Mother Hubbards (Erdington)

If you're craving classic British comfort food with a fiery twist, Mother Hubbards (Erdington) on Kingsbury Road might just be your new favourite. This gem in Birmingham isn’t your average chippy-it’s where traditional Fish and Chips meets bold flavours, hearty portions, and surprisingly varied options that make it a go-to spot for locals looking for a satisfying bite.

As you walk in or browse the delivery menu, one thing becomes instantly clear: fish is the star of the show-but not just any fish. From Cod Fish to Haddock and Chips, and the ever-popular Fiery Fish Wrap & Chips, every bite has that familiar crispiness on the outside with perfectly tender flakiness on the inside. The batter is light but flavour-packed, and if you enjoy heat, the Spicy Fish and Chips or Fiery Fish and Chips should top your list.

What sets Mother Hubbards (Erdington) apart isn’t just the quality of the seafood, but the range of comfort dishes and customisation they offer. Want something smaller? Try the Fish Bites, Popcorn Chicken, or Chip Butty for a satisfying quick bite. Need a full-on feast? The Munch Box is a top pick-it’s the kind of meal where you unbutton your jeans halfway through and still keep going.

The sides here deserve just as much attention as the mains. Whether you’re into classic Mushy Peas, tangy Curry Sauce, or rich Gravy, you’ll find plenty of ways to upgrade your plate. They even serve Fried Pickle for something a little unexpected, and if you’re into sweet endings, the Funnel Cake has a loyal following.

One standout that regulars rave about is the Chicken Sandwich-juicy, crispy, and generously portioned. It’s an ideal non-fish option that still hits the same comfort zone. Pair it with Battered Chips and you've got yourself a solid lunch or dinner.

The place itself is well-suited for all types of diners. Whether you're grabbing a solo lunch, meeting mates for a quick bite, or bringing the family for a casual evening meal, the setting is welcoming and accessible. There's wheelchair-accessible entrance and seating, and if you prefer not to dine in, there’s no-contact delivery and takeaway for a hassle-free experience. It’s also Halal-friendly, which makes it even more inclusive for the local community.

Late-night cravings? No problem. Mother Hubbards stays open late enough to catch those post-work or post-pub munchies. Whether you’re in the mood for a light plate or something greasy and glorious, they’ve got you covered. Even better, if you’re on the move, their counter service makes things quick and efficient without compromising on quality.

Another highlight? They serve coffee too. So, if you're stopping by in the afternoon for a snack or just need a warm pick-me-up, there’s a comforting cuppa waiting for you.

While many chip shops stick to the basics, Mother Hubbards (Erdington) leans into variety and boldness. You’re not just ordering fish and chips-you’re building your own experience with different spice levels, sauces, sizes, and textures. Whether you go for the Lemon Pepper Fish, the Fish Cake and Chips, or get adventurous with Spicy Fish and Dips, there’s always something a little extra here.

Overall, it’s not just a place to eat-it’s a local staple that brings flavour, convenience, and a little attitude to the table.
