Went today wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was reminded me of what fish chips and peas tasted like 20 years ago.. The fish is very big we had the special and just about finished it with peas and curry sauce thanks mother Hubbard

Went a few days after opening, the staff didn't seem to know what they were doing. Asked for Fish, Chips and Peas. 'Can I put the peas in a carton, as it will leak from a thin cardboard container' Why not put the whole lot in a polystyrene tray, as they were clearly visible. The fish was awful, very strong tasting and soggy. It was haddock, we prefer Cod. Surely, they should have an alternative than just Haddock. The chips were ok, as were the peas. But nothing special. Was looking forward, to restaurant quality Fish and Chips without having to go out of the area. Sadly not, 2 stars at the most.

Went for fish and Chips yesterday Lovely Crispy Fish batter was done to perfection and the fish dropped off in your mouth, chips bang on! Would recommend for a good chippy tea.

Fantastic fish and chips the batter is delicious.

I was excited to learn that a ''proper'' fish and chip shop was coming to Blackburn. I was very happy with the chips but not so with the fish. Haddock is my favourite fish and should be light and flaky but the fish from Mother Hubbard's was the opposite - very chewy and solid. I wonder whether the period between the fish swimming and the public eating has been too long.

First day it opened on thursday tried the fish and chips which was really nice, went again on the weekend chips were really soggy, fish was very crispy and batter was darker like it was overcooked which kind of put me off. Today on 28/10/2015 around 2pm tried a sausage butty and chips chips were not so bad but the sausage didnt taste like a chippy sausage it was more an asian style sausage and it was hard from the outside which tasted burnt overcooked. Fish and chips price is £4.75 which is reasonable but for a sausage butty and chips and a can of diet coke was extortionate, the question is would I go back. HELL NO

Visited Mother Hubbard's Blackburn on Sunday 25th October at around 7.30pm. The restaurant was very busy with queues to the door . My wife and I had 2 x fish and chips at £4.75 each to take away. I think the price is reasonable but unfortunately the quality is poor. The chips were soft and droopy ( chips should be crispy on the outside and soft in the middle) The fish wasn't much better . They were served on top of the chips in cardboard boxes and when I got home ( 5 min trip ) I tried to lift them out and put them on plates, but the soggy batter peeled off and remained stuck to the chips. I won't visit again which is unfortunate as I like to support local businesses

First and last visit 19/10/15 about 2.00pm..nice clean and welcoming... The food however is diabolical... Ordered fish and chips to take out.... £4.75. A touch over priced but then I added to the order a cheese pie... £1.75.....I queried the price but was met with a blank stare from the new from job centre employee.... The surprise awaited me when I arrived home.... The fish and chip's had probably been cooked the night prior and were full of frying fat..... Not at all crispy as expected.... The expensive cheese pie was rock hard and had probably been cooked some day's prior to the aged fish and chip's... I did not manage half of the entire offering before it was all consigned to the bin!....I never, never feel sick but I felt sick last night and this morning..... I have travelled the world and never ever purchased such a foul meal in my life before..... This is also the first time that I have ever left a revue anywhere.... I have been totally ripped of and made ill into the bargain....

The chips was ok but the fish was awful -- the batter is too thin and not crispy at all -- the batter was more soggy than the ketchup -- it's new in Blackburn so I guess everyone is trying it out BUT am sure there will not be many return customers -- no where as nice as the local AJK chippy. I won't be going to Blackburn Mother Hubbards again -- Should had listen to the local people that have the same review but I had to try it out before I knocked it.. Not worth visiting.
