"Our sunday fish and chips were so good last night! The batter is consistently good here, crunchy and light. The chips last night were perfect (sometimes the are a little undercooked) The extra flavoring they add always makes it extra special."

"We were driving to Auckland and intentionally stopped over in Huntly because of word of South Cross Fisheries. I must say, the food exceeded expectations. We ordered a gatsby burger, a South African style burger. The steak within being juicy and tender. I would most certainly drive out to Huntly to satisfy any future cravings."

"Great value for money. Lovely meal of Snapper and salad for me and steak, salad and chips for the fella. Both generous sizing, and beautifully cooked. Ate in, as the place was empty. Basic and well used decor but that aside, a really nice experience."
