Sherwood Takeaways is a neighbourhood takeaway shop at 85 Glencoe Road in Browns Bay, Auckland, with a 4.0 rating from 144 Google reviews and online ordering for pickup. Reviews are mixed: real praise for the fish of the day — large, well seasoned fillets — and generously sauced hot dogs, alongside grumbles about waits near opening time.
A good takeaway lives or dies on timing and freshness. The best ones cook fish to order rather than letting it sit in the warmer, turn chips over in small batches so they arrive crisp, and keep the menu honest — burgers, hot dogs, fresh fish — done properly. Regulars order ahead for peak hours, expect a short wait when the fryers are full, and judge a shop by its chips first: if those are right, the rest usually follows.
For Browns Bay locals after a proper paper-wrapped feed, Sherwood Takeaways on Glencoe Road is well placed to oblige.
