Northern Soul was never just a music scene — it was devotion: rare 45s, all-nighters, stomping dancefloors from Manchester to Wigan. We bring that same fire to the fryer in St Kilda.

Our story

Manchester roots.
Melbourne fry.

Northern Soul culture was built on passion — collectors hunting obscure soul 45s, dancers spinning till dawn, clubs like the Twisted Wheel and Wigan Casino. That spirit of no shortcuts, all heart is how we run the fryer.

We're a proudly British- and Irish-inspired chippy with roots in Manchester, UK. That little caravan — neon badge blazing — became the foundation of Northern Soul. Now settled in St Kilda, still serving authentic chippy tea. Sorted.

The Northern Soul salute — devotion to the music, the dance, and doing things the right way. Same energy, different plate.

Soul Sessions

Chip shop by day.
Dancefloor after dark.

Like the all-nighters that defined Northern Soul, we open the room for rare grooves and DJ sets — Motown heat, stompers, and the occasional legend. Fatboy Slim played inside the shop — 19 March 2025.
