About Captain Gummy's Fish & Chips

Thick-cut fillets battered fresh to order, golden potato cakes, and hot takeaway wrapped up old-school in paper. This Tunstall Square fish and chippery skips soggy, pre-battered shortcuts, dropping crisp flake and fat chips straight into clean oil. Regulars often bypass seafood entirely for the charcoal spit lamb, loaded into warm souvlaki or layered over fries with crumbled feta. You will likely walk away with a complimentary extra potato cake tossed into your warm parcel.

  • Battered Fresh to Order: Fish is dipped in light batter and fried on the spot rather than held under heat lamps.
  • Charcoal Spit Souvlaki: Slow-turned lamb souvlaki and HSP variations cooked over coals alongside fried staples.
  • Old-School Chippery Tradition: Hot parcels wrapped traditionally in paper, frequently packed with extra potato cakes.

Reasons to Choose Captain Gummy's

Why locals choose Captain Gummy's for crisp fish, chips, and charcoal souvlaki

  • Battered Fresh to Order

    Fish is dipped in batter fresh on the spot rather than held pre-battered, producing a light, crunchy finish that avoids heavy oiliness.

    The fish is battered fresh on the spot—not pre-battered—so it comes out incredibly fresh and crunchy every time.

  • Authentic Charcoal Souvlaki

    Generously filled charcoal rotisserie lamb and souvlakis offer an authentic grilled alternative for households wanting more than fried options.

    For years now I have enjoyed their Charcoal souvlaki, and the owners have kept true to the origins of the wrap.

  • Clean, Crisp Comfort

    Light, clean frying oil and airy batter allow customers to enjoy traditional fried comfort food without feeling uncomfortably weighed down.

    Fish is fresh and batter is light and crispy - none of that hollow, over-fried junk.

  • Accommodating Hospitality

    Welcoming, accommodating owners readily personalize orders, swap items, and ensure customers feel genuinely valued.

    Lovely and friendly, listened and accommodating of our 'special' requests. Fresh and light, good flavour.
