B. H.

Have stopped here 3 times now and will try to stop when I can. Their fish and chips are really good. They have a good selection of different types of fish and other items as well as burgers. The cooked food was really good and the chops were golden and crispy the way i love. Service is good through a window to the street but it give you the feel of a food cart so was all good. All round great service and the food is top notch. Will be trying a burger next time for sure.

J. M.

The best fresh fish! The lady was lovely! Go here n enjoy folks! Yum yum!....Update folks! I was in Hokita for 3 days, ate here for 3 days! I cannot be a happier person for my visit! The lady was absolutely lovely and the place deserves all my stars! Thanks Porky's, you gave me a big smile! Mwah

F. M.

Lots of whitebait in their fritters and massive bits of chicken... fully recommend visiting if you are in Hokitika

W. A.

Best John Dory I'd ever had from a fish and chips shop. Crumbled not battered yum. Enjoyed our meal

J. R.

Yummy food and good service. Has tables outside to eat at which was nice! Good sized serving got me... at 1st I wanted more chips but by the end I was so full!

H. W.

Had good reviews and ratings, pretty busy little place (which tells me they must have decent food). I asked the staff members about the lasagne; unfortunately no one had tried this item so I gave it a try. It was adequate for the price, however it could do with some salt and pepper. I probably would try the place again, but definitely a different meal.

K. I.

Not a bad fish and chips shop, chips are excellent and the fact you could choose which salt you wanted is really appreciated but the fact that the hoki that is being used seems to be frozen is a real shame. All in all good takeaway

E. E.

Great customer service even under huge pressure and 5 minutes from closing- excellent fish & Chips. House made paua was amazing.

D. B.

These guys are awesome. beautiful burgers, nuggets, hotdogs and chips! my go to for local fish and chips for sure 🔥

L. O.

The best chippy on the coast! We often travel down from Greymouth just to get fish and chips from Porky's! Always fast service and great chicken burgers.

D.

Great fresh fish & chips! Really good friendly service.

J. K.

The BEST fish and chips i had in nz so far. Price is great too. Just 7$ for the fish and chips.

T. M.

My husband and I just had the whitebait burger and we both agree it is the best burger we have ever had!

A.

Excellent service. Fantastic food. Great value for money

J. W.

Quite shocked to see this has 3.9 stars only. A true classic kiwi fish and chip shop. No fancy stuff, just good fresh fish and chips, burgers, normal prices, would 100% go again. Really enjoyed it! Friendly staff too!

A. A.

Decent portions of chips, burger was delicious especially with the bacon & egg I added. Lasagna was a bit bland but add some salt and pepper & it's all sorted! Decently priced, unfortunately we ate it before we could take a picture.

K. D.

Cheap, budget friendly fast food MADE TO ORDER! Expect to wait for your food longer than McDonald’s 🍟

R. S.

Seafood platter was good, cheeseburger as good as anywhere. Would visit again.

W.

Great fish an chips though tad over oily

K.

Excellent friendly service, great presentation of menu, and delish food!

Z. K.

Tasty rig and kumara fries (expected bigger size tho) , reasonable price, fast service.

M. H.

Great fish n chips. Had the Turbot & Rig both very fresh. The Rig was the tastiest of the two. Quick service would buy there again next time we go through Hokitika.

h.

The service was friendly and the decor was nice, but the fish was average (Pre- frozen, not fresh) and small for the price, the oysters were also average (Not bad) just average ...

M. G.

Nice whitebait pattie but a bit overpriced I thought. Fish and chips generous

J.

Get value for money, food tasted amazing aswell.

d.

Small scoops of chips about 70 chips but they did taste nice

c. t.

Mean! Kiwi as fish n chips! Still wrapped in news paper! You can't get more kiwi than that! Awesome fish was fresh, nice chips

R. M.

Good food always! One downside is sometimes they mix up chicken and normal salt. One time they didnt put salt on the chips. Still good!!!

T. A.

Pretty great fish and chips. Not sure if having to pay extra for ketchup and tartar is the norm here in NZ, but you have to here at Porky's. Everything was delicious. Not super greasy or over fried. Nicely done.

S.

Very nice town.

J.

Delectable food and good portion for the price you pay! Got the standard fish and chips and a seafood platter shared among 6 of us and it was thoroughly enjoyable. Fried to a nice golden airy crisp. Will be back when I visit Hokitika again!

T. W.

Terrible service. Most of the workers are not very friendly, felt like we were inconveniencing them. We were expecting a small town type hospitality, but did not receive that all. There was a younger girl working who handed us our food who was pleasant though. Ordered the Blue Cod Special. Crinkle cut fries were good, but fish was very bland and obviously frozen. They give out tartar sauce packets that were terrible and made the fish taste even worse! They also charge for ALL sauces, including tomato sauce. So my fries had to be eaten plain. Wife got a veggie burger, which was actually pretty good.

D.

Amazing fish & chip shop. Owned and operated by locals. There is a reason they have lines out the door. Best place in town for your takeaway needs. Large section of burgers fish and all the extras.

P.

One of the best tasting chips and chicken I've tasted, and the price was alright as well! Although the place is small the team looked like they enjoyed what they're doing which is something I 👍 👍 👍 👍

M. B.

Wow! what a huge improvement compared to our last experience 10yrs ago. The food much better with timely friendly service. Only recommendations would be, please wear gloves when handling food especially when you are working at the till.

J. W.

When I called to place my order I was answered politely, unfortunately when i arrived to retrieve my order there was no pleasant address, instead I stood awkwardly at the counter watching the three people behind the counter none of whom said "I'll be with u in a minute " there was only four people waiting in the shop. A bit of customer service would have been great!! But not recieved.

t.

Lovely staff quick service delicious food

B. N.

Excellent Fish & Chips shop and friendly ladies were staffing the place during my visit. Excellent range of kai moana ( seafood ).

P.

Well ordered and clean premises. Enjoyed the taste of both the fish (rig) and chips.

S. C.

We just got hot dogs and chips for the kids. The hot chips were awesome. Thd hot dogs the kids wouldn't eat because they had the big palonie red sausages in them. If they could please have the option of a plain sausage in the hot dogs that would be great. Very busy popular place. Nice food. Easy location and good parking. Quick good fast service. Great friendly staff. Kids also enjoyed their ice cream. Thankyou.

B. M. P.

The best chips 🍟 I eat. Amazing allioli sauce and great fish. Nice and friendly staff. I highly recommend to stop here 👍 👍 👍

H.

Great feed. Quick and easy to get to.

J. Q.

Great fish and chips had here on Sunday night , had run out of Blue Cod but the Rig I had was cooked perfectly and nice and fresh , chips nice also . 👍

H. M.

Clean yummy hot chips and good service. Scoop of chips and fish size were smaller than expected but still tasted delicious!

C. E. M.

Unfortunately the 'scoops' just seem to be getting smaller and smaller unlike the price! Reply to owner's comment.... Thanks for your reply. Its not just the crinkle cut chip size. The standard scoop size of just your normal chips is small as in sizing now too. We also bought a scoop of wedges which was practically a quarter of a bag! Use to be able to get a feed of PC's and it would fill the family up. No where near it now. Just a shame as your food is delicious but unfortunately not value for $ in portion size

D.

Great lunch and great service

C. R.

omg best fish n chips ive had in long long time, friendy efficient staff quick service they do these long donut things....yum...worth every cent...well done guyz

H. Y.

One of the best " fish and chips " meal.in my life after Dundee Scotland. Alhamdullilah Great price too. Our entire family infant aside had a fantastic lunch after an amazing train ride from Christchurch to Weymouth

d.

Awesome food, great service in a wonderful place. What more can you ask for? Fresh tasting seafood and well kept & clean premises, will be back again when visiting Hokitika!

D. D. E.

A good value takeway shop. The wait wasn't very long and they have a good selection. They also make milkshakes and they have a small ice cream bar. The fish and chips were very good, especially the kumara chips. Dont let the ramshackle look of the burgers fool you - The burgers are large and very yummy. You can add a range of extra ingredients like egg, cheese, bacon, mushrooms. All in all a good takeaway place.

K. H.

Crumbed Hoki was a perfect triangle shape, kind of like sealords from the supermarket, nice flavour but a little processed. the standard fish had an extremely strong fishy flavor, squid rings were average and the whitebait burgers are more like an eggy fritter with a hint of whitebait, chips were cooked well. Cost about $60-70 for 3 of us so quite an expensive takeaway

R. A.

Fish was amazing, and great service. Chips were a little inconsistent across my group of friends. The $5 ice cream deal was great

M.

Best fish n chips ever

:. J.

Absolute dining experience was awesome they knew what was in their food the only problem was that sheet music that everyone hated. This is by far the best fish and chip shop I have been to in a while once again friendly staff Who Knew what was in each of their food products that they sold

C.

First time there. Service was great. Burgers not too bad

T.

A bit surprised to find out that Porky's does not sell pork but does a great Fish and Chips and a really good Cheese Burger.

M. W.

Pretty good fish and chips. Some of the items didn't really taste much like fish though (I.e. Underwhelming). Still worth a stop and checking it out if you are craving fish and chips.

D. H.

First time eating fish and chips and it was really tasty. The f+c for 2 was a massive amount of food. Only complaint was you have to pay extra for ketchup

B.

Had fish and chips. Great price tasty food. Will go again. And great service.

N.

Had turbot, chips and kumera chips. Fish and chips were good. Kumera chips really could have done with some sour cream

S.

Super busy cause it's super good.

K.

We were very happy with our choice of crumbed and battered hoki. Obviously a very popular place to get takeaways in Hokitika

B. D.

Good fish n chips! Friendly stuff sent me the menue to germany (email), so I could study it and make a choice in advance :))

S.

Chip were mint, fairly sure my Hoki was out of a box and defrosted but still pretty reasonable

K.

A scoop of chips is not what it use to be, barely filled a paper bag that the old owners would put a half scoop in! Rather disappointed.

S. M.

Nice fish, very popular place. If the young girl serving could be a little more jovial

S.

Average meal. Not bad, but nothing special.

S. L.

It was ok. Didn't get my chicken salt on my chips and the oysters were not worth it.
