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!

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!)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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..

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Visited in February with friends for the bottomless brunch. Some friends had visited before but this was my first time. there was 8 of us in total. All the staff were fantastic. Really polite and kept the booze coming! The food was super tasty and the vibe was fun, relaxed and really enjoyable. We have already mentioned visiting again and Ive recommended the cafe to other friends too.

The talented chef produced wonderful food, as always. Debbie & her staff were lovely and attentive as ever. Why this place is closing at Christmas is beyond me, it is a jewel in Doncasters crown. Thank you for lots of wonderful memories over the years.

The best pub grub in the whole of Doncaster! The chips are phenomenal! ...better than chippy chips! The rest of the food is amazing too and the portion sizes very good. Staff extremely friendly and helpful and prices spot on. Thank you
