Dads Lane Fish Bar and Restaurant

Went at 12.45pm today and there was plenty of seating space. Service was happy and the food was prepared fresh whilst the wait wasn't long. Well presented meals. The batter was crispy and the fish was nice and flaky. We ordered hake, haddock, cod, fish cake and scampi; all fresh and cooked on the spot. To be honest, it was a nice place to eat and had a pleasant and tranquil atmosphere. Would highly recommend the restaurant. There was plenty of flavour and generous amounts of sauces. We didn't have to ask for more. The curry sauce was spot on! The mushy peas weren't dry like other places and the chips looked home cut and cooked. Was a good place to take a lunch break, from work.

A very nice fish and chips spot. Went with small fish and chips, decent size portion of chips. Everything is cooked fresh, tasted nice . Would have loved the fish to be crispy but it still did the job. Curry sauce was delicious especially for the price, very cheap. Will definitely be returning in the future.

Visited for the first time today 5pm. Paid £11 for cod and chips. I never mind paying a lot if the food is good. Unfortunately the fish and chips were stale. The batter was dark brown. I'm guessing I got a fish cooked early afternoon which may have been reheated. Disappointed as lots of people rave about how good it is. Unfortunately I won't be a returning customer.

My cultural culinary roots are very much tied to the Fish and Chips takeaway. As simplistic as the experience can be, it can also, given the correct venue, offer an experience that pull on the heart strings. A fish and chip shop like Dad’s Lane Fish Bar took my expectations to a new level. First of all, it has a restaurant, which is themed to match its dishes. The service is friendly, warm and chatty with its Greek Cypriot roots. The owner informed me that the venue has been running for 15 years. It is obvious to see why. The food is sensational. Everything is prepared fresh. The fish is succulent. The chips have bounce and, given my lean, the peas had substance. I don’t remember enjoying fish and chips this much for a long long time. Dad’s Lane Fish Bar is up there with the mighty Bedders, arguably Birmingham’s finest. Thank you for offering a memorable experience.

Very nice food and excellent service. Cod and scampi are very fresh and the chips are chunky and fluffy. Mediterranean chicken is a bit too minty but the doner is on point. Very nice seating area next to the main kitchen but also upstairs if you want more of a restaurant feel. Once you are seated a server comes to take your order and food is with you in good time. Would highly recommend a visit if you are in the area.
