Best ever fish and chips that I have ever tasted would defo recommend to anyone,, will be back soon. The chips were cooked to perfection and the fish just melted in your mouth. Thankyou for a lovely experience

Been going here for Fish and Chips for 6 months and whether eat in or Take away they are always superb Extensive Menu , loads of sides etc and always friendly Staff cooking and serving. Very reasonable prices Always look forward to my Thursday visits

Big thankyou to the lady who served me today ...29th November 23 .she noticed my hand was bleeding I had caught my hand on something she gave me tissues this young lady needs to be recognised for her excellent customer service ...thankyou again

Delicious food, wonderful staff. We came for lunch and was even complimented by staff! Lovely jubbly!

About 20years ago I worked at Rothwell on Copley Road, with Esther and Elizabeth and Fred and Pauline and they became like family to me. We didn’t work that hard really and we always had a break where we could have anything we wanted to eat. I always used to have a small piece of battered cod, It was delicious. Beautiful white flaky cod with this heavenly crispy batter. I used have a bit of curry sauce with it and a few mushy peas and a few scraps and to this day I can’t recollect a more satisfying and tasty meal. I went back to Rothwell’s recently and it hasn’t changed. The fish is heavenly. The chips are plentiful. I wish Pauline was still there.

Excellent fish and chips at a good value. Fish was very fresh and batter was crispy and sweet. Chips really good as well. I couldn’t work out whether they were fried in beef, dripping or not but in any event tasted great!

Very impressed with excellence all round. From walking in, being seated, served quickly, food arrived quickly and hot. Very tasty and excellently priced. Great service! Highly recommended.

polite and friendly, and a bit of banter.we had a d ay out.very nice fish and chips. we will go again when in doncas thankyou all.

Magnificent bit of haddock and chips. Just the way it ought to be, crispy outside and fresh and juicy inside. Delicious. Plus good mushy peas, excellent onion tings, and a decent cup of tea to wash it down with. What more could you ask for? (And the girl serving at the counter has the prettiest eyes I've seen for ages, but that's another matter!)

Best fish and chips in Doncaster and definitely the best mushy peas lovely friendly staff brilliant service as al

Just like Grannie used to eat.. I love this fish shop its always good. Not the cheapest but you pay for what you get. Friendly and clean

So, I never leave negative reviews. Ever. If a place is good I will leave them a review but this is quite the opposite. I have been here many time before with family. No problems, they aren't the cheapest of places but it is affordable. I went today on the 20th of February 2023. So I went and the till workers were relatively good but my problem is with the portion. I asked for "A regular cod and chips with a small curry sauce". The young lady behind till repeated back to me and there was no problem. I decided to take it home. I'm currently craving fish from a chippy being pregnant but I was so angry when I got home. The amount of chips I got could probably fit in the palm of my hand. The fish was incredibly thin and not very big at all. My main problem was that it cost between £7 and £7.50 as I cannot remember the exact amount. But it is completely ridiculous the amount I got for 7 and a half pounds. I really hate to say this but I don't think I'll be coming here again. The taste was reasonable but I won't be coming back again on the principal of the price I was charged.

Ordered large haddock, chips and peas with coffee and a side of bread and butter. It was busy I'll give them that, but the coffee didn't come out until after the food ( meant to come first) the haddock and chips were regular at best, 14 chips does not make a large portion! And the bread and butter had to be requested again. I won't be visiting again, its a shame as it comes with great reviews from locals.

A very simple fish and chips restaurant and take away. The staff are all friendly and courteous and very efficient. You don't have long to wait for your order to be taken, and you are not kept waiting even though this is a very popular fish and chips restaurant/ takeaway. The tables are all kept very clean and the food was cooked to perfection, just the right portion size and tasted absolutely delicious.

Been going here 40 + years. From when parents & now kids running it . I live away now but when I come to my son's I'm here everyday . . Quality. Happy staff makes this the best the is .

I used to come here regularly as a child, queuing on market days with my mum, grandma and great aunt to get a table in the restaurant out the back. Was such a joy to visit again recently and find that the place hasn't changed ( too much!). Best cod, chips and mushy peas in the world. So good we ordered extra. Oh and proper scampi!

Went into the restaurant at the back of the shop today. So well organised and quick! The cod, chips and peas were absolutely delicious, and they came with a lovely hot pot of tea. We were amazed at how quick the service was! Really well worth a visit.

Excellent fresh hot fish & chips reminded me of the seaside, Went a couple of years ago & wasn't overly impressed but can't say that this time. Fish & Chips at a Chippy is a pleasure in life. Staff very attentive couldn't do enough sanitised...

Busy fish and chip restaurant. Had to wait for a table. This was the first time coming here. Just over £11 for a small cod. Small portion of chips, small peas and a can of pop. Friend had the same but curry sauce. He was...

Our visit after 5months of shielding, we were nervous about distancing and hygiene, we had no need to worry, the staff were great,spacing and hygiene was 1st class ,as was the fish and chips!

The restaurant is larger than is given by first appearances. Service is quick and food quality very good. Surroundings are a bit "cold" in appearance but it is only a "chippy"

While out shopping today in Doncaster we decided to call in the chippy for our dinner we got the offer 2 cod and chip with a cup of tea or coffee and bread and butter all for £14,the staff and atmosphere was great you got...

I’ve been coming here for over fifty years, and I’ve not had a bad meal yet! The fish is always so fresh, the chips perfect, and the mushy peas how they should be, mushy! I so hope they are not affected by the new food...

Best chip shop in the town centre. Meals valve for money. Great for eating in or take away. Staff always friendly and polite.

Visited Doncaster shopping and ask someone where to go for something to eat, rothwells was recommended and I can say the service was amazing so was the food, nothing to much trouble and definitely service with a smile 🤗

Friendly clean great food.Family run business been running for over 50 years by Doncaster honest folk.weve had fish and chips all over the world none can beat Rothwell's.they are delicious not greasy always freshly cooked can't beat them.

Lunch time first class fish and chips with a lunch time special fish and chips for £3.50 very good value for your money the staff are all very friendly and happy , you can eat inside in the cafe a little more money , they have a few tables outside near the outdoor Market which is nice to see the world go by all in all a good fish and chip cafe

Excellent Fisn n’ Chips whether you eat in the restaurant or eat them on the pavement tables they are first class.

have always enjoyed a rothwells fish and chip, over 53 years ago when i workjed down copley rd always had a fish and chip dinner from them at the corner, although now live away for over 50 years, every time i come to donny have a fish and chip from from shop in market place, called today for a £3.50 special and must say its the smallest fish i have ever had anywhere, about the size of a fish finger, maybe a one off, will still call

I have lived in Doncaster most of my life, and have visited Rothwells every so often throughout my life,always tasty,a good local fish and chip shop and cafe.

I have been visiting Rothwells since I was a child (many, many moons ago!) and they have always produced consistently good fish and chips at a very reasonable price.

What fantastic service n food lv it .waitress /waiter asked us if we needed or can we get you anything else ..Thank you like arnnie "Well be back " lvl

Rothwell's is an example of truly amazing fish and chips - fresh fish (firm, flaky and with great flavour) perfectly steamed within a great, expertly cooked (crispy, not too crispy - not at all soggy) batter; thick, firm chips with great flavour - non of the kind of powdery oven chip variety here -

Went in and sat dowm service slow ordered large fish chips pease should have come to £9 fish was long and thin not very big at all when i got the bill it said £9.60 what a con never go there again and thr voice of one of the staff went right through you should have gone to the pub better value

Visited Doncaster to see the folks.

rothwells was the very best of british fish and chip shops. i lives overseas for many years and used to look forward to arriving in the uk and the next day have fish and chips. then one year it stopped. i asked what happened and was told than they changed suppliers. its okay now but not delicious. its a great pity. i would have been happy to pay at least 2 pounds more if they did not change suppliers. i am talking about the one next to primark.

Quality Fish and Chips, Fresh cooked, very clean, pleasant staff. Rare visitor to but a has to be visit for lunch!

A most friendly place staffed by efficient and helpful staff.

Myself and a friend called in for a lunchtime treat on thursday 12th oct. The restaurant was clean and not overly busy.

Went in for takeaway fish and chips. Haddock cooked fresh to order; great batter and fresh tasting fish. Chips cooked well and very flavoursome. Great value for money, it's quality demonstrated by its popularity.

First visit to Rothwells today on Bank Holiday Monday.

A well-known and long established fish a chip shop. Never been let down in over 30 years of visits. I've...

Every time we are in Doncaster we try and have lunch here..a lovely cafe, lovely staff, mostly of all excellent Haddock and chips, one of the best in the area.We go for the Special hadock and chips, peas, breadcake and a lovely pot of tea to finish. Really good value..definetly we can recommend going for lunch.

I was in Rothwells yesterday 31st July with my daughter who has not been there before she said it was the best fish n chips she has ever had. the staff were efficient and friendly as usual. cant fault it its worth a trip to Doncaster just to go there.

First time I've been here had fish, chips and mushy peas served with fresh bread and butter and a hot lovely cup of tea. I have to say it's the best fish I've ever tasted - my mum had same and she loved hers too . My daughter had battered sausage chips and curry she can be fussy but enjoyed each mouth full. The staff are sooo friendly polite and nothing is too much trouble. Each time we visit Doncaster we shall return and will recommend to family and friends xxx thanks for a truly scrumptious meal .

Called In today was busy for a Monday but service was quick from are order been taken to recieveing are meal.... all fresh lovely and hot... was delicious... we had the meal deal 2 for £12 good portion well worth the money... Will be back again

This place has restored my faith in good old fashioned British customer service. I called in this afternoon with my teenaged Daughter and we were both completely overwhelmed by the caring natures of the Staff, towards everyone who walked through the door and their willingness to go the extra mile, particularly for the more senior Customers. No wonder the place is so busy, the fish and chips were exemplary......very tasty, melt in the mouth fish in a lovely crispy batter, just the right shade of golden brown chips and super fresh mushy peas, I'm also glad to say not a dustbin lid full of chips as seems to be the case in other fish and chip restaurants nowadays. Nice and hot and very reasonably priced. Needless to say, well be back. Thanks Rothwells.

Rothwell's never disappoints, food is always good quality, portion size is great. Restaurant is clean. Staff are friendly and courteous, chatting to children and clientele as though they are old friends. Reasonable prices. Well worth a visit in Doncaster

After placing our order in the cafe at the back, the order came with drinks and extras missing. Still didn't get it right when we told the waiting staff. Overhead other customers complaining of the wrong orders too. Shocked with the small portions, the prices were high for the quantity of food received. After eating, I went outside while my husband paid as it was very hot inside. Next minute, a member of staff came out to me following my husband and said I need to go back in and wait. As it turned out, they don't accept card payment. Note to Rothwells: this is 2017! So husband went to cash machine while I was ordered to go inside by the rude staff member. As I sat down he then said very loudly "You can't sit there you need to sit at the back so I can see you" In disbelief I did as he demanded whilst customers just stared. I put my bag down but decided to stand as I suffer with a bad back and was also very hot and uncomfortable due to being made to stand next to the fryers. However the rude man then ordered me to sit down! I explained why I was standing and he then went on to say "Do you not understand that not paying is stealing and I would have to pay out of my tip money if you don't pay" I told him that we had no intention of not paying and had we known it was cash only beforehand we could have either got cash out or gone somewhere else. He then carried on raising his voice saying that there is a clear sign stating no card payment which I replied we had obviously not noticed as it was positioned in the take away area not the cafe. I was close to tears as I don't think I have ever been spoken to or treated in that way ever in my life. I am grateful to the lovely customer who had witnessed my treatment and assured me that he was out of order and was also shocked by the customer service. Overall, terrible on all counts.

My husband and i visited this fish restaurant at lunchtime on 16th june . We both had fish, chips, mushy peas, bread and butter and a pot of tea. The food was delicious, hot and fresh, the fish was white and flakey and the batter was not greasy and nice and crispy.The service was good and it was a nice clean place. For 2 of us it came to £16.80, which i didnt think was bad. All in all a very nice lunch. Worth a visit

We visited Doncaster this weekend and whilst passing through the town centre,had fish and chips here.And the portions were very disappointing,They would not keep a flea in underpants.Large trays,which then emphasise the paltry portion you actually get also,we had mini fish and chips twice.The fish certainly lived up to it's name,as it would fit into the palm of an average sized man's hand,as would the chips.As you can probably guess,the onl thing of any size was the price-£10.00+.Other people too were not impressed, as we overheard.I don't think we will be stopping off here again,come here hungry-and leave just th same.The small café on the Irish market is better value by far.And it is there we will go in future I think.

Good fish and chips. Service was fairly quick. I thought prices were a little high but I've been out of the country for a few years. I couldn't see a listing of the opening hours anywhere.

Called here for takeaway fish and chips whilst shopping.They were absolutly beautiful,best fish and chips weve had for years,so tasty wanted more.Will definatly be back..

If you find yourself in Doncaster for whatever reason do yourself a favour and have traditional fish n chips as they should be. Friendly staff , no frills shop / restaurant... But the fish n chips ... Beautiful and not the generic bland flavours most places barely achieve. highly recommend the cod chips and mushy peas... Keep it up Rothwells , great job.

Had fantastic fish and chips.Everything served hot .Nothing to much trouble for the wonderful staff.Fish tasted lovely and fresh and the chips were perfect in colour and taste.Obviously the family take pride in their business.

Called in today for fish and chips as we always do when shopping in Doncaster to find prices have gone up yet again. It doesn't seem long ago to the last price rise. The meals were okay, nothing special, but the pot of coffee very weak. We usually enjoy it but not today. Think this is the last time we'll be eating there. Time to find somewhere else.

Great fish and chips, and other meals. Spacious. Friendly helpful staff. Quick service. Lovely atmosphere.

I had to review this place which I happened across today. Just near the market . The quality was amazing and at £5-60 for fish,chips mushy peas and tea and bread represented great value. Piping hot and freshly served, service was good too. I will be going out of my way to return.

Been going to Rothwells for the last 40 years and they never fail,I go every week and can count on one hand the number of bad meals iv had,try the large haddocks,there to die for. Keep up the good work.

Chaotic take away service - Ricky Gervais could base his next sitcom here without needing to write anything. And sadly when fish finally arrived it was grey. Not good. Go here for the theatre but not for the food.

If you want food without the trimmings, then this is the place... I had fish, chips and mushy peas... When they came I was disappointing as they didn't look very appetizing, then I quickly found out that it tasted a lot better than it looked. If you're in a hurry with a limited budget, then this is the place to dine

I absolutely love it hear. Staff are great nothings not to much trouble. Wheel chair access. Can eat in are take out. Really reasonable good old fish and chips. For haddock chips mushy slice of bread with a cup of tea its £5:50. I come hear very often. I cant wait till my mum comes so i can take her. Lovely family atmosphere. Awesome service. Love it.

Simply the best chippy in Doncaster lovely fish chips fish cakes pies all beautiful really had a sit in today me and mrs 2 large fish cod peas gravy scraps tea can of pop 2 bread cakes sat in. £17.50 fantastic value all staff from fryers to waitresses are lovely very welcome ing nothing is to much trouble high chairs wheel chairs accessible ramp plenty seating can't wait to go back

Always get a good fresh meal here Although they have lost a few of the popular staff it still is a good place to eat

We were in Doncaster on a day trip and with all the shopping we knew we were going to do we popped into Rothwells, we had been before and the service and food was the tops and this time was no different.No sooner had we sat down when someone came over with the cutlery and cups etc.They were quick to take our order and within minutes our meals were in front of us, 2 of us had large cod, nice and white with excellent batter and 1 had a very generous portion of scampi, all served with chips and mushy peas.The coffee was some of the nicest coffee we have had, served in a pot and made with milk, GREAT.If you are in Doncaster, give Rothwells a try, you will not be disapointed.

First of all, their fishcakes are AMAZING! Chips are great staff seem very happy, I go whenever I'm in town.

prompt counter service . fish really nice white flakes.used this chip shop for years . the specials are really good value.the out sales can get quite busy on market days but worth the wait

Always ,reliable place to get a cheap lunch of fish and chips been there as long as I can remember ,

Popped in on Friday 26th of August for a small chips and scraps. I was served by the most rude and obnoxious old woman. She didn't give me any eye contact at all and continued to talk to an old lady who she obviously knows and continued talking to her whilst serving me. She then asked for the money and then slammed my change back in my hand, not a please or thank you or see you soon. The worst service I have ever had. The chips were greasy and not a lot of taste. This used to be a nice chippy but as gone down hill in all aspects.

I went in early to beat the rush. Was served efficiently and prompt. I had a regular fish and chips with peas and a pot of tea. The meal came pretty quick and was a decent size and hot. The chips and peas were nicely cooked. The fish was crispy but the batter was full of grease it seemed to have absorbed the fat. The tea was a decent tea but there was only enough water in the pot to fill a small cup. I would have preferred a good sized mug. Overall it wasn't a bad meal but I have had much better. It's just the small details that can turn an average meal into a very good one..

Had lunch here. Not been in ages. If you go on a Monday, Wednesday or Thursday they do meal deals. We had fish and chips. Quality excellent overall. Service by staff was good. Would definitely recommend the next time you are in Doncaster.

Really enjoyed my meal, lovely food for very reasonable price.atmosphere was lovely, staff very friendly. Restaurant clean and well presented.

I fancied a fish and chip treat and called into Rothwells one Saturday lunch time. The whole place could do with a makeover , as it resembles a third rate cafe.The table was sticky, even when it had been cleaned. The staff were very busy as it seems a popular place with a few regulars ( I can't think why ).The fish and chips were OK. I've had worse and I've certainly had better.Unfortunately the quality of the food didn't reflect the high cost of the meal - hardly any change from £10 a head. Oh, and they use whole milk - suet that went out in the '80's. A very disappointing experience and one that I won't be repeating.

Best fish and chips in Doncaster by a country mile. You can't beat a battered fish, chippy chips and mushy peas and this place does it perfectly.

Got to say Rothwells is the best fish and chip shop in the area of Doncaster when we go to Doncaster shopping from 20 miles away we always go to Rothwells for a decent fish and chip cannot fault it in anyway and the staff are always friendly

I found this fish and chip shop/café to be very warm and welcoming. The portions served were just right. It was all served up very hot and freshly cooked and was not swimming in grease. The batter on the fish was light and crispy, and the fish was white without any bones. You have a choice of 3 fish and you are not kept waiting for the food to arrive. It is a very busy café and it isn't hard to see why. I will be visiting this café regularly as it is inexpensive. Visit on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays as it is cheaper.

If you fancy sitting in to eat a good chippy then here is your place. The food is beautiful. The restaurant is nothing special, just somewhere easy and simple to drop in.

Regularly visit here with my parents or other family members. Sometimes we will sit in the restaurant at the back and other times we will sit outside, depending on the weather. The staff are so friendly and cannot do enough. The food is delicious and it is the freshest tasting fish. And it's amazing value!!!

Ever since I can first remember being taken to (in reality "dragged" around) the market when I was small I've enjoyed a bag of chips with scraps from Rothwells. I still love the place. Whenever I'm back home in Doncaster I always try to drop in. The food is still decent, still reasonably priced and on market days there's still a long queue.

Thought we would pay Rothwells a visit (12:15 - 2nd Jan) after Christmas turkey etc. Told to walk straight in as there were plenty of spaces (a first for this restaurant). Sat down but after 10 minutes of waiting we gave up trying to order. Staff were more interested in messing about. Normally a first class service. As we walked out in discussed 2 other families of 4 followed us and said the same as us.

Love to go Rothwells if I'm ever craving chips in town as it's probably the best chippy in Doncaster. You are never waiting for too long and the food is always hot and fresh.

Drop in here for some great fish and chips. Meet the down to earth folk of Donny and enjoy a chat. Very busy on market days, so be warned! Sit outside on sunny days and watch the world go by in Doncaster's busy market. Still serves with a good old fashioned cuppa and bread and butter, if required.

Unassuming and unchanged this place still offers very good quality food at great prices. Well worth a trip.Watty

when shopping in Doncaster its the only place we will go for dinner. been going to rothwells for years. And the quality is still the same never had a bad meal. Our order was taken promptly. Fish chips and peas and sausage chips and peas with 2 soft drinks. food was pipping hot when brought to us lovely golden fluffy chips white flakey cod,crisp batter no sogginess. nicely cooked sausage and lovely mushy peas . good value for money .why not try it you wont be dissapointed

You will not find a better fish and chip shop anywhere eat in or take out it's great and there is always specials on

Been here a few times. Sometimes you have to wait for seating to become available. Worth the wait though really excellent food. The place a is a bit dated but a typical old cafe experience. We both like going there. Say no more.

Very nice fish and chip restaurant. The staff are friendly and a lot of people in. Witch is normal a good sign for me. Really enjoyable fish and chips. Would recommend this restaurant.

We don't go shopping to Doncaster often but every time we do we always eat here. As always the food was delicious, but usually the staff are sullen and miserable. However when we went on Tuesday the 2nd of September a staff member we have never seen before made the place light up. He was happy, courteous and running around with a huge smile on his face. Cheered the place up and made our dinner time so much happier
