Seafood season has arrived, and with it comes exciting news for fish and chips lovers across Brisbane. Hunter St. Hospitality the group behind El Camino Cantina, The Bavarian, and Winghaus – is bringing something new to the table: Catch Fish and Chips, opening at Westfield Chermside on Wednesday, November 12, 2025.
This isn’t just another new restaurant in Chermside – it’s a love letter to the classic Aussie tradition of fish and chips by the beach, now landing right in the heart of Brisbane’s north. Whether you’re after a quick lunch between shops or a fuss-free family dinner, Catch is set to deliver all the coastal flavour and nostalgia you’ve been craving.
A Fresh Take on an Aussie Classic
When you think of the classic fish and chip shop, some things come to mind – and they’re probably delightfully golden, battered, and perfectly salted. That’s exactly what you can expect at Catch Fish and Chips.
As Pavement Whispers reports, this newest concept brings “a menu of fast, fuss-free eats that are jam-packed with coastal flavour.” The approach is refreshingly simple: blending a nostalgia-laced look with contemporary twists to create something that feels both familiar and new.
“Catch Fish and Chips is inspired by the Aussie tradition of enjoying good fish and chips by the beach,” said the CEO of Hunter St. Hospitality in The Urban List’s coverage. “We wanted to bring that same warmth and simplicity to the heart of the city.”
And while Westfield Chermside’s location might not be quintessentially coastal, Catch is bringing all the surfside charm to Brisbane’s bustling shopping precinct – conveniently located right next to The Bavarian.
What's on the Menu?
Catch Fish and Chips is keeping things deliciously straightforward with all the humble classics you love, done right. The menu features:
- Crispy golden calamari
- Succulent prawn rolls
- Freshly grilled barramundi
- NZ Hoki and grilled salmon
- Loaded Catch bowls for something a little heartier
- Signature burgers packed with flavour
- Golden, crispy chips (because what’s fish and chips without perfect chips?)
- Little Nippers section for the kids
And because no trip to the fish and chip shop is complete without a sweet finish, Catch is serving up deep-fried Mars bars – the only dessert option you really need.
Every dish is designed to be fast and fuss-free, perfect for shoppers looking for a quick bite or families wanting a no-fuss dinner that everyone will love.
Coastal Vibes in the Heart of Brisbane
What sets Catch Fish and Chips apart in Brisbane’s competitive fish and chips scene is its commitment to bringing that beachside experience inland.
“Chermside felt like the perfect place to launch – bringing a touch of coastal charm to a busy urban centre and creating something fun for the local community,” the Hunter St. Hospitality CEO shared. “And we aim for more Catch Fish and Chips to come.”
The team behind Catch knows a thing or two about creating memorable dining experiences. With successful concepts like El Camino Cantina’s Tex-Mex fiestas, The Bavarian’s German bier hall atmosphere, and Winghaus’s sports bar energy, Hunter St. Hospitality has proven they can deliver on flavour, vibe, and value – and they’re bringing that same energy to this new venture.
