Wallaceville Takeaways is a fish and chip shop at 681 Fergusson Drive in Trentham, Upper Hutt, rated 4.4 on Google by its customers.
A good fish and chip shop lives or dies by timing: fish fried to order keeps the batter crisp and the fillet moist, while anything left sitting under a warmer goes soft fast. Thick-cut chips are best eaten within minutes of the fryer, and most shops will happily cook a fresh batch if you ask, especially on a quiet weeknight when the last lot has been sitting a while. Regulars judge a shop by the state of its oil — chips should taste clean, never stale — and by how it handles a busy Friday night rush.
For a proper feed close to home, Wallaceville Takeaways sits on the Fergusson Drive strip, handy for Trentham and the rest of Upper Hutt.
