Mother Hubbard’s Coventry

Walk down The Burges towards the cathedral quarter and you'll find Mother Hubbard's doing what it does best—frying fish with the kind of consistency that's earned nearly 900 five-star reviews. You're looking at classic takeaway territory here: the sort of place where locals queue because the food's genuinely good, not because Instagram told them to. The batter's crispy, the fish flakes properly, and they don't skimp on portions. It's unpretentious, reliable, and exactly what Coventry's city centre needs—somewhere that remembers fish and chips shouldn't be complicated.
