York Road Golden Cod

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 👍

Just really enjoyed our fish and chips, they were great

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

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.

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.
