Westmeadows Fish & Chip Shop turns out hefty fillets of flake and hand-battered potato cakes fried in beef tallow. Operating on Fawkner Street for half a century, this no-frills takeaway keeps things decidedly old school. Orders are strictly phone-in or counter-service, wrapping up generous, crisp packs meant for a crowd. Regulars pair the crunchy flake with thick pumpkin cakes or a throwback hamburger with the lot.
- Tallow-Fried Classics: Potato cakes and flake are battered on the spot and fried in beef tallow for extra crunch.
- Generous Portions: Massive fillets and family-sized bundles provide filling, cost-effective meals.
- Old-School Pick-Up: A 50-year neighbourhood staple operating purely on counter service and phone orders.
