The amount of oil in the fish batter turned my stomach, tried to soak it up with kitchen roll, fish fell apart, even my cat wouldn't eat it, thrown away, really disappointed

I have eaten at the restaurant before with no problems…this evening I ordered a takeaway but when I started to eat there was a bitter rancid taste …I could not eat it as it tasted awful…I think they need to change their oil…lost any future customer from me

Ordered all day breakfast to give myself a treat as I was feeling a bit low. Meal arrived on time and was still quite hot. Unfortunately the food was swimming in grease and I had to decant it onto kitchen roll in an attempt to rid of the oil. Realised later that I should have taken photo of the pool of oil in the package. The eggs were over cooked and crispy and the bacon was very tough. If the meal had been better then a nice grilled tomato would have been the icing on the cake. Very disappointing when I needed something to cheer myself up!

Placed an order online but got no response. Tried phoning but no answer. Checked their website which confirmed they were open so went to the shop. Board at the end of the path also showing them as open. However, shop is closed until Thursday for a family funeral. Whereas I am sorry to hear that, why was I able to place an order, why was the website not updated to show they were closed and perhaps an answerphone as well. I trust my money will be refunded.

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! 😁)

Cod Father in Trowbridge is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you know you're in for a treat. The portion sizes are astonishingly generous – so much so that even two people would struggle to finish one meal. It's not just about quantity, though; the taste is phenomenal. Every bite bursts with flavor, making each dish a culinary delight. But what truly sets Cod Father apart is the incredible team running the show. Special mention goes to the young chap who manages the front of house. His pleasant demeanor, helpful attitude, and utmost professionalism elevate the dining experience to another level. He ensures every guest feels welcome and well-cared for, adding a personal touch that’s rare to find. If you’re in Trowbridge and crave an unforgettable dining experience with enormous portions and a top-notch team, Cod Father is the place to be. Don’t miss out on this irresistible culinary adventure!

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.

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.

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

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.

We were staying in Chippenham and looking for a decent place to eat. We happened to see this pub and looked at the excellent reviews online and must say that the praise given here is very well deserved! The pub restaurant is spotlessly clean and the menu has something for everyone. The staff were attentive and there to ensure that we enjoyed our time. The food was tremendously good and the portion sizes are generous. There is a great selection of drinks on offer and the overall prices were reasonably good so there our experience was totally positive. if only every restaurant was like this! Thank you to all the staff for setting such great standards. An excellent little find so please be sure to book in advance.

Unfortunately unable to review accomodation,food or service as we were double booked. Apparently landlords wife responsible for this so she was summoned. Landlord then completely ignored us and didnt even offer us a seat let alone an apology, this was left to his wife. She didnt seem well and was apparently in hospital at the time of our booking. She went away, 20 mins later produced £140 to cover the cost at premier inn who had ample availability and she had phoned them. Premier Inn denied any phone calls from Helen. They had one room which went whilst we were trying to book it. Plenty of certificates of awards, shame they are so old and tatty like the pub. I hate being lied to but rudeness, lies and facing a night in the car... Dont book here, disgraceful performance. Tired and niaive, should have insisted they booked it in front of us!
