Skippers is one of Birmingham’s very many fast food shops, serving fish and chips, burgers, kebabs and probably a load of other stuff I’ve forgotten about. It opens in the mid afternoon and carries on serving until late, often capitalising on the late night rush from the O2 Academy on gig nights. The name alone is probably a give away that there’s no attempt at culinary excellence here, but certainly no pretention either, and the food here is more agreeable than it is in most similar establishments. The staff are always friendly, the prices are fairly cheap for the town centre and the seating area’s alright too. Certainly worth a look if you’re enjoying the local night life and hunger suddenly strikes.
