Description

Poseidon Fish and Chip Shop presents a mixed dining experience. While the food quality garners praise—particularly for its generous portion sizes and fresh preparation—customer service often falls short. Diners frequently report unfriendly staff and a lack of basic courtesy, which detracts from the overall enjoyment. Additionally, concerns regarding hygiene and payment methods have emerged, particularly in the wake of recent health guidelines. Nevertheless, some loyal customers appreciate the affordable prices and delicious meals, often considering it the best chip shop in Coventry. With potential competition on the horizon, improvements in service could help bolster its reputation.

Takeaway only fish bar. Quality of the food is first-rate...portions are massive! Very nice staff too.

I recently visited Poseidon after a long time. I was just looking for a quick lunch for my kids. I paid £14.50 for 2 sausages, pie, and chips. I understand that prices have gone up everywhere, so I'm not complaining about the cost. However, the customer service was really poor. The guy serving me barely acknowledged me and didn't say thank you at any point, not even when giving me my change. It seems like they are too busy to care about being polite. I hope that when the new chip shop opens at the top of Chelysmore, people will realize the bad service they are receiving at Poseidon and choose to go there instead.

Whilst the food is reasonable, the staff are pure grumpy. They obviously aren’t happy doing what they do, and it comes across. It’s so average that during lockdown I preferred to travel to the Black Country fish bar in West Bromwich rather than deal with Mr. Grumpy and the hilarious old fart who told me I hadn’t shouted through the order correctly. Calm down grandpa . Plus they don’t put enough salt and vinegar on the chips. Stingy and grumpy.

Low prices for amazing quality food! Would definitely recommend. It is only 4 stars for me as i know the people who own the company/shop and they are not the most pleasant people.

I arrived at the restaurant and noticed a sign saying only 2 people were allowed in at a time, but there were actually 3 others inside. The staff were not wearing masks or gloves, there was no social distancing, only some of the bar was covered with a barrier, and they only accepted cash payments. The food was mediocre with tasteless fish and soggy chips. I was very disappointed, sorry!
