We thought that in the lead up to Easter, ‘The People of Bendigo’ would need to know where to go to get their fill. We do suggest that you may want to ring and order to avoid long delays on Good Friday though – you can even call the day before.

Mick’s Fish   5442 9669
19 Nolan Street (opposite Lake Weeroona)
Liz: “Probably the best tasting fish and chips I’ve ever had (gluten-free or not)”

UPDATE: Listeners on GOLD Central Victoria reckon Mick’s is the best.

McIvor Road Takeaway    5441 1615

This could very well be our new favourite with their seriously fat crispy chips. “Ermegherd – so good”
Burgers are great and a bargain to boot. Check them out.
They also deliver and you can order online too.

Lyttleton Terrace Takeaway   5442 4041
3/176 Lyttleton Terrace
There are many advocates for this humble chippy. Comments include:

  • Ann says “great squishy chips” (the Poms love them, apparently)
  • Julie says “Best fish; the batter is always crispy”
  • Becca says “Always packed, but never much of a wait & always GOOD!!”
  • Nicole says “I recommend chips with all sauces, you can thank us later. They sprinkle with chicken salt, spray with vinegar and soy sauce then top wth tomato sauce. It looks awful but tastes ahhhhmazing!” Hmmm. We’ll leave that up to others to report back.
