The Codfather in Wiltshire

After a busy morning trawling through Trowbridge, I came upon this little place 🐟quite by accident but I'm glad I did as I was famished. It wasn't hard to decide what to have: plaice and chips, and it was delicious! The staff were all absolutely lovely, so friendly, helpful and polite. My experience with service went swimmingly. I recommend getting a bite here. (All fishing/fish puns in this review were fully intended! 😁)

Arrived in fab time & food was superb.

Really lovely food. And nothing is too much trouble even when they are busy. 11 out of ten. Cannot fault. It was just a little late today. But they were. Very busy. So just a blip would still highly recommend.

Order Was never delivered. First time ordering, won’t be using them again.

unfortunately recieved incorrect order but what we could eat was lovely

great chips,bit dissapointed with the burgers,very bland, definitely will order fish,chips ,as there good

Absolutely lovely . Nice and hot definitely order again. Thank you 😀

Turned up an hour early - hubby not even home from work! I was told it was my fault & no time had been entered until I pointed the time out on the receipt. Not even an apology. Chips were really greasy & been through the fryer a few times.

lovely hot food. highly recommended..

Delivery took too long nearly an hour

Service was good and the food first class

I had to contact you for updates as none was sent. I understand that you may be busy but if give me updates. please

Lovely chicken roast dinner thank u x

Bad! The cod and the chips was packed in a paper foil, disgusting, full of oil no flavor all mushed . How as a take away shop you have so low stabdards and not evan puting the food in a cardboard box or something . Im dissapointed . Probably is monday and youre not bothered to do it proper. Last time order.

ordered asap came 20 mins earlier than was told. food was spot on.

Great food and even better service would have to give it 5stars

Main item missing from my order. What we did have was nice, but this ruined it. Just annoying!!

Ordered on Just Eat and both portions of fish smell and taste really bad.

Was ok! The fish wasn't cooked properly from the inside and a weird smell was coming from it!

Great service, fast delivery :)

Today I went to codfather to try one of their roast dinners. I have heard good reviews about it locally. It lived up to its reputation. I had lamb. It was all delicious. I left nothing on the plate. The staff are very attentive and friendly. I would recommend trying their roast dinners. 100%

Wow just wow!! The roast dinner was excellent and very tasty. I would recommend it and will to everyone I speak to. Great staff and very attentive. Will definitely go back

absolutely too greasy couldn't eat anything wasted money

Very friendly place had the roast lamb and it was yummy delicious. Definitely recommend it

Great food and great service! Great prices for the quality of food which is always great. Would definitely recommend

We had a really yummy lunch here today. The owners/staff are lovely and we will definitely go again

Such a lovely friendly welcoming restaurant. Food was good home cooked food and at a very reasonable price. Will definitely be going back

Very enjoyable large cod and a large battered sausage. Food hot and very tasty The delivery gentleman was very kind. Thank you

First time here in Trowbridge, best fish and chips I think I've ever had! Got chatting to the lovely lady whilst she was serving up our 2 large and 2 medium fish and chips, I starting coughing quite bad, and bless her opened up a bottle of water and gave it to me! Thank you for saving me! But the food, great portions, not greasy, just simply the best fish and chips I've ever had! The large is massive! My husband couldn't eat all his chips! Will deffo be back for more, recommend 100%

Fish and chip ship with tables so you can eat in. We had the special of fish and chips, with a side, bread and butter and tea. It was very nice.

Yummy food, arrived steaming hot and was very tasty! :)

This evening I ordered a large cod and chips, sausage and chips and 2 drinks. The fish was a very big size for the price, and tasted great. The customer service was excellent and the young man who served me performed excellent customer service. 5-stars all around in my point of view.

Still not arrived and over an hour late and still waiting. Avoid if I was you all. Never ordering again

Great service. Friendly staff. Tasty food and lots of options. A very nice family run business at too a reasonable price

Food was nice and hot very tasty 👍👍👍

10/10 food best chip shop around here

small chips and medium chips were the same size. good tasting though

Arrived stone cold - soggy chips, stringy fish and horrible, undercooked batter. A really nasty meal which we simply could not enjoy - although my lady wife's burger was ok albeit cold. We feel absolutely cheated. Never, never again.

Food was cold and soggy by the time I got the food

Food was greasy and tasted like the oil needed changing

Went in for a cheeseburger and a small chips. The burger was standard takeaway fare, two frozen meat discs with no texture or flavour. The price on the menu board said £8, they charged me £10 because apparently the menu board is takeaway prices. I didn't see the dine-in prices listed anywhere, or even a mention that dine-in prices are higher. I hope that scam was worth losing a customer.

Solid 4 stars :-) Very good, tasty comfort food for a cold & overcast November afternoon, I was recommended the Codfather combo of Tea, Cod, Chips, bread n butter & icecream to finish. I needed & appreciated it. Good conversation with the enthusiastic lad in charge Thankyou Cod Father! 😊🌻

The food was nice and hot everything was good as usual 10/10

The food was great, the service was exceptional. Nicest guys in a chippy, couldn't do more for us.

Love it and we look like family real talk the best chippy in Trowbridge

Came here yesterday with two Japanese colleagues who had never tried British fish and chips. The staff were so accommodating, chatty and friendly and really made the experience a memorable one. The food was freshly cooked, piping hot and super tasty! The waiting staff also walked me to the closest cash point as I wasn't familiar with the area which was a nice added touch. 10/10 will go back if in the area again. I was also shocked to hear that they had lots of other dishes available too, including a roast dinner!!

1st time I've ordered from the codfather, I've got to say I'm sorry but I won't be ordering again. Very disappointed Fish and fries. The fries were lukewarm and like they were reheated, the fish batter was soggy and the fish was disgusting. Childrens chicken burger and chips The chicken burger was rock hard .and the chips tasted like they were reheated some were rock hard in the middle🙄 We couldn't eat any of it . The cats ate the fish and the rest had to be thrown away.

Food was spicy and was not informed

Thankyou for the drinks food was hot and delicious the driver was fantastic thankyou 😀

The service, food choice is excellent. The food itself is very tasty, hot and enjoyable.

A proper cafe with proper food. Every town in the UK should have somewhere as good as this. Huge well cooked portions in a spotless cafe served by the friendly owners.

Lovely meal, large portions mean large!! Nice and hot, delivery was really good, 30 minutes early!

Dined in for pensioners' lunch which was both good and excellent value.

Food was great- great portions & prices. We will 100% be ordering from here again!

First time ordered fish and chips from here. Wouldn’t recommend! The chips were covered in black tiny hard gritty bits and totally greasy , the oil needs replacing and the fish was dry and batter was thick solid and greasy and over cooked . So disappointed! Yuck! I’ll be sticking with jolly friars!

First time ordering from here, won't be the last. Food was clearly freshly cooked and was hot on arrival, batter crispy, fish tender, chips delicious and pea fritters like a dinner plate. Amazing, thank you.

Good chippy/cafe. Worth the short walk from the town centre. Very well priced. Friendly service with lots of regular customers.

For me best chippie around here!!

Usually have haddock and chips , which are delicious, this time went for something different I had chicken curry which was really yummy , my partner had chicken pie and chips which he also enjoyed. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent food and a lovely dessert!

I have marked this as a late delivery as i placed the order for home delivery at 2.50pm which i knew would not be a busy time for them, and it was a Monday. My order arrived at 3.51pm so can only assume they did not have an available delivery driver at an earlier time or were waiting for more than just one order to deliver on that journey. I thought this was very poor despite what the Just Eat predicted time stated which of course i only got to find out once I had paid! The food itself was Ok

Tasty food excellent delivery time too

Very good food and was given extra because they didn't think cod was a large. Would order again.

My cheese chip coat in oil. Where it didn't need to be. Won't be buying again

the fish and chips were delicious, unfortunately the fishcake had a big chunk taken out of it and they forgot the drink

Excellent food always is!!! Will defo b ordering again and again!!

I was working in Trowbridge yesterday and needed a quick bit to eat so I went for a medium portion of chips. I must say your chips are on a par with the best i have ever tasted, I don't know if it is the variety of potato or the oil you use but they were great, the cooking was perfect and the portion size was good. I will certainly be popping in again next time i am in town.

Our favourite fish and chip shop without a doubt, we won’t go anywhere else,owners are lovely and the meals are always huge, thanks cod father

taste of cheap oil not a fish, so fat...so bad

All the times that I have ordered from them they have always been earlier that was stated and the temperature of the food was boiling hot so was really great and the staff that delivered it are always polite and smiling

Was very nice but missed a portion of chips

Ordered Chips none received. No money back and no apology.

Excellent food. Will definitely use again

chips were cold sausages weren't right

Best chips in town, amazing food and lovely delivery! Very considerate keeping ice cream away from hot food! Thank you :)

Blooming Brilliant! Food was early, hot and delicious. Highly recommend.

Lovely food and definitely stuffs you and also great manners from the lady that delivered she was polite

Food nice and hot delivery driver was polite enjoyed are food 10/10

Very quick delivery, hot tasty food, decent size portions, but they forgot one of the portions of chips. However as the portion we did have was a decent size it fed two of us anyway :) will definitely use again!

Excellent hot food and large portions too. Thank you.

Not had cod father in a while thoroughly enjoyed it food was nice and hot 10/10

Went for fish and chips on Corination day, was not expecting much but hey what a great plate of fish and chips. Haddock was fresh thick crispy batter not greasy and huge. Chips were also not greasy a d not soggy. I would say 2 fish 1 chips would have fed the 3 of us, but the dog was happy with the remain fish. And the fella grinning the place was great guy, really friendly. If I have the misforutnue of being in Trowbridge again I will revisit the Cod Father

Great portion size. Chips weren't over salty. Good value for money. It would be nice if the menu had onion rings.

Absolutely really lovely plate of food ,really tasty freshly cooked .Had the special was totally worth going in.The staff were very friendly ,happy.Th young lady waitress was very nice .Definitely go again .

We don't have fish and chips very often but this was the best we have had in years, the chips were cooked fresh and not pre cooked and then recooked like alot of places do these days. Fish was fresh. Fair priced. Def the best in Trowbridge.

Very friendly service and yummy food. :)

Good food always nice pleasant family run business. GREAT staff and all ways helpful

First time customer as normally use another Fish & chip shop in Trowbridge. Read some reviews and my mother who’s just had an operation wanted to eat fish and chips and I didn’t want to drive out so we opted to use the delivery service and how were we disappointed. Traditionally English Cod is served as a fish shape or something that resembles a fillet. One of the two pieces of cod arrived looking like a square shape ( more like a sandwich than a fish shape ) The fish inside was nice enough but being a square there were no crispy bits you normally get on a proper fish shaped fillet which in our opinion is what gives the batter its taste. We also both upgraded to medium chips. The portion size is more like a small as the small carton was barley filled. The chips were nasty - soggy and no crispness to them at all , nor was there any taste of vinegar or salt to any of the food which was requested on ordering as I clearly ticked the box for both. Not sure if it was a bad day but If I had known the real experience a new customer would have here I’d have opted to stay loyal to chip shop we normally pick up from where the chips are like real fish shop chips.

Have to say what a great experience. Food was spot on, food piping hot and very tasty. Excellent value for money. Will definitely use again. Thanks guys.

Very friendly and excellent value for money

loved the food, great service, owners are sound, 5/5 deserved.

Nice fish and chips, be prepared to wait. Have been a few times, the owners are welcoming people. Although not well organised, staff started our order but then went off to do something else, chopping and changing. Needs to be smoother at the front. We called in our order one time but it hadn't been started when we arrived. Again if you don't mind waiting the food is good and the people are friendly.
