It is quite small, but it is clean and tidy and well-lit inside. I did not wait too long to be served and I settled with cod and chips. I noticed that they also served fried chicken and pies too, which I may contemplate next time. The man that served me was really chatty and very friendly, even though he was busy with my order and someone else's at the same time. He seemed to love what he was doing. The prices were fairly cheap and the portion sizes were more than enough. The food itself was brilliant, not a soggy chip in sight! It certainly filled me up and I will definitely be returning to this chippy soon!

I think the fact that the owners of this takeaway started out with just Sophie's Choice (the sister…read moreshop around the corner) and eventually grew to the point where they had to open a separate pizza place (Sophie's Pizza) and then this slightly smaller Sophie's 2 is testament to the fact that they know their takeaway food. I used to go to the original Sophie's Choice when I was much younger and I watched it grow and grow over the years, and this was purely because of the quality of their food. The burgers and kebabs were delicious and if you wanted you could actually dine in and eat your chips on a plate with a knife and fork! Anyway, they have consistently made great takeaway food and expanded, and that's where Sophie's 2 comes in. Essentially Sophies 2 is the same as Sophie's Choice, the same menu, the same good food, they just take care of the delivery side of the restaurants too. While this is a review for Sophie's 2 it can be applied to any of the 3 restaurants as they are all next to each other, Sophie's is a great chippy/fast food takeaway that you can even eat in. Top notch nosh too.

I have got to say Sophie's have gone down hill in the last 5 years the quality is just not there…read moreanymore witch is a shame as I used to look forward to my Saturday afternoon treat. I have used Sophie's all my life and up until resantly wouldn't of dreamed of going anywhere else but I now find myself ordering a pizza or looking for a different chippy there are a few around but all lacking good food I have found 2 that I use now dads lane and the cod pot both of these shops remind me of why I used to love Sophie's clean friendly well staffed and fantastic quality now I have the problem of which of those 2 I am going to use I hope Sophie's goes back to what it was before they became an empire as they were 100% better then

One of the best fish and chip shops in Kings Norton is Tony's on The Fold for two reasons - because…read morethe food is delicious and because they have some cracking special offers so it's cheaper to feed our family of five than any other chippy in the area. The staff behind the counter are great, really helpful and accommodating. They are always clean and the women have their hair tied back tidily so there is never any risk of hairs in your food - yuck! The food is always excellent and there's a brilliant choice. Of course, it's chips with everything - it's a chippy, what do you expect? I find the chips always taste really fresh and I never get the impression that they have been warmed up in the afternoon after the lunchtime rush. My favourite meal here is the standard fish and chips with curry sauce which is always delicious. This is on special offer at around £1.75 and the portion sizes are large so if I'm not feeling hungry then I can easily split my portion with my daughter thereby saving even more money. Another thing I like about this chippy is the fact that the chicken is always cooked beautifully, other chippys in the area serve the chicken still a bit pink in the middle but here it's moist and perfectly cooked. We all enjoy eating from Tony's and have never once had cause to complain about anything from here, I've been using it for years on and off and think it's great. One other thing worth mentioning is the curry sauce - it's out of this world! Tony must add a secret ingredient because it has a lovely nuttiness that isn't apparent in any other chippys I've eaten at. You can buy everything you expect from here from pies and pasties to kebabs and burgers. There are always lots of special offers on cards behind the counter and these change from one month to another, although luckily my favourites always seem to be on offer which is a nice break for my purse! There are plenty of soft drinks to choose from in cans and bottles so always something to quench my thirst after a hot salty bag of chips. When I visit here I usually spend around £8 and this feeds a bloke with a massive appetite, me with a much more modest one, two children with hollow legs and a baby who will eat anything that's put in front of her!

Every time you go to Cotteridge you notice another Sohpie's outlet. There are now three, and this…read moreis the one dedicated to pizzas. There is a small seating area outside, but you'll be sitting in British weather and on a traffic island next to the busy Pershore Road, so it's neither Rome nor romantic. That said, it's nice they've made an effort for their punters. Their pizza is pretty good, not amazing, but pretty good and comes at a reasonable price. It's entirely possible that the three Sophie's outlets currently dotted either side of the traffic island in Cotteridge are connected by a series of underground tunnels, and that those in charge are secretly colonising the hub of B30 by stealth, taking over the shop units from a subterranean operations base. At some point Cotteridge will be renamed Sophietown.

After a recent chat with fellow Yelper Emma C about cool places in Cotteridge, I remembered that I…read morehadn't reviewed Sophie's Pizza, a terrible oversight on my part. Sophie's Pizza is amazing. The staff are friendly, there's a seating area inside and out, it's cheap and cheerful and the food is really good. The pizza can be a little on the greasy side, but you don't order a pizza for the health benefits. My favourite has to be the Italian BBQ. They also do huge bowls of pasta with homemade sauce (it is home made as well, I watched them make it once) and what ever toppings you want. There are burgers too, which are huge! They also have a lunch menu, served til 3pm with wraps, baguttes, jacket spuds and paninis. Cheap, cheerful and tasty. Sophie's Pizza is my favourite spot to grab lunch/dinner/second breakfast in Cotteridge.

I'm biased because Sophie's is my local chippy, but these the best chips in Brum and the best part…read morethey deliver. I know, a chippy that delivers, what a novel concept! The only fault can find with Sophie's is that sometimes the chicken is a little dry, but in the grand scheme of things, that's a tiny fault. Staff are friendly too. If you're ever in Cotteridge, pay them a visit (or their pizza place over the road,which s just as nice)

Sophies Choice holds a special place in my heart as the place where my nan and I would go and get…read morethe lunchtime special. Mini Fish and Chips, with mushy peas and curry sauce. I made a return visit recently and happy to say it hasn't changed much! It seems to have a faithfull following and is the kind if chip shop were you can have you food served on a plate with an accompanying cup of tea, which I must say in my experience is pretty rare! The chips were crisp and hot and the fish soft under a crunchy batter. The thought of which is stirring a serious fish and chips craving in me! Sophies Choice offers good quality fish and chips with the novel option of a plate and some serious cutlery. You can name another chip shop that offers cups of tea then i'd like to hear about it!

I used to go here back in the day when I was at sixth form across the road. Instead of sandwiches…read moreor school dinners we'd sometimes nip to the chippie to grab a scallop or if we felt more indulgent a mini fish and chips. Returning recently I thought the chips were as great as I'd remembered them but I've tasted better battered cod. It may very well be one of those things where the taste and smell attributed to fond memories can rarely be recaptured exactly as you remembered them. It wasn't very busy when I went and for my local chippies the queue can sometimes be out the door. It may not be the most attractive of chip shops from the outside but definitely a great place to pick up a cone of chips.

This is a fairly decent chip shop and has been there for as long as I can remember, which is a long…read moretime, and so they must be doing the right things. The fish and chips are fairly reasonably priced and always of a good quality. It's not quite to the standard of Dads Lane, but few are. It is easier to park outside this place, which might just swing it for you if you are in a hurry. This place is famous mostly for being a landmark, and it's fairly unique for Birmingham for a landmark that isn't a roundabout or a pub. Ask a Brummie for directions and you will be given a list of pubs and traffic islands that get you from A to B. Ask a Brummie for directions around the B14 & B30 postcodes and the Pineapple Fish Bar will almost certainly crop up. Bit of local trivia for you, there.
