[@garbeal2397]

Surely the plastic on top makes the batter go soggy?

[@MotoRust]

plastic?

[@Kizzster]

If it's not wrapped in paper or in a cardboard box it will be soggy

[@waqqy1416]

My guy said Jummah Mubarak 😂😂 .... For anyone wondering, it's when Muslims go the Mosque on a Friday to pray, he's saying have a blessed Friday.

[@nks80]

I’ve eaten at many chip shops around brum being a truck driver around the city & bedders ain’t what it used to be in the 90’s & early 2000’s. The best chippy in brum is dads lane in stirchley. Haven’t found one better than that place & I’ve been to hundreds of different places over the last 20 years

[@ryanfrombrum]

good call mate

[@prestwickpioneer3474]

My fave is Pisces Sheldon and No.2 is Dads Lane. Top quality every time.

So many people say that.

[@m.a4664]

Should’ve gotten the fried onions on top quality! While you’re in brum lad try khans at ladypool road the lamb curry and chips is a dime!! Grillz and Afrikana great food too!

[@OBELISK3210]

I second this, I know people that travel opposite side of brum to go khans..I mean ladypool rd has some if the best spots for that type of food anyways.

[@galaxy2208]

There fucking dead mate grow some taste buds

[@weshouldsaveourselves6780]

@@galaxy2208 taste is subjective.

[@thechipman2473]

The batter probably went soggy because you left it 20 minutes before you actually ate it? Top chip shop.

[@weeddegree]

Stone cross chippy for the lamb bro.. you said you were on it

[@shauns621]

The reason why the batter was soggy is because it was wrapped up if you was able to sit in and eat off a plate it would've been a different experience.. i'm from brum and I go bedders a lot for me its the best fish and chips I've had.. im quite let down at the fact you didn't enjoy it as much as I thought you would. Please visit again when life is back to normal and sit in 👊🏻👍🙏🏻

[@gibbo822]

Or just don't have salt and vinegar and do it after and let it breathe for 2 mins did the exact same today was banging

[@jackcass5584]

Bedders use to be the best about 15 years ago all the good chippys are nothing like they once was bog standard now even dads lane stirchley is standard now its a shame but thats how it is times are changing were changing old school chip shops are a dying breed

[@depechem0demusic]

Portion was small-the fish didn’t look anything to dance about and the chips looked slightly anemic.It looked more like a 6/10 to me.I think we can all safely say the Black Country has the best fish and chips in the Midlands

[@cyruslavill5163]

Don’t rate it unless you’ve tried it, it’s one of the best fish n chips out there

[@alexgriffiths1314]

The covered wagon for some nice Indian food. The chip shed for some great fish and chips. Love it

[@goozerman1]

that looked below par and a greasefest to boot 4/10, i think matt got caught up with bedders hype, nice to see friendly locals.

[@dean9330]

Brummies aren’t friendly people. It must of been all for the cameras

[@deanburke8488]

Matt im so happy that you went here pal :) its a great place but much better if you eat in and get the double fish and crispy bits on top. I was very concerned that after you went to the two worse chippys in my hometown that you would think birmingham food is terrible hopefully we have redeemed ourselves a bit. Please try cranes park fish bar in sheldon birmingham its a really great place you would love it. Keep up the great work you and ur missus are incredible 👍🏻

[@clarecadman5330]

You are meant to have the onions in vinegar for a true bedders experience not curry sauce

[@shahids786]

Over rated shop

[@haidera625]

Go to Akbars on Hagley Road Birmingham delicious food you won't be disappointed, and also Afrikana Birmingham thank me later brittania on the hobmoor Road in Birmingham they do fish and chips it's really nice it's alot better thn bedders bigger fish and crispy to wht you was eating it used to be called Chris and lucias before the new owners took over but kept the recipe the same check it out

[@diyjan2580]

Akbars restaurant is pants

[@haidera625]

It's alright when I go

[@lfcmanlfc7916]

Flippin curry sause with fish and chips just Stop it rite now ffs garlic sause or just salt an vinegar

[@jonathanwalker8730]

Bedders has an amazing reputation locally, and yes, there's always a queue outside, which suggests an amazing experience awaits inside. I have been there on three occasions, a treat by my parents on their wedding anniversaries as they married nearby. Bedders serves absolutely average, bog-standard, small portion fish and chips. Their reputation is mystifying. I've heard some people say that the dining experience makes it worth it. The dining experience consists of sitting in a café eating fish and chips. Also - seven quid for fish and chips? Really? I don't mean to be negative about the place, it is what it is, but I've always been puzzled by why people are so crazy the Bedders experience.

[@billiabuscricketeer8149]

People like Bedders because the food is always hot and fresh, the restaurant is always immaculately clean and the options for eat in fish and chips, of this quality at least, are incredibly limited in this part of Birmingham. Also factored into the cost is a drink, a sauce, pickled onions and bread and butter so £7 doesn't seem too steep.

[@AZK91]

I dunno, I'm from west London and it's been a good few years since I've last seen fish & chips for anything below £7 tbh.

[@macukay764]

SEASHELL fish 🐟 and chips 🍟 next please Lisson Grove NW8 Marylebone London

[@thebrummycarper3866]

Water orton fish babe Coleshill for the best fish and chips or brook vale chippy for a battered beef burger 🍔

[@jamesrodger3275]

You have to try Otto's wood fired pizza in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter mate.

[@diyjan2580]

Before the change of ownership around 2008 bedders never did curry sauce.

[@MuhammadAli-kv5oe]

More hype than substance then, never been but Dads lane chippy in Birmingham is my favourite.

[@Islam_is_the_truth.4]

Is it halal bro?

[@Ilovewatchingsupernaturalparan]

@@Islam_is_the_truth.4...Of course it is.

[@brumsgrub8633]

Yes, dad's lane is great

[@zedman6473]

Love the fish from there.

[@Roaaarry]

@@Islam_is_the_truth.4 Halal fish 🤣 man has jokez

[@Rav_Kooch]

Bedders is more about the dining in experience. Never takeaway.

[@OriginalNoseBleed]

If your In the Midlands you have to go Blackcountry for Fish and chips( Brum chippies are weak) especially the locally famous orange chips(battered chips) try Royals in Bilston, BlackCountry fryer Great bridge or Scott's Coseley ask for orange chips

[@prestwickpioneer3474]

Having had my dinner from Carols Chippy tonight I totally agree, though it’s arguable if Darlaston is true Black Country or just on the border. But it was proper good. Really nice battered chips and the fish was top quality.

[@1mannik]

Looks average.... get yourself to Yorkshire for some proper fish & chips

[@phehibs]

Looked poor. 3/10. Scored too high.

[@ryanfewtrell7928]

Was the business about 20 years ago Now not the business !!!!!

[@Yoshi2211-u8j]

If your still in Birmingham you need to try a slice of New York, the do such good and unique food such as a burger in a calzone, a burger with donuts as buns. Burgers all hand made. If your gonna try somewhere in Birmingham that has to be one!!

[@chrishardy3473]

🤣🤣 have a day off mate

[@depechem0demusic]

The burgers in donuts isn’t a new thing though-and not really a reason to visit the joint 🥴🥴

[@flashbevan9201]

I can vouch for this one. The food is amazing . There is a section on the menu called "and a diet coke please" . They do buffalo wings tossed in Frank's hot sauce served with a blue cheese dip. THIS IS A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN. Please have a look at the menu. You won't be disappointed

[@iam_mono1892]

Over battered, dip then drip 💧 before frying. Good fish needs to be lightly battered

[@SeeNITb4u]

I've not had Bedders for years but you need the crispy bits and onions too if you're having a bedders 😋

[@MrPizzBeats]

best fish and chips in the West Midlands is george and helens ! You've got to try it

[@MrPizzBeats]

its in Birmingham btw so also best in Brum

[@stevebarker7552]

Not sure about "one size and two types of fish only"... I like plaice.... sometimes rock. Cod is ok....but boring. £6.90? just under par. Good there. The Fish and Chip shop Stevenage is best.

[@ILLEGALLOGIC]

I've had their fish and chips a few times now and they are not much different to any other average chippy. When the original family were there they were so much better because they used better quality oil, Very thin batter and the oil temperature was much hotter as in when they threw the chips in it was almost like an explosion rather than a quite sizzle like most chippies. The batter was thin and crispy and not holding too much grease and the chips were crispy on the outside and almost like mashed potatoes on the inside and very much like home cooked chips. I remember fish and chips, peas a cup of tea and bread and butter for 60p back in 1983. They were amazing then.

[@bigmike1232]

You’ve paid £6 for a meal that literally sits in your hand....absolutely not

[@chrishardy3473]

Bro.... you just don’t understand West Midlands chippies. We are greek style up here, not traditional “English” fish and chips. There is a fundamental difference.

[@mattjh100]

Big up the Dwarz

[@jelliclecat9372]

As a local, I've always found Bedders OK, but overrated. Prefer Cyprus on Wash Lane, or Pisces further down the Coventry Road in Sheldon. Also Dad's Lane.

[@diyjan2580]

Pieces in Sheldon.

[@Chris-hm8py]

Who told you that’s the best chippy in Brum just dislike you and are taking the piss. That portion of chips would be served in a cone at my local. The batter is not crispy enough imo, it’s bog standard by looks of it!

[@marcusfirth6028]

Looks garbage, absolute underpants! Wet looking awful fish, wattery curry

[@sj6127]

Birmingham isn't known for its good chippy, get yourself down to the Grove in Handsworth and have an Indian mixed grill.

[@troopz3985]

The batter in the west Midlands is 90% like that, You're not getting better than an Indian or Caribbean in the Midlands.

[@gibbo822]

Best fosh and chips is Taks you was there the other week but went to Bobbos in blackheath.. Taks is on the high street, but thats a dump you want Taks on Coombs road (ghosty hill/ station road)

[@SajidHussain-lj5mr]

Bedders used to be nice back in the day .

[@richiemason3938]

Birmingham! The best bit about it is the exit sign lol me and the misses love going to miller and carter near Solihull when we stay

[@jonathanwalker8730]

I've been trying to escape from Birmingham since I was born here 50 years ago. Managed three years at Nottingham University, and then somehow the shithole's tractor beam dragged me back. If, however, you are negotiating an escape from Brum in a southerly direction, I can strongly recommend Sea Queen in Rubery, or even better, Lickey Fish & Chip Bar (B45). If you go to the latter, you can even wander across the road to Cofton Park and dine with a fine view.

[@leeball4585]

[@james5353]

Classic review. Fish & chips, drink watch, banter with passers by!

[@yasinshariff2872]

Bedders is terrible, poor quality, oily and a total waste of time. Unfortunately no decent fish and chips in the whole of brum. Next time your in London, try Poppies!

[@bobmarley9712]

Jummah mubarak 😂 yes zak

[@prestwickpioneer3474]

I don’t think Bedders is the best in Brum. It’s close. You spent too long waffling and putting salt and vinegar on the batter. I usually sit in at Bedders (you get bread and butter and a cup of tea too) and steer clear of making the batter soggy. Bedders is a classic though but I agree with the points you made. Keep it up. 7.8/10 is pretty much spot on for Bedders.

[@markrobertson3521]

Fish and chips in Birmingham don’t look very good 👎. Portions too small, and the food looks to be poor quality.

[@customboatscreensolutions5893]

George and Helens chippy Quinton is the best in Brum.

[@blackbob3358]

taxi drivers swinging on t'horn. sooner walk. yuk. better stop there.

[@subzero786]

For fish and chips in Birmingham try silver hake. Very reasonably priced for a decent fish and chips.

[@tonymontana430]

Name me the best fish and chips shop, i would love to travel for that! No matter how far

[@Gurms88]

Awful chippy. Not sure what the hype is about. I think it's probably due to a lack of good competition in the area.

[@teddylong2590]

Looks good to me. Normally the food in Birmingham takes like shite!!

7.8 seems too high given your reaction....try paccinos and their pablo burger. But best to order in advance as they have had 90 mins wait time!

[@jlily8909]

I don't think they need to put the plastic over the fish, makes it soggy. Also, I think they should do pies and savaloys.

[@davidcameron6517]

Ye bedders is quite nice but people in Birmingham have the opinion it isn’t what it used to be and overhyped a bit. Please try oceans of Tamworth I know I put it on every post😂😂but is worthwhile

Yes, great place, but not the best

You're such a nice guy mate, I love how you spoke to that guy behind you and let you give him a shout out. I have no idea what he said, but it was nice.

[@wedmoreblue]

I’m a brummie in exile and this is what he said; “Big Johns is rubbish. Never again” and when asked if he had a message for everybody watching he said “Yes, don’t go to Big Johns, it’s not worth it”. 😂Clearly making reference to an earlier review by Matt. Big Johns is a “chain” that has expanded quickly all over B’ham & is cheap & cheerful to say the least. They would never see themselves as award winners in any respect in my opinion. I think I’m right in saying the owner of Big Johns also opened a high end Indian restaurant locally, the Tipu Sultan, where a lot of money has been spent on the furnishings & decor and I imagine the owner would hope to receive much more positive reviews.
