The cod was one of the best I've ever had. The chips were not quite as good but still very tasty. Very impressed.

On the recommendation of someone who had had lovely chips there we thought on Friday evening we'd not go to our usual place and try them. Never again. The large chips were a decent portion size but they were limp and they must have requested potatoes only with eyes in them. The cod fish flakes were almost mushy, not much taste and the batter looked like something you would make at home, badly. It was thick and floury. The batter was very greasy. The regular size fish was a good portion but the small was laughable. My daughter did enjoy her chicken chuncks despite them being in the same yucky batter. I'm not the sort of person who leaves negative feedback but this is a warning to others and hopefully the chip shop will read this too. We had 2 large chips, 2 regular cod, 2 small cod and a portion of chicken chunks. It was just shy of £42. It was worth about half of that. We'll be back at Holmbush next time.

Quite expensive for a chippy, we read good reviews and were looking forward to fish and chips, I figured it was worth paying a bit over the average if it's good, unfortunately the fish was a bit on the greasy side and the batter was pale, limp and flat, not the crispy, brown bubbly batter i hoped for, it was as if it had been put in cold oil. The chips were about 7.5/10 so better than average and the battered sausage was very nice (much better batter than the fish). On the plus side the portions were decent, which somewhat explains the price. Overall I wouldn't go back, the fish has to be the star of the show for me and it was a real let down. The staff were nice.

Shameful that it is possible in the 21st century for a fish and chip shop to still cook everything in Beef dripping meaning no options at all for vegetarians. I'd have given no stars if possible. It's blatant discrimination and needs to change.

Admittedly there can be quite a wait at times which is a little inconvenient but at least you know its being cooked fresh! However....its gone from being open 5/6 evenings a week to only being open on Friday and Saturday's. I appreciate it was probably originally because of coronavirus, but businesses are all back up and running. I know of a few people that have had to go elsewhere in the week for fish and chips,as after all,we don't all want it just on a friday or saturday

Sorry, but definitely not the best fish and chips I've tasted and the curry sauce was awful Had them bought for me and apologies for upsetting the owner but my review is accurate. Too much water in the curry sauce and as I said, not the best fish n chips I've tasted. I do not come into your chippy. This review process is there for a reason. If you can't handle criticism well, you're in the wrong business!

We are regular customers of Biscovey fish bar and today’s meal was, as usual, cooked to perfection. I love the cod, beautiful white flakes of fish in a light, crispy batter. Our small grandchildren loves the sausage and chips which they devoured. Hubby likes the cod but today had the battered sausage which he enjoyed too.Generous portions are the norm - one large portion of chips is more than enough for two adults and two hungry boys - the best chippy in St Austell.

I have tried most fish and chip shops around St Austell but this is my favourite. You have to wait as they cook to order but the result is worth the wait. The staff are friendly and cheerful and the price is average. The only downside is limited opening times but not surprising as there may not be enough trade out of season. Coming from a city where the fish and chip shops stay open til after pubs shut I have been spoilt.

We spend a lot of time in our caravan at Doubletrees Camp Site, which is a short distance from Biscovey Fish Bar. However, despite this convenient situation, we have not been regulars, as in the past we hadn’t enjoyed their fish and chips.In fact due to being disappointed on so many occasions we had been using another fish and chip shop for some time.But after numerous recommendations from our hosts and friends at Doubletrees Camp Site, we decided to try Biscovey Fish Bar again and we are so pleased we did!We were delighted to find that the fish and chips were ,as everyone had said, “Delicious!”I am writing this review after several visits there and we cannot fault the food, presentation or service in any way. It is cooked to order so everything is fresh,hot and extremely tasty. The batter is light and crispy, and the chips are just the way we like them too! We love the individual trays ( a great idea ) and the curry sauce is lovely.We would like to compliment the ‘new’ owner on his high standards. We will certainly be returning for more —and soon!

Second review I've done and just wanted to report the quality is still as good. Fish is lovely, freshly cooked and melt-in-the-mouth with light crisp batter and tender white flesh. Love the cod roe and the chips are that perfect balance of soft centre, slightly crisp exterior and wonderful flavour from the beef dripping.The mushy peas are...well, mushy and tasty and a great complement to the rest of the meal. I had a small tub of curry sauce and I just love that chip-shop curry flavour. This time it seemed slightly 'hotter' than normal, which I prefer, but still very modest 'heat.' Superb.There were more customers than the last few times and I sincerely hope that means the message is getting out to the local community, that here is a first class fish and chip shop that deserves to do well. It compares well with many others locally.

What a discovery , having been there before the new owner took over we were rather dubious as to how good it was going to be . Four of us really enjoyed our take away , the fish was delicious , and not swamped in so much batter that it was a job to find the main ingredient , I am renowned for removing the batter and just eating the fish , not this time perfect amount of batter with the fish . Portions are very generous and served in cardboard boxes no sweating in the usual polystyrene also recyclable . Hooray for a delicious local takeaway we will definately be returning

The Codfatherlocation-icon2 Dutson RoadFast food

for a few years now we have been traveling up to Okehampton for fish n chips... (we call into one of the supermarkets on the same trip) as Fish and chips in Launceston don't compare to our regular chippy up there.. .... but today we tried the "Codfather" for the first time.... we were not disappointed . The staff were very pleasant even though they were busy ...We can "hand on heart" say that after a lengthy wait they are by far the best fish n chips in the area... lovely batter and white cod... really enjoyed them! However, The location is very poor and if you drive a car that is worth more than £75.50 you could be concerned with the parking arrangements ... so, its the shopping and chippy run up the A30 for us despite the Codfathers excellent fish and chips ...

This shop has been a satnav feature for years. My law is - if we cross into Cornwall, no matter where we're going, we have to visit Ice & Bites in Perranporth. Really friendly staff, amazing pasties (try the 'proper job') and mind-blowing ice-cream. They serve an 'ansum' job - 3-scoop cone filled with vanilla whippy ice-cream, two massive scoops of vanilla ice-cream topped with a scoop of clotted cream. This ought to become a Cornish trade mark! Love it.
