Venus Fish Bar in Coventry

Customer service is absolutely shocking. I asked for a scallop batch and was asked the question if I want the scallop and batch put separately! That is a ridiculous question to ask and it was asked with attitude from the staff as if I spat in his cereal in the morning. Terrible management and staff members, they need to learn some manners and provide a better customer service!

DO NOT GO HERE! Terrible customer service, food is very mediocre!! What once used to be a decent fish and chips place is now a diabolical environment full of rude arrogant staff who don't know the values of customer service!

Not what it "was" and expensive £10.50 for fish and chips in the thinnest batter ever seen, like tempura 2/10/2024. When you can get a jumbo roll with 3 bacon, 3 sausages, and 2 eggs with sauce locally for £6 or fish and chips with amazing batter for £8.50 it makes no sense . It's such a shame the owners got too old and rich to care any more

Really good value for money great food fast and friendly staff

The place was fantastic about 15/20 years ago, never been the same since, bitterly disappointed every time I visit. Winter be back , shame

the chicken here is amazing, received amazing service from oliwia , very lovely staff

Staff here are great so is the food, definitely recommend

Amazing food, ordered the full works, fish & chips, naan mixed kebabs, pies, salad and scallops. One of the best chip shops I have been too in a long time.

The fish was cooked so tasty . And the chips melted in your mouth . We also had a chicken nan it was tasty . Our family enjoyed all the food . Would recommend to everyone . Definitely five stars .

Enjoyed the Haddock, chips, curry sauce and salad from this chippy this afternoon. Gets my vote for 'best chippy in town'. Get yourself down there you won't regret it!

Been going here last 30 years always been the best in Cov but I have noticed that the Donner meat isn't as good as it used to be tastes almost like plastic and very rubbery.

One of my favourite fish and chips shop for many years. Great variety of food I closing soya burger, vegan burger

Large bag of chips is more like a small bag well overpriced for what they give you won't be going back 😞

Not had food from here for years popped in as was passing . Very reasonable prize food. Very tasty would definitely go back again if I was passing.

One of the best fish and chips shop in Coventry

Love our friday kebabs.. a great chip shop with frendly staff

Went in paid for a bag of chips there machine said not authorised so check my bank and it said clearly paid I showed and the guy said its not I showed him and said it clewr says paid so he wants me to pay again and if it takes twice he will refund me poor customer service

Best fish and chips in Cov hands down. Always lovely staff and great quality food

The best kebab meat I have had in along time.

Nice place, I had the fish and chips the fish was beautiful, hot and fresh. The chips were also hot and fresh. I had this meal bought for me so don't know exactly the price so can't comment on that, however I would recommend this place. 👍

Tandoori chicken very tasty, Chips nice

Purchased a mixed kebab with salad on a tray with chips ,the meat was undercooked and lukewarm at most also very fatty ,Chips were pale and ended up throwing it all in the bin !! Used to be a very good shop but the last twice wished I had not bothered , Will not use this again .

Mixed meat kebab with fresh salad and chilli sauce - absolutely delicious!! Very good portion size and everything fresh and tasty

Always liked this chip shop till I got my large bag of mash tonight will never come back to this shop again

Being going to this chippy since was a child. It's changed hands many times but the owners don't open late and isn't open on a Sunday anymore which is a shame. Other than that can't fault it.

Friendly and quick staff. Glad it's my local chippy

The best cod and chips 10 out of 10 the best in Coventry for sure.

Food always very good...Top Chippy👍

Lovely staff great food chips cooked fresh and lovely service.

been going here for ages great food but theres a new guy here cooking the food and its not good he who served me a pie and chips special last night , (obviously been reheated many times ) as i had bad stomach pain within 30 minutes of eating it and been throwing up all night and on the toilet 🤑🤑🤑 definatley will avoid in the future now

This place has really gone downhill chips taste like yesterday’s old and disgusting don’t bother

Unfortunately always seem to get reheated chips mixed in with a fresh batch.

Best Customer service best fish and chips in Coventry

Great Fish/Chips bar. Tasty, freshly cooked with variety of different foods, large portions. Friendly and attentive staff.

Not massively impressed by the quality of this Fish shop or its prices, A kebab at £8!!! I ordered mixed meat and chips in a tray but received only donor, I asked them to change it and the server refused - luckily I had not yet paid, If I had I would of no doubt not received my mixed meat and chips! He then proceeded (out of view of myself may I add) put the tiniest bit of chicken on the top, which I discovered when I got home - I only gave this a try as the usual shop I use in this area (a stones throw up the road FYI) had just closed for the evening. Not happy with the underhand way this was done so won't be going back again!

The Indian guy with bold head with out the glasses always gives people old cooked Fish not a fresh fish!!! The batter is Hard so a the Fish meat I had food poisoning!! Disappointed!!

Absolutely amazing fish and chips super tasty and value for money I don’t use anyone else . Also the staff are very friendly 🐟🐟🐟🐟

Nice crispy chips & generous portion

Great chippy. We always come here.

Chippy Monday great tasting food and friendly staff.

Great fish and chips and the staff are very friendly

Best fish and chips in Coventry Holbrook and staff are great I will not go anywhere else for my fish and chips

The chicken kebab was lovely and all the other food was delicious

Quick, good food, good price. You can also pay by card

Food is always fresh and delicious. Everyone kind and friendly

Probably the best chippy in Coventry, large portions, fair prices and last night there was a queue of 15 people outside the shop (in this cold weather) November 2020.

Great place to get some proper fish and chips

Awesome chippy. Fresh fish and Amazing chips. Very little if any grease on the chips. Always fresh and boiling hot and the perfect combination of soft inside and slightly crisp outside. The staff and the owners couldn’t be more helpful to customers.

I travel the uk, have done for over 12 years, being a northern boy I love a good kebab and this is the best by far I have had for price and portion size I can’t see me finding a better one ever. 👌

Good 👍 fish 🐟 and chips 🍟 🍟🍔🍕🌭🌮🌯🥤🧃🧊🧊🧊

I always go to the Venus Fish and Chips Shop, there no other chip shop that can beat this place. The staff are helpful happy and professional, really good customer service. The fish and chips are lovely crispy and fresh the Kebabs are lovely and you get your moneys worth. You can tell the staff in the shop are on the ball when it comes to keeping the shop clean and tidy and working in the catering industry, l can tell that the oil is changed regularly. If you want to eat the absolute best Fish and Chips 🍟 in Coventry go to the Venus.

Fresh, tasty, really good food!

Best chips in Coventry bar none

Just popped in for a chip batch, was lovely, fresh chips and a fresh roll. Good chippy :) + they accept contactless so big thumbs up

Great place for take away chips , very friendly staff

Always been great food, fish and chips ,kebabs etc. New owners have improved menu and service is excellent. You want something special ? Just ask!

Been in today 21 February 2020 lovely chips. And pastry for hubby.

Absolutely amazing service and great tasting food, don’t listen to the people bad mouthing this chippi and the new management are lovely I am a regular customer and would recommend to all.

Good food, been going for years. A little more expensive for the same food since new owners came in. Donner meat is far too dry but everything else is fine.

Terrible chips and ripped off. Food not fit for human consumption.

Best fish and chips in Holbrooks. Always consistent and very popular. Queues on Friday night but worth the wait.

Just moved into the area and looking for a decent chippy after using Binley Mega chippy for many years. Disappointed after reading the good reviews. On the plus side the portions were a good size and a fair price. Unfortunately the chips were dry and what I would call reheated. Haddock was cooked to order and the batter was undercooked. Hopefully just a one off. Will give it one more go and then vote with my feet.

Great value. Nice food. First time using today but glad I decided to stop here

Excellent food the best in the city on par with the wallace fish bar 👍

Best fish and chips in Coventry

Good food...chips never disappoint

Food always cooked fresh. Lovely and hot. Mini fish and chips in thin batter really nice but have to order thin batter when you walk in but no problem. Value for money.

Great food & friendly staff. Always use Venus, no other chippy I've tried is as good.

Popped in on my way home from the Ricoh. Lovely food and very friendly service. Would deffo recommend

Good food but a bit expensive but good for a treat

Not long been refurbished 100% improvement on my last visit ! Will definitely be going back for more

Some of the best haddock and chips tasted.

Very small portions I wouldn't recommend it if your hungry not cheap either

Inconsistent fish first time was very nice second visit fish was thin dry and all batter little fish at nearly a fiver a time expect much better. I won't be playing pot luck again.

If you want a great selection of food at a reasonable price, this is the place to go. From happy meals to full meals plus extras, you can't go wrong

New management. Very neat. Nice food but a bit of a wait.

Lovely place, the food is great, best chippie in Coventry

Hand made chips and very good meat, portion and taste arę worth the price

Been going here for years. Used to be a fantastic friendly place. It has recently changed hands. The new management here are the beginning of the end. The service is extremely poor. They are all over the place. There's no friendly environment anymore you are being rushed out the door. The portion sizes are significantly smaller for the same price as the previous management. One of the managers is extremely sheepish and mutters you cannot hear him. Tonight was my last visit to the venus. I wonder if it will be another hairdressers soon Addition to my original review. I wouldn't pay a lot of attention to the opening times on here. It says open for evening service at half past 4. I went to the post office a week or so ago not on a bank holiday or trade effected day. It was shut. That was at half 5.

Hits and miss chip shop! Had one the other week and it was delicious. Had one tonight 5/11/18 and it was absolutely disgusting!! Fish was chewy, saveloy was like mush and the chips were hard! Will not be using it again! Had one nice one out of about 4 and this is since it has been taken over.

Good food, served with a smile.

Me and my family have been going to this chippy for years and years, it use to be the nicest chippy around now it’s awful since it’s been under new management. Chips taste awful, they’ve changed the recipe for the fish batter, wouldn’t recommend this one anymore.

Why change the opening times so drastically and upset so many regulars? disappointed

Yesterday was the first time I've been in since being under new management, wish I hadn't bothered. Chips tasted awful, smaller portions to. Think its the first time I've ever been in and served straight away, place was dead. Disappointing.

New owners, better tasty fish and chips

Overpriced since there's a chip shop that's just as nice 2 min walk away 9.60 for 1 large chips and pasty and 1 reg chips and sausage either I got overcharged or they are stupidly overpriced either way shows staffs ignorant

Unhygienic they dont wear gloves whilst handling food so everything is cross contaminated .kebab i ordered was very salty and slimey.
