Flying Fish in Redditch

I asked for a chip butty and got the response- I can do you a chip cob! I replied well it s the same thing . How rude I thought . I asked for bap , butty , cob whatever you want to call it could I have it buttered and was told no . I said well it wasn’t a problem before. The reply was I’ve been away . I mean really what has that got to do with it I thought . Very rude Person serving . I certainly will not be back again . You can stuff your cobs were the sun don’t shine !

Outstanding service great food back soon 😀

Beautiful fish & chips from here last night, The service was amazing. First time we had used this chippy & it won’t be the last.. quality food

It's excellent. Specially the kebabs

DONT Bother going to Astwood bank chippy. £20 for this lot. Supposed to be 2 x special kebabs. The special kebab comprises of 1 tray of chicken meat. 1 tray of kebab meat 1 portion of chips 1 pitta I opted not to have the pitta as we have wraps at home. I was told this was 2 x kebab specials when it's clearly 1 x kebab special. I said the the lady behind that this is only 1 and she quite clearly told that it's 2. I told her that I had one a few weeks ago and the owner served me and told me what is in the special. She persisted to tell me that he was wrong and didn't know what he was talking about. . I am now £10 down and not enough to feed the amount expected. Will not be using these again

Gorgous food and the staff are friendly

Always a pleasure to visit the shop excellent service with good food and large portions.

We have just moved to Morton Hall Lane and fancied Pie and chips, it was delicious 👌

The quality of this fish and chip shop has unfortunately gone down hill over the past 18months, I have been plenty of times in the hope they would turn it around. But it’s the shear cost of eating here does not justify the quality.. it’s a real Shame as it used to be a really good chip shop.

Very tasty Fish and Chips ,Never visited before but will be back again soon

I discovered this chip shop around 2-3 years ago and being Gluten intolerant I would frequent on a Tuesday for my evening meal once in a while. I visited twice in the past couple of months and the foods has been well below the usual standards. I suspect new owners have taken over as the overall food and hygiene appears to have gone down hill. I won't be returning. If the owners read this then please take note and respond to the people who are reflecting on your business. We are not moaning becuase we like moaning, we are moaning becuase your product and service are below standards. You have a choice but if you continue to ignore your customers I fear you won't have a business.

Best takeaway for fish and chips. A large cod with chips is "almost " too much!

Raw uncooked chips on 2 orders of cod and chips costing £25

Food is amazing ! Fresh fish and big portions as well 👌👌👌

Alright, so here's the tea about our latest adventure with your fish and chips spot. We're kinda like VIPs here, but not for the reasons you'd hope. Our orders love playing hide and seek, and guess what? This time, the battered sausage decided it was its turn to vanish. Now, losing a sausage isn't headline news, but when it's for your kid's mate, it's a bit of a pickle. We rang you up, and props to the person on the line for being chill about it. But here's where it gets spicy: we pop back in, and bam, we're basically accused of having an imaginary sausage friend by your blue-haired sentinel at the front. Luckily, another hero behind the counter saved the day with the missing link. Look, we get it, mistakes happen, but your crew's vibe can make or break it for us. This whole saga has us rethinking our foodie loyalty. Just some food for thought

I would put up a picture but I ate it too fast stopping by here at about 8:00 on a weeknight working locally as a plumber we were starving the lad and I to begin with slightly taken aback by the prices but quickly realised it was worth the money the quality was fantastic the service friendly and I believe the business is family owned we'll definitely be back and with the rising costs of ingredients it's probably not even that expensive great guys great food thanks very much

Seems to have gone downhill recently. The chips had been sitting for quite a while and you can tell the oil was dirty. Disappointing, it used to be really good a year ago.

Pop in on the way home from visiting a relative at Worcester hospital. Ordered mini fish and chips and was told minimum £10 spending fee with card so added a bottle of coke and large fish and chips as well, price was over £23 the fish was as dry as the Sahara desert and the chips weren't great either, most of it was thrown in the bin which was disappointing because I was told it was a good chippy clearly not ,felt like I was ripped off, should of went to my local chippy in winyates 100 times better quality.

Great service. Yummy hot fish and chips 😋

From a long time customer of The Flying Fish; this experience alone has completely ruined our relationship with this place and we will not be returning. Having purchased a relatively simple order at midday on a Saturday, when I might add we perhaps were the only customers, half of the order was missing, £13.70 worth of a £27 order not provided. We were shocked at the sudden drop in the quality of the food, the chips were as dry as the proverbial Gobi desert and there was a mystery “dirt” garnish; an optional extra we were not expecting. The nuggets were like miniature hand grenades, of sub-par quality, a fraction of the greatness they once were, in the past they were literally amazing, not so these days. The cheesy chips were hardly what you would call “cheesy” either, having just a few flakes thrown on top was measly at best. Why this sudden poor experience? A change of ownership? We are totally baffled and very disappointed. Given the relatively quiet time of day, I am at a loss to think why this has all occurred. On finding half of the order missing, I did drive back to the shop and was offered a refund for the missing food. On arriving back home, again, we discovered the aforementioned mystery dirt and I couldn’t bring myself to go back. The crows, however, were less fussy and enjoyed the meal. One star for the food. Two stars for the service - due to the fact we actually got some food and a refund was offered.

A great fish and chip shop. Very professional.

no salt on chips, didn't even ask! chips were cold aswell and couldn't hear the guy at the counter. very lazy work. 1 star.

We have used The flying Fish for a few years…making a 15 minute journey as always serve good quality food! So disappointed today both pieces of cod were the size of a mini fish and the batter really thick! Cutting corners but charging full price! Such a shame!

Went here when my usual chippy was closed and wow its batter than them. You can only rate a chippy on the last time you went so for now it's 5stars hopefully this will always be the case. I had donner kebab meat. cod. Chips. And jumbo sausage. Sadly the last visit wasn’t so good cod was greasy and kebab was tasteless, no more visits from me here time find another place.

Was working around 20 mins away from here and when passing the lads stopped off for food. Asked me and i asked for some fish. Lasds ordered and paid for the food and on arrival back at work the fish was not in the bag. How difficult can it be to forget 1 of the 4 things you order 🤔 Called them up and they wanted me to travel 20 minutes back to them to pick it up but no thanks I have work to do so not willing to travel back to you! Keep my money, use it to hopefully pay for some better staff!

Awesome fish and chip shop, good size portions and very nice food

Huge portions, friendly staff and quality food. Only 4* due to forgetting to pack the curry sauce that had been paid for. I’m sure this would have been sorted but I realised when I got home and didn’t want to do the 20 minute round trip again. Would recommend this takeaway for sure.

Great glutton free fish and chips. Will definitely go again.

Amazing chippy....I used to own & run my own & THIS fish & chip shop is the sort I wish I'd had myself... The food is cooked superbly, the man has 40 years experience & it shows, & tastes delicious, the chips, the fish, all done & cooked to perfection... Great staff, friendly helpful & the portions are good... We have two chippys in our village but I myself come to this one.. I guarantee, seriously, you won't be disappointed...

Good little chippy. Quite quick service and fairly reasonable pricing.

Hard workers, great kebab special and thought it would have cost more than it did 😁

The food was good, however, the young blonde server her customer service and attitude was appalling. After waiting 15 mins for the food asked how long would it be, her response ‘I don’t know I’m not the chef’ defensively. Think twice before going half a hour before closing as this would be cooked on demand.

Fantastic chip shop. We got there quite late on Saturday evening, thinking there wouldn't be much left but Zac made sure everything we asked for was served. Nothing was a problem and the food was amazing

Amazing food and staff as always

Long wait, but can be expensive

Need to re mortgage after coming here cold food and miserable staff won’t be returning

Was passing through, it's not my local chip shop but was good fish and chips lots of them with friendly staff. It's a bit pricey but aren't they all now with the price of fuel

We visited the local area for the weekend and popped into this chippy as it was close. We ordered a couple of different things off the menu, the fish batter was fluffy, the kebab meat wasn't greasy and the naan bread was the best I've ever had. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Very good fish and chips! Would have been 5 stars . but they were let down on cost not quantity or quality —— not cheap

Friendly staff, nice spicy balls 👌

Fantastic fish and chips cooked fresh to order.

Lovely food, friendly fast service.

Great fish and chips. Good quality and good value. Served with a cheery smile

First time ever going here tonight possible the worst chicken and chips ever served to man kind salty and burnt to a crisp chicken wasn't even able to eat it and the chips was stodgy and full of grease how they have 4.5 I will never know very disappointing

First visit and was delighted with both the service and the food, definitely will return.

Frequently drive 15 mins past countless other chippys to go here. Great food.

Great chips and cod best in area

Went there today because my local chippy was closed and wow this blows it away, never again will I go local, I will travel a little further for this. Had kebab meat tray chips suasage and curry sauce big portions and very tasty. Five stars.

Quick pleasant service by staff. Excellent fish and chips. Could not fault them..Did not have to wait long. Brill

Hood food good service reasonable prices

Best chippy around!!! Fresh food great staff

The food from here is great everytime we go, we order from here regularly as the chips are very nice and my husband loves the kebabs from here. Due to going regularly the staff member know what we normally order and put things in to cool especially for us, the chip portions are large and very tasty, they can get very busy so I advise ordering in advance and collecting it as sometimes the queue can be out the door

Usually....the best fish and chips around. Last visit on Friday 15th July was awful....soggy chips and a piece of plaice that had been abliterated in extra thick batter.

I love this chippy wide selection

Very nice food fresh fich and chips clear place and frieldly people!! Will see us again!

Very nice fresh food, with very helpful and polite staff and mainly very clean !! You will definitely see us again !! Good work

Great staff, very friendly, food was nice too.

Enormous portion couldn’t finish my mixed kebab in naan. Chips and curry sauce was spot on best chippy in Redditch!

I visited England last week and said to try the traditional Fish & Chips food. By chance I walked into this restaurant. The food was perfect. Nicer than I exlected. The portions are very large. And the staff is very helpful. For a week when i was in England I ate in the same restaurant because i like it very much. I tried almost all of his dishes. It was all great.

Very tasty fish and chips and very good service, Would definitely visit again

Excellent fish & chips! perfectly fried to crispy golden perfection. great portions to satisfy everyone. Prefer to travel a little longer to eat here again. The quality is in the chef and the ingredients!

Friendly staff, The best chippy in town!!!

First time and last time 17.50 for 2 mini fish and chips with curry sauce. The fish was overcooked on the outside and was under cooked on the inside. The staff were friendly. Couldn't be bothered to drive back to get a refund

My beloved chip shop, it’s been awhile but wow prices through the roof, cod was tasteless and chips under cooked, I’ve used for many years, and always great food but i was so disappointed Is it new oil?

Being new to Studley after many years abroad I thought I'd try this place. For some reason they served my cod and chips in a box, piled chips on top of my fish and pressed the box closed. When I got home the chips had been pressed into the cod and although the food was tasty it looked terrible, all mushed together. In view of the sky high price of fish and chips how about dropping these ridiculous boxes and pass the savings onto the customer, plus help with the global crisis in cardboard packaging?

Myself and my husband went to the flying fish this evening as we have done many times over the years. Unfortunately the service we received was way below par. We waited at the front of the queue for 15 minutes waiting for someone to take our order, there were at least six members of staff who were all busy dealing with telephone and internet orders. Nobody it seems thought that it might be good customer service to at least acknowledge that there were customers present. When we finally did get served it took several attempts to get the server to understand what I wanted. Needless to say, that was our final visit. COME BACK ZAC !!!

Realy good fried fish, chips aren't to greasy all round one of the nicest in our area and the ability to pre-order and pick up a big bounus on a busy friday

Freshy cooked produce, friendly staff but fish slightly undercooked and portion of chips in "mini fish and chips" small especially as prices gone up.

Chips just worm and part of the order missing

Excellent food and lovely staff. Light and crispy fish. Always way too many chips though, portion sizes could be smaller.

Opening hours said it was open today 12-2pm so drove up and its closed! Brilliant 👏

Fantastic fish and chips. Always great service

Brilliant chippy! Always busy but really well staffed.

Absolutely shocked this weekend at the price increase!!! No other chip shop in the area has put prices up to this extent. As much as I love the food I will not be going back now, at least until the inflated costs are sensible.

Lovely meal as always got to be one of the best chip shops in the Redditch area

The Flying Fish is a chip shop, to take-aways only. Been coming here for almost 25 years (as have prople from the next town) as the food is reliably excellent (only 1 visit in that 25 years has not been great). Well known for having long queues coming Friday tea-time. Generous portions, and due to COVID, you can call to place an order in advance if they have a slot, or join the queue. Me, I rate a takeaway on the food I take away, and pay less attention to the staff serving who have to slog it out over the fryers probably for little money, and have to serve us lot queueing and clamouring for their dinner.

Best chippy in Redditch - no doubt 👍 Everything is so fresh and delicious.

It's the finest fish and chip in the redditch area

Brilliant fish and chip shop. Lovely staff and the food is fab. We come from a coastal town where haddock is the fish of choice and we are not disappointed when we order it from here. It’s our local go to chippie!

Lovely chips and good size portions unlike my local at winyates

Fast, friendly and great fish and chips

Pie was hard throw it away chips where fine

Always lovely and never disappoints me. One of the best places to go and have fresh fish and chips

Great food great service friendly staff. Unfortunately it's not my local chip shop but I wish it was only get yo use it when I'm at my sisters 😔 definitely recommend 👍🏻

Great lovely chips and fish tastes so fresh

Purchased large cod and chips last night. Chips lovely, cod awful. Overcooked and dry, so went in the bin. Quite often the cod is Overcooked but this was the worst yet

Wonderful Fish and chips meal, freshly cooked served by pleasant staff. Perhaps slightly expensive but good quality food.

Best fish and chips in Redditch.

Best chippy in Redditch. The queues speak for itself, worth the wait!

Food is usually good here.I called to place an order was left on hold for 8 minutes at this point I put the phone down.I redialled for 20 minutes the phone was either engaged or noone answered.Sadly leaves my elderley parents with no dinner.

Excellent customer service and a special thank you to the staff member who made it much less embarrassing for me when my card payment failed due to fraud on my account. Highly recommended and will definitely be enjoying their food again 👍🏻👍🏻

Really nice food, great portions. Highly recommended.... Gluten free night every Tuesday 😍

Sign on front door clearly states only 3 people in at time and then the staff start calling more customers in, so now 4, where do you stop? Putting customers at risk not for me i'll shop elsewhere

Rude miserable staff , slow service , one girl serving just looked out of the window all the time Not even polite Food average would never go again and definitely would not reccomend

Went on their gluten free day. Fish was cooked fresh whilst I waited. Couldn't fault it food was lovely.

Great fish and chips plus cheerful pleasant staff

Always friendly staff and great comfort food.

I haven't tried the cod yet but by looking how fresh and tasty it looked definitely my next order, if the quality of the mixed kebab meat and chips I got tonight is anything to go by it's a must. Definitely recommend 👌 Yes had too wait when got there due to Covid-19 but yes give them a try everybody, I felt in a secure environment in the knowledge everything had been done by reading the signs and with what the takeaway has put in place.

Excellent staff and food, will definitely go again

Friendly, helpful staff and great fresh food!
