Major Fish Restaurant in Wolverhampton

This place is bigger up by the locals and the media as "the best" in the black country. No. It's "ok". They've clearly never been to Ivan's in Cradley Heath. That's the best hands down. Greasy chips here. Painfully slow service and not enough staff, also, 60p to eat in? Why? They give you a box, no cutlery or plate and you sit in a less than clean area. Not great. Disappointed as travelled to sample. Don't believe the hype.

Awesome chip shop with a wide range of chip shop related food from fish and chips which are good to kebabs pies and hallumi burgers quite a wait but worth it and shows how good the food is with the amount of people in the queue staff work really hard and are very helpful and friendly definitely worth a visit

It's gonna gew daan' now that the natives are in control! "Ding-a-ding-ding"!?..... They're been getting about everywhere!?..

£10 for mini fish and chips with curry sauce ( which was absolutely disgusting) won't be returning staff are miserable probably worse chip shop in wolverhampton used to be amazing 😭 really gone down hill. Prices are insane for the portion sizes aswell

Always love a bit of majors when I visit my parents

Was decent fish and chips felt a bit small for a large cod but was good quality average price for a cod and chips.

Very slow but worth the weight best chips I've had in a long time

Brilliant Chippy gone down hill due to staffing. Staff think they got all day to serve people. Happy to chit chat whilst everyone’s waiting to be served. No urgency or care. Everyone I’ve seen working there seems to hate their job. Had 2 people in front of me today and waited over 20 minutes to be served. All food was cooked so no excuses. I walked out in the end! Won’t be returning. Black Country Chippy is better and service is way better.

Tbh food used to be nice with the old owners however when it changed the chips did start to taste different. Not hating on it but the chips aren't that nice anymore 🤷‍♂️

Drove 15 mins to see what the chips were about. Ordered a veggie burger and halloumi burger to be told that everything is cooked in beef fat. So it’s a not so veggie burger 🤨 Don’t go here if you’re vegetarian or don’t eat beef! This should be made clear on the website or on Google!

What a disappointment , been lots of times before we even made special trips just to go to majors raved about it to family and friends but not any more I would be so embarrassed to take anyone there . Since the new owners took over its gone down bank at a rapid speed chips are greasy and chewy fish batter is soggy and curry sauce tastes powdery pie pastry hard and dry. This was our very last visit , unless they up there game I don't think they will be in business for much longer. So sad.

Never ordered before, and was told the food was lovely, it's not my fish wasn't cooked the chips were hard and cold I paid 34 pound and couldn't eat any of it im so upset

Great service, great food, can't ask for more.

Used to be best chippy around ...but since new owners took over it's no good...high price...chips very greasy...not good to eat ...best chips are opposite mc Donald up top of town...

Local famous chip shop. Well recommended

Food quality is still the same since the last owners. Internally it could do with some TLC. Recommend if you're in the area

Most chips were inedible. Had to throw most of them away. Fish ok. Very disappointing.

Food? Absolutely disappointing! Wrap meat was from yesterday’s and burnt dry… fish was alright but very oily.

Visited Tuesday lunchtime but was disappointed with the quality of the chips. They were soggy, greasy, and mushy. Not what is normally served. The lady who served us was lovely, but the other two staff behind the counter were lifeless and ignorant. Maybe it was a one-off, but definitely, the quality of the chips was poor.

What has happened to majors?? chips,sauce,fish terrible had these for years but awful. Has it changed owner's? I put it all in the bin, terrible greasy taste no flavour at all will definitely never go again, fish should not be like rubber, awful.

The chips need to be more chunky. They look dead hardly looks like chips they look soggy.

The the fish was awful not cod poor quality all round. Will never purchase fish from Majors again. Sad the ownership has changed as the quality of the fish also. Chips remain the same

Nice chips but the staff forgot half of my order sour faced not welcoming I want be going here again

Love it all the way from Manchester

Food was good but cleanliness tables not cleaned toilet was disgusting needs a good clean with bleach and painted shame good food but poor hygiene

Do not have the breakfast!!! Everything is put in the fryer. The fried bread, hash browns everything!!! It all tastes like fried fish.

Do not have the breakfast!!! Everything is put in the fryer. The fried bread, hash browns everything!!! It all tastes like fried fish.

I know they have been taken over but to still use the name and sell that garbage worst fish and chips ive ever had no taste what so ever fish wasnt cod cheap white fish being sold as cod id say dunno what potatoes there using but there terrible hard as bulletes discgusting wont be back again.(shame the food wasnt as nice as lady serving ) -10

Had fish n chips from here today after years....AND it was horrible !!🤢 Staff looked unkempt and the prices extortionate🤯. Definitely won't be going back.

Me and my partner fancied a chippy recently so I ordered on Uber eats & the chips were not the nicest I’ve had from here, most chips still had the peel on or were green-ish. I ordered two bags of chips & only one was sent too, and the size of the large bag nowadays is laughable, curry sauce was watery too unlike it’s usual consistency. Sometimes when I come here the food is lovely & is exactly like the nostalgic majors I remember from my childhood, other times the food is not up to standard, it really is hit and miss & depends what time you go. Another thing to add is specials are no longer on the menu, meaning you have to order everything separately and pay an arm and a leg and as I’ve said portions are very small nowadays. The roe for example is around £3 and a cone of chips is £3.80 on Uber eats, whereas they used to do specials such as roe, sausage and chips in a small tray, I’m not expecting them to be as cheap as they used to be but it just seems like daylight robbery.

Visited today for first time in quite a few years and was shocked to say at the prices and the portion sizes ! We had roe and cone of chips x 2 small mushy peas and two cans of pop £16.48 with a ketchup !!! The roe was so thin I was sooooooo disappointed in the roe for price of it such a rip off it was approx 1.5cm thick and that’s no exaggeration might not of even been that thick if I’m honest !!! The chips has lots of black eyes in them it wasn’t a pleasant experience at all !!! We were eating in and paid 60p extra for the pleasure but when we stood up noticed other customers had a plate but we wasn’t given that to eat ours off !!! I just think I would have been happier with the roe being a decent size and the chips all being edible for that cost to be fair !!! We will be coming to bilston more often for shopping as we enjoyed the market but will be seeking an alternative eating venue at that is way too expensive for us for what your given to eat !

If you are supposed to open at 11:30am then try opening on time instead of just standing and talking, when you have a queue of people outside. Waste of time

Oh my goodness. Best chippy ever. Only downside is I was with a friend who is in a wheelchair. There is no wheelchair access.

Was the first time coming since being took over and won't be coming back had fish and chips and a chicken and chips and the chips were absolutely horrible ended up putting them in the bin.

Best fish and chips in the world. Honestly a portion of chips that would have fed two people. The new line of milk shakes need some work but main attraction is outstanding

Haven't been for a while but the chop recipe has changed and it's not as good. Also they were missing a lot of the stuff on the board.

I grew up in Bilston and Thease are the best chips ever nothing like them

ive been going to majors for over 40 years and have always enjoyed the food but since it has new owners its gone down A LOT THE NEW OWNER HAVE NO IDEA DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY

Best in the country. This place is legendary. Nuff said

Normally come here once a week. But after today I’m so disappointed. Honestly there chips used to be amazing. But after today I won’t be visiting again. Chips were cold and tasted very hard. I ate 3 and threw the rest in the bin. Gutted. New owners need to learn how to cook!!! AVOID.

Ok if you want to wait 30 minutes while they serve the tables first

Absolutely awesome food me and my mate travelled from Birmingham.Because I told her how nice their fish +chips and its great to see some thing don't change ,Absolutely the best chipshop in the Midlands,well worth travelling for ,Unfortunately no wheelchair access. But definitely worth trying. SEE YOU SOON MAJORS 😊.

Never had these kind of chip, what can I say? Why isn't this an option in every chippy 😩😍 was on a photoshoot and its hungry work 🥵 best chips iv ever had, will definitely be visiting when in the area again thank you, staff were very pleasant too 😊

I was there nearly 15min and all the staff just ignored me I feel stupid all the customers are looking me because they are ignoring me not taking my order and I feel shame and I leave it from there that is absolutely wrong

Went here after the new owners take over, walked through the door and the ladies were the same as the ones I seen years before. Ordered fish and chips, was the same as before. A lazy fryer where all the food is waiting and this appears affects quality, the chips are ok but the fish is pale and uninspiring. This place has always had decent ratings but after going twice in about 2 years I can't see why, especially when Chaplin's is just down the road and Chaplin's is several times better. Major disappointment.

Not like it was . However the food was wonderful .curry sauce best I’ve had at a chippy .we enjoyed .only spoilt by locals discussing drug taking loudly which can’t be helped by the chippy .

I normally love majors but the experience I had to day was absolutely horrific. Waited 10 mins for them to dish up 2 small cones of chips . Microwaved my curry sauce infront of me for it to still be cold curry jelly when I opened it a minute later , chips were greasy , chewy and stone cold and the service was absolutely dreadful. I normally love it here but I don't think I'll be going back.

We had lovely fish and chips here. Also tried the SFC, which was great too. The fish was cod, cooked to perfection. The portion was generous, we couldn’t finish it. Really nice and clean. Will definitely be returning.

When I visit the family in the Black Country I must have my orange chips fix , sadly this visit the chips were just warm and the cod row was cut very thinly , cut backs like this will only drive customers away .

the battered chips are just amazing. when the fryer opens and you see the golden goodness you know you are in heaven. the staff are a bit of a laugh too, great prices and the food is superb. I`m going there on my birthday. New owners still the same great battered chips and reasonably priced very pleased

AWFUL PAID £33 they gave me 3 kids sausage and chips instead of 3 jumbo sausage and large chips didn’t receive mini cod and chips also ordered curry and peas but got 2 curry’s complete wrong order no number works when trying to call them £33 for what a complete and utter shambles of an order chips were cold and won’t be ordering again to much errors! If they didn’t have the items they shouldn’t have taken the order……. If they did have the items their staff clearly cannot pack the orders correctly as this was a large order and received not even close to my order!!!!!! Avoid

I have been coming to this chip shop for 25 years. Since the new management I tried it out today and I can say for sure the chips do not taste the same as they have done! Even the after taste of the battered chips lol

Major's has been a part of my fish and chip eating history since I was a kid... and the food is still absolutely delicious! Those famous orange chips always hit the spot and the fish is so light and crispy with the batter... notwithstanding that the staff there are always so friendly and helpful! 😜✨️

New owners but still the same quality beautiful football but be prepared to que but definitely worth the wait

Just been in here since the take over and I don't know if the owners are being cheap but they have changed the formula of the chips, it wasn't just myself that thinks that all the family does, if you're the owner I urge you to keep the formula of the chips that was given to you before the takeover or you will lose your customers.

Very nice chips and Very tasty and Very reasonably priced for a large chips £ 3.70

Vile chips, left your mouth coated in grease, had to throw the mushy mess away.

The shop smells rancid like old chip fat and the food is vile, Greasy chips with too much batter, I am trying to understand what all the hype is about Major's its by far the worst in Wolverhampton. If you want quality take a trip to Newbridge Chippy off Tettenhall Rd its well worth the visit and you won't ever go back to Majors lol I live in Bilston and travel to Newbridge for my chips.

Expensive but only an occasional treat.

5 stars for everything from me. I've got to say a big thankyou to the staff at majors for looking after me, when times are hard. Good is amazing, thankyou 🙏 😊 guys.

The food seemed alright at first despite small portions, although afterwards the aftertaste of old rancid oil was overwhelming and it made me feel quite sick for the rest of the evening. The worst part however was the service, we had to wait ages for them to fry up more chips after running out, which is weird for a chip shop on a Saturday evening. The premises was also absolutely filthy and very dated. The staff all seemed pretty miserable but I don’t blame them, working in somewhere as dirty as that. Overall, very disappointed. Looking at other recent reviews, it seems like this place has gone downhill recently. Avoid.

I haven't been to Majors for decades, and as everybody still raves about this place, I thought I would take a drive to Bilston and treat my family to some good old fashioned fish and chips on a Friday night. What a disappointment, 6.30pm on Friday night, the place had nobody in, the floors were filthy, there was hardly no food food available, no kebabs, and had to wait for fish and a battered sausage to be cooked, the staff looked a mess, no uniforms, they all looked dirty which resembles the restaurant and decor, I handed over £26 took my food home, the chips were soggy, greasy and not nice, the fish that was cooked and the battered sausage, was the only thing eaten, everything else was thrown away, the place used to be talk of the town, now its an embarrasment, close the doors and shut shop, theres far more better fish chip shops in that town and surrounding area

Went and had Monster Cod and Chips today, the Chips were fantastic orange battered chips. Really nice. The cod on the other hand, it was cooked perfect however it left me feeling sick as the oil needed to be drained, fish needs to rest for 10 minutes to let the excess oil drain off. This wasn't, I needed gaviscon after it, but it tasted nice which is strange, if they let it rest in the cabinet first then it would probably be nice. The staff member who dealt with me seemed nice and helpful Behind the counter looked a mess as chips on the floor, however the shop was busy and they were doing that much you can forgive the chips on the floor. Around 30 in the queue, that shows a sign of a good place. People willing to queue. The eat in part, the tables had food left, there is a bin but some idiots are above putting their left overs in the bin, 'not my job' people You have to pay 60p per meal to eat in, which for the price of what you pay, I can't see why, just greed really. Drinks are expensive, £1.25 for a fruit shoot, I saw people going to the nisa over the road and bringing drinks back The monster cod was easily a foot long by 6 inch wide. If you want a food challenge or a meal for two just buy that. Definitely worth a visit, but the owners lost two stars for the price of drinks, the 60p eat in cost and the cod oil making me feel sick Didn't see any vegetarian or vegan options, unless you have just chips, but they're probably cooked with fish and sausage Not gluten free either Batter is dairy free

For me, this is the place to have fish and chips, there's no where else that comes close. Really traditional, really unique to the black Country if not the UK because it's original and done right. My mouth was watering as I wrote this 😂 Edit - The staff are great here, direct and serve fast. Portions of Majors aren't huge, there are definitely bigger portions in other chip shops, however this is no nonsense proper food that is rich and filling, so you don't need that larger portion. As for price as of the date of this review, it's not much different to any other chippy

Five stars of course, thank you ladies Dave W sends his love he'd do anything for your batter!

Love the chips from here. Been coming here for decades.

Best chips in the west midlands

Nice food but very ,very expensive. They have NO WASHING UP to do as cutlery goes in dishwasher . Paper cups for hot drinks and cardboard boxes for food . Disgraceful that they charge 60pence each to eat in floor very greasy and realy bad smell from toilets

Best orange chips ive had would of put photo but i eat them that quick didnt have time

1 rude staff didn't explain to me as a customer that chips need frying queues gathered got some chips after 55 minutes straight in bin Waste of our money. Fish was cold rude staff bad food wasted money for bieng loyal regulars

Fish tastes so good,you just gotta lick the paper afterwards

Food here really nice! Ordered a kebab to share with kids before the fair it was massive we didn't even manage to finish it all

best place to get batter chips i recommend it to all my family and friends 🍟

Gone right down in my estimation, food isnt what it used to be and prices have gone so high

The chips taste soooooo good from here.

Went in majors saturday chips were nice,curry sauce fish and sausage was also nice..its a pity about the attitude of one of the older members of staff .was rude and swore 2 times ..

The legendary Bilston chip shop rarely disappoints, went for classic fish and chips, great tasting iconic battered chips and a lovely piece of fish. Recommended anytime but even better on a rainy day.

Years ago this place was brilliant now, service is awful, if you eat in cutlery dirty, food no very good

Waited too long to get served . No body on the counter to give my order . The fish and chips was great though !!

I love the is chip shop half the time. It’s hit and miss, when their good their amazing but sometimes they aren’t. The prices are also very high these days. Such a shame, just with the food was always consistently good.

If you want fish/sausages/pie and chips, you’re covered here. Fish is really tasty and good size portion. Orange chips were tasty. Only problem was, we ordered a large portion and there wasn’t that many. Problem is that they don’t have much of a selection. No chicken kebab or fried chicken. Not many options. Place looks a bit tired too

Can be a bit hit n miss, when on form it is a heavenly experience but periodically it can be very average, i think this may be linked to who is doing the frying, they need some consistantcy and a good training program especially where the frying is concerned. Ladies out front are friendly and hard working. Prices are higher everytime i go in and this is becoming increasingly a rare treat these days. Just in on 13th july...shop just opened and they dont have chips ready..4 staff just chatting..been i q for 20 mins. 5 people walked out. Get a grip the owner...you can tell when you are not here as your staff really will kill your business. Atrocious service.

Always a treat going to Bilston and having a fish and chips from Majors. Hands down best battered chips in the Black Country!

The best fish and chips in the westmidlands.

Best chips I've ever had, remember when I first had these back in 80s, still taste as good

Went to Bilston for the first time in years walking past majors remembering when I went in as a kid and thought why not Walked in shop empty woman behind counter didn’t look at me carried on doing an order (all I wanted was a cone of chips) walked back and forth numerous times still no contact after 3/4 minutes gave up picked money back up off counter and walked out. Had to check that I wasn’t invisible when I got home in the mirror

You steal money .. because people not speaking English...😡😡😡😡

Chips some battered some new curry sauce nice m.peas nice batter fell off fish and at £18 I could have a meal for 2 in an Indian restaurant .not going again

Very popular with all sections of local community. Serves the famous black country 'orange' chips

What a lovely place for fish and chips having seen the Macmaster doing a review of the battered chips as we were in the area we just had to try. We went for the MONSTER cod and regular chips. What a feast all brilliant

Went to try the Orange Chips, which were very nice. However the cleanliness wasn't good. Chips all over the fryers, kebab skewer just resting on the floor. Half way through our order the woman serving walked to the door and shouted over her friends for a talk. Even though it didn't shut for 2 hours they weren't going to put anymore sausages in. Overall not a good experience.

I'm not a happy or satisfied customer food is a disgrace the prices and what you get quality or quantity wise is not acceptable chips are scarapps of batter fish is better and grease curry source is way too thick comes like Nash potatoe texture staff are rude and don't know what customer service is at all thy stand around ignore the fact that customers are waiting to be served no manners or respect for the job or ppl thy serve the place is a mess not worth the money I wouldn't go back if you paid me if wnat time and money wasted go there if don't there is another fish and chip shop local too wich is 1000x time better wich u shall enjoy and no disappointment when eat from other chippy

Came in looking forward to some lovely orange chips, instead I was presented with beige potato mush. Chips had little red dots that looked like spots (weirdddd) brought a battered sausage (50p more) and batter just dropped off when touched it. Sausage was dry (super dry) charged 60p to sit in, I mean we paying for food (if you can call it that) and they charge us extra to eat it. Best part of this meal was 5 minutes later when I threw it back up tasted better coming out. Majorly disappointed I want my money back.

Had mini fish and chips today ,very disappointed used to travel to this shop always been the best , today it was awfull £ 8.70 for mini fish and chips , fish had lots of black in it chips very dark and the whole meal was bad I would of took it back if I hadent drove a couple of miles won't be going anymore

Home of the famous (and best) orange chips. Drove my wife 125 miles from Hull just to try them!

First came here on my 16th birthday and boy I was excited to try the food I had a large cod with chips and curry sauce and lemme tell ya best fish and chips I’ve ever had the battered orange chips are crunchy crispy and soft very nice and the fish well they could do better on the fish batter as it doesn’t stick on the fish well but nice fish in my opinion the curry sauce was smooth and a good taste to it I highly recommend this place

Hot, delicious food. Good service.

Best fish and chips anywhere in the UK proud it's in my home town.

Shame can’t give 0 stars, went at 8 chips were being cooked fresh, got them back and was so much grease in the paper all the chips were that greasy they all had mushed together No choice of other options no sausages no kebab meat

Was very disappointed when I visited your shop last week , I had chips and curry sauce , the sauce was way too hot and thick also some of the chips that I found in the box was nice the rest was scratch ends and lots of batter bits in bottom of box and some this had black bite in them , was very disappointed , plus only 2 staff on when we were there at 1om the queue was to back of shop , so over all a very disappointing visit for me and my friend . They had pie and chips and chips was the same as mine . Plus the price which I can understand coz cost of living . But won't be visiting again . Sorry 😔😔
