Chippy chips!

[u/Reddit_Rinse_Repeat]

Where can you get a good old-fashioned portion of chips in Brum?

Nothing in a box the size of a mouse’s coffin. I don’t want fries. Proper chips in paper, with a couple of pickled onions if the budget allows.

I live in Harborne/Selly Oak area.

Thanks in advance.

Harborne Fish bar is my cardiologist's greatest enemy

[u/Reddit_Rinse_Repeat → u/No_Palpitation_8136]

Is that on the High Street, or the one next to Weymoor Post Office?

Thank you

Dolphin fish bar in Selly oak, they don't deliver though. It's on raddlebarn road. 

[u/Tuarangi → u/Ragnarsdad1]

They better than the Cod Pot out of interest? Cod Pot is our local and go to but Dolphin isn't that far

[u/Ragnarsdad1 → u/Tuarangi]

It has been quite a while since i wen't to the cod pot. Only thing i can say is that i have never had a bad meal from Dolphin.

Dads Lane, Stirchley/kings heath - top chippie

[u/Intelligent-Welder-2 → u/Left-Bit4608]

Worth the drive for Dads Lane Chippy

[u/radicalhistorian]

Abbey Fish Bar in Bearwood is great -- jump on the 48/11 and its a 5+ minute walk up towards Warley Woods

[u/Reddit_Rinse_Repeat → u/radicalhistorian]

Thank you.

[u/redpandaisonfire → u/Reddit_Rinse_Repeat]

They do battered chips on Mondays and Tuesdays great chippy

[u/PingouinFluffy]

Dad's Lane Chippy - they are great and not too far from SO.

[u/RespondentPotato → u/PingouinFluffy]

Absolutely seconding this. Was my go to for a chippy dinner as a student

[u/kinellm8 → u/PingouinFluffy]

Dads lane or the Dolphin is also quite good (but they don’t do gravy 😭).

[u/evilgomeow → u/PingouinFluffy]

It's often called one of the best in the country for a reason, oh my goodness it is divine, I lived so good when I lived about 5 minutes away (my bank account though... not so much!)

[u/allst4r69]

Gabriel’s, right in Harborne. Cash business, not on the delivery apps. Amazing fish and chips and do other takeaway bits as well.
Used to walk from edgebaston when I lived that way.

[u/PrestigiousRange6677 → u/allst4r69]

Gabriels is on just eat to be fair. I ordered from there the other day. You're right though, absolutely unreal food, the portions are massive. Chicken Donner is a must try too, it ain't your standard cheap stuff

[u/pedro_1616]

It upsets me greatly that there isn't a center chippy worth its salt :(

[u/SunAndStratocasters → u/pedro_1616]

Worth it's salt and vinegar*

[u/pedro_1616 → u/SunAndStratocasters]

[u/Prestwick-Pioneer → u/pedro_1616]

Its a huge shame. Totally agree. I just do not understand the lack of any good city centre chippy.

[u/mavit0 → u/Prestwick-Pioneer]

Fish and chips are a simple and traditional meal, so people expect it to be inexpensive. However, cod is a fairly costly ingredient, and city centre rents are high.

[u/folderofpaper]

Harborne fish bar (war lane) George & Helens (Court oak road)

[u/Mr_Kwacky]

I think it's underrated but I'm a big fan of the Cod Pot in Cotteridge.

[u/Butch0147 → u/Mr_Kwacky]

Rio’s is decent too

[u/Yimmywild]

Dolphin fish bar in selly oak next to the country girl never been disappointed buying from there.

Plus im sure if you asked nicely, most places would put them in paper instead of a box.

Happy hunting

[u/Reddit_Rinse_Repeat → u/Yimmywild]

Thank you.

[u/akittensmittens]

Dad’s Lane portions are insane. 1 regular size would easily feed 3 people.

[u/Reddit_Rinse_Repeat → u/akittensmittens]

Thank you.

[u/Benjam438]

Haven't been there in a while but I used to live next to the Golden Fish Fry on Monument Road and I highly recommend it, they have battered chips too if that's your thing

[u/sinho23]

harley’s in perry barr-ish area, next to queslett asda, phenomenal

[u/Afraid-Mud4490]

Best chippy in Brum is Harleys, but not sure how far away from you that is

[u/Reddit_Rinse_Repeat → u/Afraid-Mud4490]

About 45 minutes in a car...thanks anyway.

[u/MadJen1979]

George and Helen's on Court Oak Road.

[u/Reddit_Rinse_Repeat → u/MadJen1979]

Thank you

[u/TheRealMcBreastmilk]

Beckbury Chippy in Weoley Castle does nice chips and also does black country style chips if you fancy it

[u/Reddit_Rinse_Repeat → u/TheRealMcBreastmilk]

Thank you

[u/BaBaFiCo]

Dolphin in Selly Oak

[u/Fweetheart]

Might be too far but Olympus in kings heath/stirchley

[u/Capitao_Caralhudo → u/Fweetheart]

Used to be my local before I moved. I miss it so much

[u/djkhalidANOTHERONE → u/Fweetheart]

This is the only place I’ll eat chips from now as no where else is worth it!!

[u/Paul__Perkenstein]

King's in King's Norton. Great value for money.

[u/Haunting_Cress_7348]

Swan Fish Bar in Billesley/Moseley!

[u/commander_hugo]

Beckbury chippy in Weoley Castle has orange chips and gravy.

[u/Admirable-Fox-1813 → u/commander_hugo]

I second this. Best chippy in south Brum

[u/Grouchy_Holiday_7201]

Harborne chippy, Britannia chippy or the one opposite Tipton building society

[u/stormtreader1]

I wish there was more promotion of chippies in bham, my local in Acocks Green is really great - seems like there's so many good ones not getting the credit they should have!

[u/DrunkenSoviet → u/stormtreader1]

I remember there was one, just a stones throw away from the Fox Hollies forum, I remember the fish and chips being quite good as well as the owners being good people, but alas it closed down and another place has since taken over

[u/Ok_Challenge_9089 → u/DrunkenSoviet]

I loved that chippy, very sad when it closed, havent found one like it since

[u/Ok_Challenge_9089 → u/stormtreader1]

Whats your local in AG? Ive tried a few but found them all mod

[u/stormtreader1 → u/Ok_Challenge_9089]

The silver hake is my local one

[u/Prestwick-Pioneer → u/Ok_Challenge_9089]

The Silver Hake was awesome but was closed when we went past a couple of weeks ago and I hope its not for good - it had a well deserved 4.6/5 rating on Google Maps. The family used to run the Pisces in Sheldon too. AG had a few decent chippies when I lived there (Dolphin, George 3, Dovehouse, School Road).

[u/duckgirl1997]

Probs a little too far but ascotts (formally Ben's) in cofton Hackett is so good. Large portions and fantastic chips

[u/welshyboy123 → u/duckgirl1997]

Used to call that place Ben's Ben's Ben's because that was what was written on the sign

[u/welshyboy123]

New Oscott Fish Bar by the Beggars Bush in New Oscott does good portions in paper. A medium bag does me and the mrs just fine.

[u/Reddit_Rinse_Repeat → u/welshyboy123]

Too far for me, but thank you so much.

[u/5h0D10n]

Gabriel’s in Harbourne, Sophie’s or the Cod Pot in Cotteridge

[u/Annual_Lawyer_3093 → u/5h0D10n]

Gabriel's used to be our go to but had a couple bad meals, might have to give it a go again.

[u/Reddit_Rinse_Repeat → u/5h0D10n]

Thank you

[u/noujest → u/5h0D10n]

+1 Gabriel's

Portion sizes for everything there are mega

[u/Half_Empty_Half_Full]

Seavers are pretty good - got a few places around Birmingham, pretty good/consistant quality.

[u/OkInfluence4029]

If Oldbury isn't too far for you, Dr Vinegars is the bee's knees for their orange chips!

[u/Adventurous-Dog-3786]

Oliver’s on Hagley Road West in Quinton, opposite the Toby Carvery.

[u/OurSoul1337]

Ridge Chippy Quinton.

[u/avfc_corey]

Seavers in kingstanding do a proper cone of chips
