Clevedon Takeaway cooks fish and chips and Chinese food at 7 Papakura-Clevedon Rd in Clevedon, Manukau City, and holds a 4.3 Google rating.
The dual-menu chippy is a New Zealand classic — one counter, two menus. Good fish and chips come down to batter and timing: thin and crisp, straight from the fryer rather than sitting in the warmer, with flaky fish inside and chips with a bit of snap. Ask what fish is freshest that day; the better shops cut and batter to order instead of holding pieces under heat. The Chinese side of the menu is usually cooked to order too, so call ahead at busy times and expect a short wait. Regulars know a parcel travels well — hot chips eaten outdoors on the road out towards Duder Regional Park are hard to beat.
In a rural village like Clevedon, a well-rated takeaway wearing both hats is exactly the kind of local institution that earns its keep.
