About The Island House

On Hollies Croft in Birmingham, The Island House is a halal fish and chips takeaway serving fish and chips with a choice of curry sauce, including an Irish curry sauce option. The wider menu covers southern fried chicken, cod, pie and chips, and burgers, with battered chips throughout and a lunch time box meal option for a quicker order. Orders are placed on entry and cooked to order rather than held ready, so items are made fresh once requested. It runs on a walk-in basis with no reservations, open Monday to Saturday and closed on Sundays. Uber Eats delivery is available for those ordering from home. The site previously operated as Sir Harry's.

Customer Review Summary

Fresh fish is the main draw, with reviewers describing a large cod that arrived piping hot under light, crispy batter, often with battered chips and a curry sauce, including an Irish curry sauce one diner found tasty. Southern fried chicken comes close behind, and another reviewer calls the chicken brilliant and still warm on delivery. One notes the food is halal. Service earns repeated praise, with several describing a polite, smiling team, and one first-time visitor says the menu was explained to them. Chips divide opinion. Some call them fresh and decent, while one reviewer calls them horrible and says they did not justify the price. A burger was described as hard, chewy and overcooked with too little sauce. One reviewer reports that the food smelled of cleaning products and that they had an upset stomach afterward. One diner whose Uber Eats delivery went wrong thanked the woman on the phone who helped sort it out.

    “Great service, smiles all round a great team, thanks to Michelle who was the server today”

    “The food smelled like cleaning products, the meat looked unappetising, and even the chips didn't look appealing. Considering the prices, the quality was extremely disappointing. To make matters worse, the meal left me with an upset stomach. Overall, a very unpleasant experience that I won't be repeating.”
  • Derek Herbert
    “Bought pie and chips and fish and chips with curry sauce and chips.chips were absolutely horrible hard earned money down the drain, especially the price that you charge is a disgrace! Why can't you get the chips right??? Why?? Please work on your chips if people are going to spend hard earned money.”

    “The Island house always provides exceptional service. The food is delicious. Esp the southern fried chicken. Can't beat it anywhere else. Today I ordered through uber eats and encountered a slight problem with the delivery. However, the lady I had spoken to was absolutely amazing and helped me out so much. So I just want to leave this comment to say thank you so much. I really appreciated your help today. Fantastic service.”
