The Frying Machine in Walsall - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

This was the first time ordering from the Frying Machine and we were not disappointed. Not only was this all gluten free (I'm coeliac), but it was well packaged and clearly labelled. The chips were amazing but the best thing was the curry sauce, I've never tasted any chip shop curry sauce like it really really good and gluten free! We've been looking for a gluten free chip shop for ages and to have this one that does GF every day and it being some of the best chips I've tasted in a while is a blessing...and they deliver!

I love this venue. We go there specifically for gluten and lactose free fish & chips. This includes gluten-free sauces, gluten-free fried chicken, and even gluten-free chicken kebab. They also do normal fish & chips menu for the general public, which is their main menu. The owner is lovely, he is usually there cooking a lot and the staff are great. A very chatty and friendly bunch, smiling and very helpful. We live in Birmingham, but not many gluten and lactose free, friendly options close to me. So this is our number one place for our cooked treats. It is a small shop, no seating inside but plenty of room to move around. In a lovely area which I like very much. I'm not sure about bus links as we usually drive. I like this venue. I have noticed some differences in consistency from time to time with the meals, particularly the fish. Also, the southern friend chicken is very, very, VERY salty. It happens nearly always. I'm not sure if they taste tested this menu item before selling. This issue needs to be fixed. I would suggest that if you are using a premade batter mix, please dilute it with some measured plain flour. This will reduce the salt content in each batch of chicken. But besides these niggles, we are pleased. You can even ring ahead of time and make your order for payment and collection later on your arrival.

Quick service, fish cooked to order so nice and fresh

Best Chip Shop in Walsall. Kebabs are to die for. Jaz the delivery driver is a top bloke, cheers to all staff at aThe Frying Machine. Respect

Gluten free menu. Very own GF fryer. All staff ensure zero cross contamination. EPIC chippy !!

Had Fish and Chips, scallop, and southern fried Chicken all gluten free, I was searching in the area, and this place is the only one in miles that have a gluten free menu and a pretty decent one. I found the food to be just as good as a normal batter.The food was great tasting, fresh and perfectly cooked. Customer service was great too. I have now found a chip shop I will recommend to my family and friends.

Amazing food and the staff are friendly. Definitely would recommend

Another beautiful meal from the flying machine arrived still hot spoke to one of the girls to add something she so polite and curtious yes I would defo recommend the frying machine

Great food, bit pricey but definitely get what you pay for Literally can't wait till Monday so I can come for some more scallops ❤️

Took my wife here due to her constant complaints about her bad back. These guys offered her a few options but nothing has helped. 3 stars as I still have a wife who complains too much

Best fish and chips, fried chicken and curry sauce. Friendly and clean. Awesome.

They are friendly and the best part is everything is fresh to order. Really tasty and good value for what you get. Will be going again

Another great tasting gluten free meal , brilliant.. thank you 😊

Amazing gluten free batter and loads of options for coeliacs! I had the mini fish fillet (which was pretty big for being mini!) and the battered mushrooms - delicious. So pleased we tried this place out, we will definitely be ordering from here again. Can't fault it.

Lovely staff, very knowledgeable about gluten free, fish and chips we're delicious and also Southern Fried Chicken definitely recommend

Excellent food, Best Gluten Free batter I've had, Defo will become a regular. Partner had normal Kebab and Chips he was also impressed with gluten free fish though and will have that next time.

First time here on wednesday very clean and tidy place, ordered the gluten free hallumi fries and cod bites and chips for my wife which she really loved gluten free batter was superb i had kebab meat and chips which were both fantastic would highly recommend this chip shop and is now our new local chippy

Cracking fish and chips here great food

Freshly cooked products. Cod is really cold, unlike other fish and chip shops. Friendly and prompt service.

The food is always nice and never had a bad meal. The only reason I have given a 4 star review is because you have changed to tinned mushy peas.

Great food and service All made fresh Great food and Staff friendly

Great fish & chips busy on a Friday evening so order online for your order. Else it's a long wait fish is cooked to order. Batter bubbly 5 stars from me. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😁😁

Best chippy ever, clean, fresh chips, fresh oil, lots of gluten free options, amazing service, never found a bad chip in my portions. Cannot fault them at all. Thanks guys. Ps I'm a Coeliac and always feel safe eating here.

Fresh chips and fresh cod. It's bit of wait but if you want fresh cod and chips then it's expected.

Excellent food for Coeliacs, and very aware of the requirements. Very nice staff, and the food is fabulous.

Good food, probably the best chippy I've had in a while

Great food quality. Gluten free menu

First time in the shop won't be the last food was freshly cooked fish and chips for under £10 son had sausage and chips wife had salad wrap it was all absolutely lovely highly recommend

They have a great gluten free range also there food is really good.😋

Totally impeccable quality fish and chips, Fish was absolutely cooked to perfection, the best in Walsall near quality to frasers fish and chips in Penzance, my new fish and chip shop, the staff were also great, geat prices.

Ordered 2 large fish and chips for 9pm delivery arrived on time and the fish and chips were excellent the fish was huge..I've seen smaller sharks.. excellent value ..

Avoid like toxic waste had to wait outside while a fresh large cod was cooked I felt like a Jehovah’s Witness waiting outside the door. Definitely now worth the wait got home to be greeted with a very disappointing thin piece of cod the batter was over cooked (to quote Gordon Ramsey if it’s brown it’s cooked if it’s black is F@&ked) and it was very greasy.(literally oozed out as it was cut). Save your money and go and have a proper olde fashioned fish and chips at the black country museum

I challenge any fish and chip shop in the midlands to beat the fried chicken pieces here. Absolute legendary

Absolutely love this place, their gluten free menu is amazing and their understanding of Cc is second to none. I always feel super safe eating here and I'm always spoilt for choice:)

amazing!! just amazing, after my son was diagnosed two years ago with celiac disease, his diet had to change and other than when we were in Cornwall fish and chips is just out the question. so then finding this place that serves gluten free full menu 6 days a week just made our day. not only was it so tasty but the staff knew everything about celiac and gluten intolerance and unlike a lot of places that offer gluten free options the is no extra price, very highly recommend

Placed an order through their website, weas easy to use, payment processed fast, had an email confirmation within seconds. Arrived at the shop and went inside, lovely and clean, was told my order was about 10 minutes away, got given a buzzer that would tell me when my order was ready to collect, went back to the car and waited for it to go off. Staff were very polite and the gluten free parts of our order were clearly labelled and wrapped very well to keep them seperate. The food was nice, and the Gluten Free variety was very good, with a good section on the menu dedicated to it.

I call in most weeks, always welcomed by friendly staff. The food is freshly cooked whilst you wait rather than cooked earlier & kept warm. Don't let the wait put you off its well worth it. Food is always first class, great value & very reasonably priced. Well worth a visit if your passing by.

Love the fresh fish made to order on entry. I ask for less water..brilliant. Chips uncosted..my fav.😍

1st time to this chippy, and the last. Made to wait outside while cooking for 10 minutes, we live 3 minutes drive away, the chips were Luke warm definitely not freshly cooked and the fish was the same.

Great food and service. Good for gluten free. Will deliver.

Had a lovely gluten free meal Saturday evening good choice as well ,staff especially the young lady that served me was so well mannered, will be back when visiting relatives in walsall

Always have good food from here but their opening hours are too short for my liking. No chance of a cheeky kebab after a night out here but when you have the food served here it’s always worth it.

Shop closed recently for over 1 week. Decided to get some fish and chips. Terrible taste, must have been stale oil. That’s the worst mistake chippy can make. Customers are not stupid.

The place for gluten free!!!!! Having heard about this chippy on Facebook and their gluten free options including southern fried chicken we had to go. We were not disappointed in the slightest. All good us cooked fresh to order and worth the short wait so you know you're getting hot and fresh food. The SF chicken is the best gluten free SF we've tried ever it's like a gluten KFC. The fish and chips are tasty in a light and crispy batter just as they should be and the portion sizes are great value for money. We'll be back again soon.

The *best* fish and chips you'll ever eat, really good! Exceptionally helpful, friendly staff, quick service, and always a delight. Thank you! And thank you for your superb gluten free offerings. Love the ethos behind this shop!

Absolutely the best Fish &Chips at the Frying Machine walsall 1st time we have tried this one ,as we were visiting a relative and needed gluten free meal the fish was huge lovey and white and the batter was fabulous, myself and my brother are both Coeliacs and we throughly enjoyed our meal We will definitely be having this again when back in Walsall they also deliver

Barry chippy: lovely food, friendly staff, good prices.

We just moved to the area and tried it out. I must say they place was exceptionally clean, I mean clean clean. Chips were fresh and tasted good. I ordered 2 large chips which was alot for 6 of us. We'll definitely return

GLUTEN FREE CHIPPY! I didn't even know this chippy had GF options until recently and wow was I impressed! The cod was one of the best I've ever had and their southern fried chicken was delicious (also GF)... Highly recommend

Really nice place. Had gluten free chips and gf souther fried chicken and it tasted so good. Definitely recommend!!

Lovely staff . A large gluten free menu. Great food

Great place and lovely staff. Food soooo good too!

Food here is pukka well recommend

This Chip shop is amazing great choice of food freshly cooked to order, gluten free options customer service excellent, because finding that perfect chip shop is rare !

First trip to The Frying Machine, Walsall! I ordered and paid online. It was super easy to see what was gluten free. There is a very large gf menu to choose from. They opened at 4.30 and I requested collection for then. I sent a courtesy message on Facebook just to draw attention to the gluten free element and the time I'd requested to collect. I got a response super fast, despite not being open at the time :) My order was ready pretty much as soon as they opened the roller shutters!! Superb service. Food was well packaged, with clearly marked gluten free items! I ordered fish, I'm always super keen to test out gluten free batter at places. My all time favorite so far is at The Golden Fry, Benllech , bit far to drive though lol My fish was huge, picture doesn't do it justice at all. The batter was nice. Not too thick, not hard, not crispy either, but not soggy so very happy with it! The actual fish inside was perfect. My regular portion of chips was huge! I also ordered peas and gravy, again, really nice, clearly marked as gluten free as well. Very reasonably priced as well. No ill after effects!! Overall, very very happy and will definately be visiting again. My Gluten eating family also loved their food, they had chicken burgers, fish cakes and cod and chips and all said they enjoyed their food.

You pay a bit more here, but the fish is fried to order, its not sitting in a warming oven. Really friendly staff and you can wait in the car with a little buzzer that goes off when your food is ready. Best fish in walsall!

Great friendly service, ordered in advance online through the website, very easy and order was ready for me when I arrived, would highly recommend.

Gluten free !!! Amazing fish and chips , so good to have a GF option available for us coeliacs !

What an amazing experience from start to finish. Food was great, no complaints at all. The owner is a stand up lad, really friendly, funny and always smiling. Chips were hot and fresh, brilliant fish. Thank you!

Made to order fish, what could be better 👍A big bonus is they do a gluten-free menu to spoil you, fantastic

I do like to pop by here from time to time. Staff are always friendly. Prices are ok and the food is pretty good. Not a fan of being charged for sauce on my chips. Also you can expect a wait. Not sure why but I've yet to be in and out with ease. The gluten free menu section is a nice touch. Enjoy!

High quality fish & chip shop!! Visiting from NYC, I was amazed at the prices for the portion size they give here (can never have too many chips lol) Their menu has so many options and fish is cooked fresh while you wait. Also nice to see them cater to customers with gluten sensitivities. Staff is professional and friendly. Thank you for the amazing experience! Will definitely be returning!

Beautiful doner kebab and salad and same said about chicken kebab. Excellent food every time.

Excellent chips, frequently changing the oil I reckon. Great service too. Highly recommended.

Best chippy in Walsall! I highly recommend it! The food is amazing and the owner is always so friendly :)

Staff really friendly great place for gluten free food not many places locally that offer gluten free. Food was really nice will visit there again.

My food experience as always been good here but lately they are not open on lunchtimes. On Friday and also a Saturday. I just think this chip shop could benefit from opening on those lunches. I hear many a people say they wishes it was open,but people will go elsewhere where....

Great food, lovely staff! Would definitely recommend.

Nice chips, clean place, would prefer chips to have a bit more 'crisp' to them

Good things come to those who wait. Yes you will have a bit of a wait for your food but when it does come it is hot and fresh! Friendly staff and nice and clean environment. Would recommend. 🤛

Who's not tried the new Irish style curry sauce?????At my tender age (not saying age!) I've neva eva had chips n curry sauce...... til tonight!Now im converted! Wots is the difference between regular and Irish style curry sauce???? No idea but this was super delicious

Horrible sausage. Fish poor. Owner/server very rude. Will never visit this awful fish and chip shop again.

Geeza got an Attitude Problem. Stale Chips. Never Again.

Delicious and Massive portion! The best Chippy in Walsall.

1st time visiting this place aa my son is celiac, the food was amazing, cooked fresh wen ordered, will b visiting again

First visit last week. My wife is Coeliac so gluten free very important and hard to find. Food was of high quality. Good gluten free precautions and knowledge. Would definitely recommend and will be returning.

Great fish and chips and the girls are great.

Absolutely Tasty Gluten Free Fish & Chips. For Coeliacs like me this is fantastic to have a tasty takeaway that I enjoy. Food is of a high quality and customer service is great. From Tuesday to Saturday just ask for gluten free options. Chicken meat and chips is my new favourite . Absolutely great to find this chip shop.

Trusted gluten free products . My sister's very sensitive due to having Coeliac. The food is of high standard. Freshly cooked to order . Very friendly service. Would highly recommend, especially to those diagnosed coeliac

Chips didn't appear to have been freshly cooked. Fish was beautiful though.

Absolutely put my full confidence in this place when putting in a special order (I have a gluten intolerance) and they've put my mind at ease with how knowledgeable they are on the disease. Thank you so much I recommend 100%.

By far the best chip shop I’ve been too! Amazing tasting food and the best customer service you’ll get if you are from Walsall. If don’t want a friendly service and delicious food then don’t bother going!! I’ll be telling people about your halloumi bites too!!!

Found my new go-to spot! Fresh food on order...fish was crispy and flaky to perfection. Price was great for the portion. Also didn't know they sell halloumi bites!! Owner takes pride in every order and knows his stuff!

I use the Frying Machine most weeks and the fish and the chips are always excellent, fresh and hot and cooked perfectly. The staff too are friendly and always serve with a smile. Very recommended.

No veggie options. Very poor given the increasing number of veggies/vegans today.

Service is top notch. (shoutout to the girls who go above and beyond to put a smile on customers faces) They have recently started selling Ben & Jerrys which is perfect for the warmer days about to come. Fish is excellent, everything is cooked fresh upon order. Very much worth the wait!!!! A very friendly atmosphere & affordable prices.

Really lovely food, all freshly cooked , staff are excellent would definitely recommend.

Was really warm and nice had popcorn chicken and chips and it was banging would eat again

Freshest fried fish in Walsall ! Chilli Cheese bites are amazing!!!! Happy and friendly service ... and they sell Ben and Jerry's !

Was amazing, really nice and hot.service was amazing will go again!!!

Just bought fish n chips here for the first time. Absolutely delicious! Lovely crispy fish and great chips. Couldn't eat it all so next time I will buy small portio. You can phone to pre order and pay by cash or card. Will certainly return and recommend. Well done 😊

Fish and chips were splendid. Fish was very fresh and the chips were also.

Well worth the visit, items not over stocked and cooked when needed. Staff really pleasent

Incredible food very fresh & good quality, great service!

Great value Fish and Chips. Their curry sauce is better than usual. Highly recommended!

Good fish and chips from our local chippy

Chips were amazing! Perfectly served with salt and vinegar. A little pricey, but worth every penny!

Have to wait too long as all food is cooked when you order. Fish was lovely but chips were undercooked ☹

Great little chippy, fish cooked fresh, apart from chip's but they are generally ok

Fresh and tasty food, clean shop and excellent customer service. 🙂
