Sir Harry’s Chippy

Sir Harry’s Chippy, while used to be good, now is the place to go if you want stale, cold inedible chips without any kind of flavouring (no salt, vinegar, dips etc) and more batter than cod.
Want to be insulted and lied to? This is the place to go! Feel like using Just-​Eat to order from here? Go for it! Sir Harry’s will accept your order, tell you your food will be delivered within forty minutes, take your money and then say an hour later that Just-​Eat had never given them your order and Sir Harry’s is blameless! But wait, you have PROOF from Just-​Eat that Sir Harry’s has accepted your order? That is funny because Sir Harry’s has JUST NOW FOUND YOUR ORDER (You know, the one they never received?) and it will be with you in twenty minutes. Feeling ignored? Don’t worry, the helpful staff at Sir Harry’s will helpfully loudly gossip about you and your order this entire time you’re trying to sort this farce out.
Let’s fast forward twenty minutes to the joyous occasion of your food’s arrival. Hmm, nothing’s happening. Funny that. Twenty five more minutes and the delivery driver has finally turned up, and — not that you’re counting — but that’s one hour and approximately five minutes AFTER the estimated delivery time. So delivery takes one hour forty five minutes. Plus one reminder.
Where was I? Oh yes, it feels like Christmas, your food has arrived and you eagerly unbox (not unwrap mind you — Sir Harry’s is far too posh to wrap their chips) your food. Wow, cold, unseasoned manky looking chips — and how novel — some are green and black! You gasp, you’ve made a mistake, there IS some seasoning oh joy of joys! Sir Harry’s has kindly seasoned your meal with a short thick curly black hair. Delicious.
Oh, and they didn’t deliver the correct drinks. Cheers for that.

Basically put an order through with just eat… and everything went down from there (not with just eat bear in mind it was this place).
Really felt like some good fish and chips, and after waiting an hour and nothing turning up I gave them a ring. Apparently my order hadn’t come through, after asking my address about three times from three different people (whilst I could hear them muttering about me in the background). When I brought up the fact that the order went through ok at just eat, suddenly they found it. I had to ask for compensation which was a bottle of pop. (On top of the one I ordered). Guy on the phone said it pad be 20 – 30 mins.
45 mins after I am chatting to just eat as the food still hasn’t arrived. Doorbell rings, I don’t get a sincere thank you, but I accept the fact ok, it’s at least here now.
Then I realise that not only have they sent a drink wrong, the food is pretty cold, and to be honest unedible. The fish and chips wasn’t even salted or vinegared! Then we find a hair in the food. This is it, I’m chatting to the just eat lady again. I just want a refund at this point.
The restaurant have the audacity to tell the just eat representative that they will no longer take orders from me. I wasn’t the one who lost an order, let hair in the food and let it get almost stale tasting (not that I would use this place again to be honest!)
Absolutely disgusted.

Sir Harry’s is more than just a chip shop it is a stop off for hungry cricket fans who have spent the day sinking ludicrously expensive beer at the nearby Edgbaston Cricket Ground. Obviously this place does good fish and chips; after all it has to in order to keep demanding cricket fans happy. On top of that they make fantastic fresh pizzas which are certainly worth checking out for any newcomer to the establishment. Best of all they deliver so if you haven’t been to the cricket but still crave a bit of Sir Harry’s then you can have it brought straight to the door.

The humble fish and chips — the favourite dish of us Brits. But as simple as this may appear, very few can master the art of finger-​licking fish with chunky chips!
I’m fortunate enough to have a chippy close to home that has mastered it to the T. They’re very popular in the area, which is helped by the fact that student accommodation and Edgbaston Cricket Ground are just across the road.
This eatery is owned by Greek Cypriots, who I have found tend to make the tastiest chips! They revamped the place to make it cleaner and fresher-​looking than ever before (and we’ve been going there for almost three decades).
They have an extensive menu of fish, kebabs and pizzas with generous portions! If you’re unsure then there are plenty of meal combos to choose from. The staff are very welcoming and sociable. A fabulous chippy!
