As they say – location, location, location! And Mollymook Beach Hut has it in spades. Attached to the surf lifesaving club at the southern end of Mollymook Beach, the Beach Hut pulls in the crowds as it is the quintessential Aussie fish ‘n’ chip shop where you can get a classic hamburger, an ice cream, and a coffee, as well as pick up a hat or sun screen. It’s well patronised by locals and visitors alike and with the close proximity to the beach, it’s easy to understand why. We’ve beat the mid morning rush, just, and can only imagine how popular this place is in the summer holidays. Not long out of the oven, the scones are light and fluffy, but joined together like some sort of scone cake. There’s not quite enough of the average jam or the fly away cream, but at least it’s fresh, probably Dairy Whip, which is at least 97 per cent ‘real’ cream.

Tea: A basic selection of Tea Pigs (love the name) silk pyramid tea bags served in a mug, unless you ask for a pot.

Overall: Beach shack casual in a killer location.
