Reviews - Mr Cod (old Town)

Kebab, Fast Food, Delivery Services

Reviews summary

Mr. Cod has become a staple for many, noted for its enjoyable fish and chips and generous portions. However, recent experiences reveal a troubling inconsistency. While some diners rave about the exceptional quality of the chips and friendly service, others report disastrous orders: cold meals, incorrect items, and frustrating delays. Patrons highlight the restaurant's convenient location and unique offerings like masala fish, yet complaints about subpar food and poor customer service are increasingly common. As Mr. Cod garners both loyal customers and disgruntled diners, its reputation hangs in the balance, leaving many to ponder their next meal choice.

Ordered battered sausage and chips, took an hour to arrive, sausages had barely any batter and look grey, food was stone cold, delivery driver just waltzed up to the door on his phone dropped the cold wet bag in my hand and walked off. Not getting mr.cod again.

Nothing special but was ok

Really nice food, big portions and a lot of options on the menu the only problem is that it takes along time for your food to be derived but apart from that would definitely recommend

We were in Swindon for the day and came here for an early evening meal. We possibly looked a bit tired and overheated as the temperature was an unBritish-like thirty two degrees! We were the only customers but the server didn't look pleased to see...

We stopped here after a night out for a little snack before going home, and how utterly disappointing it was.I ordered a chicken burger, a double in fact as I was hungry, and it was one of the worst burgers I've ever had in my life, just dry and horrible, I couldn't even eat it and threw it away.My first and very last visit, I would never eat here again.

Been coming here for over 10 years. They always provide good portions and at a decent price and as far as I know the only place which does masala fish and chip ,my favourite. Only complaint difficult to find parking on Victoria Rd, otherwise all positive, definitely worth visiting.

Great fish and chips. Not at all greasy, and fish really very good quality. Good device too even though I made a large order for all the family

Awful fish and chips. Told 40-45 mins delivery. Arrived in less than 10 mins. Fish soggy and chips rock hard. This food had definatly been cooked for sometime, and fish wasnt even cooked. Offered 20% off next time. What an insult. Said I wasnt going to make a next time. Threw the food away!!!

Two hours later, the food finally arrived with an angry delivery driver who arrived an hour after his supposed departure. Concerned about the temperature of the food, I discovered that everything was cold. When I expressed my dissatisfaction, the delivery driver became aggressive, shouting profanities and throwing the money on the floor. He threatened to come back and continued to swear at my partner, who intervened to calm the situation as our children were upset and frightened. I considered contacting the police but decided against it. When I called Mr. Cod to report the incident, I was met with indifference from the same rude lady who refused to escalate the call to a manager. I am troubled by the thought that this delivery driver may mistreat other customers in the future. This was the worst delivery experience I have ever had, despite having ordered from this place for years. I will not return until management addresses this issue. It's a disappointing way to start the holiday season.

I ordered a kebab, chips, battered sausage, and two chicken pieces at this restaurant. The chips and battered sausage looked overly cooked before even trying them, and the chicken seemed to have been fried too much or reheated in the fryer. The quality of the food was so poor that I did not even try the kebab. I ended up throwing everything away and was left £25 out of pocket. I will never order from this restaurant again due to the very poor quality of the food.

Mr. Cod is overpriced and they use excessive salt in their food. Additionally, they do not provide any sauce with their meals. We spent over £50 and were very disappointed.

I had the most delicious fish and chips with curry sauce at this restaurant in Swindon during my trip. I highly recommend it.

"The restaurant offers a fantastic variety of delicious food. The chicken burger is particularly tasty, as well as the battered sausages and chunky chips. Definitely worth a visit!"
