About Pier 50 Fish & Chippery

Fresh flake, stacked burgers, and house-made smashed potato cakes packed with bacon and chili make Pier 50 a standout suburban fish and chippery. Hot parcels arrive wrapped the traditional way in plain butcher paper—crisp, clean, and free of heavy grease. Regulars count on owner Ron for neighborly hospitality and generous packs that feed a crowd, while the golden smashed cakes deliver a crunchy, savory kick you will not find at conventional fry shops.

  • Smashed Potato Cakes: House-crafted potato cakes folded with bacon, onion, cheese, and a hint of chili, fried crisp and fluffy.
  • Traditional Butcher Paper Wrap: Hot takeaway orders come bundled in classic butcher paper rather than soggy boxes or plastic cartons.
  • Neighborhood Hospitality: Owner Ron customizes pack orders on the fly and often throws in extra cakes or treats for families.

The Pier 50 Advantage

Why Ringwood locals rely on Pier 50 for classic fish, chips, and specialty sides

  • Generous, Fresh Takeaway Feasts

    Freshly battered fish, crisp chips, and stacked burgers arrive in substantial family and multi-person portions at retro price points.

    The fish is fresh and nicely battered, portions are generous, and everything tastes great. The burgers are seriously good value and stacked high

  • Wrapped in Traditional Butcher Paper

    Hot meals are parcelled in authentic rolled butcher paper instead of rigid boxes or plastic cartons to maintain classic texture and tradition.

    I love that the food is wrapped just in butchers paper the traditional way.

  • Signature Smashed Potato Cakes

    Handmade potato cakes are blended with bacon, onion, cheese, and chilli, then fried golden for a crisp exterior and savoury, fluffy core.

    The standout was their handmade smashed potato cakes with bacon, onion, and a hint of chilli. Crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy inside

  • Light, Crisp Batter Without Oily Heaviness

    Cooked in clean oil without heavy grease, the crisp batter lets the fresh, flaky fish shine without an oily aftertaste.

    The fish and chips are fantastic too, with no oily aftertaste at all. We’ve been searching everywhere for a lighter version, and this one truly hits the spot.

  • Attentive, Tailored Counter Service

    The owner accommodates custom requests on the spot, dividing fillets to share, swapping pack items, and gifting bonus treats to waiting diners.

    The lovely owner even offered to cut the fish fillet into 4 pieces so each of us got a small bite. He even give super dooper to kiddos after meals.

    Ron always greets us by name, which is a quality lost amongst most places these days!!
