Balsall Fish Bar in Solihull

Balsall Fish Bar is first class in virtually every aspect: clean, modern, with friendly and obliging staff.The fayre served up here - though not 'cheapo' - is always delicious and beautifully cooked.Also, they accept cash OR card and provide a receipt.You can pre-order by phone and collect from a tiny counter directly opposite the entrance door; convenient and can save time.*UPDATE*Unfortunately, last meal purchased chips were 'under par' (mushy and greasy consistency). Some new staff members, so perhaps a 'one off'; will update again next visit.

The place is total rip off and the food is hit and miss,But they have the monopoly round here and good job as another chip in balsall common would easily take 60% of there trade,nearly forgot too mention complained about lamb kebab the once which I’d bought with chips,after giving me filthy look and showing how un happy he was he decided he would change the kebab and made me pay for chips,I’ve know choice to shop there but would never give it any pluses in review

Chips were very dry like they had been sitting for a long time, not sure how they can get away with giving people such poor food, wondering how a chip shop like this is able to continue to serve such awful food!!!also very expensive £3.30 for a cone of chips and a Small mushy peas, I will be avoiding this place in future and recommend others to do the same!

Good quality, freshly cooked fish, chips a cut above average 👍

Great chippy, great food but priced are on the increase

A Very Good Chippy! Fresh crispy fish and good quality chips.

Very good takeaway. If you don't like/want too much batter on your fish, they will remove the excess before frying. Other half always chooses fried fresh chicken portion and says never disappoints.

Not a very good chip shop. Usually their chips (and other food items) appear to be very dry. I usually travel elsewhere to find better food, as unfortunately this shop does not have any direct local competition and have a captive market. I think their products are overpriced and over cooked..... We've tried the chippy again after 7 months, still reviewed as ^It's now the end of 2021, tried the chippy again. Still a poor 2 star effort. I really should learn to not go here as I'm always disappointed with the food, but when desperate.......I'd suggest driving a few miles to Tile Hill and using Beech Tree Fish Bar, CV4 9FE. Loads better than here and imo well worth the time and effort.

Overpriced. Cod was nice but rectangular as if it came out of a box. I was going to have haddock but oil dripped out of it when staff struggled to pick it up. Chips were horrible, dried out and tasteless.

Absolutely disgraceful service. I placed an order over the phone for collection. When I went to pick my food up they had given it to somebody else and they had no fish left. They were not understanding or sorry at all and made me feel like they didn't want my custom. It ruined my evening. To make it worse, this is the 2nd time they have messed up - a few months ago I rang to ask what time they closed, we turned up 30 minutes before this and they had shut and locked their doors and again were really rude and unapologetic and did not care or want my custom. They think they're the only fish bar in Balsall Common so they can do what they want and treat customers how they want as they think people will always come here. Well I certainly will never be going back and will be going instead to Meriden Fish and Chips which is only 8 minutes away. Would give 0 stars if possible. Stay away!!!
