About Northern Soul Chip Shop

Expect proper UK chippy staples in St Kilda, from crisp battered fish and chunky hand-cut chips to rich curry gravy. Regulars brave the persistent lines along Inkerman Street for generous takeaway platters of Dublin-style spice bags, jumbo battered sausages, and thick potato cakes dusted in prawn cocktail seasoning. Orders take time during peak rushes, so grab an Irn Bru and duck into the adjacent caravan club beer garden or head toward the beach to eat from the paper.

  • Authentic Chippy Classics: Crisp battered fish pairs with thick hand-cut chips, warm curry gravy, and mushy peas.
  • Custom Seasoned Potato Cakes: Thick-cut potato cakes come finished with specialized dustings like prawn cocktail seasoning.
  • Northern Soul Spice Bags: Generous boxes pack crispy chicken, chips, and wok-charred vegetables with robust spice blends.

  • Regional Spice Bags with Rich Seasoning

    House-made spice bags bring Dublin chippy culture to Melbourne, featuring seasoned fried chicken, crisp chips, wok-charred vegetables, and fried rice pairings.

    The Northern Soul Spice Bag is very flavourful, I reckon pairing it with the egg fried rice is perfect!

  • Generous Sharing Platters for Groups

    Generous portion sizes make it easy for groups to split hearty combo boxes, loaded spice bags, and thick battered sausages.

    Big old portions too- recommend grabbing a couple and sharing with the gang.

  • Varied Menus Built for Group Feasts

    The menu's unique regional items, like the Wigan Casino fish box and prawn cocktail potato cakes, make ordering a fun communal tasting experience.

    As a group we got a few different things and the quality was spot on for all - the spice bag and fish and chips are such a good size

  • Beachside Takeaway by St Kilda Beach

    Located just minutes from the St Kilda foreshore, the shop packages hot takeaway ready to be enjoyed while overlooking the water.

    There’s a garden/beach around 13 minutes away, so I highly recommend doing takeaway and enjoying it there with the view.

  • Connected Caravan Club Beer Garden Seating

    Diners can grab their fresh takeaway and head straight to the connected Caravan Club outdoor beer garden to enjoy hot chips alongside cold drinks.

    love the atmosphere in the outdoor seating area in the Caravan Club!

  • Fish and Chips

    Honestly the best fish and chips I’ve had in Australia. The coating and frying of the fish is impeccable.

Before you head over

Practical advice on queues, portion sizes, and seating for your visit

  • Order Ahead Online to Bypass Queues

    Queues regularly stretch down the street during peak weekend and dinner rushes, and wait times can reach 45 minutes after placing an order. Use their online ordering app ahead of time to skip the walk-up line.

  • Share Large Mains Between Diners

    Main portions—such as the spice bags and fish and chip meals—are generous and easily feed two or more diners. Plan to share a main dish and supplement with individual flavored potato cakes.

  • Head to the Beer Garden or Beach

    Indoor seating is cramped and fills fast. Take your order around back to the adjacent Caravan Club beer garden to enjoy drinks, or take a short walk down to St Kilda Beach.
