The shop was located only about 200 metres away from the Kamana Lakeside hotel where we were staying at, just off Ferntree Hill Rd Queenstown.
We liked it so much that we ordered Fish n Chips 2 times during our 3 day stay in Queenstown and enjoyed delicious crumbed Cod, Hoki, chips and potato cakes/scallops that we reasonably priced.
We plan to return soon for some more delicious Fish n Chips on our next holiday in NZ.
Highly recommended.
So glad to have finally tried Chur. We were both newbies and couldn’t have been more welcomed by the staff who were friendly and efficient. This is by best the best fish and chips I’ve had since being in NZ in the last 6 years. The fish was delicious but for me it was the cook on the chips! Like they are just like British ones, I couldn’t believe it. I had heard many people recommend them but lake Hayes to FernHill is quite the distance but 100% worth it.
We will be back! For those who haven’t tried it yet run don’t walk!
I suggest ordering online and collecting. Otherwise you can have a drink next door whilst you wait for your hot and delicious food.
Bonus - They do Curry sauce and it’s epic!
The owner was also incredibly friendly and welcoming. Absolutely incredible — 10/10, would 100% come back!
