Plan your visitAbout Mermaids Fish & Chips
Crispy battered flake, hot salted chips, and scratch-made potato cakes define this classic Braybrook takeaway. Run by the same family for over a decade, it is an unapologetic old-school chippie where the oil runs clean and the thin golden crust stays remarkably crisp on the drive home. Regulars rely on it for Friday night dinners centered on no-fuss fish packs and traditional burgers with the lot. Bring paper notes before you line up—the counter is strictly cash only.
- House-made potato cakes: Battered and fried in-house for a crunchy, thin outer shell that holds up until you get home.
- Cash-only counter: Takeaway orders are processed at the counter strictly with cash, keeping the neighborhood operation classic and quick.
