One of the best chip shops around. So beautiful. And has always got seats free. But not always open always check the times. AMAZING

Probably not as new as I think it is Be My Chip has exploited the need for a proper Fish and Chip…read moreshop on Sutton's High Street. Ideally situated near a school and 6th form college, there's a captive audience to make lunchtimes a real rush. Just in case you were in any doubts of its tuck-shop credentials, chocolate, crisps and pop are on sale for those who just can't face school dinners. Don't tell Jamie Oliver. I prefer to go on an evening when the customers become a little older. The Chicken Meat and Chips with lashings of salad and mayonnaise is particularly nice, and the handy trays means there's no washing up. At this time of night parking isn't too much of a problem, although it's restricted somewhat. There is a little car park round the back, although we prefer to pull up outside where there's a series of bays on the opposite side of the road. I don't fancy your chances of finding a space in the daytime though!

The pun on which the name was based has, if not on the proprietors, surely been lost by now on the…read morecustomer. But that's the only complaint really - this is a large, traditional chip shop with a cracking menu and rave reviews. It also has the cutest single table and seat outside for anyone brave enough to open their wrapping in full gaze of passing motorists. I don't know what's the greatest praise I've heard for it: that a friend walks four miles there and back so Be My Chip's chips can be his chips, or that when seeking to extend its hours of operation, workers from the court, fire and police stations over the road wrote to the council offering letters of support. So what's the deal? Can't its batter be beaten? It's not so much that the food is spectacularly different or super-cheap, rather that it's rare these days to enter a chip shop of this size, slightly romantically stepping down from street level to go inside. Local businesses and students from the neighbouring college form a swathe of its customer base, which isn't too shabby given a main road location which doesn't encourage residential trade. Parking, then, becomes an issue outside of office hours as you'll likely be driving so that you can (was this the pun) be a guest. But you should be able to find a legitimate bay outside the police station and former court building on the opposite side of the street. It might be a scramble for that table though.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is the oldest business in Mere Green. It's been here for years and,…read moreas such, has a firm and loyal fan base. The place is bright and clean and the service is friendly and efficient. I've seen better menus at other chippies but I knew what I wanted. A bit of everything! My hubby agreed to go along with my choices so I ordered us a large bag of chips and then a piece of Roe, a mini fish, a scallop, a saveloy and a battered sausage. Trust me if you break it down there really isn't that much there. Yes we're naughty! Remember that if you're ordering certain things from the menu you might need to let the staff know straight away so they can start cooking it. One more thing to be aware of - Sutton chippy prices can seem quite high to the uninitiated. The quality of food on offer though does reflect the prices you'll pay. Parking here is a bloody nightmare! It's always been a problem, so the best way around it is it to park a few minutes away in Sainsbury's car park and just walk up. The car park across the road is very small and is often congested, I wouldn't suggest parking here as you may not be able to get out!

A mainstay of commercial Four Oaks for decades, this chippy simply IS Mere Green. As businesses…read morecome and go, particularly, in the wake of a doomed regeneration bid for the leafy area, this enterprise remains a constant. It is tried and trusted, a fixture of hundreds of local people's weekly routines, stretching back well into the 80s. Queues are not uncommon at this clean, bright, no-nonsense venue. Parking may be an issue, as double yellow lines on the residential street on which it's based can make nipping in and out tricky. A recently added pedestrian crossing, a bus route, and off-street parking for bank customers on a small patch of land opposite compound the difficulty, but the truth is, people have been coping for years. I know a few first-time customers who have remarked on the price being slightly more than they're used to. But, if their complaint isn't empty, two things must be considered: The business is located in Birmingham's most economically-buoyant ward and also, fresh fish simply isn't comparable as a takeaway product with pizza or fast-food burgers. Forget little parcels, or wrapping being undone only to give way to a measly tray, this is your classic, sizeable, how-it-used-to-be serving. The smell is enough to drive you crackers.

Finally Mere Green has a second chippy. However, on visiting you could be forgiven for thinking…read moreyou've got your Mere Green maths wrong. This is like two chippies in one. Part old fashioned traditional England. Part sun-kissed Mediterranean flavours. When I arrived with my husband early on a Tuesday evening there was already a substantial queue. I wondered whether this could be attributed in part to the sheer varieties of foods on sale. With a menu so comprehensive, customers take time to select their choices and the staff take their time to prepare the orders. However, it's nice to go to a chippy where food doesn't feel like it's being turned out on a production line. In any case, we took advantage of the queues by marvelling at the freshly prepared Kofta Kebabs, Grilled Corn, Mixed Mediterranean Veg and Fresh Greek Salads. Despite these choices, we needed to check they could do our favourites well, first. So we went down the English seaside route going for traditional fish and chips. The Prime Scottish Cod was huge and gorgeous and at £4.30 was reasonably priced in an area known for expensive chippies. A side of breaded mushrooms was an unusual treat from the quirky menu. This is a great addition to Mere Green. The only question is, is it a pie and sausage night or an evening for fresh lamb shish with taramasalata?

It was suggested I take a trip to this new chippy that opened up in Mere Green. So after a skin…read morefull last Friday I was being driven past and demanded that we stop off for food. Once inside I immediately noticed that this wasn't just any old chippy. It was a Mediterranean Grill too. Freshly cooked Kebabs on an open flame! Once I had stopped salivating at the menu and decided which of the delicious kebabs would suit my gut full of beer my order went in. My girlfriend, who wasn't hungry at all, was forced to order the same. After waiting around ten minutes for my meat to be freshly cooked I was asked the questions which are music to my ears... salad and chilli sauce? Shortly after that I was clutching an empty wrapper. Nuff said!

Once again this is a takeaway place where you can get all the traditional takeaway food such as; fish, fried chicken, pies and pizzas. What I like about this place is the fish. They serve tasty fish, better fish than some of the other fish bars within the area. It's not just me that loves their fish; quite a few other people do as well; as there are usually a few people in there. The staff knows how to handle this because there's always a fast paced service; so you won't be stood in there for too long. If you are looking for reasonable priced meals, they do have that as well; so you are bound to find a great meal.
