THIS new multi-purpose fast food shop is on such a busy road that I had to drive past three times in order to spot its exact whereabouts after a friend had tipped me off.

Which is probably good news for The Dolphin, a much more visible, old fashioned chippy closer to Selly Oak Hospital, which has had a very good review from me in the past.

Here, I was served by a lunchtime Santa. Or at least a chap with a red hat on.

Although he gave me the thumbs up, at £1 for a tray weighing 350g on my in-car scales, I’d have preferred a smaller portion that was hotter. Surprisingly good, though, considering.
