Shelly Farm Fryer in Solihull

Best chippy I’ve had in ages! Staff are nice also x

Fantastic food! The best fish n chips around!

Always brilliant friendly service, lovely food, and generous portions :)

Have put reviews on this chippy before however tonight haddock and chips was probably the worst I've had however I have had very good fish and chips before but lately fish very small for large haddock best to avoid for know

a hidden little gem. always a nice welcome and service with a smile. i normally have sausage and chips which are delicious but last night i tried their cod, chips and curry sauce. everything was piping hot (so much so, i burnt my mouth but thats my fault) very generous portion of chips, all lovely golden colour, the fish was lovely and covered in the tasty curry sauce, i ate the lot.

Best Fish & Chips around, have been using for many years. High standard of cleanliness. Highly recommend.

Awful dry bland chips … can’t believe how anyone could turn out such dreadful food

Top Fish and chips served by an amazing team of family and colleagues 👍

Long established chippy. Freshly prepared tasty food. Can get busy in the early evenings and need to wait a few minutes while your order is cooked and prepared. Car parking.

Been using this Fish and Chip shop for over 20 years and not ever had a bad meal. Can pre-order online making it incredibly easy to use as it can get very busy at peak times like a Friday evening. I fully recommend them.

9 of us went for a 40th birthday meal but unfortunately most of the food was poor. All of the pizzas were terrible, they were difficult to cut even with a pizza cutter. They asked if we wanted the leftovers put in a box to take away but in my opinion the only place to put them was the bin! I had fish and chips which should not be hard to get right but there was under cooked batter and I actually felt quite unwell for most of the night and the next day. At nearly £18 for this dish I would expect it to be perfect. I live on the east coast and we can get 2 good portions of fresh fish and chips for less than the price of this dish. My wife's dish was a chicken dish but it was tasteless. Fortunately I was not paying the bill because if I was I would have been speaking to the manager first. Would I recommend this place, NO. Would I go back, NO. You get one chance to impress customers and they failed miserably!

Lovely fish and chips and great they have a gluten free evening - easy to order online too and just pick up

Food great as always:) and friendly service too.

The best fish and chips I've ever tried!!! The staff is polite and the portions very good. Very clean place! Our favorite place for fish and chips for years. I highly recommend!

Queues are so long and the £7.50 donner meat and chips was shockingly small. Paid extra for the large as well 👎🏻 don’t waste your money

Donner Kebab 🥙 Meat & Chips Delicious 💯😎🇵🇸

I can’t remember the last time I received service as bad as this. Nelsons in HH was too busy so I thought I’d try the Shelly. It was empty when I arrived and I began to realise why. There was a young lady at the till who failed to acknowledge me. She finally took my order but had to wait for another lady to get my food. Her attitude was awful. Hopefully this is taken constructively and addressed by the management. However, I will not be returning anytime soon. If you want to be treated as if you actually exist and with some gratitude, give this place a miss

Agree with other comments on here about the rude staff. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this place to anyone unless you like that kind of treatment.

Been here a number of times and seen the rudeness of the lady owner to other customers. Today I received the extremely unnecessary rude service from her today and can only say that it was uncalled for and I will not be returning. I do not recommend this place to anyone unless you like to be treated in this way.

Good size portions of gluten-free fish and chips. Available on Wednesday. Nice pot of kushy peas. Fast friendly service.

Lovely friendly staff and always enjoy the food

Good food just wish they did delivery

Always looking after me whenever I request a 'long thin skinny fish'.

New to the area, and found this little gem

Food is good. Wish they did kebab meat with chips and salad though instead of making you choose.

Yesterday evening, I had the finest fish and chips I have had in ages. We were fortunate that it was busy so nothing had sat around but they cooked the fish until it was all crisp. Often when its busy, fish and chips are taken out too early but there was no soggy batter on the paper (which I really dislike). We. Done Shelley Farm.

The best Fish & chip shop. Lovely people, great service and the best fish & chips. Highly recommend.

The best fish and chips and kebabs. We go here regularly and it is the standard that few get near!

Not a bad chip shop, however, no matter what time of the day you visit, you always have to wait for chips to be cooked. It’s never in & out quickly.

Our local chippy since 2002. Always been consistently good. Might have to wait a little for fresh fish and chips , but not an issue. Lovely family run business. Highly recommend it.

I’ve used this chip shop for many years. Great food. Good prices. Very friendly staff especially Lulu. Lovely lady. Keep up the good work.

Over priced for the quality. Chips are always not cooked. Staff don’t want to be there.

Popped in, after a long journey. Needed good quality food & quick. We certainly got that & would definitely recommend to others. We shall be returning.

I have been going to this chip shop over the past 15 years but this last visit will be my last...service was terrible, had placed the order online for pick up but it had not been done...was told they were really busy but no-one was in the shop, overall it took an hour to get my order with 5 peolle being served before me that had arrived after me...really disappointed as service has been good in the past.

Fish is nice. But the chips have been undercooked as they are busy so given out the chips quickly to meet the demand.

Quality chippy , and the blonde girl who works there when I asked for a new fish she put me a new one on which I always do so it’s more fresh also she’s my favourite server and is always smiling. Great staff and are very polite.

Have visited this chippy many times, and I can understand what previous review is talking about this chippy is 95 percent good there has been occasional flop but it's better than most chippies in Solihull I had fish and chips tonight and I would give it 100 percent it was delicious fish and chips like everything else is more expensive the if enyone can find a better one in Solihull let know.

Authentic British fish an chips! Not portions too.

We went on Sunday we have been many times good service and excellent food

I've only ever been once, and will not go back. The dark haired lady at the counter was EXTREMELY rude.

Great chippy and super friendly staff. Min £10 for card use, tho, which can sometimes be inconvenient.

24Dec2021: Pre paid largish family fish n chip order early evening was ready on time. Excellent quality and portions.

Very good service, quick and hot. Thank you.

OK, so I have visited the chippy many times and the food is beautiful....tonight at 930 I visited with my friend and our children. We ordered chicken kebab chips, curry and chips and a sausage. Hostile service would be a compliment. I am so disappointed that the lady was so uninviting but when asked they'd had a long day. If you can't be polite close the door. The food was rushed and not to their usual standard. I will not be visiting again sadly.

Friendly staff, chips were amazing, as was the curry sauce. Highly Recommend.

Wonderful service and spot on food quality 👌

Chips were greasy and had to wait more than 10 mins for haddock. They were more concerned about orders that were on line

the food is always amazing, but on top of this, it is the staff and the kindness of them, even when they are busy or clearly stressed they are so immensely kind. highly recommend, if they have you waiting it is worth it as the fresher the better.

I had an excellent experience at the shelley fram fryer. Although it was very busy the serving team were quick and efficient - special notice to the lovely girl who served be (I believe her name was Jaya) she was a gem! No longer go for my fish and chips I love to have a quick catchup with Jaya! Overall brilliant expereince! Would 10/10 recommend - very hygeinic aswell :)

The fish and chips are consistently excellent, best chippy around!

started using this fish bar in recent times quality had been so spot on ! best fish and chips you can get

Lovely food 😋and pleasant staff too

One of the best fish 'n chip shops in the area, won't go anywhere else.

Always consistent with excellent food and customer service. Whatever you order, you know it’s going to be great. I love this place and the food and staff are extremely friendly and know how to look after your needs

We would recommend this place to any one who asked us about where to eat. We hope you are hungry we got a single portion of chips and I could have feed 3 people.

Used this 'place' for many years. Really good fish and chips and other food. Pleasant and friendly staff.

Great fish and chips and really friendly staff.

Cannot give a poor review as have been very satisfied coming here for many years at least once a month. But I have to say, often have had to grill the cod when I get home as it can be undercooked. Last Sunday was the most undercooked I’ve ever had and so ended up not eating it. It’s such a shame that this does happen sometimes and it’s sort of a relief when it’s not. Other than that, spotlessly clean and I don’t mind waiting for good food. Today we went to Dovehouse chippy due to last week’s experience. It’s my only criticism, I hope this review is read because this place is virtually perfect and I love to see a great chippy do well.

Great food quality, great staff attentive to all your needs, brilliant keep up the excellent work

The BEST chippy in Solihull! We have used here for years and it never ever fails! The best cod and haddock and delicious chips (real traditional chips). My absolute favorite from here is the chicken kebab. The quality of the chicken is honestly the best I've ever had, no grissel or fat. Also, the portion sizes are very generous. Keep up the great work!

Freshly made fish, que slightly long, beautiful food, bit expensive food worth it.

Fish (cod or haddock) and chips here is always good quality. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.

Thought I would try.but you have to spend 10 pound if you use your debit card.all I wanted was a bag of chips.

I saw "Simon M" wrote "they have a captive audience who don't know any better" and that prompted me to write this review. The food, in particular the cod, is amazing in this chip shop - they also never seem to serve undercooked chips which so many shops do when things get busy. I have lived all over the country, visited many countries in the world and this would be rated as my #1 chip shop. The covid protections seem very robust and they continue to produce incredible food.

First time visiting, no idea what I wanted but I wasn't rushed, attentive staff who answered my questions... hot fresh chips and done to order chicken. Thank you

First fish n chips in a while, and couldn’t fault it! Was delicious! Great fast and friendly service too - 100% recommend :)

Like everyone, we’re really missing going out for a meal but while lockdown continues, we have a lot of takeaways instead.Saturday, we felt like fish and chips and our local is the Shelly Farm Fryer.I noticed an advert on their door for their click and collect app while shopping recently.This is a really great idea and is very easy to use and includes all options like salt, vinegar or both etc. You can even include a note to provide more info on your requirements.I arrived at my selected time slot, went to left window (for C&C orders) showed my ticket on my phone and my order was just being finished. Perfect.A tap of the credit card and I’m on my way.The shop has been completely adapted for Covid with counter screens and floor marking etc.Well done to them for adapting so well to this awful situation.Oh, and our haddock and chips were excellent :)

Food is excellent but the speed of service is awful. Always, and I mean ALWAYS, having to wait for one thing or another, especially chips, no matter what time of day. At peak times there are 6-7 people working behind the counter but this doesn't do anything in terms of keeping the line moving. 1pm today, just wanted a portion of chips - 2 people waiting having already ordered, only one person serving. Total time spent in shop = 35 mins. If you're prepared to wait it's worth it, but if not...

I went dovehose chippy yesterday for lunch, and can say shelly farm is the better chippy for value and quality. I work near both chippys and will be going back to shelly farm.

Always friendly service, excellent food and our favourite fish shop. Rated as one of the best fish shops by the Birmingham mail for a number of years. The food is always worth the wait.I have no vested interest in this ship apart from as a very happy customer. Entries in the Birmingham mail confirm 5 out of 5 (I ve had to remove the link) and below that is the website (again, trip advisor have removed this link) to order click and collect so you don’t have to leave a review that you had to wait ten mins. And as for the person who left a 1 out of 5 for receiving only one fish, clearly the person sufffers with SMS. I ve been served plenty of times by the person who they ve referenced and they are very kind, good server, etc.A great chip shop.

ALWAYS find hair in my food whenever the lady with dark hair serves me, can’t bring myself to come here anymore 🤢 I now drive all the way to Shelton or dovehouse- much nicer and hairless Sorry for the review but I just can’t bear hair in food 🤢🤢🥴

Outstanding fish and chips. Great if you ask for fish without batter.

The most enjoyable meal. The best ever service with clean and friendly staff. The best in Solihull

Worst chips I've ever had , Donner meat has to be the cheapest available more like cereal than lamb called to politely explain and was shouted at shocking

I've just had an INCREDIBLE chicken and salad kebab from here!!! Would highly recommend this place. My mom had the fish and chips and she found her meal very enjoyable too. The staff were friendly and accommodating and I was impressed with the organisation in regards to social distancing, was very assuring. Overalls

Really nice food, polite friendly staff. Would go again if I lived closer.

I am a Keyworker (Pharmacist) and I placed an order for collection after I finished work but I was held up and finished late. I called and asked if I could collect on my way home and they catered for my needs and allowed me to jump the queue to get my food. I am very grateful they did this for me. The food was great too :)

Visited here the other day for the first time and stood waiting for about 10 minutes before anyone even spoke to us, I understand you're busy with phone orders but you can still greet your customers and let them know there's a wait. Also paid around £20 for 3 items and a sauce. Although they have floor markings in place and only allow 3 people in at a time, this slowly becomes irrelevant once they get busier. I watched an employee take cash from a lady and without cleaning her hands started packing and making orders, this is unacceptable and also their team is not social distancing at all, although hard, this is not just for the safety of them but also their customers. Quality of the cod and chips was okay, chicken was poor and if you want your chip shop taking genuine safety measures during this pandemic, don't visit here...

We went to this chip shop for the first time and it will certainly be the last we ordered 2 fish and chips and when we got home there was 1 fish and chips and 1 chips only and I paid for 2 I heard the lady say they were running out of fish shortly I asked the young tall girl is my order correct and complete and she said yes but obviously not they were so greasy as well worst chippy ever will not recommend to anyone

We use the Shelly Fryer once a week and the food is always consistently good. It is never overcooked. I think a reason is that they do not cook large batches so the fish and chips is not sitting there for a long period. A possible downside of this is that it might take longer to get your order but it is worth it for the food to be freshly cooked.

Gluten free fish and chips on a wednesday 5 to 8.30 lovely

Easily the best chip shop in Solihull 😋

under cooked or over cooked and greasy. tried enough times , take a chance , but don't be too surprised if it doesn't hit the mark every time , they do try hard and mean well , but i expect better , and get a lot better elsewhere ,they have a captive audience that don't know any better ,

Excellent quality food ....ALWAYS consistantly good ....good service ...freindly staff ...excellent hygene standards ...best chippie by far ...

Great customer service pukka food what more can you ask for

Amazing cod and chips alway fresh and hot

Excellent food every time. Lovely staff.

Fish and chicken is nice. But the chips have been undercooked twice as they are busy so given out the chips quickly to meet the demand.

Always use this chip shop! Good selection of food, good value for money, staff are very friendly and welcoming and always do their best to cater for whatever you ask for.

Nice tasty fish and always fresh... You should definitely try atleast once and may try again...

Been coming here for years - arguably the best fish and chips in Solihull. They do have great tasting chips and a good selection of Kebabs, Pie and more - well worth a visit

Best Fish and Chips I’ve tried so far. Staff were extremely friendly and polite. Reasonable price and huge portions.. Highly recommended to anyone! I will remember the cypriot owner for a long time since I can’t easily forget such a pleasant and hospitable person!!

I think that this place has been consistently the best chip shop in the area for at least 25 years. Always good hygiene. Huge portions of chips. Vies with Dovehouse for the top spot and is always better than Cranmore. They don't accept card, so remember to take cash or hit the ATM at the neighbouring convenience store (assuming it's working).

Hands down my favourite chippy, was driving through monkspath on the way home from work and decided i would like a kebab.I got more than i asked for, the kebab taste just like how my mother used to cook it.Its got to be a 5 * from me on this occasion!

The food was hot and delicious always cooked to perfection. Would recommend to anyone Looking for a place to eat out.

Went to this chip shop after 8 pints of Guinness, although my taste buds were pretty much non existent at that point this chip shop was unreal. Clean and fresh. Fish, Chips and curry sauce.. Spot on.

This is a phenomenal fish and chip shop the chips are always perfectly cooked and delicious as is the fish and curry sauce, the staff is always friendly and polite and know what they are doing and the whole shop is spotless in front and behind the counter, would recommend to anyone who has not been before.

Fresh food, good quality and portion sizes.

Chips are nice but why do you charge for sauce. Makes me not want to go there.
