About Harleys Fish Bar

Harleys Fish Bar is a family-run fish and chips takeaway at 923 Queslett Rd in Birmingham, where a father and son have been frying since 1982. The fish comes with salt and vinegar, and curry sauce is available as an accompaniment. The menu also lists masala fish and chips, a mini fish and chips and a Mexican hot pizza, so the choice runs beyond the classic order. Service is walk-in at the counter, and a queue can form at busy times. The shop is not halal.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often praise the fish and chips, describing fish that is crispy outside and flaky inside, in a generous portion that fills the box. One diner singles out the masala fish and chips for its spicy batter, and several highlight the golden, thick-cut battered chips, one calling them a must have. Close behind is quick, friendly service, even with the queue out the door, and one reviewer found staff understanding about the wait. Others mention a Mexican hot pizza, mini fish and chips, and salt and vinegar with curry sauce that suited the fish. The main criticism comes from one reviewer whose chicken tikka was hot but tasted of nothing. They also found the battered chips stuck together in clumps and hardly any mayonnaise on the chicken, and said they would not return. Against that, a customer who has both collected and had food delivered reports it arriving hot each time, with delivery staff who were friendly and quick.

    “Friendly staff. I have only been the shop twice as I normally get it delivered as I have an sen daughter at home. But the food is always hot, delicious, customisable, so many options. The staff that deliver are friendly and quick. The battered chips are a must have, like no other.”

    “I recently visited this chip shop and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of both the food and the service. The fish was perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside—while the chips were golden, thick-cut, and full of flavour. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. The staff were friendly and efficient, even during a busy period, and the shop itself was clean and well-organized. Portions were generous, offering great value for money. Overall, a fantastic spot for traditional fish and chips. I’ll definitely be coming back and would recommend it to anyone looking for a proper, satisfying takeaway.”
