“ FIVE STARS FOR THIS SHOP First time here tonight to Solway Seafood & Fish and Chips. WHAT A GREAT FIND in Masterton! The chips were a good grade potato and cooked to perfection in CLEAN oil. The egg burger was excellent - good bun, tasty meat patty, fresh crispy lettuce, fresh tomato, onion and beetroot. The home made potato fritters were covered in a super good batter and were the best we've tasted - ever. ..perfect. You cant beat good old fashioned Kiwi takeaways. Thankyou for all your hard mahi. We will be back! ”
“ 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. ”

“ 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 ”
“ 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 ”
“ 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. ”
“ 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! ”
