Charlie's Plaice in Coventry

Fantastic As a Northerner with a local overpriced chip shop it's really nice when I get to travel around for work and go to different chip shops and see the price difference. It just goes to show my local chip shops are greedy on the prices as I've been to many other chip shops which are even cheaper some cheaper than this one. I had donna meat, chips and barbecue sauce and what can I say it was all very tasty. Good value.

Shocking experience! We tried this place before and it was good quality but now it’s just appalling. Fish greasy and not edible. Actually as you can see in the photos, we could barely find any fish… Waste of money and time.

Worse fish I've ever had, batter was rock solid and the bits that were abit softer the batter tasted stale like it was made hours ago.

Really bad quality fish. Overcooked and greasy. Unfortunately tasted of raw fish. The scallop was full of oil and hardly any potato in it. Considering paid over £13 expected a lot better

I made an order everything else was ok till I got my kebab and chips salad and what was supposed to be mayo I made sure I had mayo as I’m an allergic to chilli 🌶 the woman said yes you defo have mayo I opened it it looked lovely salad on top all is graet then I ate some meat that was within the salad so didn’t realise but had loads of chilli I am not happy And on way to get checked in hospital will be putting in complaints

Super fish and chips. Excellent service everything is very tasty

I thought the chips needed cooking longer otherwise fine

What has happened to Charlie's Plaice, my food was cold, greasy, and had to state my order 3 times

Quick service and food was exceptional

The food has gone rite down hill

Recommend never using just eat or uber eats for here as you will end up paid £40 for food which totals less than £30. So in person is the best choice for here.

The fish had a bland taste. The chips , well, need to be a lot better cooked. Just greasy , not even crisp on the outside. And for the price. Wouldn't recommend.

Always really nice food and the staff are lovely too

Great fish and chips, staff are lovely

My chips were disgusting thay looked like thay was from lunch time all burn and had some chicken that looked like someone had stamped on it and cooked it, service was great but the price is a joke for what there serving

Superb delicious food excellent service best fish and chip shop in Coventry I'm a regular customer yummy yummy

Mini fish&chips mushy peas twice 7-00 fish must have been their since dinner time all stale batter been going their 20 years always recommended Charlie’s not any more

Staff that are lovely and very attentive well happy to have a chat and to work efficiently to get your order out quickly. That being said however it is very very expensive for typical chippy fair especially considering the area and competitors in the local vicinity who's quality is on part if not better at a much lower price point.

Excellent place, every time we eat from here is always freshly cooked, friendly and delicious 😋

Food was lovely, nice crispy batter and chips weren’t greasy. Staff very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us, will definitely be back

Won't Go Again. Didn't Really Enjoy The Chips, Had Much Better Elsewhere And I think Pie Chips Small Mushy Peas And A Pickled Onion For £ 8.50 is excessive.So HARRY'S In Coundon For Me.....

The service was good how ever what a highly priced chip shop. The curry sauce tubs are small and almost £2. The fish was not nice and the haddock and cod are way over priced and not much fish but a lot of batter. They did also forget my kids two mini cod. My bill came to over £61. Never have I ever had to pay that much for chip shop food. I’ll not be ever going back, the staff look cool but guys you really need to ramp up your game and bring those prices down. You’ve definitely lost us as customers. Nearly £4 for one large bags of chips, I ordered two of them, I could e have paid £3 at arena chip shop and they’re have given me the same in one portion against your two. Absolutely disgusting Charlie’s plaice, never again.

Now VERY EXPENSIVE ! The prices keep rising as the portions shrink ! R I P Charlie

Has it changed hands? ... really manky bits of thin fish purporting to be cod ... it must have taken days of practice to cut fish so thin .... new scruffy people in the shop and 2 bits of fish and 1 chips cost £20 ... NEVER AGAIN!

Always use Charlie's Plaice Best chippy in the city

Thanks for serving me some food poisoning yesterday guys. The doner meat was cold and the woman serving was a misery. 👌🏻

Really good, still the best in this side of Coventry

From the moment you walk in, to the moment you leave with your purchase, the service is excellent. The food is amazing, the staff are great. Charlies is 100% the best chippy in Cov.

The food is always good with good portions regardless of how busy they are. Peak times you can find a queue out of the door which itself is a testament to the food, however, lots of staff working hard to serve quickly. You can order ahead of time for collection or delivery.

Got this delivered on uber eats and after they were delivered and eat, they decided to send a message to us and say the vinegar was malt vinegar, and not gluten free. If you are gluten free, be wary of this.

Nice people and staff, fresh fish but batter was really hard and crispy was hard to bite, pork and stuffing batch was loaded but very bland and tasteles, chips were quite hard but not awful, kebab was okay but not the best we've had, can't say I will order the batch again but I wouldn't not give it another try inces it was just a bad day

Best chippy in town 10 out of 10 for me

Had a scollop batch, really big and tasty, staff was amazing

Best chippy in Coventry and staff really nice too.

I've just had fish & chips and it was awful didn't eat more than 5 chips the fish terrible, you can be sure I won't be eating from this terrible place again

Brill place, nice to see the chippy is still in business after the unfortunate death of the owner x

Lovely service,and my meal was excellent.

Very good fish and chips... recommended

Always busy with people. There was a slight wait as waiting for more chips but least that means they are fresh. The staff are friendly.

Nice, clean place and nice staff

Ordered a large order via Uber last night. Arrived with items missing. The staff couldn't have handled the issue any better. Within 5 minutes they personally delivered the items and gave extras. Food was also fantastic. We will be back as a result

Absolutely disgusted with the attitude of the staff in here the girl with the glasses and the fake tan her attitude really stinks my partner went down for dinner and they placed our order in a paper bag as everyone knows it’s been raining bad so the paper bags won’t hold nothing he left the shop took a few steps and the paper bag was soaked and ripped and went all over the floor so he went back in and then the woman said well I can re rap it for you are you joking me it’s got grit and everything on it we will definitely be sticking to wyken fish bar now at least there staff talk to the customers my partner would of paid for more food but the attitude of the woman mad him angry so he just walked out NEVER AGAIN…… sorry Charlie but you need different staff with a totally different attitude

Fab chippy, the kebabs are lovely

Good food but the staff make you feel awful. Very rude. I like the food but stay away cuz I feel very unwelcome in there. Despite me being polite and friendly as possible

Great food but rude and unfriendly staff

£10 for a portion of fish and chips and the batter was thick and under cooked. I won't be going back any time soon. I'm looking for another shop now. Also there is no parking, and I got fined £60 for parking at the Wheel car park!

Had a banging kebab from there.

Food is very good but since Uber eats delivers the bill has gone up haddock and chips is now £13was £10ish. Works out about £8 for delivery for fish and chips twice

Arriving back from holiday we thought a treat of Fish and Chips would round things off. Unfortunately we chose Charlies on Sewall Highway. I had cod and chips, my wife haddock and chips. The cod was non existent, only small bits of mush and the batter was awful just full of oil. The Fish and the chips were soaked in oil and soggy. My wife didn't fair much better. Both meals went in the bin. Not wanting to drive back to complain, I rang the shop to say how really disappointed we were and what they served us was a disgrace. To allow food to go out the door at such poor quality costing over £20 is unforgivable and they should have a look at themselves. To be honest, the reaction I got may not change things! At my age I have had many fish suppers. Even the bad ones were not as bad as what we experienced. They should visit some other chippy's to see how its done.

Travelled up from Torquay to Coventry to visit relatives placed a large delivery order mainly with cod and chips .AND EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT It was the best cod and chips we have had and there are good places in Torquay if it wasn't so far away we would make regular visits to Charlie's Plaice thank you Christine and Grant Donaldson Torquay

We always go to Charlie's at least once or twice a week, lately we have found the food either dried out or slightly burnt. Will not go there again

Foods good but it seems like there is more concern with the home deliveries, half hour to serve 5 people the other night

Fantastic fish and chips. Always consistent and well cooked. Highly recommended.

Best fish and chips in Coventry. The Chicken Fillet Burger is amazing!

Lovely chips.always piping hot.

Hands down, this is the best chippy, period! I've been going here since I was a kid. The staff are friendly, the prices are really good and the quality of the food is brilliant! Soo good in fact I don't mind travelling 45 minutes from home just to get something to eat!

Friendly staff. Plus dam good chicken

First time I've used this chip shop. Food is supurb I would highly reccomended this establishment.

Ordered some food on a busy Saturday - got home and the order was missing some chips from the mini fish and chips . Phoned the staff and they were apologetic and the missing item was sent to my address within 15 mins . Excellent customer service and food was lovely - could be the best chippy in Cov and I live near Aldermans Green chippy , ssssssssshhhhhhh

Chips were cooked perfectly nice and clean 👌 Recommended

Always fresh decent food. The cod is amazing

Best chippy in town. You can now order on line when you are told how long it will take for your order to be ready.

Can't fault this place food is always piping hot and delicious. Delivery driver is brilliant too

For a long time we have used this shop. shop. What on earth has happened today.???? Just after 4.30 . Evening opening time. My husband ordered two cod and chips and a portion of mushy peas. The carrier bag contained NO mush peas. The worst thing was the rest. The cod was long and very thin. Hardly any flakes of fish. . The chips were disgusting. Hard and sharp on the edges. It looked like they were 'refried' ???. After attempting to eat some of it most of it. went into the bin. What we did eat has left a coating of grease in our mouths. Wont be going again!!

Food was delicious and hot but delivery was atrocious! Next time will be collecting not using delivery

Lovely fish and chips for that I highly recommend. 👍 But the delivery driver.. Rude!!!

Food as usual amazing, delivery driver sucked, gave them a £2 tip said thank you. We all deserve thanks, however he tutted at me at discust, well thanks.

It's the best chippy in that area of coventry. 4/5

Best in Coventry, great service, excellent fish, and chips

One of my favourite chippy's!! We drive across town to come here! Staff are always lovely too

Simply the best!!great fish and chips lovely girls and boys

Really lovely fish and chips and the people who work there are really friendly.

It's the best chip shop in coventry very clean and not greasy chips lovley service too

I've had good fish&chips here before but my recent visit was very disappointing. I went at lunchtime on a Thursday and the piece of fish was much smaller than they have previously served and the chips were dried up and unpleasant. They were obviously standing too long and I did not enjoy the meal.

This is the first time I have used Charlie's place fish shop firstly the chips where soft not cooked right the fish was crispy but broke into bits very easily leaving cod on the plate all broken I was charged £18 for this when I go to the seaside I don't pay these prices a very unhappy customer will not being going back

Love the food and service best fish around

Great chippy was able to use a card for payment food was delicious. Staff very friendly when serving me

The customer service is horrible. The lady at the till was very rude to me and my partner. She literally shouting at us for standing near the store door . We where actually trying to keep social distancing where the shop is not following. Terrible and poor customer service.

The food was very good but the lady at the till was very rude. She was shouting at us when we stand on the door side of the shop. Very disappointed and very bad customer service.

Excellent British Chip Shop highly recommend it.

Always really nice fish and other food

Good place and excellent service.

Food is really very good but seriously let down by the poor attitude of staff. Miserable lady serving up, no smile or thank you on leaving. Think I will be finding another chip shop.

Best chippy. Great people. Well run.

After calling and paying online thinking this would be easy well was I wrong people in the queue were getting served well before and so we're delivery service it was so cold outside I have asthma and was not good so don't order online.didnt like the no mask in shop either.

I won't go anywhere else than this chippy the fish is just amazing aswel as the chips ,its a 10min drive but well worth it ,lovely staff to

so so simple to order ,food was superb ,came on time keep up the good work ..thank you

A great choice of quality food.

Best fish and chips in Coventry. FACT

Great chippie, got to be one of the best in Coventry.

Very good piece of fish and chips

Always on the money. Can't fault them.

Best chips in Coventry. Lovely friendly staff that take the busy periods in their stride.

Food at this shop is fabulous batter on fish fresh crispy so much choice the shop is so clean and staff happy and serve quickly

Not for kebabs - absolutely disaster, cold, dry, salty and expensive... Fish was great.

Normally a top quality shop. But during covid-19 neither member of staff or customer wore a mask, I was shocked when the staff lady told me " excuse me can you take your mask off I cannot hear you don't worry it's fine" telling me to take my mask if during a pandemic, that is unprofessional as it is stupid. With no enforcement in place, with a highly complacent staff, shame on you. Your continued business is questionable at best.

Best fish and chips in Coventry

The food is the most delicious i deeply recommend Charlie's place and the staff give a nice good service

It used to be well priced decent food but is now far too dear...50 pence change from a tenner for fish & chips and a tiny curry sauce.The fish was not fresh either.I will be Going back to a carvery and a beer for £8 up the Walsgrave...

I have just finished a long tiring shift on a maternity ward, not had time for a drink or food, I would like to thank the lady that just served me for her kind gesture
