The Cods Scallops (Mansfield Road) in Nottingham

Very disappointing. Lovely fish but the worst chips ever. The chips were old and dry, would not order again, especially at that price.

Friday night eat in took daughter and grandaughter brilliant as usual

Lovely food , had pie, chips, and peas. Reasonable priced.

Bought a takeaway fish & chips & samphire....Didnt open until got home...Chips totally undercooked almost raw....The fish wasn't much better...The samphire was full of rough hard stems...Had to throw it all away as inedible....This is a first time using this particular branch...use the Bramcote branch usually always amazing...The Mansfield Road branch wasn't...Cost £15 a total waste of money as ended up in the bin....The staff were rushing the food as people were queuing...Not acceptable...Feel ripped off....Hate posting a bad review but feel compelled to on this occasion. Won't be returning to this branch again. This is not how to treat loyal customers. Would of given zero stars but didn't give this option.

I don't want to be negative but I really felt quite cheated today. I love this place and have always found the food delicious but today I went for lunch, The piece of fish was so thin!!! I really do believe the fish had been cut in half or something? No fillets just a tiny thin layer of fish and lots of chips, too many really as if it was compensating for the lack of fish. I love my fish and chips and when comparing it to others I've had for the same price, the quality was very poor today. If the judges had had my lunch today I do not believe it would be UK award winning!

Only thing was no chips in one order and did get the three can of coke

First time ordering here, excellent food, and the friendliest delivery man, thank you, highly recommended.

Have eaten here many times and the fish and chips are always great! Can recommend this shop for top food and very friendly staff! Great job team!

I'm really disappointed - it's not up to usual quality at all. 3 and half onion rings, a tiny smattering of scraps, a 3/4 full milkshake and the wrong sweet treat (the chocolate orange brownie and not the biscoff blondie). Food very tasty as usual but I'm not impressed with the restaurant at all.

The food is great and the staff are so lovely and friendly. George is a legend - thank you!

Lovely fish and chips. Shame the scampi was missing. Will order direct next time.

Icelandic haddock caught on the line... It's a wonderful harmony to make fish and chips! This restaurant is in my top 3!

Great to eat in; delivery is more of a gamble, as fish and chips usually are soggy on arrival. Fish and chips is best enjoyed piping hot, so I would definitely recommend eating in or at least as soon as possible after you've ordered. The restaurant menu is really nice, you can't go wrong with any of their various fish and chips options. Their mussels in white wine bowl is really tasty and their new soup is delicious. The place is also a fishmonger, with a good selection of seasonal fish and seafood, including cockles, oysters, etc (depending on the time of the year). Very dated, sexist cartoons in the corridor leading to the loos and inside the loos. Not sure why this is still a thing.

Always top quality, always delicious and really prompt delivery.

It’s not the best fish and chip shop and isn’t by a mile. It’s way overpriced and drenched in oil.

10/10 great food good delivery cod&scollops Sherwood is first class food thankyou

chips were so hard absolutely vile, table service wasn’t good it took about 20 minutes before someone came and took my order, some of the staff are friendly but a new employee had a bad attitude towards the other staff as i watched them

Best fish and chips I eated in UK so far, especially the chips ... which are very important for a Belgian 😋

Rubbish meal chips pale not cooked long enough. Baked lobster dry crab tempura too. Very expensive for what we had , won’t go again!

Tasty scampi and nice fish , chips weren't very hot and a bit stodgy.

Great fish and chips and service

The black pudding fritter is good. About it.

Never disappoints, and the "daytime special" for £10 is special indeed!

Best Chippy restaurant ever. Been many times

Excellent fish & chips, fast service and friendly guys, average prices, recommended.

Lovely afternoon spent with my best for belated birthday lunch.... amazing service, lovely people and outstanding food. Love the options to have the fish baked so healthier option 😋 highly recommend

Absolutely amazing place. The food is awesome. Service is excellent. I will visit whenever in the area. Well done, guys never felt more welcome anywhere.

Was really good cod and crispy chips

The staff are lovely and helpful. I found the food ok but expensive. I was going to sit inside but was told the prices are different if you sit inside. It cost me nearly £7 pounds for regular chips and gravy and I had to pay extra for the ketchup. Over £3 pounds for a bottle of ketchup or £1.10 for a little tub of ketchup

Literally the best fish & chips I've ever had.

A regular visitor to Sherwood and have eaten T/O here often. Always been very satisfied but today was extremely disappointing and food poor. Chips, battered fish and Whitebait all without any flavour! Chips and batter soggy. Discarded 2/3. We will not return. A waste of £25.

We ordered 2 x cod + 1 large chips. We’ve had fish & chips from here before and it’s always been very good. We picked up food at allocated time, food was ready to go. The fish was great but, oh dear, the chips were awful! Barely cooked, so pale and hard - there was no flavour to them at all - so disappointing. Won’t be going again.

My husband & I ordered fish & chips takeaway. The fish we both agreed was very nice, the chips were awful. Tasted old , not freshly cooked, pale some under cooked. Not pleasant all.

Beautiful! Pricey, but definitely worth it. Super tasty I absolutely love it here, always have.

Chips was soggy and fish was very greasy peas was cold. onion rings was nice the child’s fish fingers and chips greasy and the batter was all off the fish fingers . Was a shame because you was highly recommended to me by a friend and it was my first time ordering I am disappointed

First time visiting, hopefully not the last. Now, let me start by saying, I know my fish and chips, I've travelled the length and bredth of the UK in the hunt for a good fish supper, having tried places like murgatroyds (imho the best fish and chips) and places like the rock down in Devon and Torquay, the Cods Scallops is a more local affair. Me and my wife visited the other day for some afternoon grub, to be greeted by a lovely looking restaurant with really nice sea related decor and such, we were excited by what was on offer. I personally had the Cod Kebab, which was an original and tasty dish, my wife had the fish pie. Now let me say, the fish, was top tier, a nicely sized fillet that was flaky and meaty, which is always a good thing when it comes to fish, I didn't realise that it wasn't a battered fillet which I assume is down to taste as the kebab is marinaded in a BBQ rub, however I got a side of scraps by asking which elevated the dish. My wife's pie was brimming with fish, prawns, salmon and haddock and the mash was cheesy and gooey, she said it was really good, however what I will say is, the only thing that lets it down, believe it or not is the chips! I've always been a fan of chips that are more cooked, softer to bite with a delicate crunch, however the chips here unfortunately were very subpar, they were very pale and hard, which really.didnt make them stand out at all, they were very bland even when doused in salt and vinegar. The staff on the other hand were very helpful, friendly and attentive and nothing was too much to ask (free scraps!!!!) they also do a loyalty stamp card which is great. I will probably return again, I only hope feedback is taken onboard about the chips, maybe get a staff tasting to try them and have a play with the ratio so they taste better in future. If you're in Nottingham or around, still a worthy shout and they have a lovely dine in area and some unique dishes too. 4***

Great bake cod a chips always outstanding food.

Came here tonight, was served by a lovely young lady named kaiya. She was extremely polite and answered our questions about the portion sizes and which would be the best for us. Definitely the best of the staff here, unfortunately the young lady with glasses came across as extremely rude however we will be returning. Thankyou!!

Ordered as a takeaway as a family but I am very disappointed ordered mini salmon fishcakes and just got one battered and tasteless salmon with an hair in it unfortunately and didn't receive salt and vinegar on the chips. These together came to around £13. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their food so think I just drew the short straw. Also their bag leaked a werid blue ink (I believe it was from the picture on it) onto our white table. I understand mix ups happen but was just a downer to our evening.

Nice food staff and environment.

When ever time has it we will go to the Mansfield Road Scallops. Great service very friendly Manager in James and great service and food. Not cheap but the quality is very good. And worth the money. Reccomend

Delicious, by far the best fish and chips I’ve ever had in the UK. No seating available in the shop anyway. Not expensive, big portion.

The best thing about my meal was the mint at the end. The food was not bad but just average, more value for money from a local chippy. I ordered the cod tacos, they are not tacos it is just a wrap. And also ordered the soft shell crab, maybe I am greedy but you only get one and it was not as tasty as I have had before else where.

Omg. Their cod and chips are still the best I have tasted in all my travels. Delicious. Get those extra bits with your chips if asked. Fantastic.

The guys and gals who work here are always super lovely! Very friendly and the atmosphere is beaut! Best fish and chips around!

Fantastic service by Lana and her team. Can not rate this place enough. Came with my husband with dementia and care and attention 100% .

Been before, it was pretty good, second time was exactly the same.

We took our grandchildren for lunch over half term. They loved it, and so did we. The best fish and chips I've had in a long time. The children's portions were generous, and the chicken nuggets were chicken breast meat.

Forgot one of my chips that I ordered

foid cold def not worth the money f

Definitely not as good as it used to be. Chips were like they’ve been cooked twice. Fish was thin and hardly any batter. Muscles weren’t good. Like they were in water, no flavour. £7.50 for three panko breaded prawns. The only thing that was nice was the black pudding fritter.

The waitress forgot our starter. Then when we finished eating we waited 10-15 minutes for the table to be cleared & to be offered a dessert but this didn’t happen. A shame because we usually really love it here.

What a difference a year makes!! Ordered a year ago and the food was incredible 10/10, ordered now and the food was average at best. Very disappointing for the price. Will not be using you again.

I was working nearby and colleagues recommended this place for lunch. It was some of the most delicious fish n chips I’ve had in a very long time. I had the fish taco which came with great chips. The fish was amazing and I loved the crunchy, fresh salad that came with it too. Service was great. 100% recommend!

I'm not from the area staff were really nice,I only had chips but I tell u what they were the cods scallops,best chips I've ever had from a chippy,thanks guys.

Whilst on the pricier side of fish and chips you can tell that you get really good quality produce. We had a large haddock with chips, Scampi with mushy peas and curry sauce and it was all very tasty. Will definitely return as it' a great Fish and Chip shop

This restaurant claims to be award winning and I can confirm this! My partner and I have been here several times now when staying in Nottingham and it’s a golden gem if you love fish and chips! My partner always opts for the sausage and chips as she’s not a fan of fish and she absolutely loves it! I always go for the cod and chips and the fish is perfectly battered, the fish is thick and flakey and the chips are divine! The ice cream is to die for if you have a sweet tooth or love your ice creams and deserts. I could not recommend this place enough! Honestly, the staff are lovely, the decor is lovely and rather quirky and cool! Show this amazing chippie some love because it really is the best.

Good food and menu at reasonable prices. Meals presented well and portions acceptable. Does not take bookings.

We used to enjoy coming here but visited last night and the food was not nice. Chips were found to be chewy.

I went for the plaice, chips, curry sauce and a bottle of sprite. The fish was very overcooked and dry, the chips very bland and non-descript. Considering that this was over £20 for this meal I found extortionate, especially seen as I've had better and larger fish and chips for less than £3. Staff seemed to be rather ignorant and flat. Not somewhere that I'll be visiting again. Only gave the atmosphere 3 as was having a great time catching up with a friend I hadn't seen for a while.

Lovely food definitely use again

First time using this shop for takeaway. The food was poor and that is being kind. The chips were like rubber, and so many just little hard bits. The fish was overdone and had hardly any batter on . For the price which was extremely expensive I was expecting a lot better, Unfortunately I don't think I will risk that amount again on this being a one off.

We went for the first time,we ordered our food,found a table to sit at abd we ended up waiting a very long time for the food to arrive, a waitress asked if we had been served as she saw us sitting there for a long time,we said we had ordered a while ago and other people had been served before us who arrived after us,she kindly went to see where our order was and she came back with a plate of food and said once I had paid the person who took our order and payment had cancelled it ! So we sat like fools waiting for our meal that wasn't going to come if that young lady hadn't asked about it, the food was OK, very expensive in my opinion the restaurant was nice,good decor but the toilets need checking as when I used the toilet there was a dirty nappy left on top of one if the bins and the packets hanging out of the sanitary bin, 😏 and it smelled 🤮 Sorry but I probably won't come back nor recommend.

Mansfield Road chip shop. Food was really nice. Ate every morsel. Two adults and two children. Two large cod and chips, childs cod and chips, childs sausage and chips with mushy peas times 4. All the food was tasty. Most importantly the kids ate it all. It was quiet in restaurant. Service was Ok just a tad slow. Grandchildren wanted (but did not need) the sundae dessert of ice cream etc. That was £6.50 each. The cost was a bit of a shock. The meals plus 3 orange drinks and a glass of water. Total price for the four of us was £84.50 Crikey. Granddaughter said " see grandma I told you we should have gone to McDonalds" !! https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g186356-d3441322-r922461973-The_Cod_s_Scallops-Nottingham_Nottinghamshire_England.html#

Food is good, I would recommend takeout. I'm not sure why but the service is always slow.

Food absolutely shocking..chips greasy ..half of them went in the bin..not even chips just hard crispy bits full of grease ( not batter bits). The portion of chips small. Fish was okay.. nothing to shout about. First time here and NEVER again..Over priced £15 to takaway . Can get much better at local chippy for the half price. I would NOT recommend then EVER.

Takeout review: Quality is good! Very tasty and filling. However it is *very expensive* for the portion sizes and serving took 15-20 mins, so not the best if you just want a quick pop to the chippy.A standard battered sausage, chips and gravy cost nearly £10, which is bordering on a rip off! See the attached photo. I'd recommend you visit this place as a restaurant, not for the takeaway, due to how expensive it is. But the quality is great!

We have been a valued customer of cod & Scallop for many years our first and favourite call was at bramcote we have been to 5 or 6 others over the years . We just visited west Bridgeford and my cod and chips where dreadful even though the young lady informed me they had a chef ! I said do you mean head fryer no she said he’s a chef 😂 when we originally went a large cod was full of fish tonight it was dreadful and spot the cod

Excellent quality of fish and chips highly recommend to anyone lovely clean restaurant and takeaway

I went because of the press coverage. I went at lunch time. When I entered the only four customers present were seated and enjoying their meal. I tried to get the attention of the staff but they all seemed busy. After some time i was advised to take a seat. No one came to take my order. I tried twice to attract their attention. I gave up and left. No one tried to speak to me. I won't be going back.

Grabbed a small fish and chips with mushy peas as a takeaway dinner after a long day, and my goodness it was a day-changer! Perfectly flakey fish, crispy batter, delicious chips … excellent!

We sometimes come here if we fancy 'posh' fish and chips. It's more expensive than other fish and chips places but the fish is lovely here. It's nice to eat in and not have the washing up. An alternative to chips is also available, which I really like. I had the Asian salad which was delicious and went surprisingly well with cod. Batter was crispy and edible but rather too poly, otherwise top nosh.

Food good but service indifferent 😐. And not cheap either 😑 Seriously, you pay nearly £15 for fish and chips and you're charged over £1 for a tiny pot of garlic mayonnaise!!! Staff please note, it doesn't cost anything to smile!!

Family meal last night. Large cod- You’re having a laugh! Tiny portion of mushy peas £2.70!! Greasy tables. Greasy seats. Unbearably loud music. Been a fan of this place since Bramcote Lane place opened. Never again. Trading on past glories I’m afraid. Rip off.

Ridiculously expensive for what it is. Where I come from you would get 2 fish in a fish order, and also the fish was £8.90 and not a supper, just one lonely fish. So a meal was nearly £14 when you include chips. Really??

Best chippy in nottingham, many choices of fish , amd the chips was yum

TERRIBLE PIE GREASY HARD NO GRAVY VERY DISAPPOINTED. NEARLLY 9 QUID JUST FOR A TINY PIE. WHICH STATES FRESHLY MADE CLEARLY NOT

Hugely disappointing visit with grandchildren. Chips were just warm and more batter than fish. Poor service. had to keep going to counter to request items. Puddings were served and dirty plates still on table. Also overpriced. Will not visit again.

Excellent high quality Fish & Chips. Delivered quickly and in very good condition, still hot etc.

Lovely food, but third time now walking away without the full order. Realy be ideal for me to double check before leaving

Very clean place, I ate the fish & chips but in my opinion the baked preparations are also good. I ate a very good baked sea bass (sea bass) and also an excellent baked salmon, not dry at all. I've also seen good prawns served. Honest prices. The staff work very hard, however they always look smiling and welcoming and the guys at the grill cook very well. They close in the evening at 9pm and clean until late. Truly an excellent place also for compatriots who are used to high standards. Honestly, I wish there was a place like this here too.

Great bater for the fish and good chips. Decoration is nice and waiting times are not too long. Enjoyed a good cod.

Ordered online many times. Last 2 orders was sent large portion of chips but they were completely raw. Not sure how that happens in a fish and chip shop… unable to get a refund. Won’t be doing any more business. Shame because we used to order every other day.

Absolutely loved the food! Staff were friendly! Reasonably priced too! Win win! Worth a visit!

Cleanliness and customer service at its peak...... food is also OK but portion is small.

Very good value for money Dessert also It was nice

Normally eat in and take out from this place and food is Normally good. Just ordered for a delivery and the food must of been kept warm all day at restaurant. All the food chips/fish the award winning pie was serious all dried out. It was that bad we couldn't ear it. I don't normally leave reviews but I was that disappointed.

Enjoyed the food. Place was a little dead for a Friday night, fish,chips, and mushy peas, £16.70, on the pricey side but nice.

Batter soggy. FIsh not good, dry possibly overcooked not fresh. Greasy. Chips tasteless not crisp. Doesn't live up to their reputation.

£20 for fish and chips? This place used to be good with large chunky cod. Sadly it's now a post covid, energy hiked economy pittence of a fish. Barely filled half the small box it came in. For the price I'd expect better. Sorry disappointed for the last time. I won't be back.

After several poor outings at the ins at Wilford which needs bringing back into shape , we dropped into the branch on Mansfield road ! Excellent in every way soft crispy chis great battered cod ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍

The baked fish was bland and tasteless. The chips were very hard and didn't seem fresh at all. It was an expensive meal. £70 for 3 adults and 2 children and categorically the worst fish and chips we have ever had

Good range of seafood dishes however unfortunately most of them off the menu when we went. To be honest just slightly above average fish n chips so seems overrated. Booze being available with meals was a definite positive.

The good is brilliant. I had the cheese pie and it was very, very delicious. The staff are pleasant and nothing seems too much trouble. A very nice evening meal with a glass of wine. I mean, what's not to like.

This chippy has got a great reputation for a reason! We decided to sit in and eat and the service was great, lovely staff members, the price is perfect for what you’re ordering. Good selection of drinks too. I had the small battered cod, chips and curry sauce and the portion sizes are amazing.

great food high quality but very expensive

Visited yesterday (Saturday afternoon) after vowing never to return after being served a below average meal in the Wollaton branch a while ago..Cannot post any photos of our meal as there wasn’t one….was told to sit down and our order would be taken,the restaurant was fairly quiet but after sitting for 17 minutes and being ignored we walked out….no zero rating so begrudgingly you earn one star…brilliant 👎

Got a takeaway. Up from London visiting family. A bit disappointed with my haddock and chips as they were a bit overdone. Not terrible, but a little disappointing. Great service, so would give them another go as I was told that this place does excellent fish and chips. The venue was extremely popular, so I think and hope that maybe I was a bit unlucky with my meal. Will give them another try when I'm next up in Nottingham.

Following a hospital stay and surgery, I was driven down to pick up a comforting takeaway 20 mins before closing. My family love fish and chips, but I am vegetarian and usually can’t have anything at a chippy… (sometimes I can’t even have the chips) so it isn’t usually my first choice. However, The Cod’s Scallops had plenty of veggie and vegan options which is why we ended up there tonight. The entrance and restaurant was bright, clean, inviting and warm. The young woman at the till was so friendly and welcoming, as were the chefs. I’ve worked in hospitality for years and have never met such lovely, hospitable kitchen staff. I was feeling unsurprisingly unwell in myself, so this meant so much to me tonight. I got home to realise my chips were missing from the bag, however when I phoned back (already after closing) someone was quick to answer the phone and passed me through to the manager. To my surprise, the manager very kindly offered to drive out to my home address to deliver the chips and make up for this mistake. He was with us very quickly, was very polite, apologetic and helpful. These mistakes happen, but as a family we’ve never seen such good customer service when running into similar issues in the past elsewhere. Thank you to the entire team at The Cod’s Scallops for the delicious meal and impeccable service, God knows I needed it! We will definitely be back.😊

Really nice food, no complaints at all. Would definitely go back.
