Glascote Fish Bar in Tamworth

I have used this chip shop on many occasions and generally found the food to be above average, but tonight I was very disappointed in the quality of my meal. I ordered for collection using their web site for 20.05, the shop closes at 20.15, but that should not mean that the food quality is compromised. I ordered cod for myself, but the fish was not freshly cooked, it had the look and consistency of being sitting in the heated display unit for a long time. The batter on the fish was dried and hard and the fish was tasteless and rubbery. The chips and my wife's pie were passable, but not of the usual quality. If there is not enough time to cook an item of food to an acceptable standard then it should be taken off the menu and substandard food not passed on to the customer.

We always use George’s fish bar Glascote, Tamworth it’s a treat as in the present economy it isn’t cheap to get fish and chips anymore. We had three of the mini fish and chip specials as the portion size is good and sufficient for us. On this occasion the fish was horrible the batter was so hard as if it had been sat there all day and even the sausage that comes with the meal seemed dry as if it had been sat there far too long, the chips were fresh and the peas were ok but considering we didn’t collect until 7.30 you would of thought the fish would of been fresher. I did email them to say how disappointed we were but so far they have failed to reply which to me is bad customer service. Don’t think we will bother going there again which is a shame because it only takes one bad meal to put us off and the lack of communication.

Very busy good Friday... Little chaotic but got served by competent people who were managing to keep on top of it. Lots of local banter... The sausage with the mini fish was a pleasant surprise 😊❤️

Friendly staff, excellent chips! Always a queue, that says something!

Just had a kebab meat and chips from here, ordered a large and got home to find a measly portion, we have been going to George’s for three years now and the portions keep getting smaller and smaller, was so disappointed tonight that I will not be going back again.

I use this chippy once a week and have done for the last year, the food has always been great here, but tonight I had the pleasure of being served by one of the new staff which was a young male, he was fantastic with customer service and very well mannered. I ordered a large cod and chips, 2 southern fried chicken and 2 battered sausages, he had presented my food nicely and didn’t just throw it in the bag like most chip shops, most importantly the fish came separated to the chips which is a bigger winner for me! the fish was very large and fresh, the batter was lovely and crispy and it tasted amazing! I will stick to mini cod next time though as it was just to big it could feed two people easily, and the southern fried chicken was my partners and the skin was delicious and the chicken just fell to bits in your mouth it was .. in her words .. mouth watering. Overall if you haven’t got the gist already it’s an amazing chippy with amazing freshly served food. Keep up the good work you guys!

Visited Georges fish and chips today for an early dinner and we weren’t disappointed. Their food is perfectly cooked, served with a smile and piping hot by the time we got it home. The flavour in the kebabs is second to none, fresh off the grill and topped with crunchy salad and some chilli. Thank you Georges

Really enjoyed my chippy tea from here, the food was delicious as always and the staff were friendly and polite. The service was great. I would always recommend, as it's one of the best chip shops in Tamworth.

Always excellent, fresh food, always great service. I love the food and options available. Looking forward to my next chippy dinner x

I really did not think this chip shop could not improve upon perfection, they have added a click and collect which worked out perfect, as there is always a queue because of their popularity, my meal was ordered for 16.55 and I got there bang on time and true to their word it was wrapped and ready to go, it meant no queuing. I would also like to congratulate George for employing top quality staff, they always have a smile and happy to serve,so to all concerned a big thank you.

All I can say is I drive past 3 other chip shops to get there and always have to wait in a queue, despite the fact they are serving at lightning speed. Can’t fault the place. 👍

had a mixed kebab. not enough meat at all. for mamoth price. Same with the chips. not worth queing for im afraid.

Everytime we go we get excellent service and food, staff are lovely and chatty. Never had a bad experience here and wouldn't use any other chippy.

The best F&C place in Tamworth and worth the trip to miss some others nearer home in the town! Always welcoming and friendly staff with a good range of classic (and other) quality fare that is freshly prepared and well-cooked. Portions are more than generous; the "specials" options are a favourite.

Been a regular here over the years and love the specials, but was very disapointed on a visit last Thursday, i think there is new staff as the portions was a lot smaller than before but there was too much peas on mine and too much curry sauce on the other meal It wont stop me going back but please get the training right

Brilliant food, fantastic family run fish bar. Reasonably priced quick to serve food super fresh. Parking close by. what’s not to love 😃

Good portions, friendly staff, quality food. Would always recommend. Would rather travel to this chippy then one close by as I know im going to have a nice meal.

Friendly staff. Good portion sizes, and quality food. A very good chippy. Can happily recommend. Give it a fry.

Well what can I say about this chip shop. From the service to the food excellent. The shop is proud of it being a family business and it's displayed clearly. The staff are trained very well pleasant at all times and this shop gets busy.

This is a family run business who are passionate about delivering excellent food I would highly recommend a visit!

Get fish and chips for mum when ever we come down from Yorkshire Good portions, well cooked good value. Always served with a smile

Always great food, served with a smile. Clean, newly renovated interior with prices and offers clearly displayed.

You may have to queue for the fish and chips but they are the Best love this place family run business

I was hungry so stoped for a bag of chips they looked alful and after 4 chips I had to put them in the bin before they made me bad.

Every week we always look forward to Friday for fish & chips.They come from The Glascote Fish Bar.Which is now called "George's" who is a lovely fellow.The Fish & Chips from there in my opinion have got to be the best in Tamworth.The service there is great and the lovely Ladies who serve you are fantastic.Always obliging and very helpful.The mini fish special is great and good value.They have a good menu and everything i have tried has always been very good.Can also recommend their Chinese curry sauce.Great poured all over your chips.With large orders you get free cans of pop.They are always busy, but don't let that stop you make Friday night, chip night and give "George's" a visit.I think it has got to be done.So go and enjoy.

I must admit the mini fish special is by far one the nicest I've eaten, always a lot of people buying from this chip shop says its worth the wait.

Ahora se llama George's, el bar de pescado sigue siendo fantástico en todos los aspectos. Muchos artículos gratis con un gran orden. El servicio es genial. custer

Siempre comida fresca a precios competitivos muy bien preparado. El extenso menú siempre nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos. Sus fichas de pollo frito sureño tan poco como una libra genial para los niños y jubilados

Siempre una encantadora y gran cena! ! El pescado es prefecto de tamaño en la mini especial y conseguir mucho! ! Los niños comparten una y para ser sincero, podría. . . . pero no!

Popped into here for a late lunch... wanted a large fish and chips and a chicken burger and chips... fish had ran out so they fried a fresh one... along with a fresh chicken burger which was fine. During my 7 min wait i couldnt help but notice the lady server in there kept scratching her hair and touching her face then go straight onto toasting the bun and dressing it with salad and sauce without washing her hands first...neither were any gloves worn... put me off a little to say the least. Meanwhile the guy (possibly the owner but looked more like a handyman) came into the frying station and started frying food... placing his mobile phone on the food prep table...then handled his phone and continued working...Unhygienic? Did put me off to be honest as phones harbour the most germs!Staff friendly if not a little awkward.Been there twice now... 1st time the food was like it had been stored in the cabinet for hours... this time i went it was fresh however once arrived home and unwrapped it...it was just stodge, would have been better eating it with a spoon :/ Wouldnt visit again...food seems to be either over cooked or undercooked... there is no middle ground!

Very good food at good pricesHave loads of specials and friendly fast service would recommend this chip shop

Glascote Fish Bar offers a good selection of takeaway food. Their fish is delicious and they are a friendly bunch and easy to talk to! Clean premises and good prices

Regular here, we often as a family have what we call a Glascote Tray, mini fish, sausage, chips and peas or curry for 3.70, and the mixed kebab meat with chips for 3.80always busy, always hot and very tasty got a 8 year old wanting doner meat all the time nowrecommend it

We use this chip shop all the time and never had a bad meal to date. The staff are friendly and everything I have tried has been excellently cooked and not left on the warming plates.

What can i say this really is the best chippy i have been to. Top quality generous portions as well as an abundance of beautiful ladies serving who always have a smile on there face. The only negative i can say about the place is that 9 times out of 10 your queuing out the door.

This is my local chip shop but have always gone to Bolehall chip shop so wanted to try Glascote instead. The first time I went I noticed that the prices were very high in comparison to other fish and chip shops but thought that I would buy the chips anyway. Chips were warm but undercooked. Thought that it may have been a one off so tried again and they were the same. I was in a rush last week so went in to get a portion of chips for lunch, purchased a large chips which were extortionately priced and when I opened then I was shocked to see that there were so few chips. There were literally less than a cone of chips and were, again, undercooked.The staff were just about friendly.I haven't visited since and have now decided to visit Fazeley fish bar in the future as the chips are much nicer, better value for money and always boiling hot.

Seriously is the best chippy in Tamworth. It's always busy for good reason (though they serve the queue quickly). Proper fish, delicious batter and fantastic crispy chips!

Excellent fish shop consistent good food ! The staff are very friendly and give the kids a treat whilst you are waiting. Sometimes there is a very large queue but don't let this put you off as they serve very quickly and the queue soon goes down. It is testament to the quality of the place. A regular bag of chips is quite big so if you are not a big eater ask for a cone ! The cod is always good quality and you can get a good size in the large portion.

We always go to Glascote Fish Bar - excellent fish - different sizes available - loads of chips - plenty to choose from - service and quality second to none

visit here regula ,, fish and chips ,, very tasty,, all dishes are great,, service with a smile.. and a reasonable price.. 10/10

We always use this fish bar when treating ourselves to fish and chips and has the added bonus of having a delivery service which is great.Order is always what we wanted, hot food, pleasant quick service and never had a problem with any orders we have placed.

The best fish and chips in Tamworth by far! Nice and clean and lovely friendly staff. There's always a queue which says it all really. We won't go anywhere else! :-)

Have had fish and chips here many times and never been disappointed. Yesterday's were so good that worth a review. Never had better battered fish either take away or in a restaurant. I pass another chippie to go here which says it all.

Had fish and chips from here a few days ago, and they were lovely. Nice and crisp, not greasy......current sauce was excellent too. Service really good. Had to wait for Chios but not long and nice to have them fresh. Busy too so obviously no secret!
