York Road Golden Cod in Doncaster

Best in the area and very reasonably priced, thoroughly enjoyed our meal, highly recommended 👌

Good fish and chips, what more could you ask for.

The chips was ok but the portion size was slightly smaller than I am used to. But the service was great.

Ordered small fish small chips small peas cost a whopping £12. Firstly the chips not great far to many through away over half, what a waste. The fish was a medium not small and tasted absolutely horrible. The peas tasted like they had been in washing up liquid and they were marinated, not mushy. All in all a waste of money I could have got the same amount in Skellow for £7.50 never again will I set foot in that chip shop again but you live and learn. This place should be investigated by the authorities ie. the health department the attitude of the woman that served me was appalling in Hindsight, I should’ve told them where to stuff the fish and chips and so-called mushy peas where the sun doesn’t shine.

Peas are like bullets they aren't mushy at all and very tasteless

Been there today chip soggy and cold only 3 bits of kebba on a sandwich meal not very nice eatin cold food

Hood fish and chip shop you get alot for your money remember it's cash only

Food was freezing cold it took 20 minutes to come so it must of come out shop cold never use again

Just had a delicious kebab in a perfect naan! Great place. Great chips too.

Always outstanding, price, value for money service, quality, Never had a bad meal from here.

£20.90 for 2 fish and 1 bag of chips. Never ever again people just won't pay that and not that good either 🤬

Absolutely beautiful food no grease on paper taste great to

Me and lads from work get fish and chips from golden cod every Friday and it never fails to impress us, very good prices and brilliant staff! Definitely recommend.

Decided to have a change, had a chippy tea ,really enjoyed it ,excellent food very generous portions ,staff served with a smile 😃 would recommend.

Chips are so lardy now and the mushy peas were hard. Won't be going back again.

This used to be the best chippy for miles, not anymore Served by who I believe was, the owner asked for large chips more like a small portion Chips small & soggy mushy peas like bullets I'll not be going again..

Takeaway, awful, greasy and disgusting

Ordered for the first time this evening. Ordered large chips and large cod, they sent a sack of spuds and a whale. But it was delicious. I will be ordering again

Really nice fish and chips also good size portion. 👍

Awful 😖 I asked for a large haddock.she gave me cod,he said no haddock left,I said why not tel me its cod i said.he said because we've ran out.i said I want a fresh cod at least,he refused so I took the original cod out of the heater,mushy peas bloody Awful like bullets,chips passable. Foreigners can't cook fish and chips like the British..its a fact.awful experience. Advertised haddock.he said its cod.

Well I wont be using this place again the last time I went I got a donner meat n salad sandwich and I got the lettuce core and pinky brown lettuce within in it, now I know mistakes happen so I let it side as I've used this chippy for years went back today got 2 burgers got home went to take a bite to see mouldy burger buns on both 🤮 and that I cant let side it is disgusting the owner was the 1 who served me and said he would replace them but I couldnt stomach it after that he said I could have a refund tho so was fair even tho the order cost me 11.20 and he only give me 8.60 even tho I took it all back and he did apologise more than once but sorry this place is not for me no more.

Just had the worst ever chips I've ever Tried to eat .Pale undercooked greasy pile of horrible mess .Saving grace is the fish was OK So all the chips have gone in the bin

Just really enjoyed our fish and chips, they were great

Fantastic food love the Chinese curry sauce

Fujjjjj chips no testy , never again

Worst chips I have ever had. Tasted weird with a leathery texture, kebab dry and cold. This was a great chippy what has happened? Only went as my local chippy closed at 2130 hrs. BE AWARE CASH ONLY in this day and age surley got to be joking

Just had 3 of the most disgusting portions of cod, land the chips where old and dry, The cod was dry old and was like eating carpet really thick batter and old fish, chips were dry and tasted warmed up the mushy peas were full of water with no taste, to say I was disappointed is a understatement, at nearly £25 I feel I've been robbed won't be returning, absolutely disgusting wouldn't even give it to my dog I'm so disappointed don't waste your money people.

Great chippy good food and well priced my weekly go to

Stopped ordering from here as fish batter was always soggy Months down line thought I'd give it another go 12.50 for large fish chips to be delivered fish awful mostly rock hard batter Lesson learnt dont ever go back

Found this place on my travels. Wasn’t expecting to take out a small loan. Massively overpriced, £8.50 for a small fish and chips, don’t even get a free drink included with the meal. Also they only accept cash. Can’t say I’ll be coming back next time I’m in Doncaster.

Yes they do deserve there award from the free press, friendly staff fish and chips were perfect really enjoyed them

First time I've been for a long time, ordered a chip butty & small curry. The chips weren't even chips they were rock hard cold little tiny things & curry was also cold. Went straight in bin

Best chips I have had for a long time

Millgate bentley they just sent the most tasty huge meat tray wos gawjus would Highly recomend 👍

Always had a good meal but unfortunately last night I was overcharged but I don't know who to complain to

When has it ever been £1:80 for a Cone of chips had a bike down on way home with Babi with just a quick stop in to keep her quiet in back of 2 wheeler cart you know how it is 😂 the staff there absolutely fantastic only had bit of change on me the blonde woman she let me off with like 40p least some good people still out there no wonder place ain’t as busy anymore

Really disappointing today hard and barely warm chips. Was supposed to be an after school treat. Clearly I've been subject to chips sat there for some time.

It is really nice food however me and my family all had some small fish bones in our food and we have a 1 year old who ate this who also had a bone in his food

There are only 3 chips shops in Doncaster I would use and this is in my top 3. Food is good quality and cooked perfectly. Staff are friendly.

Great place I do like their spam fritters with chips and chip shop style curry sauce Shame they don’t take card payments but obviously they keeping Cash alive Staff seem very friendly and not Mardy buggers like some shops Only thing I don’t like about the place is the TV displays for the pricelist

Its good but a bit of a mix up with order.

Food always good and staff fantastic

Friendly staff and great fish and chips.

Parking available. Fresh chips lovely.. price reasonable..enjoyed

Super friendly and great prices! Only chippy in doncaster I've found sell my down south home comfort savloys! Yummy! Very fresh tasty chips!

Great chippy, highly recommended 👍

Came here for the first time. En will be the last chip's were all morks in them peas wernt even green she put too many chips on when I sed I only want a few. Me scraps I asked for went soggy cos she put me peas all over the top of em en the peas well as I say not even green,and they were like water soaked all on the chips leaving hard bullet peas on top! Yuk no flavor even in the vinegar .Never again!

Absolutely fantastic chip shop staff well mannered delivery driver 10 out of 10 food 10 out of 10 will be ordering again thanks ur regularlys

Love the lady's that work here xx always welcoming and up for a laugh x

Fish lovely and whit and chips done to perfection and when the say large ,large it is not like the the large at a certain chain named after a east coast fishing town famous for a certain vampire

Gave loads of chips for cheap. Couldn't eat them all

Mushy peas like bullets fish overcooked

I really like this chippy, the staff are warm and pleasent, the food is generally good, and allways generous amounts of chips, one portion is enough for two people, it's popular so sometimes there is a queue, there is a good choice on the menu, some items you have to order on entry. Really worth a visit for a treat.

Always nice fish. Great service. I just wish they would get a card machine so you don't have to carry cash.

Clean shop , friendly staff and great fish and chips too !

Open at 5 went at 5 Expecting fresh chips chips stale n luke worm ied say from last opening Definitely won't be back

I grew up in West Yorkshire, where many fish and chip shops still use beef dripping to make their fish and chips. When I bought a house in South Yorkshire I had a rude awakening (if you can indeed describe an awakening as lasting for many years) when trying to get the perfect serving of everybody’s favourite fish supper. Sadly, after about 15 years I have to report that most chippies around Doncaster fare very poorly when compared to the standards in Leeds/Bradford/Halifax and other places. I started asking people who run these places (in Donny) what they put into the fryer and batter - and most people are using firstly something like vegetable oil, and secondly they make their batter using pre-mixed ingredients from stuff knocked up in a factory. This is the reason they all taste the same and are very bland to start with. Then there is the problem that a lot of these fish and chip shops also supply pizzas, kebabs, Chinese food, all kinds of nonsense... all of it prepared in packets by some factory supplier. Is it a surprise that I’m disappointed after having the first few decades of my life supplanted with wonderful memories of fish and chips from little knocks in the wall who only did that for a living? You might think I’m moaning a little, but seeing as fish and chips is supposed to be this country is national dish I expect those people who purport to have a fish and chip shop to be able to make it to a certain standard. And my standard is not bland batter surrounding a tasteless piece of white fish. And don’t even get me going on the incredible varying qualities of all the different batters I’ve had to put up with while trying to find somewhere that could do this specific job of making fish and chips decent! So now we’re back to the place I’m reviewing here, known to you lot as The Golden Cod; this place is probably the best in Doncaster but seeing as I’ve given up experimenting and trying all the different so-called fish and chip shops, then I might be wrong. However, of the couple of dozen that me and my friends have tried over 15 years or so that we’ve been here, this place is the best that we’ve experienced and therefore it gets our recommendation above the rest of the turgid bunch who are pretending to know how to make proper fish and chips but secretly haven’t got a clue. And if any of you think I’m not telling the truth, go to anyone who looks like a traditional fish and chip shop in Leeds Bradford Halifax and surrounding towns, try a portion of fish and chips and taste the difference that you get from making the ingredients yourself and not relying on factor output to ply your trade! There’s a reason that these people are making a living selling just one kind of food, and it’s because they do that job very well indeed. My advice to places around Doncaster who say they do fish and chips, as well as a myriad of other options, is that you’re getting away with it because you’re covering all the bases but you’ll never win any prizes for the quality of your nosh.

Always great food and everyone is so friendly.

First time back in almost 17yrs and they're just as good as they were then. I'm quite picky about fish and chips, they were brill.(just clarify curry and not gravy, if you phone your order in).

I wouldn't recommend this fish and chip shop to anyone. The customer service is disgusting. I placed order at 17.46 and it turned it at 19.23. When enquired to find out where it was they where rude and hung up.

No.1 for me friendly service will deliver no wonder they are always being voted as one of the best in Doncaster year in year out.

Super food and excellent staff thank you

I call here at least once a week on my way home from work, and I have always enjoyed good food from here, the staff are always friendly and helpful.

Good to find a great chippy portion are very generous and very reasonably priced. Staff very cheerful and tentative. 10/10 👍🏻

Good quality, large portions but so greasy as to be almost uneatable

Covid measures in place, portion size good, price decent and food excellent.

Food quality has gone down hill over the past few months. Very pricey for the standard of food.

Usually really nice food and reasonably priced. I would recommend.

I would highly recommend.. Amazing food, best tasting chippy around.. At great prices you get a variety of choices and portions are very filling.. We will definitely be going back 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 stars from us 👍

I dont often leave reviews, I have eaten here on a few occasions and never had a problem, however after today I wont be returning, the chips were soggy and greasy with a terrible funny taste ,fish the same too and dry inside, I managed 4 chips,and my children said the same....all went in the bin.

really good food and cheap. food portions were good too worth the money but they only had 3 chairs outside and there were 4 of us. I had to sit on the floor because my friend wasnt a gentleman and didnt give me a seat so that was sad but I dont blame golden cod I guess my friend is just toxic lol. but the gravel outside is quite comfy and clean wouldnt eat chips off of it but it was good. well done.

Fantastic Chips lovely staff thank you x

First time coming here, and got to say I didn’t enjoy. The price of a child’s meal cost £6 which in my opinion is very overpriced. I don’t think I would have been as upset if it was actually nice. It was so greasy, and tastes funny as my son said and he didn’t eat it. Complete waste of money! Definitely won’t be coming back.

Great chippy, excellent service..

Good quality ingredients x cooked perfectly

Superb lil chippy, staff friendly and approachable. Food always beautifully cooked. They haven't won chippy of the year 3 times Inna row for nothing. Everyone always has a smile on their chops and the choice and variety is just enough without feeling overwhelmed. 10/10 guys

Just ordered fish and chips and it was here within ten minutes what a great service, the food was cooked perfectly too .....excellent !

Really good food, and you get loads of chips 😁

Poor chips, sfc was even worse and the curry had powder not mixed in. Disappointed because they are normally good.

Had a portion of chips at a cost of£2-10 absolutely shocking all bits I don't think I had one full chip

Really nice fish shop and friendly service

Gorgeous as always food is always fresh and people on the phone are lovely high recommend 😁

Love the lunchtime donner special, just a shame I don't live closer, and since moving delivery area, probably not going to visit again...unless....road trip! Definitely worth it!

Lovely food and I love the fish it is really good quality and go there every week

Very nice food fish & chips ,,girls are friendly 💖

Very welcoming brilliant fish and chips

Great food and the fish is huge

Chilli sauce is the best by far, makes any wrap complete 😂🌶️

A fantastic chippy, prices are good and portions are big. Very pleasant and helpful staff, definitely worth a visit

Friendly staff Excellent food and good choice They deliver four nights a week What more can you ask for

Lovely people and service, great fish and chips.

Without doubt the best chippy in Doncaster, the cod is a good size and chips are cooked well.

Nice food, dont bother ordering online you end up driving miles to pick up and the order isn't even done even tho online it tells you its being prepared third person to turn up and no order, mr Bob owner get your finger out if your not bothered about the online order system remove it because people are going out of there way to turn up and no order and it's the poor staff that are there apologising and embarrassed because the order is supposed to come through from your mobile phone!!..poor ordering system just poor.

Always have a large Haddock,chips and peas,all best quality well worth the extra few pence!!

Perfect very polite and friendly and great meals and good value

Chips were poor, overcooked, sharp and brittle, if I didn't have curry sauce on them they would have been inedible. Asked for one particular and got asked if I wanted another as the one I chose wasn't ready. Forgot to provide all items. Had signs up that they were 'Chip Shop of the Year 2017'. Not on todays showing.

Great fish n chips staff friendly n help full when u car breaks down much appreciated

The quality of the fish & chips has not suffered as a result of offering the more exotic and recent products such as Doner Kebabs and Wraps.

Garbage.... chips were old and not fully cooked price was average on the upside staff were polite

Spot on best fish n chips by miles
