Stringers Sorrento Launches a Summer-Only Fish & Chips Pop-Up
If there’s one thing that defines a proper summer on the Mornington Peninsula, it’s a paper-wrapped bundle of fish and chips eaten with the salty breeze in your hair. This year, Stringers Sorrento is leaning into that nostalgia with a seasonal Fish & Chips pop-up, running all summer long from its Ocean Beach Road location.

Stringers Sorrento
Stringers has long been a go-to destination for Italian-influenced delicatessen selections, artisanal Neapolitan-style pizza, house-made gelato, and a thoughtfully curated cocktail programme. This seasonal pop-up, however, introduces a focus on classic seafood fare, reinforcing the venue’s connection to its coastal surroundings and further establishing its reputation as a versatile dining destination. By embracing a summer-only concept, the team at Stringers is not just expanding its menu but creating a distinct seasonal experience tailored to the warm, leisurely atmosphere of Sorrento.
The menu, though concise, prioritises quality and technique. The Battered Flathead is expertly prepared, achieving a perfect balance of a crisp, golden exterior and a tender, flaky interior and succulent texture, the Prawn Cocktail Rolls offer a contemporary take on a nostalgic favorite, and the Pacific Oysters provide a fresh, briny counterpart to the fried selections. Additional offerings include crispy potato cakes, golden chips cooked to perfection, and house-made tartare sauce that elevates each bite. Sourcing ingredients locally, the pop-up emphasizes both sustainability and the vibrant flavours associated with peak-season seafood, ensuring that every dish reflects the freshness of the region’s coastal produce.
Designed to cater to both dine-in and take-away preferences, the concept allows guests to enjoy their meals within the comfort of Stringers’ relaxed setting or take their selections to the picturesque coastline. Whether stopping by for a quick beachside lunch, grabbing a take-away meal to enjoy on the sand, or settling in for a casual evening bite with a cold drink in hand, this seasonal venture aligns seamlessly with the laid-back yet refined atmosphere of Sorrento. The simplicity of well-executed seafood dishes paired with the stunning ocean backdrop creates a summer experience that is both effortless and memorable.
Beyond the food, the Fish & Chips pop-up embodies the spirit of the season—leisurely afternoons spent by the water, impromptu picnics with friends, and the joy of eating something satisfyingly crisp and delicious while the waves crash nearby. Whether you’re a long-time resident or a day-tripper looking for a relaxed yet high-quality bite, this addition to Stringers' summer lineup is set to become a must-visit spot.
The Fish & Chips pop-up will operate daily from 11 AM to 4 PM Sunday through Thursday, with extended hours until 9 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. You can order on-site or call ahead on 03 5984 2010 to skip the wait.
For those who appreciate high-quality seafood in a quintessential summer setting, this limited-time offering presents an ideal opportunity to indulge in a refined take on a classic coastal tradition. If you’ve ever longed for the perfect beachside meal that captures the essence of summer, this is your chance to experience it at its best.
