Except only the very best food and service from the staff the quality is fit for the king and queen of England 100% the best

Yesterday my friend and I went to this shop, this being my first time. I am not a fish lover, but we both had 'mini' fish and chips, with mushy peas. Well, when it arrived, it was piping hot, loads of mushy peas, the chips were perfect, and the fish ( which was quite big ) was absolutely wonderful. I have never tasted batter quite like this. This 'mini ' meal filled me up so much so that although I ate all of the fish, I very reluctantly left a few of the delicious chips. we chose to eat in, which was fine, and together we made the decision that we will certainly be returning here every two or three weeks. To sum up , PERFECTION. read more

Dad's Lane chippy gets high scores across the board for a reason. The staff in there are incredibly friendly and fast at serving. The place was lovely and clean when we went in (ordered via the takeout side, not the restaurant, still yet to visit that!) I ordered a large saveloy and chips and my goodness, what a portion size! Got it home and tipped it onto a plate and it was spilling over the sides! Fantastic chips, perfectly cooked, and saveloy was great (although let's be real, they all taste the same!) My partner had the kebab meat and enjoyed it, wasn't mind blowing but certainly up to a great standard. Would absolutely return, although it gets very busy so be prepared to wait around lunch or dinner times! read more

I have a vegan sister in law that likes to grow her own vegetables and fruit on this allotment. I often wonder down to the allotment with her to see how her growing patch is coming along. Whilst I was here I enjoyed the simple tranquility that the area bought. I was amazed by the amount of people that have an allotment here in Birmingham. We got talking to a few of the other allotment owners and they were more than happy to provide us with clippings, advice and their opinions on gardening. After I left the allotment I decided to go online and check to see if I could get an allotment for myself. They sent me all of the forms with a selection of allotments to choose from. I decided to fill out the forms and then call the hotline. When I did I was told that the waiting list for an allotment in Birmingham is 2 years. I still don't have an allotment, but I am waiting. I look forward to the day that I can join in with my sister in law in some city based gardening. read more

I used to have a plot here a few years ago, so do admit to be being totally biased about how lovely it is. We grew asparagus, strawberries, potatoes, garlic and sweetcorn to name but a few. Had to give it up when we moved slightly further away and two children came along. Stick with growing things in the back garden now. The entrance is at the end of the row of shops on Dads Lane, a bit up from the fish and chip shop. I'm mentioning it as they have open days periodically and the next one is coming up on 24th June from 1pm-5pm. They grow a whole load of stuff on this site and it's packed full of inspiration to grow your own. The plot holders have a wealth of experience and knowledge to share with anyone who is interested. If you want to see what having an allotment is all about, this is a great place to go. The site is also developing a wlid life garden and nature habitat and invite local schools to pop along and see what growing is all about. I would recommend popping along to the open day and keeping your eyes open for the next one if you can't make this one. read more

See all

Dad's Lane Fish and Chip Bar isn't my local fish and chip shop but it's the one I always go to as it's easily the best in the Moseley-Kings Heath area. It appears that lots of people agree with me too as most evenings the queue goes out of the door and the restaurant (next door to the takeaway) is busy. With lots on offer that caters to omnivores, pescatarians and vegetarians, the chips are always tasty, the batter always crisp and sometimes they even sell doughnuts! My personal favourites are the large battered sausage and a cone of chips (with a small pot of curry sauce) and the small chicken meat and chips with curry sauce. Both are filling and yummy and the chips make great chip butties. read more

Chips shops are two a penny on the nearby High Street, and as part of their market is drunk people at closing time, they can sometimes compromise on quality. Truth. In contrast, Dad's Lane Fish and Chip Bar cater for the family eaters, who after getting their order hurry home by car to tip out quality fresh-cooked golden fried food onto plates to devour in front of the telly. Cod, Haddock and Plaice are fish that are available and there may be some other variety in the catch as well. The queue on a Friday night is testament to the quality of this legendary fish and chips shop. It stretches out of the door and well onto the pavement, with people in happy anticipation of eating what are the best fish suppers in Birmingham. You are never waiting long though as there are enough staff to co-ordinate the operation so that the queue goes down quickly and that your order is delivered in one go and hot. My recommendation is to buy a family portion of chips. This feeds three if you've got accompaniments, and it keeps itself and everything else in your feast-bag hotter for longer, which is handy if you're more than a short drive away. read more

Praise be to the lard! Perfect for a mid week chippy tea. The finest fresh fried fish and chips to die for. There are two halves to the Dads Lane Fish Bar, the takeaway and the restaurant, I always opt for a seat and waitress service. It offers great value for money, I'm not saying it's cheap as chips, I'm saying it's reasonably priced and consistently serves up great quality freshly cooked fish. And the batter's beautiful, no reheated armour plating on the haddock here. read more

Dads Lane Fish & Chip Bar - Fish suppers at Dads Lane - Fish & Chips Near Me - Birmingham, XWM

Without a doubt one of my favourite places in South Brum. Until about a year ago I had a plot here and spent many, many happy hours down here, digging in the peaceful surroundings. This place also has a bar. Need I say more? If you want a plot here then you may struggle, or have to join a waiting list. My advice would be to buy a few pints in the bar and get chatting to those involved with running the place....that's how we jumped the queue! There is a cabal of old timers here who can be annoying and very helpful in equal measure. I was told by one that I was "digging wrong", and I'm not sure that is even possible. That said, they are always generous with cuttings and produce, and are really just glad to have some (relative) young 'uns to speak to. read more

I think this is the best chip shop in Brum! or at least near to me (Kings Heath). I've worked in a chip shop so feel I can say quite confidently that they do great fish and chips. I've noticed that they close early (10 or 10.30pm) and I think also are closed on Mondays. They always seem to have long queues when I'm passing which is always a great sign too. Have a restaurant attached too if you fancy eating in. read more

Fantastic fish and chips and has won several awards to prove it! At times there can be quite a queue for the take away but the service is quick and you know that the food is freshly cooked. The staff are always very helpful and polite and the attached restaurant always seems to be full, although I've never been it does have a good reputation. There are cheaper Fish and Chip shops around but this is definitely worth the money, the fish literally melts in the mouth. Recommended!! read more

Best chippy in Birmingham! I miss living in Kings Heath as sadly I now live too far to get chips from here! It appears that a lot of people agree that is it great because there is always queues outside the door. The chips are of a good quality and taste fresh. The potato scallops are also really good as well and the curry sauce. A great value for money and the staff are really friendly. The food is worth the wait in the queue! read more

Haven't been here for a while unfortunately but this place is the king of fast food,brilliant service brilliant food,brilliant establishment

The best Fish & Chips I've ever had the pleasure to eat and I have tried most places locally. The take away I had next door, also run under the same roof, was equally good....so 5 stars no problem Recommend read more

Since I was a youngster Friday evening has always been fish and chip night and my family's chip shop of choice has always been Dads Lane Fish and Chips. Often on a Friday or Saturday evening there are queues out of the door and upon tasting what is on offer it is easy to see why! This place is your classic British Chippy and as such in terms of my recommendations I would say, look no further than the good old large cod and chips. The portions are generous and the taste is exquisite, in fact the food here is so impressive they even have their own restaurant attached, where customers can choose to go for the posh chippy experience by having it all served up on a plate. This may seem a bit odd to some people as fish and chips is generally conceived as being takeaway cuisine but it's certainly a worthwhile experience to eat in here. So if you feel like the dining on the age old British classic in the Stirchley/Selly Oak area then look no further than Dads Lane! read more

Absolutely the shittest fish and chips ever, the fish was 1inch long and the chips fucking tasteless. Dolphin fish and chips in raddlebarn much better. read more

Was here last Friday with my brother, we bpth had cod and regular sized chips. Chips: Portion massive and very welcome. Crispiness ie with outer skin raised off the body of the chip few,~5% chips like this Cookedness all properly cooked, cream rather than uncooked-white colour to chips Greasiness low, few 3% fat bomb saturated chips Potato inside cooked, but none fluffy and moist, more were slightly stodgy Chip score: 6/10, would do better if the interior was better texture and the exterior crispy rather than just flatly adhered Fish triple battered, large, rather strangely dry, not sure why, suspect it was re-cycled hence triple batter With the large chip portion, the triple battering of the fish bloats you out, hides the flavour of the fish and even if the fish was fresh, probably contributes to it being dried out. This is unusual, most chippies are A1 with the fish and and rubbish with the chips Fish Score: 3/10 Extra Points Potato scallop This place still serves them, 30p each. Not bad. However the one I had wasn't freshly cooked either and the potato had dried out under the heat lamp. Restaurant side- nice to be able to sit down and eat chips fresh so they don't go soggy from being wrapped up This would be especially important with nice crispy chips, but as the one's at Dad's La weren;t especially crispy it probably doesn't matter too much. Ketchup: 30p a portion Staff: young assistant lovely -although she didn't ask if we wanted the F&C open or closed. Older woman initially a bit grim but warmed up after a while. Would I go again: yes, I'd try it. Cf other chippies: not quite in the area but Chequers at Robin Hood Island has an apparently good reputation. However I tried the chips here one day, admitedly shortly after opening and they were frankly undercooked, some almost uncooked. They tasted leaden and like cardboard. Same problem as Dad's La with none crispness of the xterior and blockishness of interior chip. However as Dad's La spent the money on the energy and cooked their chips, it in the lead so far. read more

voted best Birmingham chippy 1994 and still trying to live off that by charging £10 for a piece of fish (not the best I suspect pollock) not cod Which is a cheaper alternative, not the best service either my advice 10 mins up to kings heath same meal £4 WITH chips read more

Our local chippie the chips are always spot on and also the mini fish and cod roe. My hubbie and son love the chicken kebabs. thumbs up :)
