Found the Cod Father again after a few years of being out of the town, and again, fantastic size portions and jumbo size sausages were great, will be going there again on the way home 🏡

Was very busy but the food was excellent, all cooked fresh. Drove 10 miles or so back to the lodge and food was still hot. Portion size and value was excellent. Well worth the 20 minutes waiting for it to cook.

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Owner is grumpy and clearly hates his job. Asked for lettuce in my burger and he rudely said “you would get lettuce here” … instead of “sorry we don’t have lettuce atm”. All rude and moody workers. Then we got the food home and it was all awful, all of it tasted like dirty oil like they hadn’t changed their oil for weeks. The chicken patty in the burger wasn’t cooked properly was pink in the middle so all I ate was the chips which tasted like they were cooked the day before at some point. Don’t bother with this place just travel a little further and get somewhere decent.

The fish is hit and miss it can be quite large if your a local but I find as an outsider they always give me a smaller piece! Waiting times can be long as it’s very popular will the locals Fish is always tasty tho and you get loads of chips

I ordered 2 oap specials to take my grandparent as i normally do every week. This time, they charge me full price without asking me who they were for. Staff were not interested in asking me for proof or offering me a refund of the difference. really need to take a look at your staff. Told us “to go elsewhere” which is probably why your first business failed!

Uncooked hard chips, poor customer service, says will be ready by a certain time, and then isn’t ready until 20mins after said time. Poor attitude and rude staff. Francine’s may be a little more expensive but atleast the service is better and treat each customer with respect!

for a few years now we have been traveling up to Okehampton for fish n chips... (we call into one of the supermarkets on the same trip) as Fish and chips in Launceston don't compare to our regular chippy up there.. .... but today we tried the "Codfather" for the first time.... we were not disappointed . The staff were very pleasant even though they were busy ...We can "hand on heart" say that after a lengthy wait they are by far the best fish n chips in the area... lovely batter and white cod... really enjoyed them! However, The location is very poor and if you drive a car that is worth more than £75.50 you could be concerned with the parking arrangements ... so, its the shopping and chippy run up the A30 for us despite the Codfathers excellent fish and chips ...

What an Amazing Fish and Chip Shop! On our way from Devon to Cornwall, we ordered Fish'n Chips from this Shop. We spotted it online with good reviews. Unbeknownst to us, there was a Carnival on, so lots of roads were closed off+ we couldn't find the Shop to collect the food. The marvellous lady who works there very kindly sprinted to where we stopped our stranded car, and handed us our delicious fish and chips, along with a sunny disposition! We so enjoyed eating the delicious fare, perfectly cooked, and piping hot, while enjoying the Launceston Carnival: What a happy evening! 10 out of 10 for the quality, taste + presentation of the food, and for Customer Service!

Sadly the previous reviews, at least for me were misleading. Staff were lovely. Sadly chips sloppy and barely cooked, fish could have been lovely if it wasn’t swimming in oil and cooked a bit longer. Sorry to be so negative. The whole meal went in the bin.

Very good portion sizes. Chips fish and sausages were stunning. The only complaint were the onion rings sorry but they were limp and soggy and the breaded scampi. That was very pale looking and really mushed up inside

Codfather is unbeatable. It's hands down the best fish and chips I've tasted, and the portion sizes are great despite the low price. The hake is huge. As well as the standard fish and chip shop menu, they offer a great value monthly special. For example, in September you can get mozzarella sticks, medium chips and chilli dip for just £4.25! Codfather used to be at the entrance to Newport Industrial Estate and has now moved into a van on the old abattoir site on Dutson Road. 317debbiev seems to have got the wrong place judging by her review. The awful (and now closed) Sky Fish Bar was in Codfather's old premises and their food was terrible. I can well believe that they microwaved their chips. The Codfather absolutely does not. You can watch them fry them to the perfect fish 'n' chip shop consistency. Everything about the fish and chips is excellent. If I had to find something to criticise it would be that they don't put enough salt and vinegar on for my taste so I add extra at home.

As the title says, what fish and chip shop microwaves pre- cooked chips? Makes them flaccid and rubbery. Fish was dripping in oil - enough left over to fry the chips.Never again.

The best chip suppers I have had in 40+ years of eating chips from all around the UK, some came close but no one else is THE Codfather! Do not miss if you have the chance. And of course cooked and served by cheerfull happy people who know their business, spot on. Always a pleasure to collect and an awesomely satisfying experience.

Really lovely people who run this chippy and they also serve up the best fish and chips in the area! Since discovered them I do not go anywhere else as they have hit it spot on. Lovely big portions of fish along with a mountain of chips and splashes of vinegar and dashes of salt - utterly scrumptious! Highly recommended to anyone within the area.

We were on a short break and were looking for fish and chips, having looked at TA and seen that this place had a good review we went there for dinner/tea, it's a food trailer set in a yard with a couple of garden benches to the side, which we thought were not really for sitting and eating, there was a queue when we got there and they only cook until early evening. The portions are big, the fish is fresh and tasty, the chips are great ... just don't order a large portion as they feed at least 3 people, we did and couldn't eat them all . :o)

Today was my fist visit to The Codfather In Launceston. I could not face my normal lunch so decided to break out and try something new. What a lovely couple of people. Knowing what you are doing and making you feel welcome in the food industry sometimes gets forgotten. Not here. Great conversation and very welcoming so that is a very good start. I ordered fish and chips, it was cooked fresh, the batter was nice and crispy, the fish had lovely large bright white flakes and the chips were great. I am not a big chip eater and had to ask for my portion size to be reduced! I will be back, I cannot wait to sample some more. Well done to you both.

I have never left a review before but felt like I needed to share the love! We spotted this place during our holiday in Newquay. I’ve eaten at some of the ‘best’ burger joints in the UK and beyond, and this easily bested them. We liked it so much I went back two nights running as I didn’t want to only have it the once before we had to leave! I had the Herd and the Classic Cheese, both with an extra patty. Both were fantastic, with great quality meat and toppings, big flavours, and nothing too greasy either. Dicing the gherkin is an inspired move! Fantastic bun, works so well and adds its own edge to the burger. The burgers hold their structure really well too - call me fussy but it just adds that bit of extra quality. Can you tell I enjoyed it!? The fries were brilliant too. Soft and fluffy, perfectly-cooked, hot and fresh. Quite heavily seasoned which worked for me but a bit on the salty side so you might want to ask for less seasoning depending on your tastes. If you like burgers and you are in the area definitely give Herd a visit!
