Ivans Fish And Chips in Sandwell

Such a lovely place, everyone is friendly, the fish is so nice, and the chips are delicious, I would go there everyday if I could!! 💕

We went in Today around 2pm and have to say the tables needed a good clean looked like been wiped with Dirty Cloth. 2 Mixed Meat Meals and a Sausage and Chips. The Meat was COLD Chips half Cooked and Sausage tasted just simply Cheap rubbish 🤢 First and final visit

Take away mini fish and chips. Fish was 2 bites less than 5cm. Battered chips were not battered. Both were cold after 4 min drive home. Curry sauce was nice but needed to be heated in the microwave as also cold.

The chips were absolutely amazing so fresh warm and overall tasty. The curry sauce came in a silver gravy jug which made the meal look fancier. And the sausage was very very juicy and delicious. 10/10 would recommends only £4.59 to eat indoors

Asked for orange chips and they aren't. Asked for lettuce got leaves, and the menu online was completely wrong came to £17.13 however was charged £21.97. Got one slither of cucumber to top it off. Also pies aren't pukka. The one star is for the free batter bits.

Popped in for takeaway fish and chips for me and the missus. Have been here before and knew about the history and good reputation of this local landmark. However, although I was the only customer in the shop, the staff were all in the back, and I felt ignored. Eventually a very unenthusiastic member of staff come forward to take my order. Whilst waiting for my food, I looked around: everything seemed shabby and grubby. Maybe the business should have spent some money on cleaning the interior, rather than painting a very large Union flag on the exterior to mark the Coronation of King Charles? I paid, left, and brought our meal home. I never have salt and vinegar put on in the shop, as this makes everything soggy by the time you unwrap it at home. When I opened this lot, the fish was average (with soggy batter), but the chips were horrible. Lukewarm, soggy and, unfortunately, inedible. With the benefit of hindsight, I should have returned and asked for a refund but, instead, I just binned the lot and chose to never return here.

We thought we would give this chip shop a try as it is local and has been there for decades. What a mistake! It could only be described as scruffy. Nothing seemed to have been cleaned. The meal was served on old plates and the condiment bottles were basic. We will not be going back.

Poor service had to wait ages for someone to acknowledge we were there then even longer for our food and yet the shop was empty. Tables and place mats needed a good clean as were covered in stains and old stale food. Cups dirty and milk was curdled. Very dissapointing. We haven't been for a while and definitely will not be going back. I did wonder if the priority were the deliveries and the customers in the eating area seen as less of a priority

We've been meaning to try this place out for a while, made the effort and was really disappointed. Firstly the restaurant looks like it needs a good clean, tables sticky, placemats covered in old bits of food and stains. Service was very average. Fish chips and mushy peas arrived, looked ok but fish batter soggy and greasy, the fish bitty and tasteless. The chips also tasted of old fat but on the plus side they were hot so the burning of your mouth took the taste away. Left most of it. 2 mini fish, 2 medium chips and peas and two drinks over £21!!! It's Cradley Heath not Whitby harbour. Never again.

Poor service poor presentation when it came to chicken kebabs . chips very dry bits really . Third choice chippy but will never go there again . If your palet has the taste for poor takeaway then ok . 5ways chippy still shut and cradley high street orange chippy shuts early.

Used to love this chip shop but it’s really gone down hill. Fish ok, chips cold and soggy. Won’t be going back ever!

I recommend that if you are anywhere near this chippy you have to try it. I have never had better anywhere... Being cash only helps them to keep the price down as I am the one getting fat by eating the chips and not the bank lol

Quality excellent well cooked . My friend was new to battered chips . Staff friendly. An all round pleasant experience. Other menu available if you don't want fish.

Absolutely lovely fish and chips, the battered chips was one of the best I’ve had… Looking forward to bringing the family here… Highly recommended if your looking for traditional quality fish and chip shop

I use this place often. Fresh Roe n chips with a pot of curry sauce. Plain chips were very good and the roe was cooked to perfection. One happy regular customer!

Always good quality and we'll cooked . Always worth a visi.t nice and fresh piping hot . Wide range of menu .

Excellent quality and fresh ingredients. This place is very good and I use it often. Can’t fault it. Would recommend.

Wouldn't recommend ordering the don't start cooking it till you arrive at the shop. Orders food told 15 minute arrived 15 minutes no food. Waited extra 40 minutes still no food. Already payed on entry to the shop. Told the to stick it. Avoid they am so rude

Looking forward to fish and chips after 100 days of lock down. What did I get, greasy very pale just about coked chips that ended up in the dust bin. The fish was very greasy but after wrapping in kitchen roll several times it was ok to eat. So disappointed because I had waited so long and dreamed about this treat. Ivans has lost a good customer.

23.04.2020 Brought 2 fish and chips today for my parents at a cost of just under £14.00. They were bearly warm, the chips must have been the last of the batch cooked and left standing, the fish was soggy. Why cook so much to leave standing - I am sure people would rather wait and have fresh. Would never use again. Rob Timbertree

never had a problem, very nice staff, lovely food, clean, what more do you want. staff are always available to take orders while food is cooking either eat in or take away. well done yow lot

Called in after the football with friends after the football one of whom is from this neck of the woods and he has been bigging up battered chips for a while which I have never had.In company with two home made faggots and gravy and a bowl of batter bits I was not at all disappointed .A clean place with pleasant staff and reasonable prices for excellent food so whats not too like

We took mom to Ivan’s for her 91st birthday lunch as she loves fish and chips. The fish meal was very good, with a varied menu, and it served other non-fish meals. Although it is a bit of a squash as not much space, we will eat there again and would not hesitate to recommend to others.

Ivan's is a Black Country institution, and deservedly so! A proper fish & chip shop with restaurant. Food is cooked to order and depends on what is in fresh. Its cash only - so beware - but inexpensive! My meal was excellent - the fish expecially. Gluten free on certain days. Well worth a visit

Who knew ? Battered chips ? Fabulous food not expensive and made on the premises and the best chicken kebab wraps outside of Greece I’ve ever tasted ! Run by women , so impressed thank you .

Ordered large mixed kebab, chips & salad,For the price I was expecting alot lot more than I payed for, all I got for my 20 minute wait was hardley any salad, kebab was cremated therefore tasteless came in a metal container had to order the chips separate, should really stick with the fish an chips, remove the rest of the menu. I do think it hasn't been as good as it used to be. SHAME.

I have Fish, Chips and Salad and it is always nice and well cooked. Some I have been too whilst out having been very Greasy, or like eating Lard, but Ivans are just perfect and worth having, less you are very picky, if so Pay top Dollar in a posh restaurant and end up in debt, I believe in saving money, and getting good value, and Ivans is totally that.

Yet again an absolutely lovely fish and chip lunch good service and freshly cooked food best around can’t be beaten please try the battered chips from someone who’s not a batter lover they are great can’t fault anything

The food here is spot on. Really good quality and really tasty too. There is a great selection on the menu and you can also eat-in too. Great if you fancy a treat or just want some feel good food. Enjoy!

Food was quite nice. service was very fast and friendly. staff were very polite and served us as fast as they could.

Visited Saturday teatime for fresh roe and a few chips either plain or battered. Can't be beaten in the area. Long may you continue trading.

We visited today , Saturday lunch . It was busy but staff were friendly and service good . Fish and chips excellent . The fish was fresh and batter good . Thank you to the staff who were busy but had time for a friendly greeting .

Absolutely great again fish so fresh battered chips brilliant and I don’t usually like much batter can’t fault anything staff very friendly what’s not to like try yourself and see

This chippy does far more than fab fish and chips. They've a huge variety of home cooked curries,shepherds pies and lots more - all highly recommended.

I visit regularly as I look forward to my weekly treat. The fish and chips is a delicious meal, cooked to perfection with a delicious batter to. Ivan's cater for all, including dietary needs, with a complete varied menu. The service is excellent too, very polite and friendly staff and the atmosphere is friendly, with customers chattering in the café area. I would recommend this fish and chip shop to all visitors to the Black Country as the best, tastiest by far! And to sit in the café on a rainy day, with a plate of fish, chips and mushy peas is the ultimate!!

Have been a big fan for years, absolutely love the food that Ivan’s do! Always fresh, lovely tasting and always get the best service here!

Discovered this cafe and chip shop after visit to Waggon and Horses pub opposite. Some of the best cooked fish and chips I have ever tasted. Well recommended.

Been coming to Ivans for years to both the restaurant and takeaway. Great menu, really good value and you can have the fish cut to whatever size you want.

Today I came in and had ordered scollop and chips were cooked in batter! The food was so greasy tasted vile never again will I go! Bad stomach all day shocking!

Visited the takeaway today and ordered my food which was a 2 fish and medium chips and 2 mini fish and medium chips plus extras. When I got back home and unwrapped the food I was shocked to see the portion sizes. It seemed I had been given 4 mini fish and chips. There was no apprarent size differential between all 4 meals. After phoning the shop to query the order I was told that the shop was busy at the time when I visited ( when I ordered there was 1 other person waiting for his order). I was told that they’d take the price off the next time I go in ( after this visit there will not be a next time )then I was then told that a manager would contact me and I left my number. And 7 hours later no contact has been made.

Fantastic fish and chips, fast, efficient and friendly service with a varied menu on offer definitely worth a visit

Well what can I say I use to drive past Daily never till today had I been in and yes we will b going bk even my misses was impressed which don’t come easy lol. She had fresh roe loved it I had haddock and very nice it was too the staff was very very friendly and helpful 110% this place got to be one of the best I been to that’s not next to the seaside.

I’ve eaten fish & chips from Ivan’s countless times over the years, my first experience of this place would date back to the late 70’s. I’ve always enjoyed the food from here, possibly the first chippy I recall as a child. As they say if it’s not broke don’t fix it.

A place you can sit and eat your meal , The fish and chips here is awesome, the chippy also has history. I enjoyed my meal here...

We used to go here years ago but after moving back to the area we thought we would try it again . Fish & chips were yummy & very good valve for money . They even do gluten free option. Would highly recommend this place

This has to be one of the worst chip shops I've ever been to in my life! I'm not one for leaving bad reviews but I'm sick of wasting my money ! How this has 4 stars is a joke! Honestly I wouldn't feed this to my dog!

I have Visited Ivan's Twice!, I love my Battered Chips & on the 1st Visit I asked for some Chips, Freshly Cooked Preferably as I had seen Good Reviews Online, The Very Friendly Lady Served Me some Freshly Fried Crispy & Lovely Chips which I enjoyed & Vowed to Myself to return for some more at a future Stage!,

For the price the portion sizes are disgraceful the chips arent great and were undercooked. Wont be going back not sure how they hve been going so long

I have used this shop all of my married life. Over the years the shop has evolved but the quality...

He ido a este lugar varias veces a lo largo de los años y nunca he tenido una mala experiencia - el pescado es siempre fresco y sabroso, tienen una buena variedad, hay varios tamaños de patatas fritas (incluyendo un par de ') y tienen un extenso menú además de la comida típica de chips.

Este establecimiento ha sido que el funcionamiento durante casi 60 años. Por lo tanto, sabemos que están haciendo algo bien.

Este es un adecuado de la vieja escuela "fish and chips". Pescado fresco maltratada, gran patatas fritas y un montón de opciones.

El personal era amable y servicial. Tuvimos el picante chino pollo al curry, pescado y pollo asado con patatas fritas. todos Muy buena, pero un poco caro.

Have been to Ivan's many times over the years and have never been disapointed , always hot and fresh with a good range of fish to choose from

Far too much on the menu it looks a mess, staff was miserable and food luke warm and quality wasn't great

Great friendly ,fresh , foof.staff obliging and helpful food great coffee​ great nothing too much trouble

Visit often mini fish and battered chips eaten in fabulous good food great staff good value. Even salad if you want. Best food best service best staff always smiling nothing too much trouble dont miss if in area this years special battered christmas pudding. ???????

This is a great, friendly chip shop run by a great family team.The battered chips are outstanding. Certainly the best fish and chips in the black country.

Been past here a thousand times and never been in, so next time i drove past i popped in, just for a burger, wish i hadnt,the burger was literally dripping fat when i bit into it it went everywhere,ruined my top and jeans, most expensive burger ive ever had!!!

Popped in after visiting a relative in local nursing home, staff there recommended Ivan's. Fish was beautiful as was the chips. Generous portions but do think a little overpriced

I've been in here a couple of times after hearing about how good the food is. In all honesty, it's portions are small for the price because I feel it's overpriced and there are better fish and chips around old hill and cradley heath. Wasn't too impressed with my waiting time for my food either.

Good hearty fish and chips .. a tad over priced in my opinion but does the job for a chippy tea for the family.

my dad always went to this shop and just before he passed away he fancied some fish and chips and because he had no appetite for along time I said were from and as always it was Ivan's we all had some I don't know if it was an off day but 95% of the food went in the bin and it is expensive there too my daughter and granddaughter went and had a meal in and they left there's the chips were not cooked through the batter was too thick so it was soggy

Ive lived near to this fish and chip restaurant for most of my life and they are still one of the best family run places not big inside but very welcoming service

Loving the specials great valve for money,friendly staff had some bad days and some really good days will still go back

Dropped in here after a trip away. Been a few times with the family as some of them like it.Its nice enough although I think theres too many choices on menu. Staff are friendly though and helpful. Cant knock that. I can however knock some hygeine practices. Fresh fish counter at the front of the shop. Dont have a problem with that however...the chopping board used for portioning fresh fish was not clean on each use which meant it stayed there...theres a reason why flies are in the title. No fresh fish for me thanks.There are gluten free options for them that suffee. Helluva long wait on all the food we ordered and it wasnt a difficult order. I had a small doner kebab in pitta bread. One of the most tasteless and dry kebabs ive ever had. Wont have that again.Chips are great though! Nice enough place and staff but thier food doesnt do it for me. Niet comrade Ivan.

We had been out on our way Home we fancied some Fish and Chips checked Google for opening times and Ivan's is open all day so we thought we would give them a go as not been there for years so we got there and decided to eat in .Staff are very welcoming and took our order straight away. The meal was to a very high standard and the seating area was clean and smart .

Love Ivan's, a true family favourite! They do battered chips and normal! Battered r my fave! Staff are friendly too!

We had a very nice fish and chip supper here after a long hard day we called here for fish and chips which was such a good idea food hot and good

I quite like soggy fish and chips - which is just as well, as I've never seen any fish coming, fresh, out of the fryer here. I'm always served a piece from the hot cabinet and frequently the chips have been hanging around a bit too.It's OK - most chip shops are no better, but this one seems rather more pleased with itself than the food would warrant.

Living in Birmingham if you want fish and chips you go to beddows so on way back from merry hill saw ivans fish and chips and decided to sit in and eat and I really wasn't disappointed friendly staff nice warm feel to seating area food was lovely way up there with beddows chippy only thing missing was the pickled onion definitely recommend the place and will certainly eat there again !!

Excellent fish and chips, but of a wait whilst my fish of choice was cooked, definitely worth the wait

Lived in Rowley Regis 2009-2015 and Ivan's was always the best Fish & Chips I ever tasted in my life. What I never understood was why so many people go there and order chicken, burgers and kebabs!??Recently went back and found 2 x cod and battered chips plus coffee and a flavoured milk came to £14.40 to eat in. Just not justified! It is not a classy restaurant, but charges M&S canteen price range.

Been here a few times now to eat in the cafe part, and have always had a very good experience. The selection of fish is extensive, including haddock, salmon, cod, fresh roe, try the hake; it's beautiful. You can choose from either plain or battered chips, which is nice. Portions are plentiful, and the fish batter is just right, not too heavy or soggy.Service is always swift and attentive, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Can't complain about the price either which is very reasonable, it usually costs around £12 for two people to eat in, which I think is very good.I would not hesitate to recommend Ivan's!

Used to be a Great chip shop when I von run it, now passed to a family member. Not the same anymore. Won't visit again standard of food gone down hill.

A true fish and chip restaurant, the fish chips and mushy peas are delightful swilled down with a lively cup of teaWell recommended

Came here after being recommended by a family member. It was all very disappointing. The place is nice enough. Clean, tidy, traditional fish & chip café. The food was the big let down. Fish portion very small & watery. Filled out with a mountain of battered chips which left an unpleasant oily after taste. Asked for peas & got mushy peas, which I do not like. Service was pretty good & at around £7.50 with a pot of tea, not bad. Maybe I caught them on a bad day. Never the less, I will not be going back.

Decided to eat out and hadn't been to Ivan's for a while, so decided to give it a try.Orfered Shepherds Pie, medium chips and curry with a pot of tea. Staff were friendly and my order was taken swiftly and my pot of tea delivered, however then the food took a good twenty minutes to come even though the shop wasn't busy.When it arrived the shepherds Pie was an enormous portion and I struggled to eat it all.definately worth a visit though!!!

Started to use Ivan's instead of our local chip shop following a recommendation.We wasn't let down, the quality of food from Ivan's is great. Good sized portions and good value for money. Highly recommended for takeaway, they have a seating area and that looks good also but we've never eaten in.

There is nothing on their vast menu that isn't great! Lots of healthy homemade options, you'll be spoilt for choice!

A long-standing, traditional fish and chip shop that still provides the excellent, fresh, delicious fish and chips it always has. Fresh fish for sale too. You can dine in (old-fashioned, small cafe-style) or take away. You can order larger pieces of fish (paying by weight) to cook to order. It's nice to know that quality, service and tradition is still alive and well at Ivan's.

Just moved into area, heard about how great fish n chips were from Ivan's so had to give them a whirl. Now, we are health conscious but can honestly say quality and price were fantastic value, really great Friday treat, good selection and you can even sit in if you can't wait to take them home, loving your work.

This is a very friendly family run chip shop. the staff are very helpful and as they also sell fresh fish you can be assured that the fish is fresh. They have a wide variety of dishes to try aswell. they also cater for large parties providing a take away and delivery service , i.e. if you have a function they will cater for you and deliver.

despite recent (not so good) reviews decided to visit as fancied nice piece of fish. i wasnt dissapointed the fish and chips were lovely and very tasty although portions were small they were still adequate. very impressed.

Loved our visit to Ivan's chip shop on Friday night. Cafe was buzzing with nice people. Table behind us were also commenting on their great food and friendly service. Our fish and chips were amazing - cannot fault them. Will be going there regularly.

Having read glowing reviews and knowing people who have been buying from here we thought we would try it out. We ordered cod and chips twice with a standard size chips. I waited twenty minutes but didn't mind because it was freshly cooked. Total cost £11.08 bit pricey for fish and chips but thought with the reviews it would be worth it. Very dissappointed. The cod was approx 5 inches square and although the cod was very white and fresh the batter was terrible. It was so thin as to resemble wafer- thin ham and was soggy and peeling off and not completely cooked. Some of the battered chips were not cooked though and most of the batter had fallen off. Chips were greasy. We are going back to our old chippy.

My husband & I have been loyal customers for fifty years but I'm sorry to say Ivan's has gone drastically downhill in recent months. During a visit in March 2015 we sat in the restaurant, both ordered fish, chips & peas. Firstly the peas were forgotten, then the fish & chips were cold. In all fairness, we didn't complain at the time, as we've been customers for so many years we assumed it was a rare 'off day'. Finally when we came to pay, the girl only charged for one meal so my husband was honest & corrected her. Nonetheless it was a shambles from start to finish.We decided to give them another chance on our next visit on 24th April 2015. This was worse still. The fish was cooked but so sloppy it was jelly-like and inedible. The chips were drywhited to death, hard & dry on the ends. Beyond disappointing. Friends & family have also commented on disappointing fish & chips from Ivan's in recent months.We noticed that Warren & his wife were absent on both of these visits so it's possible that had a bearing. If so, these problems need to be addressed before all longstanding customers go elsewhere.

Rubbish. Only person in there ordered 2x donner kebab chips and it took 20 minutes ? The meat was all ready cooked infact it was over cook and really greasy. Chips were soggy. I wont be going back. Mould on the walls dirty floor. Menu is to big for the slow workers. Apparently tge owner was best young fryer of the year. Someone has fallen out of love it the trade move on and dont let other people waste their money too. Terrible. Not even one star. Oh and over prices either pack it in or start a fresh new employees

Went to ivans today. Hadn't been for years and won't go again. A leopard does not change its spots. Food was cold and taste less. Even though curry source is microwave heated it was still cold. Chips also cold by the time I opened them in the car outside. Chips much better down the road on the high street. Won't waste my money in ivans again.

Good food, small restaurant but adequate. Keenly priced. Have a good variety of options on the menu.

Great food, great service, always used Ivan's fish and chip shop, have done for many years and will do for many more.

Have used Ivans for years but the last time I went towards the end of last year I was well disappointed. Chips were poor and soggy and fish was fatty with too much batter. Have always recommended Ivans until then but sadly that visit and bad experiences from friends has put me off. Great established chippy that I believe has tried to add too many lines and sadly let the quality of the traditional chippy slip I'm afraid

Wonderful food. Always tasty and hot though would give 5/5 if portions were bigger. Great choice of menu and good service.

We have tried other chippys and always come back to Ivan's. No other can compare, well for us anyway!

My Dad is just about to set off to Ivans to get our tea, as a treat. He's been coming round for his tea just lately and this is way of saying thanks. Speaks volumes I think. I'm getting hungrier in anticipation. The classic, "Fish and Chips," from Ivans is awesome! However, there's a massive, diverse range of food available. Curries, pizzas and so much more. But, for me the Cod and chips are just to die for.Have some. You won't go elsewhere. Simples.

If you want to taste the best fish and chips in the Black Country, this is the place to come. I've been coming here for many, many year's - first class.

After seeing the reviews and with our usual excellent chippy (The Royal Stourbridge Road) closed for refurb thought would try Ivans place 7.30 Saturday night. What a disappointment!!!!We ordered battered cod, medium battered chips and 2 pieces of southern fried chicken. The only half decent bit was the cod.The chicken was reheated in the microwave (should you ever reheat cooked chicken?) Because of this southern fried coating fell off like limp skin and chicken was at best luke warm and very dry. Chips tasted like they had been sat there for a while and warmed up. Sorry to say won't be back, cant wait for usual chippy to reopen.

Brilliant place. Have been here a few times, and loved it every time. You can eat in or take away, but we always eat in. You can have the fish with or without the skin and its always freshly cooked. Great place with great food, a little gem that I am glad is just up the road from me

Just been introduced to this brilliant place. What an experience. First class traditional food served with a smile. Very highly reccommended. Give ity a try.

Just down the road from where I live and it's a fantastic place to eat when you just can't be bothered to cook. We go quite a few times in a year and it's so cheap and always tasty. Off there tonight 16th Aug 2014 and already licking my lips for the curry sauce.
