What jimmysmith55 doesn't like about Codfathers Portland:
Barely warm. A mix of very cold and hard chips with some fresher ones. The cod batter was undercooked and had almost melted to the chips. Asked for salt and vinegar as I had no vinegar in and none was put on. I only rarely get a takeaway and this was a waste of £22. View all feedback. What Pioneer51361714786 likes about Codfathers Portland:
It was the only Fish&Chip shop open on the Island on a Friday, good selection of food value for money the best fish and chips I've ever eaten, the proprietor Luke was very friendly I took a seat at the table outside and was told when my food was ready. View all feedback.

In a recent exploration of a local fish and chip shop, experiences varied widely. While some diners praised the outstanding quality and generous portions of freshly prepared dishes, describing it as the best fish and chips they’ve ever had, others lamented overpriced meals served in disappointingly small portions. Issues with service, including a rigid payment policy and inattentive staff, further marred the experience for some customers. Despite these setbacks, the restaurant's delicious offerings and warm atmosphere have garnered a loyal following, with many eager to return for another round, highlighting its potential amid some frustrations regarding service and value.
