Harvey's Fish Bar in Solihull

This place was recommended to me by a neighbour as we’d always used somewhere further away. That was a few years ago and we’ve been returning ever since. The quality of the food is exceptional. We always have large cod’s. The fish is always fresh, firm chunky flakes of delicious goodness in a crispy tasty batter with chips to match. Large cod is LARGE and the portion sizes are always good value. It’s run by a lovely couple who are always pleasant as are the girls that work for them. If they’re busy they’ve often given me a few chips to keep me going or kebab meat to try so I genuinely can’t fault the place and it will continue to be my go to chippy tea!

I ordered small fish and chips the fish was stale,and looked rank.

Great fish and chips the nicest in the area

Found the one guy there a bit aggressive and the chip portion could be a hell of a lot better in the meals, plus some of the stuff was burned. But other than that it's alright to be fair. Maybe I just got unlucky.

excellent food. First time ordering from there, I will be ordering many many more meals from there 😋

Some of the best fish & chips I’ve ever had. do not listen to the negative reviews there has been a HUGE misunderstanding. Honestly the quality of this fish & chips is unreal. if you think I am lying go and try it yourself , you will see. there is a group of people who have got into a disagreement with the Owners and it has led to the negative reviews being passed around but honestly speaking, I do not know them but one thing I can say is the quality of their food is top tier

The food was delicious the chips were very soft and the fish was fresh crispy and very nice. Defo recommend

Being aware of recent issues but not interested in what doesn't concern me I wasn't sure what to expect but our cod and chips was very good tonight, massive cod and good portion of chips, all cooked fresh. No complaint, just an observation but the chips needed bit more colour. Enjoyed em anyway. Thanks

If I could rate 0 stars I would. The female owner is RUDE and needs to learn how to treat people with respect. The food below standards along with the owners respect for others. AVOID AVOID AVOID

30 chippys within 5 miles choose anywhere else

Asked for battered fish.....instead a member of staff ended up getting battered by management

***DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE *** The staff do not treat workers fairly and they refuse to pay them. They clean the equipment with fairy washing up liquid and allow it to spill on to the food. The owner is abusive and I witnessed her slap a member of the public before throwing crude remarks at her in a foreign language. Please avoid this place, clay lane fish bar is a great alternative.

Saw a video on FB of the female owner bullying a young girl working there...pushing her and being mean. Local women had to go and get the girl out - she was in tears. Then they refused to pay her week's wage. I stopped going there as the food is expensive and not even nice - and I defo won't be going back now I know how they treat their staff.

Have food from here regularly, food is always freshly cooked , very good value going back for dinner tonight Be back as regular visitors

food was cold and unediable chicken was tough and very dry and chips were under cooked and black

Always cooked properly with real salad and big portions. A few pou d extra. But I tried the chip shop from the reviews. To be honest, the last two times I went there, I got home and threw the food in the bin. Chipstop was unedable, and for salad, all got an onion. I think they used the oil in their cars first before using on the cheapest potatoes they could get. But Harvey's has never let me down.

I only gave 1 star as zero stars is not a option I recently moved to the area over the weekend we decided to try Harvey's and I must say we will not be going here again. Very rude old lady behind the the till no customer service skills not welcoming at all. The young girl with the glasses was very friendly and polite. Other than that service shocking ..food not very nice and for the price absolute shocking won't be coming back.

This use to be a great chippy but has fallen to the ground .. horrible dry food tasteless Sylvia needs to be sacked or learn some customer service skills Do not recommend this chippy at all

Food didn’t arrive at all , no answer from restaurant number witch I try to reech

I only had this because my wife brought them in. If I knew she was going here I wouldn’t have had anything. I thought she was going to the Chip Stop further up Gospel Lane which serves decent food. The last and only other time I came here it was just as bad Horrible stale Luke warm chips, dry tasteless fish. Awful food. The Chip Stop further down the road is better by a mile. My advice is go there.

I’m a regular customer here the food is always very nice and the ladies there are friendly and welcoming just popped in for the mini fish special never fails to hit the spot I’m really not sure we’re all the negative reviews are coming from I love this chippy 👌

Rude owner. Chips are drier than dry

Rude staff, especially the owner , chips were absolutely awful dry and lack of them especially for the price , meat was greasy and like chewy rubber , NEVER VISIT

Fish wasn't even edible. Curry sauce wasn't sauce was just lumps. Chips undercooked. Was recommended this chippy never go there or recommend to anyone. Didn't eat food put in the bin.

Donner Meat On a Tray - simple yet satisfying. The meat was juicy, and the seasoning was on point. Great for a quick bite!

Donner Meat and Chips exceeded my expectations. The meat was generously portioned and seasoned to perfection. Paired with crispy chips, it was a delightful meal!

Chicken Tikka Meat and Chips were absolutely delicious. The chicken was tender and had a delicious smoky flavor from the grill. Paired with crispy chips, it was the perfect combination of flavors and textures.

If you want the best fish and chips in town, look no further than Harvey's. The food is always fresh, the portions are generous, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Five stars for excellence!

Harvey's Fish Bar never disappoints. The fish is always fresh and flavorful, the chips are perfectly crispy, and the service is always top-notch. Five stars for consistently great food and service!

Harvey's Fish Bar is a must-visit for seafood lovers. The fish is always cooked to perfection, the chips are crispy and golden, and the service is exceptional. Five stars for consistently great taste and quality!

Harvey's Fish Bar is a hidden gem! The fish is always fresh, the chips are perfectly crispy, and the service is top-notch. Definitely a five-star experience.

Hi Teonie Hall ,It was me who served you yday I'm sorry u thought the food was one star ,the chips I served you I had took out fresh while you was ther ,so I don't understand that comment and also you say the state of the toilet with potatoes I don't see how that can happen ,and also my manager wasn't in at the time so if you would could u plz explain the reason for such a review.

THERE IS NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE THIS SCRAGEND OF A MEAL!!!! Where do I begin the women owner is very rude probably should go back to school to learn about customer service skills and should smile more. The chips are rank and horrible so bad my bloody tooth chipped, and the state of my toilet couldn’t even make out the colour it once was.

Good lady clean shop nice food I 1000% back again

Good was cold , considering you are only 5 minutes away in a car

I'd give zero for atmosphere if it was available. The woman! I'm assuming owner. Wow is she mean! That poor girl working with her, under those conditions. Demoralised, embarrassed. Poor kid. My advice. Document everything kid. Watching you like a hawk. Counting how many chips you put on her tiny trays that she's pre cut to size. Chicken has no meat on. Clearly trimmed. Kebab and chips in a tiny tray. Simply outrageous meanness! The prices are bordering on extortionate anyway. With the sizes factored in, 💯 extortionate Never again!

Just don't eat Treating staff like cattle is never acceptable

Tiny portions for enormous prices! Fish smells like fisherman's wellies! Tiny with around 10 chips for £5 Chicken has no chicken meat! The woman owner! My days she is something

Cant believe how this chippy going down Smaller portions of chips Cant believe 5.15 chips were cold unless I got dinnertime chips warmed up

Used to go here before lockdown , it was good then. Visited today and was very disappointed. I bought a Donner kebab and it was the smallest I have ever seen, meat was luke warm and pitta was so tough that I couldn't eat it. The salad was well past its best.

No cockles and no chips or pickled eggs ?

delivery was on time we had fish and chips fish was slightly bigger than the mini fish we also had, but was hot, the chips unfortunatly was cold so put that down to Harveys chip shop not the delivery driver who was friendly and quick, he was here at the same time as the message to say he was on his way, not ordering from Harvey's again.

First time ordering . Very efficient service. Easy to make selections from menu.Good choice. Tasty, hot food. Thank you Harvey’s

Where do I start, driver was more interested in his phone than me when delivering, a portion of chips missing, called fish bar, flippant woman couldn't be less helpful and said I need to speak to just eat, fish was supposed to be large, it was between small and medium(see photo) and was vile tasting, just eat app very misleading says fish and chips, see attached photo, only fish arrived, so both items were missing chips, I was swayed by good reviews, please don't be fooled they are awful, waste of money, the food in the photo cost £23, bandits

Ordered a pie and chips special meal with a large curry sauce. With delivery it came to £14. For that I got a pie and about 20 chips, very small portions

First time buyer, Good food. Had a pukka chicken pie, onion rings, roe and chips. There were a lot of chips for a regular shared between two. Would benefit from pictures next to the food on JE as I didn't know what to expect for my money and desserts! Old style wrapped in paper, good tempiture no problems really.

Foods banging but ya portion size cud do with being bit bigger both meals we ordered were barely children’s portions but food was top notch

I’ve had take out and delivery and both times it’s been absolutely amazing .. the best chip shop ever, old school chips like when I was little absolutely amazing! My new favourite chip shop!!! Xxx

Drink missing. Couldn’t contact driver to give directions

First time of using and won't be the last the large cod was to die for crispy and fresh

Harveys was lovely however after all the faff first trying to order through the app and then the bank wanting me to jump through hoops to pay i shall be going in person with cash next time and not use an app.

Use to like this place not no more expensive and portion size so small now never again .

Fish was awful. Hard thick batter with hardly any fish inside. What there was, was dried up. Did change it though and apologised. Used to be such a good fish shop.

Two mushy peas missing, shop rang when I told the courier which was nice. It’s happened twice before though missing items., a bit annoying Food very nice and hot as usual

First timer. Spent 40 quid for 3 meals and a pie.... had my panties down at 4.95 for a steak pie. Was expecting more, Its soggy botty was worth 75p at best. I got the same pie last week at tesco for a quid. Kebab was nice but chill out on the prices bro

The food tonight was absolutely beautiful compliments to harveys best chippy in the area bar none 10 out of 10

Honestly disgraceful. Over £10 for chicken meat and chips and there is no meat whatsoever. I've basically paid for chicken skin and 20 chips. I also ordered a pickled egg and got a pickled onion.

I have been a regular customer, however in recent weeks portion sizes have significantly decreased and this evening I think they forgot to cut the potatoes. They were more like large wedges which had not been cooked properly. Certainly won't be a returning customer !

The quality of food here is so poor stay away unless you want a dodgy day the next day. Very tasteless, Very expensive, Very poor quality, Very poor service, Very poor place.The lady who I think owns is it is very rude has no customer service skills, Very moody very abrupt...The husband is great fell sorry for him.

Only wanted a small chips £2.15 .. friday dinner time about 1-15 ... had to wait about 10 mins which was no problem... got home and I got a portion of undercooked hard in the centre anemic chips ... in the bin they went ... I would of waited another 10 minutes for properly cooked chips.... please cook your food properly before you take money off your customers....

Nice lunch as I was working nearby, ευχαριστώ!

Very disappointing, Ordered 2x 2 southern fried chicken, only received 2 pieces of chicken which were from the bottom of chicken the carcass mainly bone covered in coating! The mushy peas tastless.only decent thing was the chips ,loads of them.

Best fish and chips for a long time searching. Thank you for a lovely meal.

Best fish I've had in ages, delicious.

Lovely food but drinks were not received

Lovely local chip shop, kind staff and fair prices. The food is excellent compared to other chip shops in the area.

This is a beautiful place for fish and chips. My favourite is haddock always cook fresh.

Always the best chip ship food in the area. Never had a problem with anything I've ordered and the staff are always so welcoming. Couldn't reccomend enough

Food is OK but the lady serving was very abrupt and rude for no reason. May have caught her on a bad day but I'll use somewhere else in future.

Best haddock I've had in some time, great food as usual from this brilliant chippie!

Just had GLUTEN FREE fish chips , it was really really nice ..and my wife had chicken mushroom pie which was beautiful. This chippy will do GLUTEN FREE every night of the week. 👍👍👍

Excellent customer service above & beyond!

Always Luke warm never hot ( even when you ask for them to make sure the meats hot) expensive but nice

3 stars for the chips. Sfc donner meat and chicken meat couldn't have been any drier. Fed it to my dog

Good was delivered on time and very tasty

Beautiful food that was pipping hot

Been ordering for a little while now and will continue to do so as the food is always great, love the chips.

Good fish & chips and friendly staff well worth a visit 😀

The food is consistently good standard and promptly delivered. I will always use Harvey's while that is the case. On this particular occasion unfortunately part of my order was missing. Had ordered a pie and chips meal and a small bag of chips. Unfortunately only got the pie (on its own) and the small bag of chips. Didn't have time to do anything as had somewhere to be so was a bit disappointed but will use again as they are usually so good

Used to be excellent, it changed hands and I thought I’d keep trying and give them some time but it’s just constantly poor. Food has gone downhill, the older 2 who are working seem like they are constantly arguing with each other in front of customers, and the prices are insane, I paid £7 for some chicken and a tiny amount of salad. Such a shame.

Great food and great service at great prices. A proper chippy, that also does great kebabs, thickly cut for fuller juicier flavour!

Lovely gentleman dropped it off. Food was fantastic and hot. Definitely use them again. Highly recommend

Ordered online tonight and the food arrived within 10 minutes, which seemed oddly quick. Had 2 x chicken kebabs with salad and a portion of chips. Given how quickly the food arrived it was barley warm. The chicken was dry, and tasted almost sour or bitter. It was clumped together and when pulled apart almost disintegrated. It wasn’t meat off a skewer or cut from the rotisserie, it looked to just be bought in frozen ‘kebab meat’. Honestly, just awful and we didn’t eat it. The chips looked anaemic when we peeled them open. They were so pale they hardly looked cooked and they tasted that way too. Categorically will not use this place again, and pretty peeved that I’ve just paid £18 for that awful food. Would genuinely advise others to spend their money elsewhere and avoid disappointment and an empty stomach.

Food was good fast delivery, would order again.

What we had was nice, however the battered sausage and curry sauce were missing and there was no salad on the burger as we requested. No salt and vinegar option for the chips but they tasted quite nice after we added it! Food was delivered quickly and the delivery man was very polite.

The fish and chips were nice, the salad also lovely (wish I'd ordered 2!) It was a proper salad mixture, not just "soggy leaves"! Mushy peas abit stodgy and not much taste - sorry!! I need a good mushy pea aswell as a good salad!

mushy peas were missed ...fish was poor quality.

Lovely fish and chips as ever, great plaice, good portions and seasoned as requested. Recommended!

Very lovely food and friendly staff

Wow, absolutely stunning food, the chips are unreal! Did ask for no sauce on the pitta gyro and it did come with but other than that absolutely spot on!

No sauce or mayo/ketchup, no salad, average chips and chicken.

Freshly prepared delicious food, juicy fresh fish and fresh well made chips. Has also decent Greek pork gyros in pitta. Very friendly owner and staff. One of the best fish & chips in the area. Very highly recommended!

Good food and excellent service, easy recommend.

Top food from one of the best chip shops around and friendly staff always happy to help

Ordered a mixed kebab, the salad was fresh and vey good, the service was pleasant. The meat in the kebab was a disaster!! Chicken was burnt to a crisp on the outside. Doner meat was just thin cremated slivers, hard and with no taste. It ended up in the bin!!!

All the food was fantastic as usual thank you😋

It was very nice again thank you very much.
