The Codfather in Telford and Wrekin

Chips were like mush and extremely sloppy, I ended up chucking it all, worth a shot i suppose! Unfortunately i won't be going there again.

Great chippy.. could be 5 star if potion control was better managed.. never know to order for 1 person or 3 ...

One of the best chip shops in Telford, always busy.

Best fish, chips & mushy peas I've had in ages. No hard chips and plenty of them. Price brilliant too.

The food and the staff are very good but the portion size of the kabab could be better

Brilliant kebab and chips and chips were perfectly crispy and fluffy

Excellent fish ,chips and steak and kidney pie perfect service from two young gentlemen perfect end to our day thank you 😊.

Only been here twice, it was recommended by my son, but I have to say the food is lovely and I am so glad my son told us about it.

Came the other night and even tho it was just before close everyone was very welcoming. The food was great i would definitely recommend.

Excellent food. Very good portions And very polite stuff Definitely worth a visit

First time here, very friendly service, good plentiful food, but sorry not the best fish and chips I've had.

Lovely fish and crispy chips. Best fish and chips we have had for a long time.

Excellent chippy.. very friendly staff. Has the edge in most local fish and chips. My go to for a chippy tea.

This chippy is the best 👌 Food is cooked perfectly and non too greasy Danielle is the server here and she's very welcoming and a pleasure to meet Prices are reasonable But highly recommended if you want a chippy night

Very lovely lady serving. And the guy cooking was excellent with his service also. Very friendly and food was so tasty. No fault at all

Lush food! Better then one in dawley highstreet Great prices aswell 👏

Decent plaice indeed. Still think Telford needs more orange chip places, but this is indeed really nice. Would recommend easily. And 100% well be back

Fish dry, service good, price reasonable.

Nicest fish and chips I've had in a long time.

Tried the chicken and mushroom pie, chicken kebab and cod fish. The pie is absolutely delicious. The chicken kebab is flavourful and tender. Will visit again soon.

It's probably the best around this area, there is often a small wait as it's quite busy. Only place I know that still does battered bits. Great on your chips..

Got to be the best chip shop in Telford.

Great food great people and was very friendly and very polite. Nothing seemed to much for the staff . So thank you the Codfather be back soon .

Went back here as I aways remember it being good food. Not now. The chips were stuck to the paper and undercooked. There was hardly any fish inside a oad of batter. My partner had kebab meat and t was hard and dry. Definitely not cut when I ordered it. Both of us have had really bad stomachs in the night. This place used to be really good but the place is falling apart and I wouldn't use again

Best around. It's always a bit of a wait, but definitely worth it.

Menu online outdated price wise and sausage missing from lunch box. Scallops too cooked and seemed sitting there ages. Friendly staff and kebab meat was good though

Very friendly staff. Good service.

Is this the slowest service in Telford. Been stood outside 10 mins, not moved...useless! Update, after 15 mins of waiting outside I FINALLY got inside. 6 people in front, so clearly another 20 min wait. I walked out and went elsewhere. Will never use again!

Great chippy , chips were slightly to greasy for my preference but not by any means awful at all

Absolutely amazing friendly staff especially value for the money, food cooked fresh and very tasty highly recommended 5 star service Amazing quality 10 /10 beautiful park bench eating area to admire the wildlife watch out for the ducks with beautiful lake views

Batter was soggy on scollops food rest of food was overcooked

Excellent service and fantastic food 👍

What a chippy!! Does not disappoint.. always busy and for good reason!

Been using this chip shop for years but as of late it’s gone down hill, and rapidly. Chips were undercooked and barely any fish left inside what only can be described as a ball of batter. Staff very rude and blunt. Inside needs a face lift as there’s a lot of dead flies around the window. Pictures to follow shortly. Thanks

I ordered and paid for fish, chips and mushy peas. The food was scabby and greasy. Mushy peas were grey, insepid and hard. About an hour later I was sick. This was on Saturday 17 June at 3.30pm. I won't be going back. However the staf were friendly to be fair.

We had a brilliant experience here, food was great and service is perfect, friendly and professional. Thank you guys. Keep it up 😊

This place has been here years which speaks for itself. Good menu and sensible prices

Good chips and pretty good value. 👍

Would of been 5* but you need to stop watering your sauces down! Soggy chips because of the mayo... and then I had a burger and it was dripping soggy from the burger sauce.

Food was great . However I did have to wait 20 minutes for my order.

Called in at the cod father lovely lady took my order my dad had fish chips peas I had fish chips curry amazing value for money and cooked to perfection highly recommend deffo call again *********

Food tasted nice, but when I asked for salad, I expected a little bit more than a few strands of lettuce and a couple of slices of tomato

Lovely little fish chip shop. Friendly welcoming service. Freshly cooked food.

Ordered a kebab waited outside, when I got home,I was amazed,, it looked like a rat must have been through my kebab,,as there was hardly any meat, and the pitta looked like it had been stamped on or tore apart, very disappointed,,,not the correct portion size or well put together,,infarct I've eat it,now going up dawley for a proper kebab, don't waste your time here for kebab,I won't again!!

Always polite never had an issue withe food great quality and price.

Super fresh fish and chips Delicious flaky Fish, crunchy batter tasty mushy peas

Chips are good however I ordered a kebab for nearly £5... Got home and the amount of kebab meat I got was ridiculous for the money. Don't get kebabs from here.

Very nice chips. Much improved in comparison to 5 years ago.

Polite staff, fantastic food, and price to match. 👏

Always nice a hot best chips around

Cheese chips were well good staff are polite

Best fish and chips I have ever tasted 😋

Great food, but a really long wait to place our order, even though there were only a couple of other customers waiting for their orders.

Dont have chips very often, but they were the best, young girl at the till very helpful 👌

A well ran chip shop, with decent waiting times and great food. The staff are always polite and friendly and the food is priced reasonably too. Would recommend.

Despite the codfather being busy yesterday and me ordering a lot of food, I was given my food in just under 15 minutes, everything was cooked fresh and every single item was delicious.. well done codfTher I will definitely be back!

Absolutely amazing chip shop!! Best around that's for sure. You won't be disappointed. Get yourselves down to the Codfather! 😋😋

As the locals say, Bostin Chippy. And actually reasonably priced in today's current climate. You all have to try this Chippy, you won't be disappointed. Well done Codfather 👍

Crowd of customers waiting for over twenty minutes to get their food. Only took 30 seconds to order and pay for it. I'd have moved on if payment hadn't already been taken. Awful service, totally unprepared and utterly underwhelmed.

Shocking. Would give Zero stars if I could. Ordered jumbo sausage and chips and 2 doner kebabs. Didn’t pack the sausage and the kebabs would have left a small child hungry. 4 strips of meat in one kebab!! Don’t even waste your time.

Beautiful food and great prices

Very nice great service amazing food best chips ever tasted well worth a visit

Good fish 🎏🐠 and chips Friendly staff, chip portions are huge.

Very busy in the evening but the food is worth the wait.

Every time you come here expect to wait upwards of 15 minutes even for a portion of chips. Hoped under new mgmt this might have changed, sadly not only the taste has suffered.

If I could give it no stars I would! horrible the chips brown like they had been reheated over n over again didn't taste nice ended up cooking something instead, worst chippy I've had

Rubbish - took 25 minutes to sort a fairly small order and when we got it home the chips had clearly been refried from cold a few times, they’d gone brown and almost translucent. Fish was awful, batter was rock hard and the gravy had set like jelly after a 5 minute drive.

We had been going to this take away for years and we re really pleased with it, always fresh food, freshly cooked and hot when we got home. Howebver twice now we haev been dissappointed. First, when we got home to unwrap the fish and chips, the fish batter was so cooked that it must have been cooked twice, it was so hard and we couldnt eat it. Next time, we ordered two mini cod and one small chips, and when we got home to unwrap it, not only was there just one very mini cod, but a huge portion of chip,s and once again the fish was so small plus it had the appearance and taste of having been cooked twice The first time we told ourselves we would forgive and accept it was a one off, but not twice. we are very disappointed and we wont be coming back here. There was littel point in taking it back s it was too far to be reasonable to do so, and if we had telephoned i doubt if it would have achieved anything

Rude, foods cold and chef never cooked in the life by looks of it avoid needs closing down

Great chips! Definitely a place to check stop and eat while checking out the beautiful lake!

Absolutely lovely fish and chips. Honestly the chips are the best around! I have never had bad service (I have gained weight since knowing about this place lol) and the food has a full of flavour plus the fish is amazing of course which I'm not a fish person. The food is worth every penny. Yummy Yummy

Grate little chippy, good portions of good quality chips and fish.

Fast service great food and the staff are always very friendly.

Have been using this establishment for a few months now and had various items Fish cooked fresh lovely light batter and succulent moist fish , kebab was awesome,Somoza lovely Staff are great friendly and helpful every time HIGHLY RECOMMEND a visit you won’t be disappointed 😋😋

Really nice food served.. also really polite and friendly staff😄😄

Couldn’t fault the customer service, very polite staff. Been to The CodFather several times now. Always a very generous size portion and tastes great too! The samosa was 10/10 as well! Thank you The CodFather👍

Disappointed this time. Batter really thick and unpleasant.

Always use this place but the 2 times horrendous, fish was supposed to be large it was just long a thin along with being cold chips tasteless, such a shame from how good it used to be. Avoid.

Good quality food, always freshly cooked. Friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere. But. Very limited parking spaces and such a small shop means having to wait outside a lot of the time. Still worth a visit though.

I would recommend any one to there loverly Good and good service

I love the food from here and staff are so friendly

Chips were hard and crispy, one of the worst bags of chips I've ever had,kebab cold aswell

Having just waited 15 minutes for a small order, can only say terrible food. The chips are dried up as if left over from lunchtime trade. Fish a bit better but shall not return.

Large kebab is more like a small one.

The food was delicious, best chippy I have ever been, definitely recommended, great views, nice staff very friendly👍🏻

Best fish and chip shop in town, very generous portions. Great views of lake to enjoy eating food by.

I had a small sausage and chips from here yesterday and became very poorly within the hour! Shivering, terrible stomach cramps and vomiting. This was the only thing I'd ate and still havent been able to eat a thing for over 24 hours now. 😑

Good price, enjoyable food, very busy on a Saturday evening but handles cue well.

Good fish and chips. Friendly staff.

Taste OK but the smallest 'large fish and chips' I have ever had from any chip shop! Definitely not worth the money. The fish was tiny and had disintegrated into the chips. You have to wait outside the shop while they package up your food and now I know why - so you can't see what they are giving you! I would have said something if I would have seen what they were serving but by the time we were home, there was no point in going back.

As someone who used to manage a chip shop before ordination I am very impressed with the Codfather.

Love this chip shop, best chips around

I have always gone to the Cod Father since I moved to Aqueduct 5 years ago. Lovely fish and chips.

Chips are crisp, golden and perfect, not a soggy chip in sight! Curry sauce and mushy peas are on point, as are pineapple fritters and pies. Fish on the other hand is another story, hadn't seen a such a lanky cod until I visited the cod father. Staff confirmed fish was cooked from frozen and recommended that the wait was longer as such. It would be great to see fresh fish and hope they make the changes. Lanky cod in picture below (this was a large cod..)...

Unfortunately the experience has gone down hill, chips aren't what they were. Owner seems to ready to want to start arguments with members of the community over parking. His wife's apologies for his attitude doesn't wash. I will not spend our money here again ,preferring to travel to other shops in the area.

Heard good reports but I was a little disappointed. Chips were ok , battet on fish and taste of fish was ok, but the fillet was a bit scawney.

What a lovely chippy, nicely done chips, clean and tasty, what more could you ask for!

First time here , very friendly service and the food is great , chicken kebab with salad best I've eaten , chips the nicest cooked in colesteral free oil , highly recommend you try

Good fish n cheeps not too expensive

Fresh tasty food, covid secure establishment and friendly staff
