Quick info
About Rothwells Fish & Chips
A skyline roof brings daylight into the dining room at Rothwells Fish & Chips, a fish and chip restaurant on Market Place in Doncaster. Ordering happens at the counter and till, with tables alongside for eating in, and there are no reservations. Fish and chips comes with mushy peas and a pot of tea or coffee, with cod, haddock and plaice as the fish choices, and a cone of chips sold on its own. The tables are not especially wide, so more than two people to a table sits tight. It opens Monday to Saturday during the daytime and closes on Sundays, and it can get busy, with waiting times for a table. Offers run on the non-market days of Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Customer Review Summary
Fish, chips and mushy peas anchor nearly every account, with several calling it the best chippy around Doncaster and one describing the haddock as cooked perfectly. Close behind is the freshness reviewers stress, piping hot food in good portions, and one suggests the plaice and chips as a change from cod or haddock. A cone of chips also draws mentions, remembered by one as a childhood treat after being dragged into town. Others describe the room as clean and spacious, with a bright skyline roof letting in plenty of light, and the counter staff as friendly and happy to chat. The recurring complaint is order accuracy: two reviewers say their orders were messed up on repeated visits, calling the till chaotic and the staff unorganised, with one saying the ladies at the till seemed unable to communicate with each other. Another docks a star for narrow tables that feel cramped with more than two people, and one notes that waits for a table can vary.

“Lovely fish and chips. To me this is the best chippy around Doncaster. 3 of us sat down and ate inside their establishment. We enjoyed fish chips mushy peas cup of tea/coffee for £9 each which is not a bad price. It seemed nice and clean. A lovely bright skyline roof let in loads of lighting. Friendly staff. Would recommend this place.”

“Excellent fresh cooked food, the staff are always friendly and helpful. We've knocked off a star sadly because of the size of the tables, they're not very wide and if you've got more than two people sat at a table it can be very cramped.”

“On every visit, the staff somehow manage to mess up my order. Chaotic is an understatement, the lovely ladies at the till seem unable to communicate with each other. On this particular occasion, I came in wanting a regular cod and regular …”
