I had to leave a review. Too many red flags 🚩 for the best fish and chip shop in Oldham 🤣 Shocking absolutely shocking on all levels. BAD FOOD, WAITED TOO LONG, HYGIENE AND SERVICE WAS POOR. I will never come back here ever again! Wasted food, time and money. Met with Dirty tables from last customers, rubbish everywhere.

Order: 3 standard fish and chips A Special fish and chips, Curry sauce and peas plus drinks.

Experience: I sat there with my kids just constantly thinking how bad the chips was and my kids said the same. Chips fried in OLD nasty dirty oil with old bits in it. Was not edible at all, rock hard chips, worst chips I've had in my life. Fish was oily and batter was soggy and disgusting. fish was mushy and tasted metallic. 🤢🤮 I felt sickly while eating it, and couldn't bare to eat anymore.

Dishes: The special Large fish and chips looked exactly the same as the standard fish and chips just got charged more. So not worth it at all.

See picture: tell me if I'm the only one who thinks this is bad.

Feedback: After I thought I'd mention it to the staff and let them know about my experience so they can improve with my polite, hosnest feedback, didn't realise I was going to be faced with a chef thats argumentative and in denial. He told me the oil was new and the potatoes are new, like I was expecting old potatoes??? What you on about? The food is right in front of you, can you not see how bad this is?

If this was their best then I hate to see their worst is. Had to Google their food hygiene as the place looked icky and saw a rating of 3, they barely made the cut... 😲 explains alot I should have checked this first before eating...

I recently had the opportunity to dine at Mother Hubbard's Fish and Chips, located just outside of Oldham town, and wanted to share my experience. One of the highlights of this establishment is the quality of their fish and chips. The fish had a crispy and flavorful battered coating, and the portions were generous. I found the fish to be meaty and delicious, making for a satisfying meal.

In addition to the fish and chips, I also tried the sausage, and I must say it was excellent. The sausages were flavorful and added a nice variation to the menu. It's worth giving them a try if you're looking for something different.

Inside the restaurant, there was plenty of seating available, which was a relief as I visited during a busy period. The staff members were polite and pleasant, providing good service throughout my visit.

While I enjoyed my meal, one aspect that could be improved is the menu board. It seemed a bit outdated compared to other similar fish and chip shops I've been to. It would be great to see more set meal options offered, such as a combination of fish, chips, sides, and a drink. This would make ordering more convenient and provide more choices for customers.

To sum it up, my personal experience at Mother Hubbard's Fish and Chips was positive. The fish and chips were of good quality, the sausage option was excellent, and the staff members were friendly. Although there are areas for improvement, such as updating the menu and adding a set meal option, I would recommend giving this place a try if you're in the area and craving some classic...

It was mid afternoon And my belly was empty. I decided that I Should eat fish chips aplenty.

So Uppermill, I thought Is the place I should be. But, oh no, oh no, It was now 10 past 3.

So I picked up my car keys And got on my way. There was still some time left On this bright, sunny day To get to a chip shop To fill up my belly. It’s far better than sitting And watching the telly.

Betty’s Chip Shop is shut, I will have to drive far. To Oldham I’ll go By way of my car.

So I drove down the road With the wind in my hair And I saw Mother Hubbard’s And thought ‘Yes, I’ll go there!’

I entered the shop with a skip and a hop And ordered some chips And some fish and some pop. Rubicon Mango I drank Whilst I munched through my food. The waitress was lovely, Not the slightest bit rude.

If I have a complaint I would say it’s the fish. I did not like the fish No, no, no, not that dish.

For I threw up quite violent From the food served that day. I did not like that food On that warm summers day.

For it gave me the sh*ts And the squits And the squirts. Oh god, I had nothing But anal desserts! As I wretched up my belly Oh god was it sore, For the fish had gone bad, There was vomit galore.

So I ran out the door With a vomitous flair. That place, Mother Hubbard’s, Do not even dare To go into the building Or even close by For if you eat there You’ll most...

Updates are provided below. It saddens me to say, that this place is now so hit and miss, more often than not the chips are not of great quality, and again today the fish although freshly cooked was absolutely soaking in oil and really not edible. Clearly the oil that the fish is being cooked in is not a high enough temperature. I will from now on be taking myself elsewhere for my fish and chip fix ! Update 7th of April 2023, much better food today but I wish that they would invest in some new extraction systems for the kitchen. Every Time you sit in to eat you end up going home stinking like you have sat in the fryer yourself !!!! 4th of July 2023 bad food again ! The fish was not pleasant at all, it smelled fishy and believe me fresh fish fillets do not smell fishy at all. Downgraded to 1 star again ! 1st of September 2023 I decided as I was in the area to give this place one last try, and yet again the fish and chips were awful. The fish had a really bad fishy smell which indicates it's not fresh, it was soaking in oil as well. The chips had clearly been refried as they were all over cooked. And the eat in part was absolutely filthy with food up the walls and unclean tables ! This is the last time I will visit for sure. So sad as it used to be really good.

I can only assume the food practices at this place are diabolical because my partner and I were both horribly unwell after eating their food and unfortunately this isn't our first time experiencing this phenomenon here. When batter is very dark like it is at Old Mother Hubbard's it means a place isn't changing their oil much. Another clue is you'll notice other reviews, even good ones, saying it feels "very heavy". It wreaks havoc on your stomach and your liver has to work very hard when you consume food cooked in oil that isn't being changed often enough. We paid £35 to have 2 fish, 1 regular chips, 1 gravy, 1 fishcake and 2 cans delivered and in return we got ill in the days leading up to Christmas. Go for a place that does their fish with a nice light golden colour, like Foz's, instead. That is the mark of a quality chippy who do things properly. Unless you enjoy spending half of your day running to the toilet, in which case knock yourself out. On the left, what good quality fried fish should look like. On the right, Old Mother Hubbard's (honestly the picture doesn't do it justice, it was darker than this).
