Kings Chippy & Chinese

Kings Chippy & Chinese is a cheerful independent takeaway in Solihull town centre that does something a little different, marrying the traditional British chip shop with a full Chinese menu under one roof. That means you can order classic battered fish and chips with a pot of curry sauce on the same ticket as a steaming Chicken Chow Mein, salt-and-pepper dishes or a stack of spring rolls. It is a handy choice for groups who can never quite agree, and the late-closing kitchen makes it a popular shout for an evening or weekend supper.

Regulars rave about the freshness of the food, with the rich curry sauce and the Chicken Chow Mein among the most mentioned picks, while the chippy side keeps things crisp and golden. Feedback online is mixed, as it can be for a high-volume takeaway, so it is fair to call the experience cheerful and generous rather than fine dining. Order ahead through their own website and you can have a proper East-meets-chippy feast ready to collect.
