Fins & Feathers

The aptly named Fins and Feathers describe their fish and chicken menu exactly. As far as fast food goes, their fish and chicken burgers with chips are fine. My major gripe with this place is the disgusting ibises hanging around. They are everywhere. On the tables, in the rubbish bins, converging on crumbs around your feet.
It’s enough to turn your stomach. I don’t care how good the food is here. People need to stop feeding feral animals at Southbank. Until they do something about the ibis issue which is particularly pertinent around this fish and chips shop, I won’t be coming back.

Amidst the madness that is South Bank during school holidays, frantic mums and babysitters scour the parklands for something that will feed their army of children, but won’t send them into a tornado of sugar high (I’m looking at you Cold Rock!). I, admittedly, have been one of those babysitters, and one of the only places in South Bank where the kids you’re looking after can still be loud, get fed, and not disturb other diners is the fish and chippery on the corner opposite the Piazza, Fins & Feathers.
There is absolutely nothing fancy about this place at all– it’s your typical fast food joint complete with chicken chips and good sized serves of deep fried goodness. In terms of nutrition, not the greatest, but unless you’re organised enough to pack a picnic before your parkland adventure there are few options of cheap eateries in South Bank suitable for kids. This place is so casual, so there’s no reason why you can’t hop straight out of the pool and walk up for a feed. The other great thing is that they’re open early and close late so are available for breakfast, lunch and dinner (although I’m sure there’s not much difference in the menu items).
If you’re wrestling with a team of rascals and need somewhere in South Bank to slow them down, Fins & Feathers (though it could never be considered dining) will fill them up.
