Honey Pot Snack Bar

Honey Pot Snack Bar is a casual fish-and-chips takeaway at 29 Redcliffe Parade, directly across the road from the Redcliffe waterfront parklands. It is a quick-feed spot rather than a sit-down restaurant: a modest row of outdoor tables where dogs are welcome, and the grassed foreshore opposite acting as the real dining room for most people with a dog in tow.

The dog setup

Dogs on lead are welcome at the outdoor tables beside the shop, and the footpath frontage makes walk-up takeaway orders easy if your dog would rather keep moving. Bowls are not a given here, so bring your own water. The strength of the setup is location: the moment you have your paper-wrapped order, the foreshore path, lawns and benches across Redcliffe Parade are yours.

Worth knowing

The kitchen keeps it simple: fish and chips with a light, crispy batter that reviewers praise for being fresh rather than oily, plus calamari, burgers and combination packs. Hours run 10am to 5pm most days, from 9am Sundays, to 7pm Saturdays, closed Tuesdays, and the shop closes early on Wednesdays at 3pm. Lunch and early evening are the busiest stretches.

Getting there and parking

The shop sits on the main waterfront strip, with free street parking on Redcliffe Parade and public car parks along the foreshore. The paved path running the length of the peninsula is flat and easy with a dog, and the sea wall benches give you a table with a view of Moreton Bay.

Close by with the dogs

The Preece's near the jetty keeps sidewalk alfresco seating where dogs are welcome if you want a sit-down option, and the Clontarf dog beach a short drive north lets your dog off lead in the shallows before the chips. More venues around the state sit under QLD restaurants.
