What if one of the state’s best fish and chippers took over the kitchen of the local RSL with their chef friend, quietly giving locals and day-trippers one more place to stop in sleepy Coledale? We don’t have to wonder, thanks to Ben Sinfield and Tania Ho, co-owners of Rosie’s Fish and Chips, who’ve teamed up with chef Rob Doll to helm the bistro at the volunteer-run club.

The bikies soaking up the sun with a schooner might raise an eyebrow at a $31.50 parmie ($30 for members), but these pub classics are slicker than your average: the parmigiana is capped with proper nap sauce, smoked ham and three cheeses and served with a fistful of rocket; beer-battered onion rings have unrivalled crunch; caesar salad is its own meal.

Meanwhile, blackboard specials and plates like Ulladulla tuna with buttery caper crunch push things even further. What a win.

Good to know: There’s plenty for grommets too, with bangers and mash, a schnitzel and fish and chips on the kids’ menu.
