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
The mixed donner kebab draws the most praise, with reviewers repeatedly calling it flavourful, generous, and "soooo good," often paired with chips and salad. Close behind, the fish and chips are singled out as fairly priced and "original old school tasting," with several noting large portions and a clean dining room. Many describe the owner and staff as friendly and kind, happy to cook to individual preferences, and a few mention halal options. One reviewer, however, reports a very different kebab experience: thin, dry yet somehow soggy meat, a watery sauce, and chips described as "rock hard and clearly overcooked." Another diner enjoyed cheap burgers and chips but was surprised by the price charged for a cup of tea. Several mention waiting a while for food, with one reviewer saying it was "definitely worth it," while another recalls being asked to shift seats partway through their meal.

“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”
