About Seaside Spit

Just off Beach Road, Seaside Spit turns out real charcoal-roasted yiros and battered coastal catch with warm, family-style care. Thick wraps come stuffed with smoky spit-roasted lamb or chicken and hot chips, alongside hefty South Australian AB packs layered with house sauces. Crispy King George whiting and a dedicated vegan meat menu make sure mixed crews leave full, often with a surprise dish of chocolate mousse sent over from the counter.

  • Charcoal Spit Grill: Lamb and chicken slow-turn over real charcoal coals rather than gas broilers, loaded into wraps with hot chips or plated as mixed grills.
  • Inclusive Seaside Counter: Alongside battered King George whiting and yiros, a dedicated plant-based lineup offers vegan meat proteins and falafel.
  • Thoughtful Local Hospitality: Counters run with personal warmth, often wrapping orders with unexpected touches like complimentary chocolate mousse.

    Hospitality extends past transactional service, with staff preparing off-schedule items or checking in on tables to ensure guests leave satisfied.
