Best fish and chips in billericay

Been coming here for years . Last takeaway the fish was. Definitely thinner but tasted fine. Went tonight and the medium cod was tiny and about a cm thick. So I asked for a steak and kidney pie instead but they had none so got beef and onion. My partners saveloy was tough and chewy also. Shame as used to be so good but prices shot up and size and quality gone dow.

Nice fish, chicken and chip's. Portion size, generous!

First time their , tasty chip food ,, reasonaly priced ,,friedly service , defo recomend ,👍

What have they done! This was once the best fish shop in Billericay and the quality of the fish is still the same,however I believe they have changed their cooking oil and now the chips are so dry and the batter not so good. Please bring back the original oil!

Two senior cod and chips last night, fish was dry, no flavour at all, Ok, it was cheaper than a regular portion £7.30 each, but tasteless

Always great in there wonderful team

Great food,great service ,great attitude

Freshly cooked. Not greasy, crispy batter, well cooked fish.

It has brilliant food and good service.

Superb food and helpful staff Worth the wait in the queue

It has brilliant food and good service

Fish was lovely. Not a fan of the chips

Haven’t been to this chip shop for years Ribs were undercooked and then smothered in a cheap vinegary bbq sauce, southern fried chicken one drumstick and 2 pieces of what i can only describe as chicken carcass it wasn’t a breast or a thigh or a leg just the boney back piece of the chicken which I would normally throw away covered in southern fried batter. Chips were nice. Won’t be going back 🤷‍♀️

Excellent fish & chips, the best i have tasted. Nice staff too.

Great cod bites ...big portions Realy nice

Had Chips just been cooked so ate them in the car!!..... EXCELLENT Chips!!

Best Chips in the Area. Very helpful Staff.

Greatest fish and chips in Billericay.

The Codfather is a chip shop that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying meal. The chips are amazing, and the saveloys are cooked to perfection. I would also highly recommend the curry sauce, which is the perfect accompaniment to the fish and chips. The chips are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and they are perfectly seasoned. The saveloys are also cooked to perfection, and they have a delicious, slightly chewy texture. The curry sauce is rich and flavorful, and it pairs perfectly with the fish and chips. The Codfather is a great place to go for a delicious and satisfying meal. The food is excellent, and the service is friendly and efficient. I would highly recommend The Codfather to anyone looking for a great chip shop.

Very nice food. Reasonably priced and lovely staff

This was my first experience at the Codfather and I hope it won't be the last!..Very tasty fish and chips well worth the wait.

Grab your money and out the door you go...home to serve your family with an oily mess...never to return..

Great fish n chip shop always enjoy it from here and great friendly staff

Best fish and chips in the area

Drive there about 5 miles and back,if you want a good fish & chips,worth the journey !

Exceptional food, extremely clean and very friendly staff!!

Food was quite pricey and nothing to write home about - good service. Surprised they could not do a Hawaiian burger, so had to pop to Tesco - buy my own pineapple and finish construction myself!

Great fish and chips, best haddock ever. A little expensive but worth it

different patatoes being used so not that nice. Place could do with a lick of paint. loads of flys in there tonight contaminating everything. Not a blue light in site to keep them out. Disgusting

Great portions and best chips in the area

I have been to this shop many time and the the food has always been very good with generous portions.

You wont be able to beat this fish and chip shop. Their food is constantly excellent with good sized portions. I highly recommend to all! Not sure if this is a one off, but they were recently closed Tuesday and Wednesday when website states only closed on Sun & Mon.

Had the best fish and chips ever absolutely excellent will be returning soon

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

Fish and chips are alway freshly cooked with generous portions.Service is very good.

Clean COVID-19 safe Fish haddock and plaice cooked beautifully and very tasty

Always top food and service thank you.

Superb fish and chips by far the best in billericay better than fish and chick

I live in London so I always stop off here after a day out at Southend. It is THE BEST fish & chips for miles. The owner is an original London chippie owner and believe me he knows his stuff. They get it right all the time.

Just had one of the best fish and chips in a long time. Cooking in groundnut oil makes all the difference. Both Fish cooked to perfection and chips were lovely and crispy and service was 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.

So sorry for this review, but can only go by what I got at the time. Unfortunately my chips was saggy and re-cooked, my battered sausage was chewy n soggy, saverloy was blaned. I also ordered for other people, they also was not happy with there items I got them. So I guess we won't go there again.

Quality fish and chips, excellent prices

First time I've been here in years still great food the prices have gone up a little

Great place, quick service, very tasty

Lovely bit of fish and chips ,nice chicken burgers ,best chip shop in the area in my opinion

Great place great fish& chips the shiff are great

Best fish and chips for miles friendly staff

Fish full of bones and to oily not very nice

Great fish and chips, always pipping hot, good size portions, and reasonably price, and as they say you get what you pay for. In one word PERFECT

Really great customer service, very friendly environment. Food is delicious, clean and safe, whatever you buy its a great buy. 😋 Love this place

Very nice cod and chips, tasty saveloys, always fresh, would recommend it to the world.

Great taste and awesome portion sizes. Had to queue on a Friday (obviously) but well worth the wait!

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

Super fish and chips. Always pleasant and chips to die for

It wasn't a great experience of a traditional Fish and chips. Firstly, fish was too oily, and tasted like it was cooked long before my arrival. Chips had exactly the same problem - oil. So guys, please change it once in a while it really helps.

Best fish and chips in Billericay

It was nice. Lovely ships with salt & vinegar. Yummy 😋 😋 😋

Food is always very nice here. Very busy but quick to serve.

Lovely fresh fish and the batter is so light and crispy. Best fish and chips in town in my opinion.

£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.

Having tried all the local Chip Shops in Billericay.. this is by far the best. The quality is outstanding along with the service and friendly staff and owner. I would give it 10 stars if i could.

Came in with special dietary requirements and couldn’t have been more informative and helpful, went out of their way to ensure what I needed was made in the most accommodating way possible, even being insistent it wasn’t an issue. Would 100% use again, great food and great staff!

Freshly fried fish, chips are standard, super friendly local service, prices okay.

Grate fish and chip shop only diopinting thing twice I went there and once had no curry sauce left and other no ribs left bit genuinely think that's because it's so busy and the food is amazing

Excellent fish and chips worth the wait

Amazing food. Best fish shop, travel from upminster just to get it.

Good chippie, food always good.

Best chippy around Billericay by a mile. You may have a wait at busy times as it gets very busy and queues out the door at times. Worth the wait though.

Excellent fish and chips, great service, will be my regular.

Best fish and chips in Billericay always cooked to perfection.

Solid fish and chip shop. Very much recommended.

Really crispy batter and good portions. Scampi nothing special but obvs that's just bought in.

The food is good (I tried fish and chips, some pie and English breakfast) and the waiters and waitressed are very very kind and make you feel welcome. Prices are low, so I recommend eating here!

Dinner for two; one cod, one haddock, one large chips, two saveloy, mushy peas and a gherkin. Just under £20. A few chips left! Sated.

This fish and chip shop is absolutely excellent. The fish is fresh and the batter is crispy without being saturated with grease - obviously the oil is changed very frequently. The portion sizes are quite large (not a criticism) and, which is always a good sign, the queues are long, but quickly served. One of the best fish and chip ships I have ever visited.

Excellent food nice friendly staff

Usual chip shop fare but taste better than most

not the best in Billericay by a long way!!!!!
