I was expecting something good, but…..

I was expecting something good about the fish n chips I was going to eat tonight. It was such a big disappointment! Chips were nothing like chip shop chips. Batter was far too thick. And the fish was pretty unremarkable. My wife’s jacket potato and chili with cheese was even worse. Only the salad was the best bit. Would I go there again? Big fat NO! Pricing was competitive, but tables needed to be cleaned more often. As most of the tables were left with food bits on it. Such a shame really.

Total scam on uber eats. DO NOT USE

Do not use this company on uber eats.
I ordered two meals on a buy one get one free promo and only received one of each.
When I called them they said that I should have ordered two of each and that uber have agreed that a message was missing from their site saying that. And, that the issue was with uber.
I said if they were aware then the issue is theirs. They said “tuff” and put the phone down. So I paid £30 for 5 chicken strips and a small fish sandwich.
The fact that they know of the issue and still taking money is vile. Go elsewhere. Uber said the issue is with the company.

Mother Hubbards Burton - poor, wont be ordering again

Avoid this place, especially through Just Eat. I ordered food that kept getting delayed, couldn’t cancel through the app, and when I rang the restaurant, the lady first decided she couldn’t speak English, then eventually could and admitted the food had been “waiting ages” because they had no drivers. I asked to cancel, but she refused and pushed me back to Just Eat.

By the time it arrived, the food was cold, soggy, and inedible. Just Eat’s “compensation” was £1.62—an insult. Between the restaurant dodging responsibility and Just Eat’s shocking service, it was a total waste of money.

I’m sure the food is lovely if you actually get it fresh and warm, but I didn’t. Why accept orders with no drivers available? I won’t be ordering from Mother Hubbard’s again—and after this, I won’t be using Just Eat either.

Mother Hubbard Barnsley losing its edge

Well that's the last time I go to my favourite fish and chip shop ... recent change of management in Barnsley has led to a complete change of staff and that in itself has led to a lot of the character and atmosphere departing too ...

The price increase does not match the quality or portion size .... they have definitely got smaller .... I always feel that new management need to adjust , however the once brilliant food is sub standard ... even the batter is not fresh and crispy ....

It's bland small and I will now be looking for a better alternative... I have no issue of the price of something as long as the product matches the price ....

Sadly this doesn't anymore

Absolutely fantastic fit out for chip…

Absolutely fantastic fit out for chip shop unfortunately, I didn't notice that it doesn't sell pork sausages. It was a mixture of chicken and all sorts of meats which is not a proper chip shop. I would be aware to make sure you understand what they are selling. I was
caught out

Never again

we got half the order delivered, the other half was just overcooked fish and chips ( we we ordered large so perhaps our large is more than 21 chips and that's on us - is 21 chips just too much for most people )
The fish was overcooked and the rest of the order never arrived.
How hard is it to read an order?
How much food waste did this incur?
To order for a few people to feed half of them ...

Disappointing only sell one type of fish ? Why the answer was we come from up north and people will have to have haddock only
Really is it free ? Or can we choose what we would like to pay for?
Food was overrated greasy not much fish lots of greasy batter
No thanks won’t be back

South Woodford branch just opened…

South Woodford branch just opened giving 50% off on opening day. I live nearby and saw people queuing all day, so thought I’d give it a go but they’d sold out of food by 8.30 and it’s open until 11pm. Bad planning and they seemed dismissive turning people away, not a good start.

Bury branch -They put sauce on without asking then dont refund!

Just bought 2 scallop Muffins for just under £6. Theres an option to add salt and vinegar which I did. Got my sandwiches and they've put ketchup and mayo on it! Didn't state this on the ordering screen and I wasn't asked. Im allergic to mayo. Took it back and her response was "sandwiches come with sauce on from everywhere" when I said this is incorrect she just stared at me. No refund offered! Left the sandwiches there and out of pocket. What a joke! Use this place regularly. Won't be doing again now! Ive also had a scallop muffin from here before through uber and there was no sauce so she lied!

Just had some fish bites and chips delivery for my girls.

Quality of chip were poor, not fresh at all. Very disappointed.

Fish bites were nice but more on the cold side.

Considering we don't live far from the shop, food should have been very fresh but sadly it wasn't.

Mother Hubbard's Coventry shop

Hi, I am a NHS worker and brought some Fish & Chips from the Coventry Mother Hubbard's shop and it tasted delicious. The fish was nice and soft and crispy and the chips were soft to eat. I recommend this shop as it is very good and the service was brilliant. Only waited 5 minutes and brilliant customer service. The box and the bag were nice and good logos on them. I will try something else next time but if the Fish & Chips were good then I am sure the other items will be great.

Well done to the staff and good we have this nice shop in the City Centre.
