Review Craig’s Traditional Fish & Chips - Whangamata

Great fish and chip shop, the owners were lovely and give you a very good portion size for the price. I had the cheesy chips and my partner had the kumara chips and battered sausage. They gave plenty of sauce and cheese on top, we were very full and content after :)

Wanted to come in to try the food for myself after reading the reviews. It was actually good! Batter is obviously thicker than most places but it is nice and has a good crunch. Fish is fresh. Battered snapper is good sized and tasty. Chips are hot and a good amount per scoop. Thanks for the good meal!

It was so so busy. The lady was really lovely considering she was so flat out & dealt with a difficult/odd customer while we were waiting. Bless her. She did so well. Highly recommend. We had fish, chips, potato fritts& battered saus. Really nice.

Great tradional fish and chips...just like at home in the 🇬🇧 albeit if we asked for snapper and 🍟 in the UK we might get a funny look.

Great fish and chips. Burgers were full of lots of yummy things too.

So Refreshing to find a fish and chip shop that caters for Coeliacs. I’ve been going to Craig’s for years, But having only recently been diagnosed with coeliac disease I feared I could no longer have my favourite and also being a smaller beach town there aren’t many coeliac safe options around for takeaways. So I was over the moon to find out that they cater for coeliacs and have a gluten free menu and a separate fryer for all the gf stuff. I had been waiting till I was back in whanga next to try them and boy it was absolutely delicious and I can’t wait to come back and have more 😋 The batter was so good!!! The Owners were so lovely and accommodating and definitely know their stuff. 100/10. YUM - Note you do need to call in advance to place an order for Gluten free fish and chips, but honestly that’s the least we can do and super easy, when they are going above and beyond making a huge effort to cater for coeliacs as well as being a super busy normal fish and chippy shop too!

Just went there this evening. Very friendly and helpful. They do fantastic gluten free (so tasty!) and were so accomodating for us with coeliacs. Recommend you call in the morning to order gluten free for dinner so they have time to prep :)

Amazing food even though it was busy at beach hop. Great value for money. They contact u when your orders going into the cooker so u have time to come get it fresh and hot.

Absolutely perfect fish and chips. Fish was juicy and tender and very well cooked. Chips was crunchy and yet soft on the inside. Definitely going here again next beach hop.

We had superb service and awesome fish & chips on our visit. Our son is celiac (GF), so we rang ahead and spoke to Liz (the owner) and she put the separate fryer on for us and explained their processes for Celiac customers. You do need to ring ahead in good time and check re the fryer, and that is clear on their website. Met Liz at the Fish & Chip shop, and Liz could not be more helpful even though they were very busy. Fish & chips were really tasty and the service appreciated.

The food is excellent and omg you have to try the hotdogs they are massive

Outstanding. A friend said they are the best takeaways in Whangamata - big call. Tried them last night and agree - outstanding. We had fresh Tarakihi battered, chips and a few mussels. The batter was fresh, golden, crispy, thick but fluffy and light! Faultless. New owners, moved here from Tauranga - real family affair with the young daughter on the till - give them a go and support them.

Delicious gluten free fish and chips! Very impressed by them, they have a seperate fryer for coeliacs and are very conscious of allergies. Thank you so much!
