Mt Vic Chippery is a fish and chip shop at 5 Majoribanks Street in Mount Victoria, Wellington, one of two Chippery sites alongside Thorndon. It has a 4.2 rating from 1,047 Google reviews. Its website says the fish, craft beer batter and hand-cut agria chips are locally sourced, with beef patties made by hand and pork shoulder slow-roasted for 12 hours. It lists gluten-free batter and buns, a dedicated gluten-free fryer, vegetarian and vegan options, delivery and catering. Reviewers mention snapper, kumara chips and a craft beer-battered sausage, and praise the staff's knowledge about coeliac needs.
Good fish and chips depend on fresh fish, hot clean oil and a crisp batter, and the best time to eat them is within minutes of leaving the fryer. A short drive home can soften the coating, so eating nearby helps. Asking what the fish of the day is usually gets you the freshest option. One serve of chips is often enough for two, so share before ordering extra. If you avoid gluten, ask about fryer separation.
For a classic Wellington fish and chip feed in Mount Victoria, the Chippery is a well-liked local.
