Quick info
About Poseidon Fish Bar
Poseidon Fish Bar is a fish and chips takeaway on Daventry Rd in Coventry, serving 58 dishes from the fryer. Cod portions come large enough for two people to share, alongside options like Jumbo Battered Sausage, Steak Kidney, and Beef Onion. Curry sauce is offered as a side, and a lunchtime special runs alongside the main menu. The shop takes walk-in orders only, with card payments accepted though cash is preferred. It opens daily, and a wait is common as the queue builds at busy times. Larger orders can be preordered ahead of group events so they're ready on time. The entrance is reached by a step up from the street.

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out the cod, describing it as crispy, big enough to share between two, and cooked fresh. Portion sizes come up repeatedly, with reviewers saying the amount of food is hard to beat for what they pay. Close behind is the staff, described as friendly and cheerful, including a cashier who stayed quick and kind while the shop was busy. Large orders also get praise: one reviewer preordered fish, southern fried chicken, halloumi wraps and scampi for a party of 13 despite a queue out the door, and another ordered 50 large fish and chips for a christening that arrived hot and on time. A small fish and chips with curry sauce is also called delicious. The criticism is sharper but less frequent. A longtime local says that on a second lunchtime special the fish had more skin than meat, the batter was dry, and the chips came with a lot of scraps. Another reviewer with a knee in a cast found the step into the shop hard to manage and the man outside unhelpful when they asked for just two chips.
