The Plaice Fish Bar in Birmingham

Sorry always like to a place when I've been used to good food ordered a donner kebab wasn't as good as previous management in fact nowhere near what I was expecting ordered sausage and for partner she threw it the bin as she said it horrible just warm going to go to Haslucks fish bar in future

Just had a fantastic cod and chips, the fish was cooked fresh and you could really tell the difference, this may mean slightly slower service than other places, but in my opinion that's 4 minutes well spent. Price wise, £7.99 for a medium cod and chips with a choice of curry sauce or mushy peas. It was a good plate full. Definitely going back there again.

amazing place been there a few minutes ago the food tasted great and I really recommend this place not really much of a difference from when it used to be different owners, thanks

Apparently it’s under new ownership but I couldn’t tell the difference, top notch food as always. We can’t wait to try the pizzas and pulled pork burgers.

Gone downhill since new owners used to be the only chip shop I’d use but won’t be going there again

Excellent customer service and tasty food.

Hi I bought fish and chips and doner burger last night. staffs are very friendly, he cooked fresh fish and chips for us. It was a quick serve. I will go back to the chippi shop again.

Went here to grab lunch today, the man serving was really lovely! He was cooking everything fresh for each customer I think, at least for me and the man already there when I got there and even was apologetic for me having to wait though he was cooking it all fresh for me, he was really sweet and seemed to be a really lovely man, he made sure I saw the meal deal for that time of day for what I ordered so I saved some money, he listened to everything I asked for and prepared everything perfectly, when I got back to my husband about 5 mins away, we ate it together and we both agreed how delicious it was! It was the best fish and chips we’ve had anywhere in the local area and even said we wish the chip shops by our house near Lichfield (a hour or so away) were so good! Everything was really nice, I can’t recommend the food here enough! Or the service! 5/5! Hope we’re working near here again so we can come back! :)

I do not know what happened in a week, but last Friday we had good service, atmosphere and decent food made quickly to order. This week it took 30 minutes and the order was wrong. Several people went back as they had missing items whilst waiting for our order. I hope it is not under new management as previous owners were lovely and will be missed.

Ordered a medium portion of chips and it looked like a large I had to help my mother it them I had a mixed meat and chips the chips where fantastic hot and freshly cooked I had three means on it and I savoured every bite is was so gutted when I had finished them it’s a must to go here if your in the area

Nice food we had small cod and chips and small curry sauce cost £7-£8 very tasty .

Always friendly staff, quick service, and most of all tasty food

The establishment was recommended to me, however, I was not satisfied with the quality of the food or the service I received. The chips were not fresh and the fish was still cold in the batter, indicating that it had been transferred directly from the freezer to the fryer. Additionally, the staff did not display any courtesy or gratitude, simply taking my payment and informing me that I would have to wait 20 minutes for fresh fish. If these issues are not addressed, the establishment's success may be jeopardized.

It’s a great place some of the best food I’ve ever eaten no complaints about that really recommend it but fish does take a long time to make but everything else is exquisite it’s cheap and reliable all ways open except sunday which is great and the workers are so nice

Been going here for years love the place ….. but When the portions started to get smaller it looks like so did the customer base … I came for the big dinner. I can get this anywhere now

Best fish and chips in Birmingham. Never had a bad meal from here. Highly recommended 👌

Recommend to everyone - always great food!

Very nice food & lovely friendly staff.

The food is fine, the fish and chips are a respectable quality. The prices have increased and they even charge for having a bit of sauce added. They didn't previously. The food isn't cheap so feels a little cheeky to ask for 20/30p for a squirt. There is no option to eat in as no seating available

Sorry to say, I won't be going there again. Very disappointed with my fish and chips, there was plenty of it but it was soggy and tasteless, most of it went into the bin🫤

Always excellent food friendly staff highly recommend the plaice fish bar.

Very tasty, freshly cooked. Quality products used. Have had a lovely dinner. Recommend.

Great food and the service is excellent

Superb local chippy. Friendly staff and good food.

A busy 'place' (pardon the pun) with queue of customers, which usually means good food. I wasn't disappointed. Had the small fish and chips with peas. Both fish and chips was fresh 😋 Staff friendly. Cash only though.

We get fish and chips here regularly. The chips are great and fish is always a decent size, but always, always overcooked leaving it dry. Take the fish out the fryer sooner... I beg you 😂

One of the best chippys around Foods always pukka! Staff are very friendly Never had an issue, been going here for years

The best Fish and chips ever!♥️😋

They are the best fish and chip shop in the world, so delicious 😋

This is our local fish and chippy and I would highly recommend it. The food is great, good portion sizes and friendly service, I would definitely recommend this place!

Great quality fish & chips, served with a smile! 🙂

Fab fish and chips. Friendly service and good parking outside. Been twice now and not disappointed. Now our go to "plaice" for fish and chips!!!!!!

Prices have increased and portions are smaller. Quality not great too.fish way too oily. Disappointing. Finest catch is much better on Stratford road. Worth the drive

Food used be nice but since new people started working food is never fresh , they mix old and new kebabs together also they do the same thing with the chips. Never go there again

Great chippy with excellent, friendly staff. Very clean and comprehensive choice

The best chippy in the area, and there a few really good ones around!

Excellent chippy! It's definitely going to be our family "go to" place in Hall Green. Very friendly and welcoming owner/ staff. 🤗

Always perfectly cooked, tasty fresh food served with a smile

Traditional fish and chippy. Good fresh fish friendly staff.

We recently visited here after living in the area for a few years. Previously we travelled a short distance to a fish bar as the fish was so good there, however after giving The Plaice a try we will not be travelling far anymore. The fish served is amazing as is the kebab, battered sausage and chips. All dishes offer great value for money. The staff are very friendly. This is our new takeaway choice not just our preferred fish and chip shop, it is that good. Would recommend the Plaice to anyone in the Hall Green, Moseley or Solihull area. 5 stars!!

You havent lived until you sample a taste of this English tradition. Wrapped up in newpaper. the fish is so fresh and the chips so tasty you will wonder what youve been eating up to now. This Chip Shop is one of the nicest you will see. Its in the heart of Solihull and been there for years. It has survived the times and now a National Monument ..lets say a chip off the old block ;)

Great fish and chip place. The best for miles around. Very well priced with a wide selection including all the extras you'd want like kebabs, sausages, burgers, etc. Well worth a visit.

First class service and top quality food

They charge chips separately and fish separately. Just I've paid £8.10for a fish and chips.and no battered on the fish.one side of fish with the skin had some battered. I put all in the bin.i don't recommend to anyone.also they don't accept any cards.just cash because they don't want to pay anything to the tax man.

Just had cod and chips, the cod was freshly cooked and was STUNNING, the whitest , tastiest and best cooked piece of cod i have had in many years. Thank you

Mini fish and chips, great value for money. Good alternative selection from flies to kebabs.

Staff are very friendly and welcoming, food has always been spot on, had the halloumi burger this time around to try something different and was pleasantly surprised, tasted amazing and the salad was super fresh too. Will only use this chippy from now on. Thanks guys 👍🏼

The family who run this fish and chips shop are lovely and friendly people, it is the only place I go to because every thing is freshly cooked . I have been going there for many years and it is very popular .

Very disappointing with the chips they tasted awful I asked twice if they were overcooked. Was assured by manager and lady that served me they were not. They tasted as if they were reheated. The fish wasn't much better. For one cod one medium size chips and one small cod .I was charged almost £12 . Far too much for having to bin most of the chips .Friday after 5 . Noreen

Very good fish and chips. The place (or The Plaice) appears very clean, and everything is reasonably priced. Staff are friendly and the service is good. I had cod and my wife had haddock, and everything was piping hot and not greasy, and not a soggy chip in sight. I think I've found my new favourite chippy!

We had lost faith in fish and chip shops , because 9 times out of ten, the fish was awful!! That is until tonight! Our cod, chips and curry sauce from The Plaice was delicious. The best we've eaten in years!

Brillant fish and chips. Definately go there again

Just recently moved in nearby for work and this place is excellent. Brilliant service and food - management very friendly. Highly recommend.

Slight mix up of which sauces go on which kebab but food was of good quality.

Crispy and fresh Fish and chips. also friendly staffs.

Hands down best chip shop in the area. Have used them for years. Food is always spot on! Amazing fish especially. The staff are lovely and friendly and always take the time to have a chat with you. Whenever ive been anywhere else I've always been disappointed as I compare it to the plaice. Never had a bad meal here!

Nice service from the lads, great kebab.

The best fish & chips I have had in the Shirley area with very friendly owner & staff. It is very safe as well from a COVID-19 perspective.

Always come here for my fishNchips, always excellent food, great portions, and staff really friendly. Cheers folks

Just been to the plaice fish and chip shop. Wana say 2 young lads behind the counter were sound and polite. But the bold guy behind the counter so arrogant and stuck up. Seems like he has chip on his shoulder. Let your hair down mate oh I forgot you ain't got any.

Very clean. Felt very safe shielding measures in place. Good portions. Fish cooked as you wait. Fish n chips...delicious

Simply the best fish & chips in the Hall Green, Shirley area.

It is one of the best chip shops in hall green and the food is amazing! This chippy is highly recommended by me

Best fish and chips in the Hall Green / Shirley area

Best chippy in Hall Green and Shirley and staff are all great - Highly recommended

Always good food, very friendly staff

Encontré este establecimiento durante el cierre. Ahora nuestro pescado frito favorito es excelente. El personal y el servicio son insuperables. Gracias

The plaice fish bar team are the most friendly team you can find and the food served is THE BEST that you can eat. The shop is clean .. if fact I pass by three other fish and chip shops to go there .. a real treat.

Very welcoming staff and the food is very well presented and tasty Love the fish from here

Very clean shop with amazing service as well as great food. Cant recommend this enough

the bald guy thinks he knows it all and is very rude n arrogant!!!! the white woman who served me was terrible at her job couldn’t understand or take orders properly asked her for a mini fish and she charged me for a small curry sauce and then when i went back in to explain why i have been overcharged and given back the wrong change the bald guy was quick to tell me to get out of the shop and never come back whilst the white woman kept saying in the background i’m wrong and she’s right..talk about the customer is always right!!!!! the other woman is lovely and understands customer service!! this is the last time i’m going there for food....this place is a joke

Beautiful, crispy batter on the fish is a delight and the chips are always golden. Definitely recommend!

Just had our beautiful fish and chips delivered by our daughter and grandson delicious as always definitely recommend 👍👍

Great local fish shop. We've been using this chippie regularly for years and it never disappoints. Fish is always fresh. Update. Great to hear it's open after the lockdown...welcome back...

Visited Friday night, excellent food, freshly cooked, lovely chips, had chicken, it was really tasty, had fish in the past & that was wonderful too, really good portions, the staff are so pleasant & friendly, the mini fish are huge, really good value, most highly recommend

Excellent and tasty food 🍔🍟🐟🦈and good staff friendly behaviour 😜

I have been going to the Plaice fish bar on Baldwin’s Lane every Friday since they took it over around 7 + years ago. They serve the best fish and chips in Birmingham if not the Uk. The portions are generous and quality excellent. The family who own it are great and very hard working. If I could give it more 5 stars i would.

Best chippy in Shirley. Very friendly staff and best fish is town.

Time and time again, without fail the fish is so tasty with a thin layer of freshly cooked batter.

Always brilliant food, fresh and delicious

Doing a spot of DIY at my son’s nearby and took a break for lunch. We decided on fish and chips. Glad we did. It took a few minutes for the fish fry but it was well worth the wait. Accompanied by a mound of chips, DELICIOUS!

I’ve not long moved into the area and have tried a few of the local chip shops, this is by far the best one in the area, if not birmingham as a whole. The staff are nice and friendly and the food is always fresh and hot. I would recommend this chippy to anyone who wants to listen!

Great tasting fish and chips!! Highly recommended

Great quality food very good service

Food is always good , premises always clean, staff always friendly. Prices are often dearer than the previous visit

Friendly service and well cooked food, chips, haddock, pies and chicken all very good Parking usually not a problem and good takeout

Rubbish food, manager got atitude problem, acts like he knows it all avoid at all costs

This is the best chip shop by far. Food is always cooked fresh, fish is beautiful and the batter is so light and crispy. The kebabs are very tasty. The staff are very friendly. I won’t go anywhere else!

Excellent food and friendly staff. Fish, kebabs,burgers are all tasty and my son loves the nuggets they do. 🎵Nobody does it batter🎵

Excellent food from here. Give it a try you wont be disappointed

Im used to exceptional fish and chips from london and tbh nothing comes close in birmingham. The plaice is in my opinion the best of a bad bunch. Better than the finest catch on stratford road and bedders in small heath. But nowhere near as good as the high standard of product in london.

Wow! The freshest fish and chips I've had in a very long time. I was actually gobsmacked. The place is clean, the staff are nice and the fish was delicious. We went to another chippy near Shirley station and it was awful, so was sceptical about going to this one. But I've now found my go to chippy for the last Friday nights!

A very nice clean shop. Friendly staff and quality food. Not much more you could ask for.

Food from here is always 5 star. Best fish and chips and service in the area, we eat from here once every week and always look forward to it.

Lovely food, customer service was amazing so friendly. Would definitely recommend. Fast service thank you for a lovely dinner!!

Been going here for a few years and each time the food is consistently good, the freshest fish i have tasted and the kebabs are really good, recommend this place to anyone looking for a traditional fish and chip shop

Local chippy for years, always delicious, don’t go anywhere else! Friday nights are always busy but they still serve you as quickly as possible. Big portions. What more could you want from a chippy!

Good food, great portions and great service

Clean shop, friendly staff, lovely food and generous portions 👍🏼

Great chips,and meals!!the chicken kebab was the best I've had!!staff are really frieindly an helpful!
