About James' Snack Bar

Hot chips come fresh out of the fryer, drenched in ladlefuls of rich gravy.

Before you head over

Practical tips on timing, parking, and ordering for your visit

  • Navigate the rear parking carefully

    Take extra care when pulling into or navigating the rear car park, as maneuvering in and out can be tight.

  • Arrive early for hot morning rolls

    If you need an early hot breakfast or roast roll on your morning commute, hot pork rolls and food are ready from 6:30am.

  • Upgrade your burger build

    When ordering burgers, ask to upgrade to 'the lot' for bacon and egg, or request added fresh chilli if you prefer extra heat.
