Description

The Codfather has received mixed reviews from customers. Some were disappointed with the lack of COVID-19 safety measures, while others praised the quality of the food and the excellent service. Groundnut oil used in cooking made the fish and chips stand out, with one customer even calling it the best they've ever had. The staff were accommodating of dietary requirements and provided a welcoming atmosphere. Overall, the restaurant seems to have a loyal customer base due to its outstanding quality, friendly staff, and reasonable prices.

Haven’t been to this chip shop for years Ribs were undercooked and then smothered in a cheap vinegary bbq sauce, southern fried chicken one drumstick and 2 pieces of what i can only describe as chicken carcass it wasn’t a breast or a thigh or a leg just the boney back piece of the chicken which I would normally throw away covered in southern fried batter. Chips were nice. Won’t be going back ‍ Meal type: Dinner
