The Codfather in Cambridge - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Well after dreadful experiences of the last owners..ie rancid fish..cold sharp ends of chips..rude staff..who thought they were bodybuilders alone..and greasy dirty shop...saw its now under new ownership..so gave it another go...if anything its worse than before.8mm thick cod..with soggy batter..not crispy....coid was so dry inside..chips yet again just sharp offcuts..and cold..i ordered 2 pukky pies for my so...well they were half the size we get from supermarkets..sealed in celophane..once opepened all soggy...this place is beyond belief...please avoid it !!!!

Ordered at 2, still not delivered at 330, called, rude owner, said I'd

Lovely owners Great food One of the best chip shops in cambridge

Placed an order at 8:30pm on just eat, 35/40 mins for delivery. We have 2 children waiting for their dinner after a busy day. The order was then cancelled after an hour and a half later at 10:01pm. I am disgusted as they are still taking orders, even though ours was cancelled. We now have to wait days for a refund, we have hungry tired children and it's too late to order an alternative. Really bad customer services, total lack of communication. Lazy staff that don't want to deliver to far out into villages, though they made the obligation to do so through just eat. Totally Disgusted!!!

Very fast delivery service will use them again the fish was very nice and crispy with a lovely curry sauce

The best portion I ever had in Cambridge. Curry sauce is a must and it’s creamy and tasty. Best service by the fellow members out there especially the delivery guys ,so friendly and and greet every time delivering food. Overall excellent service.

Good food and great service my dad’s favourite fish and chips

I stopped at this halal fish and chips shop on the way home after visiting Cambridge with the wife. The owner was very pleasant and welcoming. He fried a fresh batch of fish and chips, generous portions, crispy batter, succulent fish. Would definitely go back if I’m in the area. Thank you

Always enjoyed the food but sadly need to rethink about the delivery…£3 delivery ok, 50p service charge ok but, £1 for bag is just ridiculous!

Fantastic! Good was amazing. one very happy customer

driver got the wrong address but is still waited for me for 15 minutes. I wanted to tip but you know, money site . he's a real champion

Very quick , lovely food and polite delivery person

I ordered fish and chips, they were not ready when I showed up. The chips had no salt or vinegar and I was not offered them at the till. The chips were burnt and brown, the fish had the strangest thinest batter. All very greasy

There only 2 old chairs around as all table for eating in Food is well prepared and affordable

The photo says it all. It was supposed to be cod and chips. I've no idea how old that fish is, but it's dry as a bone and full of chewy congealed skin. I'd be embarrassed if I'd sold this to anyone. Chips aren't much better!

chips were very cold cod was very very dry tasted awful

My order was wrong and upon calling to make them aware of the mistake they did not answer

I enjoyed the meal very much thank you

Large portions overall, Batter on the sausage was soft/ soggy and a lot of the chips hard/green and unable to be eaten.

It's the second time I've been here and the second time I've been wowed by the portions and overall quality! Large cod (this thing was huuuuge! And only £2 more... you definitely get your moneys worth here!! It was so large, it had to be bent over in the equally as large recyclable takeaway box!Chip portion of small was also much larger than expected including the curry sauce which was equal to twice as much and half what I would normally pay. It goes to show, that we are getting so used to paying so much for shrunken down portions that when we get quality food for less and the portion sizes that should reflect the price, then these businesses will always be supported by their local community. Also, just to add in here, the staff were constantly cheerful and chatty to their customers, including me, rarity these days and warming to see. Thanks guys! P.s. I forgot to take a photo as I was so hungry and wanted to get it from the plate to my mouth ASAP!! 😆

Ordered food, which consisted of a chicken burger. Morons at the restaurant who are about as useless as an Ashtray on a motorbike decided off there own back to put mayo and lettuce on it, don't like lettuce, can take that out, but when you allergic to egg, that's not good. Phoned up to complain, was told to get a refund through uver Eats abd to re order a chicken burger elsewhere. Absolute rude, arrogant and careless attitude. Not ordering again and suggest you don't either. Disgusting behaviour.

Very friendly service , and great chips.

I ordered 2 x 1/4 chicken and chips, we got turkey legs and cold chips. I called them but they denied that they we're turkey legs but they we're definitely turkey legs. If I could puy a picture on here I would. Ended up throwing mine away as the turkey was dry and tasteless. Not happy at all and definitely won't be back

Fish was really dry and hardly not fish especially at the bottom was not nice pure batter. Used to be so nice here but doesn’t taste the same anymore gone very down hill over rated and over priced I’m disappointed and it’s expensive! Not worth the money.

Customer service is terrible, I just called to place to order and they cut the phone on me because they’re too busy

Great fish and chips..good friendly staff👏👏

Ordered food and the quality was shocking, hardly not fish just pure batter. Chips wasn’t very nice slightly cold! Considering how expensive it was just for cod & chips, waste of money. This place has gone so down hill

Quality was rather naff. The pie came still in its plastic wrapper and more soggy than crisp, so I can only assume someone just threw it in the microwave before sending it to me. Chips were less than average. Won’t be ordering from here again.

Travel across Cambridge to buy Codfathers fish and chips. In my view, these are the best in the city.

Fish was freshly cooked the chips were good but too many. Will go back again.

fish and sausages were burnt, chips were freezing cold, several items were wrong or forgotten, won’t be ordering again i’m very disappointed

missing pickled eggs off my order

I have been waiting for a hour and 10 mins for my order and still no respond from then I have called them at least 8 times and still no respond and there has no communication whatsoever, I begin to think I am getting scams so I hope this issue get solved as possible and hope other people won't have to go through this.

My whole order of three separate meals came all together wrapped together in one giant paper wrap, sent me 5 pork sausages that I don’t eat mixed in with my whole order too. Never ordering from this place again.

We ordered 2 meal: 1) fish and chips plus drink 2) chicken wings with chips plus drink. They just put all food to one bag, add many strange sausages what we didn’t order, was only 3 wings (should have been 5) and didn’t bring any drinks. All good was disgusting as their service. Attached the pic.

chicken was nice, pie alright but the chips tasted like cardboard and were cold! very disappointed for the price of it all and sadly wont be ordering there again :(

this has to be the worst fish n chips I've ever ordered in Cambridge 🙈 the chips were so dry & chewy ,pretty disgusting , the fish was awful , over fried dry batter with hardly any fish it was so overcooked. avoid ✌️

waited an extra 15 minutes for it to be cold and not very nice, disappointed to say the least

The food was lovely and hot well done you doing a fab job

I DIDNT LIKE THIS PLACE OR THE FISH

Khangs fish n chips is so much better

Ordered food and was told that it would be a hour and then they messaged an hour later saying that they cancelled the order and no explanation for the cancellation, now have hungry kids and no response from them.

Both times I have used this in store and a delivery, have been terrible. I don't know how they cook their pies, as they are all wet and soggy like they have been in the microwave. I got given burnt food after sitting there ages waiting for. I gave them the benefit of it just being an off day in the hope it would be better. But it unfortunately wasn't.

Very crispy fish and chips, love it , great service, run by Turkish brothers. They are very friendly and helpful. I have asked the skin of the cod fish and they have done it. Thank you so much guys

Hello, The cod father can’t wait to come back the food was delicious and fantastic, the quality of the service was brilliant. Thank you for your service.

The food was burnt and dry! Absolutely appalling that the cook thought that this food was acceptable when packaging it up! NOT HAPPY AT ALL

The best fish & chips I've ever eaten! Low prices and very large portions. The fish is fried perfectly, crunchy and very digestible but above all you can taste the fish flavour. The fries are great, huge portions. Very very kind and helpful guys. I will be a regular customer!

Nice and hot, however curry was really thick and concentrated, so wasn't great til I added a bit of boiling water,chips were dry and tasted scorched but not normally that way. Huge portions though. Peas and fishcakes excellent

The only thing that was warm was the curry sauce, The chip, sausages and nuggets tasted like they had been cooked and then reheated, I have eaten here before and never had an issue but will not again. The whole order had to be thrown away.

food was excellent but the delay was annoying.both of us are diabetic so would have appreciated it a bit earlier. Will definitely order again as the food is so good

Ordered online a hour ago and im still waiting for confirmation. No one is answering the phone. Ive called them on both numbers over 30 times. Ive still been charged but looks like im getting no food this is ridiculous Update; Still waiting 2 hours later and still no response

Arrived hot and fresh, brilliant

Pathetic. says they will deliver on just eat. take my money when order put in. gives me a delivery time of 30 mins. then 20 mins later cancel the order saying i wanted to cancel which i didn't so they obviously wont deliver to the place that they say they do on just eat. now i'm hungry because they have messed me around....

The meal we had was yummy...my children really enjoyed it!! Very generous serving too!!

GOOD FOOD .. BUT VERY EXPENSIVE

cheese burgers have no cheese! no salad, no sauce... nothing. The battered sausage is stale. I probably would have felt a little better if it was so expensive! I can't believe I've wasted my money on this.

It was not open on new years day but the food, service and atmosphere is very good on football days.

Cooked fresh. Snoring fryer. Wooden forks.

Ordered for delivery over £34 of food. Arrived 35 mins late, cold and not as ordered - avoid!

Good point: Good portions. Chips were old, dry & chewy. The curry spring roll was burnt on the outside. Only 1 portion of chips had salt & vinegar on after I left an additional note to put salt & vinegar on all items. This was my 2nd order from The Codfather & I will not be ordering from them again.

The chips was NOT of the quality we have been used to from CodFather.

The food wasnt very hot the burger was over cooked and was crispy and i ordered a savaloy but got sent a battered sausage which i dont like and somehow the steak and kidney pie was burnt and crispy on the bottom

what a severe waste of money!!!! all the food was burnt onion rings were tasteless won't be using this place again

Good chips but had better burgers for the price.

Tasty freshly cooked Chips & Sausage Smallish portions for £5 each but enjoyed Pleasant friendly staff

Tasty scampi and chips. Huge scampi portion. Very friendly service and quick too.

One of the only places that was open tonight (Christmas eve) in cambridge. The service was great, nice and friendly staff. And the food was amazing.

Spring rolls were burnt- couldn’t eat them missed pickled eggs off of order. Food was cold when it arrived.

Was smoking cigarettes in the kitchen and I couldn't breath while eating. Had fish and chips with curry sauce (no drink). This was just under £15! That's very expensive especially for quality and quantity would be £7 at most anywhere else. Some places - it's hard to finish £7 portion and the quality is better too. Sorry guys - just my honest opinion.

Food was warm. Burger was missing cheese & salad. Thank you.

I have been waiting nearly 3 hours for my food. My status for my order now says it has been delivered which is has not and the restaurant can confirm this also. I would like a refund for this order asap please. due to waiting so long and not having my food.

Food arrived 90 mins after ordering… only turned up because I called. TERRIBLE

Top class! Great customer service. Tasty potatoes, fresh fish, batter not too sickly, good portion size! 😋 Better than the photos look Recommend!

Great place to have fish and chips . Light batter with a good chinch of fish and a great service . Would return any day !

Very nice staff .. awesome fish and chips try this

Very nice fish and chips will bee bacul soon

Fast and quick ordering and fast receiving such a wonderful dinner food 100% will defo be ordering from here again

Very good service. Thank you.

Missing chips annoyingly!! No point ringing it through as we aren’t very local so no point. Fish was tasty though

Ordered from here twice and both times after an hour wait got a ‘your order has been cancelled as there are no delivery drivers’ text. Fair enough to happen once but both times is awful. Wouldn’t risk ordering.

Food was cold, but tasted good when reheated

awful service and food, don’t bother ordering. got the wrong items rang them they said they would come back but have taken another 40 mins and no answer when i call now.

Food was cold so had to be reheated. Could of been a lovely meal. The bag it was in broke and the fish was very greasy and luke warm chips were cold . Curry sauce was OK.

Gave us haddock instead of cod (haddock is cheaper) and didn't deliver our drink. They were most unhelpful when contacted. The chips were good.

Best fish n chips in Cambridge thank you it good every time 👏

I called when the food was 15 minutes late and was told another 15 minutes. It arrived after another 35 minutes and was cold. Will never use them again

Half the food on the menu wasn't available and quite expensive.

What a disappointing experience, both with food and customer service. We've ordered from here before and usually the food is lovely. But tonight was awful. Part of our order was wrong for starters, but when we cut into the "cod" it didn't look right, there was an entire back bone which put everyone off and we couldn't eat the fish. Called to complain and we were told we had been given rock salmon instead of cod! Apparently they had run out of cod and were substituting orders with haddock and salmon. This is unacceptable. The cod option should be made unavailable on the website and apps in that case. Trying to lie to customers and give them something different to what they ordered is completely wrong. Sausage was dry and hard, chips were average. Sad that this place has gone so downhill. Will not be ordering again.

Was delicious, was lovely and fresh, beautiful bit of fish and chips cooked perfectly. Thank you very much I enjoyed it so much!

food arrived warm and soggy, i didn’t get any of the 3 drinks i payed for, still haven’t received my refund for the items that didn’t arrive, will not be ordering from here again.

Their politics are terrible and they insist on plastering them all over their front window.

Had lunch before used to be pretty good but very disappointed with today's lunch The food was very greasy and the sausage was hard as nails and the chips were easily cooked more than once and the fish was well over cooked and very dry!!

Great fish n chips. Really friendly, funny service. 👍👍👍

Placed an order for delivery and did not receive what we had ordered, no chips were delivered and the cheeseburger had no sauce or salad. Even though we ordered over an hour before they closed it seems like they couldn't be bothered to cook chips for our order. Nobody answering the phone.

The two delivery drivers had shown up earlier than expected made sure it was me who ordered the food since I was outside a hotel and handed me my food whilst generally seeming very happy. I even got a few extra drinks like 2 more cans and a big bottle of 7up, inside of the bag overall a very great experience and next time I’m around the area I 100% will order again just to see their happy faces. :D

this was our first time of ordering and we ordered battered sausages and were really looking forward to it but just received plain ones so not sure will use again

Good portion size just a shame it was all a bit cold. Also, not tartar sauce option? Seriously?

Wouldn’t order again. Was ok but had much better.

I have never tasted anything quite as disgusting. The pukka pie was a microwave one still in celephane. When opened it was like mulch! The chips were all stuck together and extremely soggy. Considering they have a minimum order of 20 AND a delivery charge of 10, this was the most expensive food I have chucked in the bin!

Well firstly I ordered a saveloy and received a plain jumbo sausage, now that could have been forgiven if any of the order had been even a little warm, would have been nice. What I received was stone cold, if I left a duplicate of that food out for a day it would have still been better than my “meal”. Worse food I have ever eaten. If I was not diabetic and therefore had to eat, I would of immediately binned the “meal”. I admit they normally do better, but on this time epic fail not fit for consumption
