  AtmosphereThe interior of the restaurant manages to be warm, casual and classy in equal measures. Large mirrors and deep red walls boost the chic factor, while the comfy seats and well-spaced tables make the venue ideal for family groups and friendly dinners. Imagine something between a country pub and a smart city centre restaurant, and youll have an idea.FoodChamberlains efforts to branch out from the core offering of fish and chips is apparent right from the starters menu. Mackerel and cod scotch egg and garlic mushrooms and stilton both come highly recommended. The richness of the flavours was as much of a pleasant surprise as finding these interesting options on the menu. Other diverse starters include sweet chilli chicken and prawn salad.The mains menu prevents a challenging array of choices. Allow plenty of time to decide whether to opt for a traditional fish and chips choice, or to experiment with one of the more exotic dishes. Cod and king prawn curry gives a nod to Birminghams strong tradition of Asian cuisine, while nut squash risotto and Chamberlains winter chicken dispense with fish altogether.In the end, we compromised with a generous portion of haddock and chips, and the smoked hake and breaded poached egg, which is accompanied with a delicious chive mash and honey and mustard glaze. If you have any room left for dessert, expect to select from old faithfuls like bread and butter pudding, chocolate fudge cake and banoffee pie. And for the extra-fussy kids, theres vanilla ice cream with a range of sweet sauces.dealsThe restaurants family-friendly claims are bolstered by a whole range of deals and offers. On Tenner Tuesdays two main courses go for 10, while throughout the week, the classic Chamberlains haddock and cod meals come in at 9.95 each. Theres even a special deal for senior citizens on Thursdays, with a full meal adding up to just shy of 7.00.All in all, Chamberlains Quality Fish and Chips carries out a balancing act, offering the good value and hearty family atmosphere of a traditional fish and chips establishment, while serving up a more adventurous menu in a slightly smarter environment. Mother will be pleased. dinebirmingham.co.uk

  Was gutted when the Great British Eatery closed. Was this a worthy substitute? Yes! Great chips, crisp light batter and delicate fresh fish. Have yet to try eating in but a definite bonus is it’s open Sundays.
