Mother Hubbard’s in Barnsley

Big portions but the oil used to fry the chips tasted burnt

Chips tasted like they were done in old fat, fish was okayish, table hadn't been cleaned properly from the last guests, the friendly service didn't weigh up yhe deficits.

Wasn't worth the hype ...overpriced

Food is delicious, atmosphere not the best with loud radio music. The staff do not smile or care, they slam your food on the table so it goes everywhere, curry was half empty not a full portion at all, service is terrible and all they do is stare at you like they have no soul, absolutely covered in makeup too. Not a very family friendly place.

New Management and really going downhill.... Stale chips soggy batter and bored staff..... Avoid shame as used to be decent

Had doner kebab. Superb! Veg fresh and crisp! Best kebab iv ever had!

Chips cold , fish greasy , oil needs changing

Kebab meat was like rubber and chips very hard very very poor should of known the place was empty 😡

People was getting served before us and we was before them serve is so poor

Nice chippy open Sundays till late aswell plenty of choice

Had lunch (standard fish and chips) here with a mate. Portion size was great as was food quality. Marked down as restaurant wanted us to pay extra for tomato ketchup - come on - really?

Went in To take away. Ignorant who work there. £9 for small chips, 3 small fish bites & a curry sauce? Received 2 small fish bites & 1 potato fritter & 1 curry and the chips

This is a very welcoming place comfortable and clean and the food was great.

Reason I only gave 2stars for the food was the batter on the fish was over cooked and the chips were barely warm,let's hope things can improve.

Variety of fish dishes. I like fiery fish wrap. Lot of seats for dine-in. Really nice environment

Chips needed to be cooked more chicken nice but Chips half cooked...

Not had any for a while .won't have anymore .The fish was slimy, The chips were hard .The batter tasted awful 😖 Since this as been taken over its gone down the pan.Ths chip pan 😫

Enjoyed the fish, chips and peas. Cooked hot and not greasy.

Good quality fish and chips ,reasonable prices pleasant staff would call again

The staff that served us did not seem like she wanted to be there at all, dropped the card reader on the counter then signed and rubbed her. Partner asked if they were “firey fish bites” and she said “I don’t know what you mean” so we had to specify firey meant spicy She could not understand a simple structured sentence and had to repeat or at least 3 times. I am not being dramatic, out of all the staff, we’ve only ever encountered 3 that actually seem happy to be at their job Please choose your employees better since they clearly don’t want to be here.

The fish and chips are awesome. Good value for money. I always sit in. The staff bring the food to you. Love it.

Lomg wait and not very nice food. Had an issue with receipt and staff was very rude about it. I won't be going back

Lovely Fish & Chips.., hot and good potions, so could share if you wanted ..Once ordered there is table service, food is brought to you or take away ..Definitely will eat there again 😋

Bad customer service. The cashier didn't greet us and she was miserable and impolite. The pie was dry, flaky and 90% pastry and the fishcake was stale. Wouldn't recommend.

Amazing food and great service. Fish wrap and spicy chicken was SUPER TASTY. Jammmy

Freshly cooked food generous portions friendly staff reasonable prices

Don't bother, chips are full of scabs and green bits, disgusting

Been tonight girl who served was nice blonde one in back ground was rude and ignorant get better staff

terrible uber service, genuinely dreadful, would not recommend.

Best chicken burger in barnsley, fish was tender and full of flavour

Have had delivery from here on several occasions and normally really big portions and good food. Last night was really poor.. Fish bites portion size had halved but still same price and they were basically just big scraps... lots of batter and hardly any fish.. really disappointing after past orders and will think definitely think twice before ordering again

10,10 old school value and perfect portion........highly recommend the spicy Irish sauce

Nice food staff all seemedike they didn't want to be there so not very welcoming so for that reason won't return

Had the misfortune of having fish and chips at this place,really terrible. They seal the box up and then you have to open it to put in salt and vinegar, very oily and chips had lots of green at the sides cheap and tasteless. Never again.

Eat in or takeaway chippy. Excellent good value fish, chips and mushy peas, with very generous portions, when our group of 9 turned up, and no complaints from anyone. Well worth a visit.

Ordered and collected our food when we returned my order was missing. We were then told that they wouldn’t deliver it out to us we had to then come all the way back to collect. When I asked for a refund we were told that we had to come into the shop for a refund. The lady on the phone was extremely rude, will not be ordering again and will NOT be recommending on to anyone!!!

Amazing food definitely worth the visit

My local favourite was closed so tried here and was so disappointed. The chips had no taste, fish bites were weird and full of grease. I had fish bites chips and curry sauce partner had sausage and chips. We will not be coming here again.

A great English experience!!! A true chippy!!! Being American we have nothing that even compares to this. I've been to many other Chip Shops throughout the UK, but this was hands down the best. The food was phenomenal. The service was great and the atmosphere was just the icing on the cake!!! The decor was perfect, all the way down to the Friday night drunks. I highly recommend this restaurant!!!

5 people in chitchen and just 1 work every where, long whiting and food is have oil taste

I was sceptical about the fiery fish burger but it surprised on many levels. They fish was well cooked, tender and evidently marinated in a tandoori style rub. The best part was the brioche bread though... always a barometer of a quality sarnie. Well done!

Excellent food tasty limited seating due to the number of costumers still didn't impact the service time.

Very fresh,nice portions and variety of fishes,sides and drink.Would definetly be coming again.

Never use this place again delivery never showed up and customer service was shocking!!!! NOT WORTH THE. MONEY please be careful

Tried the battered chips, really tasty! The service was friendly but slow, the lady serving was great but those behind the fryers seemed half asleep

It's a nice place to stop by to have a good chicken hamburger and chips. This service was good, the food was delicious , very efficient and the staff were friendly

Great fish and chip restaurant in the centre of Barnsley.

Was a bit hungry and had some time to kill so I stopped in for some chips. They were £1.99 for decent chips. Friendly service.

Only called in for a chip butty and it was massive. Extra large bread cake with plenty of chunky chips. Very nice! Clean place and seems value for money. Staff are lovely.

Nice place to eat food was good

Wanted to Eat Before Football. Wetherspoons Closed. Had Very Good Fish and chips. Quick & Polite Service. Glad We came Here. Good Value Too.

Ordered to take away. Staff look like they don't want to be there or are under too much pressure. Food was lovely though and huge protions. Would come again

Great atmosphere and brilliant food. Portion sizes are great!

Not what I expected. Got Fish chips over £8.00 , FISH WAS FULL OF BONES AND CHIPS WERE DRY, THROUGH THEM AWAY . DISAPOINTED.

Good value for the money enjoyed it will go again

Got it delivered best place for fish and chips Definitely recommend it 10 out of 10

Very nice food, went there for the first time today and it will not be the last, the fish bites are really nice and so are the pies,😃

Oh the best ! Usually you find somewhere with great fish and rubbish chips or the other way round but hats off to them ! Best fish and chip meal I know of in barnsley! Our second visit and will be bringing my friend from Norfolk ! Thanks you to the ladies serving very kind and happy service. *****

Best battered chips I've ever had, Will definitely be back

We were the only ones in there. Nice place. Friendly staff. Food wasn't great though.

Kebab meat was very dry and hard.

Great food service with a smile top notch highly recommended 👌 👍

Our food arrived last minute. We had chips missing from our battered sausage order and this was the portion for £11 fish and chips. Everything was soggy. All the batter was soggy- on fish, sausage and onion rings.

There are many options in the menu my favorite is the spicy fish and chips, red color fried fish cubes (forgot the name) Staff is wonderful and the service is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Friendly staff prices aren't back, but could with draining a bit more oil off before serving

Its one of the best fish and chips place I've had. Lady at the till was absolutely amazing, very helpful and gone out of her way and beyond. Will definitely come back.

Absolutely s**t service placed a £45 order 3 kids 2 adults for the food to come missing 1 meal only to be told I had to ring back in an hour and half to talk with the manager kids meals ridiculous chips with black inside and tinned teas full of water absolute p**s take will never eat hear again that's for sure

Lovely fish and chip shop. Probably best in town. Not the cheapest, but worth the money.

Very friendly fish and chips beautiful

Just had it for the first time tonight the fish was greasy and the chips were dry and tasted like they had been sat under the heat for hours. Customer service was non existent too!

Called in here on a Sunday after a day out in Holmfirth & thought some lovely fish & chips would be a fantastic meal to end the afternoon with. Unfortunately, my regular fish & chip shop was closed so searched for one that was open. Mother Hubbard came up so headed for it. Got dropped off by partner, who parked up the street to wait for me, ironically the same street of another town centre fish & chip shop. The inside of mother Hubbard is clean & modern looking with a seated area to the left of the counter. I ordered 2 regular fish & a portion of chips & was shocked to see the price of £16.20 for this. But I thought well it's a town centre establishment so let's see what I get for the money. I waited for the food to be cooked which is no problem as the food is freshly cooked & to order. After an appropriate time the food came in 2 rectangular cardboard cartons inside a plastic bag & I thanked the lady who served me, who was polite & efficient, to go home to eagerly eat this meal. I was disappointed with the amount of chips but they did taste o.k but were a bit anaemic looking. I thought the fish tasted o.k too & they were slightly bigger than my local chip shop one's but they weren't anything special to warrant the price. My partner & I were struggling to understand why this meal cost £6 more than my local chip shop (Dodworth road chip shop 400yds away from Mother Hubbard) Yes the fish was slightly bigger but the chip portion was a lot less. Yes Mother Hubbard was open on a Sunday & is a town centre business which is open a lot longer during the day & is next to the bus station but still it is a big price difference. I've probably answered my own question there but this makes Mother Hubbard a chip shop only to use when you're in the town centre after having a drink. There's no way I would actively go there instead of my local chip shop for the quality or quantity of the food & I'm sure other local chip shop users would probably feel the same way.

Heard this place was good and was proved right

Staff Really nice , the fish was chunky and batter was just right I would recommend this place to anyone

Dough was about an inch thick an all sloppy chips was as white as paper an tasted like soil an all tho it’s cooked fresh that fish was not fresh had a frozen taste an it’s not cheap won’t be going again that for sure few chips an two fish £18.00 just under 3 sides cost nearly a fiver disappointed

Came here today very nice chips good service chip butty £3.45 good portion 👍😊

So glad we found Mother Hubbards, service from staff excellent, the fish n chips fantastic...

Delicious food is well worth the money

Incomplete order but couldn't be bothered going back after got home. Food leaves a strange taste in mouth...maybe the oil used?? Okay at best. Nothing like a real chippy tbf

Always nice and friendly and the food is good

Overpriced and fish wasn't defrosted

Consistently great service and food, easily my favourite place to eat in Barnsley. Well worth the price.

Good food Good staff enjoy my food not cheap but good food 😋

Lovely fish and chips and great portion sizes. Enjoyed eating them whilst waiting for my train home

very rude staff with lots of attitude. chips aren’t even that good either

Food is good, service is just soulless, staff look like they hate thier job

Delicious fish & chips ! Love the crispy skin

You know things are not going well when the tramps on the next table are drinking from a 2 liter bottle of white lightening! Foo was poor and the teenage girl behind the counter was simply overwhelmed

Just had the most awful fish and chips from mother Hubbard chips were raw and fish undercooked price very expensive won’t be going back in a hurry

Very nice place for fish and chips

Fantastic fish and chips with mushy peas. Tried a small piece of the fiery fish and that was great too 😃👍

£19.70 for a regular fish and chips and a fish butty!! Seriously...! Last time I'll be going!

The nicest piece of fish I've had, in years

I dont know what they use for fish but its like some of that cheap frozen mush you can buy from Aldi, it's definitely not Cod or Haddock and if its pollock its not a nice one, the batter isn't great either to say its famous for it. The curry sauce was cold, the chips I couldn't really complain about but for the price the fish was horrible.

It’s a bad experience and a bad restaurant which I ever had 😡😡😡. I never recommend anyone to go there

It was soo bad taste. I could better throw my money these buying food to Mother Hubbard’s

Lovely jacket spud the wife enjoyed her fish n chips xx

Amazing historic place to visit with unbelievable views

Amazing fish and chips, and thanks for a lovely chat Little D, we left feeling well looked after

Would be good if they had menus on the tables as you don't know what's on offer unless you go to the counter so no prior knowledge of prices either. You don't get plates and you have to get your own tea, coffee ect . . Other than some pictures on the wall there isn't much else to see .

Lovely fish n chips, only downside is toilets always seem to be broken !??
