Walked in after a 35 min drive based on a recommendation. Fish was fried to perfection. Not under. Not over. Perfection. Batter was bubbly and light yet creamy enough to cover the fish inside with a sweet hinting taste that true batter should carry. The chips. Solid golden crisp on outside. Fluffy inside with no oil run off or burns. The oil and temperature clearly maintained
I cannot fault them. Not many places even my own local favourites in birmingham have the traditional taste look and freshness on point like this. It isnt modern fish and chips. Its what it was and should have stayed like. Beautiful
The cheapest option? Certainly not. The best option in the area? Almost certainly!
Rothley Fisheries is easily one of the best 'chippies' in the area, although to call it that is probably to do it a disservice. There is an excellent range of chip shop staples on the menu, which are freshly cooked or to order - with little if anything that's been hanging around which was cooked hours ago. There's also a splendid range of Greek gyros and similar dishes - which I would highly recommend even if they take a few minutes to assemble. The bread is a particular delight, and a special recommendation for the chicken gyros - which comes with a good portion of chips so don't order extra if you don't want it!
Chip portions come in three sizes small, regular and large - even a regular is a GENEROUS portion, so choose your size wisely.
Oh, and there's a handy small car park just across the road so it's easy enough to pop over and make your order - although I think they take online and telephone orders too. The staff are friendly and highly efficient, which is a real change from some other places in the area!
Booked a table for 3 for hubby’s birthday(31/8) and when we arrived the table was decorated which was a lovely touch, hubby and son had Fish and chips and I had a the mixed gyro, the Tzatziki was homemade and so fresh, was delicious.
Fish and chips were fresh, hot and clear plates all round!
Thank you to our lovely waitress as well!
