About Jacky Jones Coburg

Tucked inside the old Pentridge bluestone, Jacky Jones serves golden chippy classics alongside loaded burgers and fresh tacos. Raw fillets rest in an open chilled case before hitting the fryer, giving diners total visibility into what is about to cook. Locals turn up for the Saltwater Pack—crisp fried flake with piping-hot chips—and round things off with spicy salt and pepper calamari or dim sims before catching a movie next door. The kitchen runs an entirely Halal-certified menu with dedicated gluten-free and vegan alternatives, making group dining across different dietary needs completely seamless. Tables spill outdoors across the precinct courtyard, where orders arrive stacked with crunchy onion rings and sweet chili-mayo-drizzled prawn tacos.

  • Certified Halal & Dietary-Inclusive: Everything is Halal-certified alongside dedicated gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options for group dining without compromise.
  • Front-Counter Seafood Display: Guests can inspect raw fish cuts in a chilled front counter case before choosing grilled or crispy battered preparation.
  • Historic Pentridge Setting: Set within the historic Pentridge prison grounds, featuring indoor and outdoor courtyard seating convenient for pre-cinema feeds.

Why Choose Jacky Jones Coburg

Crispy golden fish and chips, inclusive group-friendly menus, and market-style seafood inside historic Pentridge.

  • Golden Batter and Fresh Flakey Fish

    Classic flake, blue grenadier, and dim sims fried in light, crisp batter and paired with hot, seasoned chips.

    Loved the fried flake and blue grenadier, the batter was light and crispy and the fish was flakey and tender.

    Substantial portions featuring crispy fried fish sandwiches, stacked beef patties, and juicy hot chicken.
