The Cod’s Scallops Reviews Summary

Quality of Food

Pros:

• "The fish is perfectly battered, the fish is thick and flakey and the chips are divine!"
• "Had scallops and oysters. Spot on! Especially the scallops. Not overcooked at all like a lot of places."
• "The fish is crispy on the outside with fresh and juicy flesh on the inside."
• "Fish was so fresh and tender. Chips were buttery, flavoursome, crispy."

Cons:

• "Fish was okay.. nothing to shout about."
• "The fish was very overcooked and dry, the chips very bland and non-descript."
• "The food was poor and that is being kind. The chips were like rubber, and so many just little hard bits."
• "The fish had too much batter on it."
• "The fish was bland with no flavour and rubbery."

Service and Staff

Pros:

• "Honestly, the staff are lovely, the decor is lovely and rather quirky and cool!"
• "Staff serving were very friendly and attentive, checking back that everything was OK after receiving the food."
• "The service was great, quick and friendly."
• "Staff were universally friendly, attentive and service was quick."

Cons:

• "Staff seemed to be rather ignorant and flat."
• "The manager was able to sort us a discount but I wouldn't be going there again."
• "The young man who served me called me Mate, not very professional."
• "No zero rating so begrudgingly you earn one star… brilliant 👎"
• "Staff at the till, when I mentioned how poor the food had been, weren’t interested at all."

Price and Value

Pros:

• "The price is perfect for what you’re ordering."
• "Good value for money. Staff extremely well informed about dietary requirements."

Cons:

• "It is *very expensive* for the portion sizes."
• "A standard battered sausage, chips and gravy cost nearly £10, which is bordering on a rip off!"
• "Considering that this was over £20 for this meal I found extortionate."
• "Absolutely vile! Like physically how can someone serve these and not see they are just not fresh or upto standards."
• "Ridiculously expensive for what it is. Where I come from you would get 2 fish in a fish order, and also the fish was £8.90 and not a supper, just one lonely fish."

Ambiance and Decor

Pros:

• "The restaurant is nice and light and really clean and tidy, quality sea themed decor throughout but not cheesy, I like it."
• "As you walked in, you almost get transported to a different world, to be precise a very quintessential British seaside cafe/restaurant style with feel good vibes."

Cons:

• "The restaurant was nice, good decor but the toilets need checking as when I used the toilet there was a dirty nappy left on top of one if the bins and the packets hanging out of the sanitary bin."
