About Macintosh Take Away

Macintosh Take Away delivers classic, no-nonsense fish and chips with generous portions and genuine neighborhood hospitality. An unpretentious counter service straight out of the 1980s keeps the focus squarely on the fryer—thick cuts of flake encased in light, crunchy batter alongside hamburgers with the lot. Instead of reconstituted patties, potato cakes are made from fresh sliced potato, fried crisp and frequently tucked into orders with a bonus extra. Regulars phone ahead on busy Friday nights to grab their hot parcels dusted in chicken salt without lingering in the queue.

  • Genuine Potato Cakes: Real potato slices fried in crisp batter, avoiding reconstituted commercial patties.
  • Order-Ahead Convenience: Phoning your order ahead during dinner rush lets you skip the queue and collect hot packs quickly.
  • Old-School Takeaway Value: Substantial flake fillets, burgers with the lot, and flexible chip servings offer remarkable value.

  • Flexible Custom Portioning

    The counter accommodates custom small-batch requests, allowing diners to order exactly the portion size they want rather than fixed minimum packs.

    They even ask how many chips you want. I said only a tiny amount so they gave me $2 worth of chips.
