Cranmore Fish Bar in Solihull

Visited this fish and chip bar at about 7pm yesterday. There were two people ahead of me. I was served very efficiently and I felt. The food however was very disappointing. Both the fish and chips were greasy particularly the chips seemed to have been sitting in grease for rather a long time.I'm no expert in this field as I only frequent such bars about twice a year but for what was a 'treat' to myself turned out to be a very disappointing greasy mess.I remember, in the past, when my family were younger and we had fish and chips fairly regularly you could see the fish and chips before they were wrapped up, had I been able to do this I would have asked for my money back.Another thought: could it be something to do with the fact that I'm not a 'regular' so I was served the leftovers?? Just a thought.Overall a very disappointing meal.

We've been going here for many years and honestly it's the best chippy around - The prices have gone up quite a lot over the past couple of years but the food is very good and as proof, it's always very busy! The online ordering & collection system is also very efficient.

Waited for large cod and chips and curry sauce. A long wait and people after me came and went. My guess is that large cod takes longer. But it was over cooked and the fish stuck to the batter. Chips below par tail end.

My favorite go to chippy. Fish fried fresh to order and and generous helping of chips.

Disgraceful. Stale chips and greasy fish. Made Louis’ coat permanently greasy. Also very overpriced. Don’t go and keep your money!

A very good fish and chip fryer. The fish is cooked as you order it, so a short wait, but worth it.

Staff are friendly and the service very quick. Can get busy at times but wait times are normally minimal.The food is fresh, with a lot of the items cooked to order. This can increase wait time over other fish and chip shops but the quality is worth the wait.

Excellent all round, the cocktail menu feels locally based, the oysters are to die for, the oyster skewers are worth the hype. The fish and chips are described as "proper", but the chips aren't really chippie-like (they're more crispy/fried than an English chippy, not that that's a bad thing at all, they just aren't the same thing). Really everything is delicious and you should go. Don't sleep on the things that sound a little more boring!!

Happy new year especially to the staff that were there today very friendly and so helpful !!!Thank you soo much for staying open for a few minutes and cooking 8 mini fish and chips they were delicious and the family really enjoyed them especially as some of them hadn’t had your fish and chips before ( they will now) I would have taken a photo but they ate them too quickly 🤣🤣🤣

First came here to try a different chippy. The fish & chips is easily the best I've had for a very long time. The large is massive but the batter is spot on not too soft, not too crispy. The fish is lovely too. Love that you get the option of mushy peas, curry sauce etc as part of your order. At £9/£10 for a large it's a bit more than you would usually pay but 100% worth it.
