Found out when I got there it is take away only. I got the mini combination. A piece of cod, fries and can of Coke for only 3 GBP. Great value! The fries were average but the fish was actually the best I have had while in the UK this trip. I have tried it in several places and been disappointed. I personally don't like the skin left on one side which many places did. It can sometimes leave a fishy taste I think. There was no skin at Masons...the batter was very light and crispy and the fish was cooked just right. A+ Masons! The fries may have tasted better if I had eaten there....after carrying home they were not hot and that makes a huge difference with fries for me. They weren't bad...just not special in any way. He said the fries were a small order but it was a very big order for me....could have shared for sure. The fish was a nice size as well. I would go back....and probably will before I leave.

With Oceans, they are convenient for me if I'm getting into Birmingham city centre and on my way to the office in Digbeth. I go past it nearly every other day, so if I'm running late and its lunch time; sometimes I do pop in and buy my favourite- the 5 hot wings and chips (includes a drink) for £2.50!! The hot wings from Oceans are lovely. As a fan of hot wings, usually KFC ones, I know the difference between tasty chicken and not so tasty chicken- it's my speciality. They do have a lot of meal deals in Oceans, really cost effective for students and for those on a budget. It's great to know that £2.50 can still buy you a meal which includes a drink as well. Their kebabs are also delicious. If I'm feeling like having something different, I do have the kebab meal; however this is £3.50 instead.

Nothing conjours up the ocean more than being as far inland as you can be in England. Siiiigh…read more Standing outside the generously, romantically-named Ocean and shutting your eyes just doesn't give you warm sunshine on your face, salty sea spray or the sound of children playing in the ocean foam. Instead, you get the shadow of a former Toys R Us, bus fumes and the sound of a moaning dad or three. However, the absence of the seaside outside is compensated by the little gem inside. Golden chips (proper, fat'uns), well-battered fish and a range of chippy extras - scallops and oi, oi, saveloy - make this a worthwhile visit, especially if you need some quick scran on the way to the Giant Screen Cinema (formerly IMAX) at nearby Millennium Point. Chippy beats popcorn - fact.

As a long-time vegetarian and a certified halloumi head, I was quite pleased to finally pop into…read more1847 to give their veg-only menu a go. 1847 bills itself as 'modern vegetarian' and has grown to several branches (3) outside of the Brum restaurant in the Great Western Arcade. The restaurant is named after the year that the vegetarian society was formed in England. Local, fresh produce is a big focus, outside of modernising some of the most well-known British gastronomic dishes. Aside from an entirely vegetarian menu, I was drawn here by 1847's take on 'fish and chips'. I feel that the meal has attained an almost legendary status, with friends and even random acquaintances in Birmingham extolling the virtues and creativity of the dish. First, let's take a look at the chips. Perfectly fried, high-quality potatoes - I have no complaints here. The 'fish' in the dish are deep fried halloumi balls. I've eaten more than my weight in fried halloumi, including a rival pub oriented take on this dish at a Greene King in the East Midlands, and I have to say there is something inherently special with the preparation of the dish. This squeaky cheese is not too over-seasoned, but neither dull in flavour, and is so addictive they could sell these in cones on a street corner and probably run through Cyprus' supply of the cheese in months. Instead of the uninspired mushy peas in a ramekin as a side that one would normally expect, the peas are made into a paste with lemon curd to decorate your halloumi. The plating is so pretty you could easily frame it! 1847 has a wide range of drink choices, with beers, wines, and cocktails. The beers are bottled and of a small variety, with the big focus being their wine list and custom cocktails. I tried a glass of the house white, which paired perfectly with the vegetarian entrees we enjoyed. The interior of the restaurant covers two floors in the arcade, but the seating can feel a bit cramped, especially downstairs with a lot of foot traffic. The upstairs area offers a reprieve, however a lot of noise echoes from below throughout the high ceiling. I would not recommend if you are looking for a quiet, romantic place to dine. Service at 1847 is exemplary through and through. Our table of four was very thirsty during our visit, and our server continuously was on point refilling our water glasses despite being the only diners upstairs. The pricing is a bit more than your average chain, but much lower than Brum's other celebrated high-end eateries. If you are a vegetarian, or even a carnivore looking for something a bit different, 1847 is a no-brainer!

Bistro 1847 opening in Birmingham was very warmly welcomed to the (very slowly growing)…read moreVegetarian/Vegan scene. After already having two successful restaurants in Manchester, I was very excited about visiting Bistro 1847 after hearing only good things about it. Set in the beautiful Great Western Arcade, I thought it was strange to open a restaurant here. Especially after 6pm it is the only place open usually! But the atmosphere of the restaurant complements the peacefulness of the arcade. The interior of the Bistro is minimalistic and modern. Being someone who is allergic to Dairy and Wheat intolerant (I know!), Bistro 1847 is one of few places I don't feel weird at. The whole menu is Vegetarian, with dishes that can be adjusted to vegan or gluten free or both in my view. My and my friend were feeling fat so we both went for three courses. I had the curried Swede Cauliflower, Cashew nut butter and cinnamon cornflakes. So many flavours going on in a small parcel was a great choice. For the main I had "Oh I do like to be beside the seaside" (all dishes have these quirky little names!) which is a modern Veggie twist on fish and chips in case you hadn't guessed! I had the vegan version which had two huge pieces of smoked tofu which I really struggled to finish along with the chunky chips! I wasn't defeated and enjoyed all parts of the meal. For desert I had the "Good ol fashioned lover boy" I enjoyed it although I thought maybe the chocolate was a bit over powering as was so much going on. But the jelly was a nice compliment to the richness. The menu contains a large selection of cocktails and deserts for sharing if you and your friends are in search of lots of sweetness. This was my third visit on a Sunday since opening and has been progressively busier each time which is great to see. Bistro 1847 is a very relaxing experience and ideal place for a date or a catch up with a friend. And of course the food is amazing!

It was almost entirely unseasoned, so I had to add plenty of salt, pepper and hot sauce. Huge portion and very filling. Not the most culinarily exciting dish but it was very solid. Super friendly service and the food came out in under 10 minutes. Recommended spot.

Regardless of whether you agree with someone's politics, treating a customer this way is completely disrespectful. People have the right to express their opinions, peacefully protest, and document what's happening around them. You don't have to agree with someone to respect their rights. And honestly, this is the kind of situation that makes a business look bad. One interaction can leave a lasting impression on customers and the community. If you represent a business, professionalism and respect should come before personal or political disagreements. A business should not be in operation if it is going to discriminate against people because of their beliefs or peaceful expression. You can disagree with someone's beliefs without disrespecting them. America is built on the freedom to disagree, speak your mind, and peacefully express yourself. And after seeing that cashiers interaction I would never want to go to a place like this. She was extremely rude and had the worst attitude.

First of all because I live nowhere near Dudley Road but I've been known to drive there *just* to go to The Frying Pan. That's a 6 mile round trip....for chips. Why else? Well, if you go at around the 7pm mark, or when there is a big game about to start on TV, the queue is literally out of the door...and there are plenty of other fast food places within easy walking distance. Why would people risk missing the kick off, or making their family wait? Because The Frying Pan is the best, that's why. Why do I love The Frying Pan? The food is fresh, the ingredients are good, the service is quick and friendly and it's pretty good value for money. It's pretty easy to make a lousy job of fish and chips, but it takes something special to make it this good.
