Our Heritage
More than fish & chips, a British story
It all started in 1972
A Yorkshire beginning. A British favourite.
Founded in Bradford on the 3rd of May 1972, with help from Coronation Street’s Stan and Hilda Ogden, Mother Hubbard’s began serving traditional fish & chips for just 45p. Over five decades later, our Yorkshire roots and commitment to quality remain at the heart of everything we do.
