Book NowAbout Tommy Tucker's
Steps from the Acland Street tram, Tommy Tucker's nails classic seaside fish and chips with clean, golden batter and zero greasy weight. Fans swear by the crisp flake dusted with chicken salt, chargrilled calamari, and potato cakes cut and battered on location instead of pulled from a freezer bag. Fish tacos and double deluxe burgers share the board with counter-served pints, making it an easy drop-in before evening shows at the Palais. Grab a footpath table to watch the streetcars roll past with a schooner of draught beer.
- House-Cut Potato Cakes: Handmade on site instead of sourced frozen, delivering an airy, golden crunch.
- Draught Beer on Tap: Pours of cold beer on tap to accompany seafood combos and street-facing outdoor tables.
- Pre-Show & Transit Stop: Speedy counter service right by the Acland Street tram terminus, ideal before Palais Theatre gigs.
