Mr Cod Ltd

This is my local takeaway, love the chips, just going past the takeaway you can't not stop and get food!! I tend to go for the masala fish meal, chicken dipper meal, chicken burger meal or the 2 mini chicken burger meal. In the past the takeaway would provide salad with the meal but thats stopped. Also the complimentary drink etc especially after spending 60+ and being a regular. The previous owner would do this. I would of given 3 stars but as its my local takeaway and I know the food is good, portions hit and miss depending on who is serving but other than that food is great!!!

Mr Cod has been a go-to for me for years because of the generous portion sizes, (especially when you upgrade to a larger size), simple approach and good quality fish and chips. I recently went to another place in Reading which had won awards for its fish and chips, and had glowing reviews. It was rubbish - they tricked ne on portion sizes by just putting the same chips in a bigger box, the chips were worse than Mr Cod's, and they seemed to have a pretentious air about them. It's as if when you get good reviews and pretend to be much more important than you are, that is a good substitute for quality. I find it baffling if I'm honest. Mr Cod doesn't pretend to be anything other than a simple fish and chip shop and it does it very well. I won't be changing any time soon!
