About Cod On The Rocks

The menu centres on battered cod and chips, with a parmo and pizza for anyone after something different. Payment works without a card: the shop takes no card payments, so customers scan a printed QR code to pay at the counter. It opens Monday to Saturday during the day and is closed on Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
Fish and chips is the draw, with reviewers repeatedly praising cod cooked to order and batter one calls the best they have tasted in years. Chips are described as cooked perfectly, and portions are large enough that one reviewer says the big cod could easily be shared. Close behind are a stunning battered fishcake, a parmo, a pizza and a mixed wrap, and a couple of reviewers note the extensive menu gives groups something for everyone. Reasonable prices and friendly staff come up often, and some say it is their first meal whenever they visit the Crimdon beach area. The main complaint comes from one reviewer who found the food very greasy, with grease from the batter soaking into the chips and most of the meal left uneaten, and who also found staff not very friendly. Another saw soggy batter once but called it a one off. Seating is two small outdoor tables, and one reviewer says most people take away and eat in the car.

“Absolutely GREAT fish and chips, the fish was cooked to order and was delicious, best batter I've tasted in years 👍🏻. Only ordered the big cod if you have a BIG appetite... you could easily share one otherwise. They have an extensive menue , so if there is a group of you and some want different... don't worry you'll all find something. 👍🏻👏👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
