Just had a chicken kebab on a naan bread. Paid £8.99 for it.. 4 bites in still haven't reached any meat... Open it up an it's basically a salad naan with minimum amount of meat sprinkled in the middle... Disgusting. Mean and seriously over priced... Worst kebab I've ever had and I'll never be using the place again..

We have used Merchants for many years but they sadly sold up. So we decided on Oldswinford fish bar , what a disappointment the fish was barely warm and the chips were overcooked burnt but raw.

Decent enough food, the attitude is off though. The shop needs organising, if you make an order and have to wait for it fine, separate those waiting from new customers and make them feel welcome, it’s my money I’m giving you!

This is one of the nicest chippies in the area, but the sizes can be small, specifically the kebab size is questionable. I've had it twice now (thinking it was a mistake the first time), £7/8 for the portion in the picture of a large kebab.

Firstly I apologise for not rating this when I first started using it. Maybe 6 months ago. Best chips in the area . However the last 3/4 weeks the chips (which I go for, not many people can cook a good chip, regardless of the amount of chip shops.) are really poor. I don’t know if you have changed potatoes or oil or something but please change back! I will attempt to try you once more if the chips are still poor I won’t be back. Again 4 weeks ago this was the best chip shop in the area. It’s worth me giving them another chance

I ordered, got a call from Jack, no Ben and Jerry ice cream. Offered two pieces of brownie instead. Order left on door step. If the dogs hadn't barked I wouldn't have known it was there. The person was already getting back in a yellow mini. So, to the order. Ben and Jerry £5 a tub. The two pieces of brownie did not cover that. Small, rock hard and tasteless. Then they didn't put my cheese and onion pastey in. I tried to call but got a "we are busy now and thanks for calling message". Won't be ordering again. Used to be my favourite Friday night treat. Can't give less than one star , would if could.

Have not ordered from here for years. Having been let down by other takeouts recently we thought we’d give them a try. We ordered online, and had them delivered. Delivery was on time and the food was lovely and hot. We both had traditional Cod and Chips. Absolutely lovely, crisp batter (no soggy under layer!) Beautiful flakey fish. Chips were perfect too, I thought there were too many……but ate them all anyway ;-) because they were just right. Not greasy, and light fluffy potato. Our order was a Friday evening, and I think they were quite busy. We would recommend, and will certainly use again.

Went there tonight and the old chap who was in front of me was under charged but he was honest and said he usually pays more. It took me 5 times to order my food as guy behind counter had not got a clue. I was only ordering cod and chips twice and two curry sauce. Then came the price they make it up as they go along.

We’ve ordered and collected food from here for over 5 years and have always been happy with the quality of food in the past. However, we ordered 2 pizzas tonight and we’re really shocked at the poor quality. We’ve always felt that old Swinford pizzas were the best locally, always packed with loads of toppings. Tonight however, it looked they’d run out and piled a load of cheese on to try and make up for it!!! We pulled at a couple of pieces, in the hope that more toppings were buried under excess cheese but alas, just the base was below. We were so hungry we began to eat them but then felt they didn’t even taste good! The base/crusts were soft, not crispy or crunchy, as if they had been microwaved. I decided to call and complain, the manager Zac who called me back was so rude I was stunned. He was clearly irritated that I’d called in the first place, I could hardly get a word in! Eventually he agreed to deliver fresh pizzas and take the others away (letting me know they were very busy tho!). He arrived personally and his attitude had got worse! Angrily, he asked me what exactly was wrong with them and after a brief exchange, he slammed my door in my face. As he got to his car, he threw the pizza boxes into and slammed that door too. Unfortunately they can be sure that we will never order online or visit this chippy again for any type of food, not only because the quality has diminished but the attitude of management is appalling.

These guys are a total joke, over charge whenever they can and the bald headed guy who runs/owns the place is very rude. I used to get my food delivered until the owner had the nerve to call me and ask for a extra £1 as I wanted my chips bagged separately. Out of principle stopped ordering for delivery as quite a few times when delivery was longer I called in advance and decided to collect instead, not once had the difference been refunded which is why I took offence. I have tried to leave reviews on whichever sites I can which include Oldswinford website as well, ironically my account has been blocked. Went today after my wife had been even though we order the same thing week in week out. I said to get a receipt. Got home to receive something different to what we ordered. The bald head guy said we had to pay extra for salad, again no problem, got home opened the order no chips? Checked the website the for prices out of principle even though I paid extra again for what was missing after making a 2nd trip. Looks like they just reheated what I brought back and added the extra. Never go here again. Will attach pictures of receipts. Previous orders have been attached as proof. Be aware robbing b’s.

I’d ordered fish and chips and a mixed chicken, salad and chips. Paid extra for salad but there wasn’t any again (happened twice in 3 weeks). There was only one type of chicken too. Wouldn’t mind as much if the prices weren’t so expensive in the first place and then the made even more so by paying extra for a little salad.

Food is just awful. Cold, and tastes like its been sat out all day. I have heard many others complain of getting sick after eating here. They also regularly cause an obstruction with their delivery van during morning rush hour. This causes a main road into stourbridge to become heavily congested since people cannot get by, adding at least 15 minutes onto a morning commute. They do not have any concern for the local community and should be investigated by the council.

Tonight the fish was very soggy and the chips were only Luke warm. Plenty of friendly staff serving, shop busy but we did not have to wait long.
