Both the fish and chips were cooked perfectly - the fish was flavorful and tender, and the chips were crispy and delicious. The service was also excellent.

Whilst I understand that face covering is not mandatory it is a guidance requirement and I found that I was the only person in the shop with a face covering. It does not help others to consider wearing a face covering when the whole team deem it not necessary. Given the increasing infection rate I will not be using the Codfather until such time as infection rates are back under control as I cannot trust the attitude of this business not to be a spreader of the infection.

I looked about for a grill and thought maybe it's in the back. Asked for a cheeseburger anyway. The guy hesitated then said ok no problem, of course it was no problem you gave me a pre-cooked burger with microwaved cheese on the bun, reminded me of a garage version but even worse. Never again! Chips were slimey too. (see photo) binned the lot.
