We planned a group of 20 people for fish and chips on the beach and ordered from Westshore Fish Cafe. As it was a large order I emailed in advance and received excellent help and advice. The order was ready exactly on time, came well packaged in boxes and some nice extras like lemons and sauce included. The food was... More

Fantastic fish and chip meal. The staff were lovely, the prices were great. It's a long time since I saw staff in a fish and chip shop wear head coverings. The reading on the walls is great too. Leave enough time for that. More

This cafe is really worth a visit. We took the dine -in option and were treated to excellent service and delicious food. The home made Dutch apple pie was superb but almost too much after delicious bluff oysters and delicately battered fish. Taking a walk along the waterfront afterwards made the evening one to remember. More

Thank you so much for your kind review. I'm so happy you had a memorable evening. Westshore is a great spot especially with all the "new" bike and pathways around us. A bit spoiled for choice, just like our menu.... But nothing can beat the Bluff-Oysters! More

After a day of fancy wineries with their fine dining meals and prices, this is exactly the place I wanted to go to: Good old fashioned meals with great prices. It has a lovely relaxed family atmosphere with friendly service. Meals are basic but good and you can choose what size. We wish we'd gone for smaller so we could've... More

It looks like a fish & chip shop from the outside but don't let that put you off. Its a nice little, and quite quaint, cafe serving superbly cooked local fish with about 6 different varieties in 3 different sizes plus a range of other seafood specials. Give it a try and you will be very pleasantly surprised More

This isn't a place you'd likely just stumble upon but the lines for the takeaway clues you into how fresh the fish is and how many fans there are. We were tired and decided we wanted more than fish and chips and so we took a table and paid more for the atmosphere and service. It's a family run business,... More
