Quick info
About Wyrley Park Fish Bar
Alongside the fried fish in batter, Wyrley Park Fish Bar works kebab-shop cooking into its counter menu, making it a fish and chips takeaway on Walsall Rd. in Walsall that covers more than the usual chip shop range. Doner kebab meat and chicken tikka are served in naan bread or pitta, so a group can order across both sides of the menu in one visit. Chips come battered or plain, and battered onion rings sit on the list too. Orders are placed at the counter on a walk-in basis. It can get busy, and there is sometimes a wait for food to come out of the fryer.

Customer Review Summary
The battered fish is what reviewers talk about most, and it divides them sharply. Longtime regulars remember a crisp, dry batter and now describe it as wet and soggy, one likening it to chewing an oil filled sponge and leaving the blackened, hardened ends of the fillet uneaten. Another pair found no taste of fish at all under the batter, alongside a doner kebab they called extremely dry. Bread comes up repeatedly too, a naan described as too hard to eat and a pitta called rock hard, and one reviewer reports smelling old oil in a fish and chips order while another questioned the hygiene rating after chips that looked long cooked. Forgotten orders and waits surface more than once. Against that, weekly regulars rate the chips, battered or plain, and the kebabs highly, singling out huge onion rings and batter they call incredible, plus staff they describe as pleasant with good banter.

“I've been using here for years ,went in tonight and I got given a naan bread for my kebab that had sat on the side for god knows how long . It was there when I ordered my food ,not happy ,is it real worth loosing a custom and a bad review,to use up a very minimal costing item It was so hard it was not edable ......”
- Mark Rogers
“How this place got a 5 hygiene rating is beyond me, chips looked like they'd been cooked 2 hours before, the donor meat was only heated whilst he was cutting is (20 secs max). A one off visit, at least it only cost me £6 to learn the lesson of never going again”
