Streetly Fish Bar

I wish I’d created chip shops. It’s such an easy concept yet some people can’t quite grasp the idea. Streetly Fish Bar needs to remember what they set out to do in the chippy world.
I had a couple of friends around for a nameless reality TV final and it was a toss up between ordering a curry or saving a bit of money and popping to the chippy. The chippy will be quicker… we thought.
I went with roe and chips and my two friends went with cod and chips. Easy, popular orders… you would think. We queued for a good 10 minutes and when we finally got served we were told we would have to wait 25 minutes for the fish. Considering it was peak time on a Saturday evening we expected them to have such a popular choice ready, or at least only a few minutes away from being ready — like most chippies I know. Nobody lifted an eyelid so it seemed this is normal here.
Eventually when it was ready, we legged it home and got ready to stuff ourselves with rubbish TV and fish and chips. Unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be. The chips were nearly cold and the fish just didn’t taste very good. I’d like to think that we just caught them on a bad night as it was very busy, but the lack of customer service gives me little enthusiasm to go again.
Again…Streetly Fish Bar need to remember why they set out as a chippy in the first place. Apologising is a good start or at best, give us a smile!

When it comes to that great British tradition of a fish supper on a Friday night it doesn’t get much better than Streetly Fish Bar.
Hot, fat potatoes dusted in salt, splashed with vinegar, lightly battered cod or haddock, crisp with a melt in the mouth texture. Mmmm, it’s no wonder much of the nation is obese with places like this around making it impossible to resist the tempting smells bellowing out, sucked into the atmosphere by the fryers extraction fans. The smell should be bottled and sold as air-​freshener! There’s no need to visit the sea-​side to find the best fish ‘n’ chips around, nip over to Streetly and this shop will give any sea-​fronted fryer a definite run for its money.
For those concerned about their fatty arteries, Streetly Fish Bar now offers cholesterol free frying, nice touch. And they’re proud to extend their working week by now opening on a Sunday such is the demand.
