fanaris fish bar in Bromsgrove

The food was lovely but the atmosphere you could cut with a knife all the workers look like they would rather be anywhere else and the man has a face like thunder it is a shame as if your spending your cash you expect at least manors I mean no one partially loves work but my gosh it was awful if you don’t want to work there leave or employer people with good customer service skills

Best fish in this area. Nice staff quick service overall best choice for fish and fish.

Lovely fish and chips, kebab delicious, friendly staff and good value for money

My favourite fish shop delicious food large portions and friendly staff

Havent been here for a few years not realy local. But my visit today was awsome. Treated like an old friend. Had a good chat while waiting a few minutes for my fish to cook. Great value huge portions and i mean service with a smile. Thank you for being so polite and curtious. See you next week 👍🏻

Very good food. Fast service. Highly recommended

Amazing Food & Service Would Deffo Recommend!

Always good chips when Pete (the old boss) was there. Now he’s gone and so have the good chips. Last 2 occasions chips looked and tasted like yesterday’s. Won’t be going again until things improve. *Update*: 28th June 2024 Haven’t been back to this chippy since I first reviewed it about 4 months ago. But recently heard there were new staff in and things had improved. So thought I’d give it another bash one Friday opening time. So it was new staff. Much more pleasant and switched on. Had to wait a few minutes for the fish & chips to be cooked. Which is a good sign in my book. Lovely fish and chips. The fish was superb! Flaky, soft, white and tasty! I did ask about the previous crew and what happened to them. I didn’t catch everything he said because of his accent. But I did catch the bit where he said they weren’t looking after the shop. Thank the lord we have a good local chippy back, as I don’t drive. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What a transformation since this shop has come under new management! The chips are super crispy and tasty, as is the fish, which is gorgeous, with lovely big flakes. Even the service seems better and friendlier. This place must be a future contender for best chippy in Brum

Food disgusting, undercooked tasteless over priced

Lovely friendly staff, nice chippy. Value for money

Great food, great service, great location and good hygiene one of the best chippies!!

Good food, service and location!

Great shop, clean and tidy , tasty hot food always , please take a visit

Great little chip shop, always a pleasure to visit , always perfect

Had the large fish and chips, absolutely class. Good chips and nice chunky cod in a light batter. Amazing at £9.90 but had a offer on at 50% off for Friday and Saturday due to under new management. So under £5 wow.

Love the food from Fanaris.Best chip shop in the area.Everything always taste very much fresh and the batter lite...

Old boss was great, very nice and friendly, been going to this chip shop since I was a kid and now I'm 21. Food used to be crispy and fresh and full of flavour New owners ramped up the prices, all whilst decreasing quality of food. Chips are now mushy, the new oil makes them taste like nothing, they reuse food that the old owner would throw out, don't eat fish myself but friends and family have all told me it has no flavour, is soggy and grey inside a lot of the time. Such a shame, feels like a good local chippy down the drain with incompetent people.

AVOID!!!! Awful service from the rude arrogant new owner and awful food, chips were like bullets, fish was soggy and Donner meat and was raw. Will be reporting this place to the food hygiene standards as they need to be closed down!!!

Go to may lane. It so so so much better, they gave me the wrong order, took 30 mins to cook my food, it’s dirty and unhygienic, staff can’t even understand each other properly and shout at one another. Don’t go!! Save ur money

After previously working at this chip shop for Pete for months, unfortunately he retired and I’ve now left as I could no longer work in that environment for the new boss, Talks to his staff like rubbish! Place is filthy, most of staff can’t speak English, all the old staff have left. The young Asian lad is an alcoholic and is cooking the fish! Really has gone down hill. Fish soggy, grey inside, meat dry, they put pies, chicken all in microwave and reuse food from a Saturday (which we normally threw everything)then on a Monday/Tuesday. Chips are dry and cooked with the fish so full of batter bits , they don’t change oil regularly. Lots of customers complaining and you try to tell the owner but he does not want to listen! The kitchen itself is disgusting it’s not been swept or mopped in weeks! They even defrost the haddock under hot water so don’t order that unless you want food poisoning ! They Water down vinegar, washing up liquid, sauces etc, nobody is food safety trained not even the people cooking the food so it’s all guess work! A reputable chip shop which has loyal regular customers has been ruined! Avoid at all costs

food very good ...delivery improved today

MISSING A PORTION OF CHIPS, FOOD WAS LUKE WARM, NO SALAD ON THE CHICKEN WRAP.

Best fish & chips in Worcestershire, try them & you will agree, lovely friendly couple who run shop.

Not had fish and chips for over two months. Went in. Quiet. Charged £10.90. Whilst I paid didn’t check what I was getting. Drove home 5 miles only to find I had a big bag of chips only. Went back but no apology. Got refund but horrendous experience.

Was there last week fish pale soggy yellow chips practically white won't b using again ,looks like new ownership ,think they need a class on customer service skills

I have been here on numerous occasions, and always found the food to be good, but went here last night and sad to say but the food is not up to the standard previously met. The fish batter was very soggy not crispy as it was before. Very disappointed. Where have all the staff gone too? The girls were excellent.

I have used Fanaris for years and always been very happy with the food and service. The girls that used to work there were superb and knew what we wanted before we asked as we were regulars. However went there a couple of weeks ago and was appalled at the lack of customer service and hygiene. We were served by a woman with long black hair, not tied back or covered, wearing a grubby looking vest who needs to find a new job. Unless they get the old girls back, in their professional looking uniforms with their hair under caps and great people skills, I won't be going back. For God's sake Pete, get the old crew back in, or you'll have no business.

To the black haired woman that just served me this evening: your attitude and people skills are disgusting. You slapped my change into my hands, you threw my food together and incorrectly too. No salt or vinegar. No thank yous. Yoy might be having a bad day but that's no excuse to treat customers so rudely. Absolutely appalled at that service. Never had a problem before. Won't be coming back.

Paid for food. Had to wait a little for the chips. This was no problem as there was in store entertainment of watching a fly crawling all over the kebab salad. Threw the chips away. Never going back.

We have just been to this chip shop and it was the worse dinner we have ever had. The chips were cold, the pie looked days old and the donner meat was not even cooked, it was slimy chunks of meat. Stay well away, discusting food

I went to this chippy as I was passing found the service okish but the chips were awful as though they had been cooked a previous day. So oily and burnt. The fish was just as bad. Price I paid was £11 for one cod and chips and a scallop. I would never ever recommend this chippy ever. So so disappointed

Chicken Balti Pie and Chips an eye popping £6.90. Disgusting!! Pie microwaved to concrete. Chips all scraps and bland tasting. Avoid Avoid Avoid.

This Fish & Chip shop has around for years and every time I've been it's never dipped in quality, food is always superb and staff are polite and friendly. They serve a decent mixed kebab as well as fish, thoroughly recommended stopping off here for a bite to eat! Fanaris keep it up guys!!

Great staff. Everything always taste very much fresh and the batter lite...

Friendly helpful staff and great fish and chips highly recommended.

Great chippy ! Highly Recommended AAAAA*****

The chips were pretty good, and the service was polite and friendly but honestly they are overpriced and need a lesson in the art of making a good "donner burger:" Toast your buns (just slightly), slice your tomatoes (not wedges)

The chips are amongst the best in the area. I cannot speak to anything else. Friendly staff.

Nice chips and food in general. Open at convenient times too which is a bonus. Thanks

Nice chip shop fresh and good. Price

Can only assume other reviews have never been to another chippy. Could name 10 within 2 miles better off the top of my head easy. Chicken meat looked days old swimming in grease, donor meat like rubber or plastic, chips overdone, portion sizes would make jesus blush for the price. Wouldnt feed it my dog would be worried his gut would disintegrate.

I guess we all feel “our chippy is best”, we have been using Fanaris for over 20 years and very happy they are still here for us. Lovely family owned business.

Polite staff and best fish and chips.

Good fish without batter. Friendly staff. Good chips.

Love the food from Fanaris. Not the cheapest chippy but you get what you pay for. Excellent. Fish. Doner kebabs. Chips to die for. Give it a try if only you do it once you will not be disappointed.

This was the best fish and chips I've ever had well worth a visit

Not a good experience today when one of the ladies behind the counter blanked me and allowed the man behind to jump to the front of the queue. Have no idea why. That was a shame as I am a regular and the food served is really good.

Monday 30th December on google says it’s open but went there and it was closed...... I Suggest you call before going as it will says open when it’s closed

The *best* take-away chicken kebab I know; always the best quality chicken. Fish and chips is reliably good here also.

Nice fish and chips and kebabs very good staff

Decent Fish and Chip shop. Good service.

Great food.from fish and chips to kebab meat .always nice and fresh and good service

All good chicken breast and chips 👍👍

Lovely freshly cooked Fish and Chips.

I drove from Gloucester to get your hips. Brilliant!!

Best Fish and Chips every time.

Order food over the phone, the guy who took order was rude. When arrived at shop to pick up order food wasn't ready and only started cooking my food when arrived at the shop.

Great kebabs, good clean chips, yum yum.

Alwys gud food here friendly staff

Friendly staff that provide good quality fish and chips as well as a variety of other products.

Absolutely amazing tasty fish and chips

Always served fresh fish and chips, good portions too won't go anywhere else..

Great chip's. Kebab meat is not consistent as sometimes the miserable old bloke who runs it will cut the meat so two thirds of the strip of meat is uncooked. This seems to be a money making tip which a lot of chip shops seem to be doing. Lunch time the staff seem to be polite but of an evening they are very miserable. Worth going to for the chips, they're probably the best in brum.

Awesome chippy what more can I sau

First rate chippy, good portion sizes,good menu.

Had chips from their on Saturday 19/12/15 at about 4 50 and when we got home started eating the chips to find a cigarette butt in there with batter all around it. If that's not bad enough, we then rang up to tell them and to ask where they get the chips ready and to warn them so it didn't happen in the future all they did was laugh down the phone and then made out we were lying (we have the pictures to prove it). So not only were we disappointed with the food we were also appalled with the customer service we received, Not once did we receive an apology.

Best chip shop in the area, you only have to see the queues at weekends. Superb fish and excellent chicken kebabs too. Never had a bad meal from here, highly recommended
