Was Matthew Cunningham at Codswallop a mag?
Recently moved back into the area after 15 years away. Really enjoy this chippy. The curry sauce is the best one I have tasted around the area. Also was very impressed with how clean the place is. Only moved back a few weeks and already been here twice. View all feedback.

What Sean Wilson dislikes about Codswallop:
The staff were unfriendly, the equipment was in disrepair, and the food was disappointing. The batter was the worst I’ve ever tasted; it was undercooked and soggy. The chips were nearly translucent, and the only positive aspect was the peas, which were obviously from a can. The place seemed empty during my visit, and I won't be returning.

I recently moved back to the area after 15 years, and I must say, I really enjoy this fish and chip shop. The curry sauce is the best I've tasted in the area. I was also very impressed by how clean the place is. I've only been here a few weeks and have already visited twice!
