    The ultimate in fresh “fish & chips” - quality! The food is epic, the service is genuine and warm, the value for money is exceptional!

    Great to return as see the old place now it's rebuilt following the fire 2 years ago. Just as excellent as previously with the added bonus of being better set out without soiling the experience of a fisherman's hut.

    Love the restaurant, excellent food although the service was a little slow today and one of our portions of chips were not hot. Otherwise - EXCELLENT.

    We have been to Sole Bay several times and it was good to go back after it reopened after the fire. The staff were friendly and you know that all food is freshly cooked. We will certainly return.
