Book NowAbout Westgarth Fish and Burger
Westgarth Fish and Burger serves up crisp-edged smashburgers and corner-chippy classics late into the night. It looks like a standard suburban takeaway, but the grill turns out beef patties with lacy, seared borders tucked into soft buns. Northcote regulars lean hard into the WG Fish Burger—crunchy battered fish fillets, tangy pickles, and lettuce—alongside golden potato cakes and dimmies straight out of the fryer. Chicken nuggets come in generous portions with a turmeric burger sauce, and late orders keep running when the rest of the strip has shut down.
- Griddled Smashburgers: Patties seared with crisp, lacy edges and served on soft buns.
- Chippy Classics: Battered fish fillets, crunchy potato cakes, corn jacks, and fried dim sims.
- Late-Night Service: Full hot takeaway and delivery running late into the night when other spots close.
