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
Cod and chips draws the most praise, repeatedly described as crispy, big, and generous enough to share, with portion sizes and value mentioned again and again, including one large order totaling around £32 for three people. Close behind, reviewers highlight big group and catering orders, from a party of thirteen preordering fish, southern fried chicken, halloumi wraps, and scampi, to fifty portions supplied hot and fresh for a christening celebration. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and quick even when busy. A recurring lunchtime special complaint stands out though: one longtime local reports fish that was mostly skin with dry batter and excessive scraps on a second visit, and a separate customer with mobility difficulty describes an unhelpful encounter trying to get a quick order at an empty counter. Otherwise the pattern is warm, with reviewers citing being served fresh, hot food even during a door-length queue for a large family order.
