Quick info
About The Plaice To Be
On Bridgegate in Rotherham, a short walk from the interchange and the minster, The Plaice To Be serves fish and chips alongside doner and lamb kebabs. The mixed doner comes with chips, salad and sauces, and is halal. Orders are taken on a walk-in basis, with table seating available inside for those who want to eat on the premises. Food is prepared to order, so a wait at busy times is common. The owner and staff have remained part of the operation across repeat visits from customers.

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out the doner, with one describing a mixed doner with chips as flavourful and another praising it alongside fish and chips. Lamb kebabs are said to beat those from a kebab chain, and the chips are called old school. Reviewers repeatedly mention generous portions, food cooked fresh to order and a very clean dining room, and one notes the food is halal. A burger and chips order is also described as delicious. The kebab does not win everyone over. One reviewer found it thin, dry and soggy at once, with runny sauce and rock hard, overcooked chips. Another felt the tea was too expensive for the setting, was asked to move tables and had to press for service. A couple of reviewers mention waiting for the food. Staff are consistently described as kind and friendly. One out of town visitor ate the chips at the bus stop, then came back to meet the owner's wife.

“This was honestly one of the worst kebabs I’ve ever had. The meat was ridiculously thin, dry, and somehow also soggy at the same time, I didn’t even think that was possible. It had no proper texture or flavour, just greasy and unpleasant. The sauce was basically like water, completely runny and added nothing except making everything messier. The chips were just as bad, rock hard and clearly overcooked, like they’d been sitting around for ages. Overall, really disappointing and a total waste of money. Definitely won’t be ordering from here again.”

“So while working away I had a craving for fish and chips and funnily enough as I got off the bus I ended up in front of this shop. I intended to eat it at the hotel but I had a taste at the bus stop and munched the lot there and then lol. This is original old school tasting chips for a very fair price! Not only that the owner is a gem so for this reason I went back today and met his wife… they together make me want to keep returning with thier friendly and playful attitudes and fact in fact the food is quality. Thank you for making an out of town er feel at home”
