About Chris' Fish Bar
Chris' Fish Bar is a fish and chips takeaway at 880 Aldridge Rd in Birmingham. Fish and chips make up the main menu, and chips can be ordered with a sausage or a side of curry sauce. When Christmas arrives, the menu adds two seasonal specials, a deep fried Mars bar and a deep fried mince pie, which gives customers a festive option beyond the usual fish supper. The business operates as a takeaway, so orders are made for collection.

Customer Review Summary
Chips and fresh fish are what most reviewers return for, with the chips described as fluffy inside and crunchy outside and the fish in a light, crispy batter. Several praise generous portions, and one says a single portion of chips could feed a family of four. Regulars call the staff friendly and helpful, and one first-time customer who has worked in a chip shop says the standards are what a chippy tea should be. Close behind is value, where opinion splits. Some call prices fair, but others find the portions small for the money. One describes two small trays of mini fish, chips and sausage, and another received two drumsticks and chips through a delivery app, then claimed a full refund and noted there was no phone number to call the shop. One reviewer also reports rude staff when questioned. Among the more positive accounts, one reviewer singles out the Christmas deep fried mars bar, ahead of the deep fried mince pie, as a wonderful little treat.

“This place comes with a fantastic recommendation—it was named as a favourite by musician Paul Heaton in a video about the best fish and chip shops across the UK . That kind of endorsement from someone who clearly loves a proper chippy speaks volumes. Located in Turnham Green, this Chris's Fish Bar serves up classic, no-fuss fish and chips done right. The fish is fresh daily, with a light, crispy batter that's not greasy. The chips are proper chippy chips—fluffy on the inside, crunchy on the outside. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the service is friendly and efficient. It's the kind of traditional, reliable chippy that reminds you why this classic British dish is a national treasure. If you're in the area, it's well worth a visit.”

“Over priced less portioned food. Rude staff think they work together to be rude to staff when questioned. Suppose with a boss whos arrogant?? Won't go again awful place.”
