We’re launching 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐉𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲𝐟𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐋𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛 ~ a rotating series of weekday lunch specials created as a little thank you to the people who keep coming back, supporting local, and making The Jellyfish what it is.⁣

First up…⁣
𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐝𝐞𝐫 + 𝐚 𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐚𝐮𝐯𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐧 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜 ~ $𝟑𝟔⁣
Available 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝟏𝟏:𝟑𝟎𝐚𝐦–𝟐:𝟑𝟎𝐩𝐦 for a limited time.⁣

Rich, creamy chowder packed with seafood, paired with a crisp Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. The kind of lunch that makes a winter weekday feel a little more special.⁣

One bite and you’ll understand why it’s a local favourite...⁣

There’s a reason our 𝐅𝐢𝐬𝐡 & 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬 is one of the most ordered dishes on the menu.⁣

Beer-battered fish cooked until perfectly crisp, seasoned fries, house slaw and tangy tartare sauce ~ this is comfort food at its finest.⁣

Don’t just take our word for it ~ “The fish and chips were some of the best we have had, beautifully crisp batter, fresh fish and golden fries with a side of tangy tartare.”⁣
