Bays Fish Bar in Birmingham

Great food and good addition of Chinese food, sample we had was really nice.

Lovely owners. Great food. Introducing a new Chinese section and it’s amazing ☺️

I really don't like leaving negative comments about local businesses, however there was very little to be positive about from my visit. I arrived well before closing, asked for a regular fish & chips, a mini fish & a tinned roe. There was one piece of fish in the "heat" cabinet which didn't look particularly appetising which turned out to be the regular sized fish (oh lucky me!), the chips were cooked fresh along with the mini fish. By the time I got home (within 10 minutes of leaving) non of what I'd purchased was very warm, the freshly cooked chips included. The fish that was housed in the heat cabinet was very tough & flavourless. I also thought it was overpriced (or I was over charged). I wont be going back sadly.

Lovely soup dumplings I definitely recommend them

New chinese dishes are lovely, soup dumplings excellent. Wonderful friendly staff

I was pleasantly surprised to find delicious Chinese food at this fish and chips shop! The food was great, and the service was excellent. I’ll definitely come back next time and highly recommend it to families in the area.

Dumplings are amazing. Great portion sizes and very friendly staff. Highly recommended

Omg you HAVE to try the Chinese dumplings. We eat them in a lot of places but these take some beating. I urge to to try and buy. Lisa x

Had chicken and chips at 1pm on a Saturday chicken was dry, which has been reheated by the taste of it chips were soggy for £6 I was unable to finish my meal I won't be returning to this chip shop

Ordered a small chicken kebab in pitta and a small doner meat in pitta for myself and my partner. £6.35 each. My word these were the smallest kebabs I have ever seen. Quite tasty, but ridiculously small for the price paid. You know you've had a bad kebab when you finish in under 5 minutes and still feel hungry. In all honesty we felt as though we'd been robbed. Even in the shop a customer in front of us felt shortchanged over the size of his SF Chicken. A bitterly disappointing experience 😞

Great friendly place with good selection of food

Really lovely food. Great friendly staff. Will definitely be returning. :)

had wait food but sever/cook was un freindly still had no plastic forks food when finaly served was poor undercooked young lady was moody

Just had food from this chip shop walked in could see Chinese family sitting out the back. A young girl started my order but then clearly her friends entered the shop left my girl friends food to go cold sorted her friends then finished my order so my food not just expensive but went in the Bin.

Horrific delivery fee and completely overpriced!!!!! DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE

Went here for the first time, and ordered mini fish n chips and a piece of roe, oh & curry sauce,( it looked like a large piece of fish instead of mini ) absolutely delicious food fresh and the shop was clean and tidy, the staff were brilliant and chatty lol. Well worth the price, and definitely visit again, the best is......it's Halal

This place is absolutely rubbish. The chips are dry, the food over cooked and the price is not great either. If I were you I’d go somewhere else.

Now change of staff made a significant quality of this chippie,back to where it was outstanding. All Cooked fresh, this is now the number one chippie in great barr again. Great customer service. Worth the extra drive,amazing 👏

They delivered the correct order this time and it was lovely. Nice to see them back on track with their service. I hope it continues.

They used to be really nice but new Chinese owners mean the food has dropped in quality fast. Tonight I had chips and 80% were inedible, very hard and greasy. The battered items is sloppy batter, not crunchy at all, the Donner meat always feels undercooked. You used to get decent portions where a bag of chips would do a family and have left overs, now a large bag would do 2-3 portions. I'm done with this place now as the prices have risen but quality and quantity dropped And to top it off I had deep fried flies in the food, but didn't realise until I'd ate most of it. Won't return as long as they're in charge

Local chippy. Wasn't brilliant under previous ownership, unlike The Dolphin in Selly Oak, our previous local chip shop, but at least it was still enjoyable. Since new owner took over the quality has gone right down. Fish tonight had soft batter, chips not cooked properly worse meal we've ever had from there. At today's prices £14.49 for two of us will not be going there again, cheaper and more enjoyable to go to The Beeches. Time for the owners to shape up or throw in the towel

We have had the same order for some time now and we are never disappointed, always great food.

Fish and chips were of poor quality, tasting like they had been in the shop all day. Hopefully things will improve soon for they will lose alot of business

Maybe the staff shouldn’t ridicule their customers for being 2p short. Rude and offensive customer service. You deserved what was said.

They delivered the complete wrong order and I had to claim the money back through just eat. Usually they deliver fine but someone dropped the ball this time. They didn't slip up and forget something, they fell off a cliff and my correct order went with them. Really disappointed with such a huge mistake being made. Maybe put the address on the order bags in future because there was no label or way of identifying the order so clearly they mixed them up.

Nice clean shop, great choice, friendly staff

This has been my local chippie for years and the food was always lovely. The owners retired and it is under new ownership. They must have changed their suppliers for their chicken meat and lamb kebab and fish and in my opinion is dreadful.

Gone down hill since its been taken over

No doner meat on a friday at 7 pm .... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.. Harley's from now on for me😡😡

Good nice jockeys,food was hot roe was nice,curry sauce as it should be and a crackin pickle egg

Just purchased a doner in naan, the bread was absolutely rock hard and went straight in the bin. Will never visit again. Avoid.

Used to be the best chippy, in Great Barr, now gone down hill, all the staff seem fed up, one imparticular member of staff is so slow and when you ask to put something in the fryer she takes her time and you end up having to wait until she's ready. Place is also starting to look dirty as old owners used to be on the ball with their hygiene standards spotless, now there is dirt in areas. The last time I used it, there was a pigeon in there and when I told the owner his reply was "oh he's probably hungry" and he just left it there. I will never use the place again. Disgusting

Kebab was stunning. Packed full. Pitta done perfect. Highly recommend

The medium chips was a large portion of chips, a cone will suit me next time. Large cod fish, slightly odd taste. I have a cold so put it down mostly to that. Food was nice and hot and delivered by a friendly chap, with a smile.Will use again.

I presume I wrongly thought it came with chips, it did not. I will check the website because I only recall seeing a Cone. If so, it was very expensive for 2 pieces of SF Chicken & small peas. That aside, probably the best chicken I have had in a good while, so I will order again.

Food awful Service not very good or welcoming.

Was looking forward to fish and chips as heard good reviews, however went into shop and there was no civility at all couldn't even acknowledge I was in the shop 👎👎👎👎👎👎 Went round the corner to twin pizza 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Chips weren’t cooked like mush so much better when Pam was behind the cooker

£5.24 for jumbo sausage and chips a bit stiff for a dry sausage and chips not impressed

Lovely customer service and delicious fish and chips. Top notch

Horrible chips (mush) no texture, luck warm mush. Noticeable smaller portions at a ridiculous price. Chicken wasn't that great either. Served in a tiny white Box, tasted horrible, straight in my bin. Using this chip shop for years, NEVER again. The new owners must do a lot better if possible, can't see it. Notified after you have ordered & food is rapped. That the minimum spend paying by card is £5.00. Fair enough, but mention this before, or put a sign up. It feels like your tricked into spending more than you intended to. Pricey nasty food....🤢

So impressed with this place - my new go to chippy! Moved to the area 3 years ago and had been using another local chippy. It wasn't great. Everything here was fresh - chicken, chips, donner meat, and the double cheeseburger, wow! Bays have a new customer in me! 🍟

Very nice chippy , the staff are friendly , helpful and I would highly recommend going here if you live local or if you ever end up in the area

Not visited for a few months as it was a last option for a takeaway. Went in Monday as it was on my way home from work and was convenient, I'm so PLEASED I did!! I was the first customer as it had just opened.. was wandering if I'd be having the warm up afternoon chips. I got home and I had the best Chicken and chips I've ever eaten!! Chicken was better than KFC, chips were crunchy and fresh and to make things even better I could add batter scraps ❤️❤️❤️

Good chippy in this precinct of shops

Has the ownership changed recently? We went there a Few months ago and children had a proper choice including drink and lollipop etc. now, nothing other than reading me the specials for kids. Not impressed. No chicken pies available. Ordered mix meat and only given donner meat. Not inviting. Will not use again, a shame as they could be making a fortune whilst being kind to the community.

Previous owners great fish and chips lovely owners. Since new owners they lovely but the fish and chips not! Twice on separate occasions purchased fish and chips and the fish was dry and full of batter only! Won’t be purchasing again.

Nice chip shop, decent food and friendly staff,for those who think its expensive maybe classic would be more suitable for them

Nice fish and chip shop! Telephone ordering available. Nice food and lovely staff

Absolutely delicious! Great service, great fish and chips - recommended!

Meals were not so nice and tasty.

I go to chip shop food was discussed cold fish be there for hours

Not great, which was surprising as we've had food from here and its been ok. Then I found out it's been taken over. They need to go back to chip shop school (I know it exists as my FiL attended when he owned a chippy) and learn how to cook.!!!

New management. Chips are ok. Chicken meat has funny taste.

Nice local chippy and the staff are really nice and polite.

New owners place has gone down hill food is disgusting AVOID !!

The only thing we ordered that was edible was a spring roll. Chips were undercooked and the fish was just a greasy mush. Hugely disappointed.

Very friendly staff. Smells gorgeous as you are waiting. Very clean and tidy. Food is of the finest quality. Very impressed and have been a customer when I was young. 20 years+

I used this shop for the second time since it changed hands and after a first disastrous meal I have it a second chance unfortunately it hadn't improved the chips were undercooked and swimming in oil the fish was gey and fell apart as soon as the Mrs tried to plate it up the spring roll was just a greasy mush in pastry the service and staff are very nice and friendly it's just the food that let's it down that and the price as I see the prices have increased I'm afraid I won't be using this place again sorry

Had to use this chippy last night as our regular one was closed. Chips were so thin they were more like crisps. Hardly any fish in the batter. Get rid of the fancy boxes and carrier bags and charge your customers a fair price. Won't use again

One of the best chip shops I have been high quality food and really great friendly staff. Foods always made to a high standard

Place has decent food but a service with a smile would go a long way

Tasty food,friendly staff! Thank you!

Bit over priced but food was nice

Fish and chips are usually nice, the staff are also very friendly too. Thank you...

We now live in a different area, but make the journey so we can have there chips. We have tried others around us, but they is no comparison. Yum Yum Yum :)

Best fish and chips in north Birmingham

Good food excellent customer service 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Always have delicious food from here... the owners are very polite and have never had a bad meal from here

Been coming to bays ever since they opened. Would never go to another chippy the guys that run it are super nice and will always do the up most for the customers, never had a bad meal from here, an now that I've grown up there now great with my little one to just like when I was a kid, he loves the kids box great value. Always busy sign of a good place

Great fish and chips. Nice and clean place. Good value for money. What more can I say. Top place. 😀

Chips was dead 25 pence for tomato sauce, next time i rather go hungry or eat rat.

Always a warm and friendly reception

Moved into the area 18 months ago, after first visit we were hooked fantastic food and very welcoming staff, keep up the good work

Come here all the time. Kebab is delicious. Fish and Chips are great, you can tell they use very clean oil.

If you're going to get Fish and Chips, get it from Bays. Lovely family run business with a wide selection to choose from. The food is hot and tasty, the staff are friendly, and the service area is spotless. We've been using them for the last 20 years and never had a bad meal! Value for money is excellent. Would certainly recommend!

Best chip shop in great barr, such a caring couple

Fantastic, Family run local chippie. Food fantastic and always served with a smile 👍

Excellent staff and very hygienic. Not over crowded

Lovely staff and food. Always a pleasure visiting

Always eat from here, absolutely love the food and the people all friendly and welcoming, treat all their customers like friends! The food is yum yum and they dont scrimp on the portions either!

Every time we eat from here the fish just melts in your mouth. Absolutely one of the must go to places for fish and chops. I always find the chip portion too large for myself (personally) so share with my daughter (but not the fish :P )

Amazing chippy really tasty food 👍

I've used the shop a few times now and the cleanliness is excellent but the 2nd time I've had fish and chips in a few months and left disappointed over priced and very bland. Wont b going there again
