Coastal and Co. Takeaway

Coastal and Co. Takeaway is a fish-and-chips and burger takeaway on Vales Rd in Mannering Park, a few minutes' walk from the Lake Macquarie foreshore.

The setup. It's a takeaway shop with limited, mostly outdoor seating, so dogs are welcome on the footpath and at the outdoor tables on leash. There's no enclosed courtyard. Bring your own water bowl, it's primarily a grab-and-go counter rather than a sit-down cafe.

Known for. Fish cocktails, calamari, potato scallops and the "Coastal Six Pack", plus a well-rated Caesar salad. Open later on Friday and Saturday nights.

Getting there. 74 Vales Road, with street parking directly out front and in the surrounding residential streets. Flat, easy walking from the lakeside paths.

Nearby with the dogs. The Mannering Park waterfront and grassy foreshore are only a few minutes' walk away, with picnic tables that make a good spot to eat your takeaway with a leashed dog beside you.

When to go. Grab food here and eat it down at the foreshore rather than trying to seat a dog at the shopfront tables during a Friday or Saturday dinner rush, when the limited seating fills fast.
