Cod Father in Gateshead

We have known each other many years, but this is the first time you've come to me for counsel or for help. I can't remember the last time you invited me to your house for a cup of coffee, even though my wife is godmother to your only child. But let's be frank here. You never wanted my friendship.

Great tasting food and good value for money. They have a few meal deals too. Good portions, the picture shows half a bag of chips and battered sausage.

The fish was ok, the fries were terrible

My pal lea said best chippy in birtley and she is right 😍

This is the second time at this fish shop it’s the best in Chester Le street chips absolutely fantastic the Fisk was lovely as was the batter

Greasy chips, fat needs changing, won’t use again.

A very dated chip shop from the 80s, but that's what I like about the place, it hasn't been strelised with in an inch of it's life.and the chips? PERFECT

First time in there for years. Lovely.

Fantastic chippy ,Fantastic food and a friendly service 👌

Great fish n chips. Fish cooked from fresh

Probably one of the best chippy's in Birtley. Family run, friendly service

Great food ,massive portions great service with friendly family always happy to see you in there wouldn t go anywhere else best fishie around would recommend them to anyone.

Worst cold and chips I have had in a long time will not go back.

Everyone has their own favourite fish and chip shop but you'd be hard pushed to find a better one than the Cod Father

Best chips for miles around friendly helpful staff..and they know just about everyone on the estate sometimes you don't even need to say what you'd like they know straight away

The cod bites fab. Travel from Chester le street. Use all the time.

Best fish and chips for miles!!

Good quality fish and chips at a reasonable price.

Some of the worst chips that I've had and the batter was cooked in dirty oil that should of been changed days ago

Friendly staff and good local food. Couldn't ask for more really!

What a nice place to get your dinner from a friendly family run business

Good service and traditional chips.number one for me.

Lovely fish and chips can't go wrong

Best fish and chips around. Travel a few mile passing local fish and chip shops to come here

My local chip shop, and very good

Go there every Friday and normally Saturdays I'm a local and these are the best chips I've ever tasted in my life especially soaked in vinegar.

Good quality fish chips and really nice staff

Reasonable prices for good quality food and staff are friendly

We enjoy everything they have. Friendly staff..and a credit to the area

Excellent value for money, lovely fish and chips.

Totally terrible... The batter is vile and the oil must have not been changed in ages. Avoid but if you must go get a meal deal with curry or gravy to hide the appalling taste.

Was quite disappointed, it didn't live up to it's quirky name. Haddock advertised on the board but none actually available so I had cod and chips. The portion of chips was huge, far too many for one person, and had a few green and black chips in there. The cod was quite soft and squishy, no individual flakes of fish, just quite a flat mush of it. Everything seemed a bit tastless. No Minchellas
