The masala fish was to die for and was very tasty and spicy. Also there was great hospitality as the worker greeted me as I entered and as I left as well and the chips are nice and crispy. Would recommend!

The food is pretty good but... The past 3 or 4 times I've visited in the early evening their card machine is inconveniently "not working" but when I've walked past later it seems to have conveniently started working. I've been told this is a new tactic of there's, for some bizarre reason. Why would they turn away sales.

We ordered 3 burger meals and received 2. When we phoned to get this order rectified the worker refused to believe what had happened. He accused the delivery person of taking the 3rd meal and said we have to take matters up with the delivery:( We won't be using or recommending buying from Mr Cod. Very poor service along with poor food:(

They have zero customer service skills and don't even bother dealing with requests. Make a face if you ask for sauce or ask for salt and vinegar on chips.

Option 5 on the menu. Ideal late-night meal, budget fare, but did the job, when feeling hungry. Plenty of chips with the chicken burger.

Standards have dropped now and it’s very sad, a few occasions we were provided with old soggy chips, old chicken and wings which is just appalling, previously the quality was good but now in the present the quality has dropped once again, if you want your money wasted come here, the least you get is quantity not quality! Old review: Not that bad now after a few changes, before was quite bad but has changed, would be good if they don't dump sauce (mayo) on the chips in the corner otherwise to much sauce.

The chicken skin is too salty, hence quite unhealthy. Even though the seasoning does not particularly penetrate into the chicken so one will have to eat the inner part to neutralize the very concentrated salty skin. They should consider reducing the seasoning for the chicken. The chips and fish are not so bad as well.

The garlic bread was actually very tasty and a good bang for the buck. Unfortunately the fish was the worst fish and chips I've ever had. I'm trying to find the words to describe the disappointment. The fish was a bit dry and over cooked. The batter was cooked unevenly, at a guess the batch of batter used wasn't fresh. The fish came out too greasy. I would rather they just gave me the fish uncooked than what I received. The only thing salvaging a second star is the garlic bread. Would not recommend for the fish, a shame for a place which has cod in its name.

Fish & Chips is a big portion. It may be the first time I have eaten it in the UK. Although my friends who live here think it is average, the fish fillet is full and crispy. I have come back to order it after a week.

This is my local takeaway, love the chips, just going past the takeaway you can't not stop and get food!! I tend to go for the masala fish meal, chicken dipper meal, chicken burger meal or the 2 mini chicken burger meal. In the past the takeaway would provide salad with the meal but thats stopped. Also the complimentary drink etc especially after spending 60+ and being a regular. The previous owner would do this. I would of given 3 stars but as its my local takeaway and I know the food is good, portions hit and miss depending on who is serving but other than that food is great!!!

Not only the prices gone up but food quality definitely has got worse. The size of the chicken has shrunk it makes you wonder if it has been put on a diet. The food doesn't feel fresh definitely the chicken it looks like it been cooked and sitting in warmer for sometime looked wrinkled up and color was definitely not what I've seen in past. Called up to inform in middle of call staff put phone down fantastic customer service called up again immediately after nearly giving up 20 rings later staff answers call same person asked why they put phone down said they were busy no apology or anything looks clear profit before customer satisfaction eventually he said bring back the chicken refund money night was ruined was looking forward to takeaway. Absolutely Rubbish experience they just don't care it was clear when food was returned he opened it and look on his face I think even he agreed was not fit to serve customer s. Check your food before paying and departing lesson has been learned I will not be going there's ever again

They say that in Reading, you can’t walk 500 yards in any direction without reaching a Mr Cod. But they also say that 68.6% of statistics are made up on the spot, so who knows? Who cares? Not I, that's for sure! For Pipes needs his chicken fix, and he needs it quick! These guys aren’t playing games. Fried chicken, chips, fizzy drinks, you name it. It’s all here, in the wonder and majesty that you’d expect. Communication through masks and Perspex glass is always limited and strange, but together with the boys at Mr Cod, we handle it with dignity and honour. There’s no chance of any communication with the fellow patrons however. People are too busy on their phones these days, monotonously scrolling through Instagram, monotonously watching monotonous people doing monotonous things. Like, comment, share. Sigh. My mind drifts back to the 80s, and of long sunny days, bike rides, fizzy pop and Knightrider. These guys wouldn’t understand. But we’re all here for the same thing, and they have my respect. Hell, I’d die for them. Within a fleeting moment my order is handed to me. I battle past the committee of delivery drivers and out into the Reading night. I’ve no doubt I’ll see my friends at Mr Cod again soon. But until then, I am happy. I am content. For I have a box of fried chicken in my hand. Nothing can stop me!

Mr Cod has been a go-to for me for years because of the generous portion sizes, (especially when you upgrade to a larger size), simple approach and good quality fish and chips. I recently went to another place in Reading which had won awards for its fish and chips, and had glowing reviews. It was rubbish - they tricked ne on portion sizes by just putting the same chips in a bigger box, the chips were worse than Mr Cod's, and they seemed to have a pretentious air about them. It's as if when you get good reviews and pretend to be much more important than you are, that is a good substitute for quality. I find it baffling if I'm honest. Mr Cod doesn't pretend to be anything other than a simple fish and chip shop and it does it very well. I won't be changing any time soon!

30 year fish Veteran: (fish and chips review only)Cons-It’s either frozen code or very poor quality, hardly any flavour to the fish (dump you supplier)Chips are also from cheat low quality none organic potato. So if your drunk or stoned it’s delish 😋 otherwise it’s medeoka at best. Pros-Fresh and hot, not over greasy but honestly tasteless. Prise is reasonable. Rating: 2.5 out of 5. The truth always hurts I know and life should be measured by quality 😎. have Ihsan in your cooking☝️

Typical 'spoons food but done well, great value for money as usual although my pizza was a bit low on toppings compared to usual. Always very busy & sometimes full with drinkers even early in the day who can be a bit 'lively'. Server seemed a bit disinterested, going to the wrong table then plonking our food down in the wrong place even as we were saying who's was who's and left only one set of cutlery. Nicely decorated but often difficult to find a seat
