Harborne Fish Bar

Tucked just off Harborne's village centre, this long-standing chippy has built a loyal local following for proper British fish and chips done the traditional way. Freshly battered fish, hand-cut chips and the usual comforting extras keep regulars coming back, and the kitchen has earned a name for catering to gluten-free diners too, a rarity among neighbourhood fish bars. It is the sort of unfussy, family-run spot that the surrounding streets of Harborne rely on for a quick, satisfying supper.

Order a classic Cod and Chips with mushy peas, or branch out to a Battered Sausage if you fancy something different. Portions are generous and the frying is consistent, which is reflected in a strong 4.6/5 Google rating from a large body of reviews. Whether you are after a wrapped takeaway to eat on the move or a hearty meal to bring home, it remains one of the more dependable casual options in this corner of south-west Birmingham.
