The Codfather - Basildon

Absolutely Fabulous Food Freshly Cooked, Options of Boxed or Wrapped, I go with Wrapped Personally. Amazing staff. Cleanest Chippy AND Best Fish And Chips EVER EVERYTIME!!!!!!! THANK YOU

I recently enjoyed some of the best fish and chips I've had in a long time. The use of groundnut oil in the cooking process really made a difference. 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.

This is the first time I have been to the Codfather since restrictions have been lifted and I was disappointed to find that non of the staff either preparing food or serving had any face covering. 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.

Beautiful white fish, especially skate, which is not always readily available. Friendly staff and good value for money.

£3.50 for this? 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.
