Ferry Road Seafoods: Classic Fish and Chips in Waltham, Christchurch

Tucked into Ferry Rd in Waltham, Christchurch, Ferry Road Seafoods is a straightforward, no-frills fish and chip shop serving up the takeaway classics locals expect from a good chippie, alongside a solid line-up of burgers, patties and simple meals.

A Big Deep Frier Menu

The heart of the menu is the deep frier, and it's an extensive one. Beyond the everyday order of fish and chips, there's a genuine range of fish fillets to choose from — Blue Cod, Tarakihi, Gurnard and Hoki — plus Lemon Pepper Fish for something a bit different. Seafood lovers can also go for mussels or scallops, while the sides list runs deep: potato fritters, squid rings, crab sticks, chicken nibbles, spring rolls, onion rings and more, along with a handful of sweeter treats like banana fritters, deep-fried donuts and a deep-fried Moro bar for dessert.

Burgers and Patties

For those after something more substantial, Ferry Road Seafoods runs a full burger menu, from a Plain Burger through to the Monster Burger — loaded with egg, bacon, cheese, pineapple, tomato and double meat. There's a Steak Burger made with ribeye, a Fish Burger for pairing the shop's seafood with a bun, and a Vegetarian Burger for those wanting a meat-free option. A separate patties section covers classics like mince and potato, cheese and onion, bacon and corn, chicken, sweet corn fritter and paua.

Simple Meals

Alongside the takeaway staples, the shop offers a short list of meals — Sausages & Eggs, Fish & Eggs, and Bacon & Eggs — each served with salad and chips, giving customers a more complete plate option beyond the usual scoop of chips.

Ordering and Hours

Ferry Road Seafoods takes orders online for pickup, with secure online payment accepted through Visa, Mastercard and PayPal. The shop runs on a split lunch and dinner schedule rather than staying open right through the day, and it's closed for lunch service on Saturdays and Sundays, opening again in the afternoon for dinner. Hours shift slightly by day of the week, so it's worth checking the current operating hours before heading down, especially around the midday gap between sessions.

Getting Your Order

Customers place their order through the shop's online menu, building their order item by item from the full deep frier, burger, patty, meals and drinks range. Once submitted and paid for securely online, orders are ready for pickup from the Ferry Rd shop at the scheduled time.
