The Cod's Scallops in Erewash

Not usually one to complain but had to share poor experience. Ordered for family £50’s worth of food. Chips underwhelming, stale texture. Pie was £8.50 and filling was tasteless. Scampi and the cod were the only redeeming feature as they were pleasant. All drinks were not packed, and when politely called back to share this feedback, was met with an obnoxious attitude with a “it’s been very busy” excuse and no apology - accountability would have gone a long way. Overrated and overpriced. Stick to your local.

I brought my son here today to get a kids meal as a good boy reward ar school. They only offered pork sausage either batterd or not. The intention was to get him fish as we don't eat pork. We were pretty ashamed thay there is not a fish item on the kids menu and when asked why they don't do anything we was told it's the owner who writes the menu. This is terrible for a fish and chip shop.

I know it’s Weds night, but I’m still paying for the quality I didn’t receive! Very disappointed, prawn cocktail was 3 leaves of gem lettuce (literally), a few prawns and way too much sauce. No bread and butter. The batter on the fish was really weird, according to my Dad it had ‘stringy bits’ and I could see some weird texture in it even though I didn’t taste any. My parents won’t be ordering again. (Hopefully Just Eat will refund the prawn cocktail, otherwise I won’t be ordering again either)

Had a lovely meal here after a relaxing afternoon at the spa. Really enjoyed the baked cod. My friend had the salad, I wish I had too as it looked so nice. We'll be back when we're next in the area.

Very impressed with the food quality and taste but delivery let it down as was late even though I ordered 6 hours prior to delivery

We had the afternoon special. Small fish chips and peas with cup of tea. Well cooked and reasonable portion. Would definitely call again

The food was stunning, the chips were golden the batter was the best we have had. Hats off to the fryer who was on today ( 28th August ) you did an excellent job

Best fish n chips I’ve had in the Midlands - you’d need to go to the seaside to get better!

Drive called still got address wrong

Awful service, part of the take out order ‘forgotten’, attitude of staff poor. Ripoff when you have to return and they just give you a smaller portion of what was missed! Never again, rubbish service.

Terrible , order and payed for large chips, large cod and small cod & 3 curry sauce to take out. Not rushed off their feet as only one other couple eating in, got home and no chips, just two fish and curry sauce! Went back and they seemed unsure and just said sorry mate and then gave a small chips. Couldn’t be bothered to argue with them, not worth it. Need to get with the service, feel like it’s gone down hill as staff just couldn’t be bothered! Robbed as over £21!

service and portion size let this award winning shop down. Obviously the judges book ahead so they can get the smart waiting staff in with brains.

Dreadful! Filthy tables, literally had to ask for it to be cleaned. Service was shocking, waited 20mins to get a drink. Served the main course and we asked where our starters were... delivered at the asne time - well about 2mins after we asked were they were!) - they didn't realise they hadn't served them!!! Food was well over cooked and they couldn't butter a slice if bread if their lives depended on it! Never again!!!

We visited here recently after watching the Long Eaton carnival, having plenty of seating to choose from. Staff members were very accommodating and showing us to our seats and then got a highchair for us. After getting comfy, we the staff member came over to take our order, We went for two mini fish and chip deals and a kids meal. The kids meal was right on the price point, including a drink, main meal and desert. We chose the fish finger and chips, to our surprise the fish fingers were huge, including chips in a mini sand bucket. For the kids dessert we went for ice cream in a pot. Staff throughout were very attentive to our needs and everywhere was spotless. We will definitely be visiting here again in the future.

Reheated. 25 pound and it was awful

Good excellent especially the cod. Had lunch time special which is great value for money Staff were extremely friendly and helpful which makes the certainty of a return Would recommend

Paid for mushy peas didn’t not receive mushy peas missing from my order ……………………….??????????????????????????????????????,?? ???????????????????? ????????

All the local Cod's Scallops are great but the Long Eaton one is the best . The layout is very spacious and clean , the food consistently top notch , the service fast and the staff very friendly . Better than Skeggy fish and chips by far. Eat in , cod chips and peas plus a mug of tea for £10 takes some beating . The mushy peas are the best ever too .Everything about this particular eatery is 5🌟. Try it !

Order was not what I was expecting part missing cold. Won't be using you again.

Food always 1st class. We get baked fish instead of batter and it's absolutely delicious. Staff are always very attentive and look after you. One of our favourite restaurants.

Went here with my family the other night. Stood by the ‘please wait here’ sign for a couple minutes before we were finally seated at the same time another family walked in. They received their menus from the waiter but we had to go get our own from the bar. We were surrounded by a handful of dirty uncleared tables for over an hour, it just didn’t create a nice, welcoming atmosphere. Service was so slow. After 30 minutes, we finally got our food. The food just isn’t as it used to be. We received our bill and it was just over £45 for 2 adults and a child. We didn’t even have any drinks! Very expensive for it was and definitely won’t be going back there.

Update 2024. Prices gone up a lot since Covid. Patchy service. Opening times are incorrect. Say 9.30 but fryers close at 8.50 said Luke, so no chance of sitting in restaurant after this time. To be fair, not sure about the freshness of takeaway after 8.50 if the fryers are off.

Went with my mum yesterday the fish is absolutely lovely 🙌🏽 no complaints on the peas either. The chips were okay, still ate them. The young lady that came to the table was very attentive and polite bless her very soft spoken and helpful I think the manager also very friendly may be her mum they have a likeness to each other. Will be revisiting 🙌🏽

Amazing food and really friendly, welcoming staff

Went in for takeaway. Staff were bad and food was burnt, hard and mostly uneaten . If I wasn't in a hurry would have taken it all back .Willnot be going there again

WOW, everything was PERFECT! From chicken nuggets to tandoori kebab! This was for my birthday celebration and we were all trying each other’s and exclaiming how perfect and tasty everything was! For four of us, it was really expensive vs the usual takeaway brands, but for a celebration and reasons for not wanting to go out, this was THE perfect takeaway for us! Definitely something we will consider again!

We ordered two large cod on batter. What we received was neither large nor in decent batter. This company has change massively, and not for the better. When we first bought from them the fish was excellent, now it was the thinnest fillet you could get away with. See the photo.

Tasty food, big enough portions. Very good service

Very nice we always enjoy your fish and chips. The mini meal suits us well as we only have small appetites now

Panko coated prawns £8.60 ! for 3 small prawns supposedly king size……crazy. I would order again if I won the lottery. If you are watching your pennies, forget it.

We went this evening. Crunchy calamares like none I've even seen. Fish ok, but maybe not fully cooked, chips rubbish. We won't be back. Also 60 quid for two of us! Go to Sawley Catch instead!

Food is very good but you do seem to pay for it, not really sure when a plate of chips and mushy peas got to £7, but its no longer affordable if your hoping to get a treat on a budget.

Sadly part of the order was missing . What we had we good though

Nice fish n chips curry lovely. Scampi brill. Couldn’t give full marks because young waitress was a work in progress lol.

The cod was absolutely delicious and the curry sauce was very tasty but the chips weren’t that good especially at £5 a portion. Overall I was happy if the chips were as good as the rest of the meal, shame.

Just called on the way home, used to enjoy fish & chips from the cods scallops in Wollaton. I was really disappointed, the quality was poor and the Long Eaton offering is a poor representation of the brand. To illustrate what I mean, the tub of mush peas was just liquid, no peas at all. Just like watered down pea soup. How can anybody serve this? I don't normally complain but it was not good at all.

Excellent food as always speedily delivered

Good quality fish & chips, good range of seafood on the menu. Fish & chips had traditional flavour, nice crisp batter. Service was good.

Ordered the prawn cocktail and the Marie Rose sauce was spicy and we don’t like spicy food. You need to state this in the description. Went in bin, £8.60 wasted. Rest of the meals were gorgeous.

Just been first time for 4 years used A 30£ voucher tried to charge 30£ for small fish chips twice after complaining got another voucher to use again but don't think it's worth it

3 panko prawns for £8 and cous cous salad that is so lemony it tastes like kitchen cleaner ans inedible, onion rings good, over priced, disappointed tbf

Superb as always. A seaside restaurant treat that always delivers on choice, service, surroundings, price and taste. This place oozes quality and never lets you down.

Great menu, all the classics plus their own great dishes, homemade fish cakes, battered sprouts before Xmas, seafood, great modern chippy with a seating table service area.

Food is good but Beans were stone cold again for the third time. Needs to be checked.

freshly cooked to order staff. very pleasant..

Food was cold and chips No beer order and I paid for it in advance

I will admit the fish was cooked perfectly but wow how much !!! . £3.50 for a can of pop is borderline robbery . It’s a pity as food is good but far to expensive to be regularly used

Shared a mini fish & chips and battered pigs in blankets. Fish & chips were superb with crisp light batter, perfectly cooked fish and lovely chips. The pigs are full-sized but unfortunately the sausage was very salty and did not come with the brown sauce as described.

Not all that warm but eatable too much just for a small can of coke

Very good fish and chips restaurant. Would have got 5 stars, but. They got two things wrong with our order. The wrong wine was served and we didn't get everything we ordered. Also, the chips varied in size and the smaller ones were incredibly hard. Apart from that, service was friendly and quick, and food was very tasty.

Was looking for a chippy in the area and that came up as the closest to where we were. We grabbed fish and chips and battered hallumi for take away. We live 1 year now in Nottingham and so far we weren't impressed with any chippy we tried. The Cod's Scallops though was by far the best, so far least. It's also worth mentioning, for whoever cares about it, that fish is skinless which is what were looking for all this time as we don't eat the skin. We will definatelly go back for it.

We have lived around the area for 3yrs and decided to have a sit down meal, we both had cod and chips and a side order of minty pea fritters and all we can say is every bit of it was fantastic. The staff are absolutely brilliant and very polite and courteous so happily recommend if in the area 😊

It's OK about sums it up for me personally. The award winning pie was nothing special. Veg in a chip shop steak pie is definitely a no from me. All told OK, nothing to write home about and a little on the expensive side.

Wide and varied menu. The fish soup was overpriced.

Lovely fish and chips delivered on time.

Lovely food and bonus batter bits will be going back asap

So tasty lovely fish n chips batter amazing x staff are so friendly

Steak and Ale pie and chips. Pie was horrendous and the chips hard and tasteless. Fish and Chip shop of the year! Wow the others must have been bad. Feel like I've been robbed of £10

My order did not show up at all so my food all paid for I had a message saying it was ready and no one turned up with my food

We had the seafood platter which was fantastic. Great seafood restaurant that's well worth a visit. Further update: made another visit in September and I was absolutely blown away by the steak and ale pie. Every mouthful was rich, full of flavour, carrots cooked perfectly , steak tender and plentiful, the gravy was thick and hot but not scalding, the pastry was flakey but also soft. Absolutely perfect and stunning pie. I've never had one like it, I'll never look at pukka pies the same again.

I had not been to any of the COD’s Scallops restaurants before and I had heard some positive reports but it did not live up to its reputation. The chips were good, so was the mushy peas and the curry sauce but they were just the same as you get in other fish and chip shops. I had half a lobster which was good but not much meat for the price. The cod was over cooked which made the batter very crisp, so much so that it shattered as you tried to cut it. The thin end of the fish was dry and over cooked. Two meals and two drinks cost £36. It was over priced and cooked with little care. Their bottled beer “Scale Ale” was better than I expected. I was disappointed. If I was to go again I would have chips, curry sauce and a beer, the rest was all overrated.

Chips were quite dry and hard, almost like we got what was left over. Other than the meal was nice.

The most expensive cod n chips ever from a chippie! Same flippin price as a sit down fish n chips in a pub! Nothing special either!

Absolutely loved the food here today, popped in after spending the day at the local spa, I can honestly say these were the best fish and chips we have had. The staff are fantastic super friendly and polite.

We found this fish & chip restaurant after a day at the local spa. The restaurant was really clean and very well kept and the staff were all really friendly and helpful. Our food was ready quickly and was just delicious. I'm glad we found this place, we'd definitely visit again when we're in the area next time.

Great food and kids under 12 eat free when dining in.

Order was left on our Front Doorstep. Nobody rang the Bell or knocked. We don't know what time it was actually delivered. Order was cold when we found it !! Had to be reheated in the Microwave and was horrible. A total waste of almost £40. This has happened before but they at least rang our bell before putting it on the doormat and going.

Tried the sea bass as never had before, very nice. Gravy is amazing and chips were really tasty too

Hands down best chip supper I've had. And couldn't get further from the sea! You get what you pay for; beautifully crunchy batter, and crispy chips that melt in the mouth. Even their own made ketchup tastes incredible. And you leave without the heavy after-dinner grease-slump you get from other chip shops. Great service too.

Nice fish,the taste of the cheese fryit is to die for.

Always good food and great service. Nice clean place

Lovely and fresh food, little expensive.

We was a party of 16 from the Morris minor owners club for our annual fish & chip night, we enjoyed first class service and wonderful food , which everyone enjoyed. Thankyou

Excellent friendly service, delicious food

Went here for a friend's birthday meal, was seated quickly and drink order taken quickly and food then after, food arrived in good time and was delicious, hot, nicely presented, we were checked on and ended up sharing a pudding, this was absolutely fine. Will be returning again for sure and highly recomend this inland seaside food place which by the way they also do take out.

Good food but absolutely extortionate prices Takeaway fish chips n drink £19 for one person Absolute daylight robbery Will not be going again

Overpriced bland food, terrible service and a very unpleasant atmosphere. Avoid like the plague.

The cod was small for £12.70 each. I just didn’t see the value in £35 for two fish and 1 large chips with and 1 portion of mushy peas.

Really dissatisfied!!! Just tried the goan monk fish curry. I received 4 small pieces of fish in what can only be described as curried water with a few onions floating around in the bottom. It tasted like the chip shop curried sauce but really watered down. This is not a curry. £13.50 + chips. £18.00 total. Absolutely disgusting. My kids could of done a better job.

Found the portions small and very overpriced. Limited food menu for a fish and chip shop. A bottle of fanta orange over £3 that is extotionate.

We got the lunch deal. Chips, fish cake and drink £4.80 The chips were super stale, almost inedible. The cod cake was very very small, tasted average. Basically your getting a tray of chips for like £3 a cod for £1 probably the same width as a coke can And a drink for 80p. The roof of my mouth hurts from the chips. Avoid

Sorry to say this was a very disappointing meal. We took our Australian friends to try Cod ,chips and mushy peas but I left slightly embarrassed as I thought the meal would have proved to have been much, much better . The fish batter was dark and unappetising. The chips were not straight out of the pan fresh, they looked like they had been stood a while. The staff however were very friendly and helpful they nicest part of the experience. So sorry we won't be coming back any time soon. Alan

Very disappointed bearing in mind the cost of the meal.

Food wasn't that hot by the time it arrived

Lovely food, cooked perfectly. Waitress very good.

試咗fish & chips 同 superfood special (grilled tuna)， 味道唔錯。 值得一試。 (不過對香港人呢餐就太多豆啦)

Great quality. Happy to support a local business which uses local suppliers.

Very disappointed had cod chips and curry sauce also a portion of chips and curry sauce for a friend I’d been raving on about how nice the fish and chips were very embarrassed chips tasted like they had been reheated and cod wasn’t as it used to be proper nice cod that flaked paid £18.50 and sat in all the traffic through the roadworks as knew they had been very good before this is the second time they’ve been not so good I don’t mind paying a higher price for the standard they used to be but don’t think I will be having them again.

The fish was not good it was very overcooked the batter was really burnt not good at all

A very good meal at a good price. The fish was perfect and the overall service was spot on

we had fish chips mussy peas 2 bread and butter and 2 teas was over 30 pound half hour later was as sick as a dog discusting food

Good quality fish and chips, love the fact that I can have mine baked rather than battered, treat for the whole family

Had fish, chips, peas and curry The fish was nice but the chips where dry and harder than a chip should be and the peas were like water. if this has been voted the uks best chippy i think some judges have taken a back hander.

The food was delicious. The staff were friendly and there is a good choice for everyone there is even deserts which tastes great.

Freshly cooked and so well done.

Being from the South, getting good fish&chips up north is a nightmare! But Cod Scallops can definitely hold its own with any Southern Gaff..

We must be unlucky on the evidence of these reports. Had take out twice. Chips - overcooked. Nowhere near as good as our local chippie. Scallops? Is this an urban myth? Never have any?

Amazing food and amazing service!!!! Love it

Good quality food, relaxing atmosphere, and most importantly, space for buggy! We’ll definitely visit again
