Welcome to Solway Fish & Chips

General Info

Located at Solway Fish & Chips, this casual diner delivers exactly what you’d expect from a classic fish and chips spot-simple, satisfying food with a welcoming, no-fuss vibe. From the moment you step in, the atmosphere feels relaxed and familiar, making it an easy choice for a quick lunch or a laid-back takeaway meal.

The menu focuses on hearty, comforting favorites, and the highlights truly stand out. The battered fish paired with yellow potato fries is a must-try. The fish comes out crispy on the outside while staying tender and flaky inside, and the fries have that golden crunch that makes them hard to stop eating. Equally worth mentioning are the crumbed fish fillets, which offer a slightly different texture but the same fresh, satisfying flavor. If you’re in the mood for something on the side, the wedges are a solid pick-crispy edges, fluffy centers, and just the right amount of seasoning.

What makes this place even more appealing is how convenient it is. Whether you’re grabbing takeout on the go or ordering delivery for a relaxed meal at home, everything feels efficient and well-organized. It’s also a great stop for lunch, especially if you’re nearby and want something filling without a long wait. The service is straightforward and friendly, which adds to the overall easygoing experience.

Accessibility is another strong point. The restaurant includes a wheelchair accessible entrance and a wheelchair accessible parking lot, making it a comfortable option for a wider range of visitors. That attention to practical details shows they’re thinking about everyone who walks through the door.

From a reviewer’s perspective, the consistency here stands out. The food arrives hot, portions are generous, and the flavors are exactly what you hope for when you think of a traditional fish and chips restaurant. It’s not trying to be fancy, and that’s part of its charm. Instead, it focuses on doing the basics really well.

If you’re browsing locations in Masterton and checking reviews for a reliable, down-to-earth dining spot, this place fits the bill perfectly. It’s the kind of restaurant you return to because you know exactly what you’re getting-freshly cooked comfort food served with a smile.

“ Man best fish and chips I've had in a while! Chips were delicious, fish was good and Chicken and Bacon burger was awesome, fresh ingredients and a great taste. ”

- Simon Rofe -

“ We ordered a loaded burger & it was truly awesome - one of the best burgers you'll ever find! Packed with everything you could ever want, super tasty, generous size, really fresh, great value. The ladies at Solway F&C are hard working & know their stuff. We also love the fresh seafood offerings. This place is the real deal ”

- Katie Skudder -

“ Just wow!! My son and I were looking for something for dinner and decided we’d try F&C from this place (looked busy when we drive past). Can I just say, I’m so glad we did! Service was top notch, the food was really good and the selection! I’d so come back here during summer to grab some food and take it to the park for a picnic. My son had a kids meal and for the price it was great value and came with a drink! Highly recommend this place for F&C. I’ll definitely return if we do another overnight trip or I’ll just come over the hill during summer for a picnic! ”

- Noelle Richmond -

“ Good old fashion takeaways from the pre- 90's x-gen era!!. Childhood memories from a time when life was easy and simple. Homemade meat patties, chips, generous servings and many more reasons. Well done ladies, a true Kiwi icon you should be proud of. Super friendly down to earth staff. ”

- Dean Hemming -

“ Not only was it excellent and friendly service it was also the best burger with all the trimmings and the chips tasted bloody amazing as they use tallow not oil, 100% highly recommend them to anyone who loves a good genuine kiwi fish and chips experience ”

- Brad Wilson -

“ Went in for the first time today, a small shop this a fairly long menu. I just ordered a small meal for 2, fish & chips, the chips were amazingly well cooked, really lovely and absolutely no oily taste to them, delicious. The fish was a good size, and the batter was probably THE BEST i've ever had from a kiwi Fish & Chip shop, very cripy, dark, and delicious. I didn't order any specific piece of fish, so I assume i got whatever was the cheapest, that was a mistake, it wasn't great, but i think that was more to do with just that type of fish - think mushy like that SeaLord rubbish. Next time i would be sure to order a better quality of piece of fish, but you sure cannot fault the chips and the batter, excellent. Also, they were very quick, food ready in about 8 minutes. I would highly recommend this establishment purely on that Fish batter. ”

- Michael Thomson -

“ New owners, HUGE improvement. One small negative - I hate when people touch their hair while handling food. That aside. Fish was good size, tasty and nicely cooked. Chips were perfect. And OMG, finally someone who understands what a Hawaiian burger is! (not just a pineapple ring added!) Will be going back to try more of their range. ”

- Josh Coe -

“ Best fish and chips in the Wairarapa. The fish is just heavenly! Always friendly service too. ”
