.
Popped in a couple of months ago and had a fantastic meal with friendly staff and a good price. I got the Halloumi Burger and Kumara fries, an easy 10/10. My boyfriend enjoyed his fish and chips as well, weāll definitely come back when we are in Wellington.
They also have specials on, so definitely have a look what they are offering that day/week!
I had the craft beer battered tarakihi which is a fish native to New Zealand and Australian waters. Hand cut chips and a razzle dazzle tap beer. Go early rather than late. Staff worked hard all day and were ready to enjoy the long holiday weekend. Or maybe it's back to the grind the next day. Either way, the frequent exasperated breathes told me it was time to go.
Fish is the best I've had in Wellington, kumera chips also a definite 10. Was expecting the same for the burgers but would give them a 7 out of 10 (we had the pork belly and fish burgers).
Great selection of fish. Good for takeaway. They do delivery too. But limited seating, so not so suitable for long conversation over dinner.
fish and chips very niceļ¼I will back tomorrow .
