We have always traditionally stopped at the world famous Mangonui Fish and Chips every time we venture north. So when we were up there last weekend we stopped again. The positives, it is still a beautiful setting, the F&C eating area was very clean, they were actually water blasting the floors when we arrived. The service was good and the... More

Nice place to sit and relax with some fish n chips! Probably not the best I've ever had but pretty nice and fresh. Will go back again if I'm in the area!

What have they done to one of my favorite Far North stops.The fish was old,the oysters and scallops were tiny and old and the grease went through 3 layers of paper,YUCK!threw it in the bin to save myself a stomach ache.

The cape Reinga tour we were on stop in at this place on the return trip from the cape so that worked in well. Unfortunately our... More

Had a lovely lunch here, their fish and chips are delicious. The setting was delightful and it was a beautiful sunny day. The service was fast and efficient.

This has always been a place I would recommend people visit because of it's ongoing reputation for fresh seafood - sourced locally. Unfortunately under it's new Management, greed seems to have replaced great value and taken the edge off this once great eatery and atmosphere of being over the water when you have your fish and chips. the fish is...
