Before you head over

Helpful tips on seating, takeaway setups, and portion sizes when ordering from Macleay Island Takeaway.

  • Bring insect repellent for outdoor seating

    While there is limited outdoor seating available, bring insect repellent to stay comfortable if dining outside on the island.

  • Opt for takeaway over dining on-site

    Takeaway is the primary and most comfortable setup, as on-site outdoor seating is basic and close to smoking areas.

  • Plan for generous portions and leftovers

    Portions are generous and fish servings are substantial, leaving plenty of leftovers for a second meal or late-night snack.
