About John's Fresh Catch Fish & Chippery

Classic takeaway done right in Melton—fresh fillets wrapped in a light, crackling batter alongside generous heaps of golden chips. Locals drop by for the unhurried nostalgia of an old-school fish and chippery, where you can watch orders sizzle on the grill right behind the counter. Beyond the flathead and flake, the griddle turns out a towering burger with the lot.

  • Light Batter or Grilled: Fillets are coated in a thin, crisp batter rather than thick dough, or prepared straight on the grill.
  • Open-Counter Cooking: Counter orders are cooked and wrapped right in front of you on the open grill and fryers.
  • Burger with the Lot: A hearty counter staple packed with classic fillings alongside generous heaps of chips.

Before you head over

Practical pointers on ordering preferences, on-the-go dining, and holiday visits

  • Opt for Grilled or Battered

    If you prefer a lighter meal or have specific dietary preferences, ask for your fish grilled instead of the traditional batter coating.

  • Pack Cutlery for Car Dining

    Takeaway fish portions are generous and very tender—keep a fork handy if you are eating takeaway in your vehicle or on the go.

  • Plan Ahead on Major Holidays

    During major holidays like Good Friday and Christmas Eve, expect peak shop volumes even as kitchen orders move briskly.
