i really like the ice cream here at JP McCaffrey's... the milky soft serve was the most delicious vanilla soft serve i had! the perfect summer day spent at coogee.
This is fish & chips done the English way. Which is also the way fish & chips were cooked in Australia until about the 1980s. The fish is lightly crumbed not crispy, and the chips are soggy. Clearly, by most of the comments below, this style of f&c doesn't appeal to many Australians. It doesn't really appeal to
me either, but I'm happy to give four stars to McCaffreys because they're authentic
A traditional fish and chip shop with an clean, inviting interior. Seating is mostly inside with a couple of tables outside. The quarter pounder was really tasty but I prefer my chips crispy. Next time I'd try the seafood.
If you're craving an escape from the manufacturerd frozen chips which are ubiquitous in Australia, go here. These guys have proper, freshly cut, soft and fluffy chipper chips. Ignore the reviews here from people who've clearly never had a real chip in their lives. Drown them in malt vinegar, grab a club orange and you're good to go.
This place is pretty on point and you could of walked into any chippy in the UK or Ireland. Chips are real good and the battered sausage fleet like one from back home. Just wished the drink selection was a bit bigger.
After spending a lovely morning hanging out on Coogee Beach, we walked to JP McCaffrey's Traditional Fish & Chips to satisfy our craving for seafood. Upon entering, we felt as if we'd just walked into a local Dublin fish and chip shop. The menu includes a variety of fish and chips, burgers, specials and sides to take away or eat in. We didn't know where to start!
Great Irish faire that will make you feel like your in Dublin at the local fish and chip shop. Everything here is authentic. The chips are hand cut and fresh and the oil is clean... i had the garlic cheesy chips and it was like heaven. I also had the jumbo battered sausage that was crunchy but still so light in the middle. Make sure you order the Cod because its really fresh and flavoursome. Bossman Jono and his mum Mary are very attentive and have a great following with the locals.
This is a cute little shop. While I agree with other reviewers about the chips (they were cold and average - not fluffy or crispy), the scallops and batter used were yum. I'd eat here again when in Coogee
Trialled both fish n chips shops coming into summer and I really enjoyed JP's.
Fish burger was top quality would recommend. Chips were quality and way better vs other store which was big factor for me... but in my opinion a little bit too expensive.
Overall I think worth the cost for just a really good feed next to the beach.
The best fish battered barramundi I've had in a while. Two well sized fillets battered and deep fried to order. Best thing is you don't have to get a whole Mountain of chips with it which I don't eat anyway. It was cooked to perfection and they also have the option of other fish like flathead cod salmon etc. Worth a visit if you haven't been here before 4.
