Despite the large number of takeaways located on this particular stretch of the Bristol Road South in Northfield, I believe I'm right in saying that Southside Fish Bar is one of only a couple of fish and chip shops in the immediate vicinity, which is somewhat surprising. As you'd expect, Southside is extremely popular with the locals, and it's not at all difficult to see why. The food is delicious, some of the best fish and chips I've ever had (coming from someone who doesn't even really like fish!), and the prices are excellent (a cone of chips sets you back an entire £1, small cod is £3, with generous portions). The residents of Northfield could be in dire straits with so few fish and chip shops around, but thankfully Southside is good enough to satisfy them all. read more
