Pineapple Fish Bar

This is a fairly decent chip shop and has been there for as long as I can remember, which is a long time, 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.

I used to go here back in the day when I was at sixth form across the road. Instead of sandwiches or 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.

Great Chippy, best chips in Kings Heath! staff always have a smile and chit chat if wating for food to cook.
