The Codfather in Charnwood

Got the mini fish and chips great value and very tasty, top bloke aswell very friendly

Lovely owner, lovey fresh food ! Amazing curry sauce !!!!

Best chips in thurmaston, Frank's always a laugh. Couldn't recommend higher

Great place ....local and not a chain

During my recent business trip to Leicester, I had the pleasure of eating at this remarkable local fish and chip shop. The proprietor was exceptionally affable and engaged in friendly conversation while expertly preparing an exquisite haddock for me.

We had pie and chips and a chip cob on Friday 24th May 2014. They were excellent, very tasty and hot. Restored my faith in chip shops - we have a dodgy one near where I live - won't go there again. The staff here were great and cooked to perfection. Will definitely be returning. Well done everyone.

great food and great service :))

The service is great,very kind worker's and great owner,the food is well made and is very fresh.Suitable portions and great prices. It comes fast as it can even when you order bigger meals.Try it now

Best chippy in Leicester and the best chippy owner I’ve ever met. Stayed open late, cooked everything fresh. Will definitely be back!

without doubt the best chippy in the area!

I will not be ordering from here again... the fish was dripping in oil, the chips were ok but not the best. My sauces were open when they arrived so half was spilt out. Most of the food ended up in the bin.

Love the Codfather! Always great food quality and the owner is amazing!

Excellent food every time no matter what day of the week with friendly staff

Was lovely food and the man who runs it was a pleasure to talk to, real British fish and chips

Fish and chips cooked to order. Always, quick with polite service. Consistent quality. Very tasty fish and awesome chips. Thank you for being such an important spot in Thurmaston village.

Lovely staff nice atmosphere highly recommend very nice kebab and listen to exactly what you want thankyou

Great fish and chips, and the owner has a warm personality. Only thing, wish there was tables and chairs to sit.

Very polite gentleman. Freshly cooked food. Will definitely go there again.

We had haddock & chips.Couldnt fault it...it was beaut.

Has a chip cob taste really good

Many thanks for organising lunch for 12 people at short notice. Fish and chips were amazing, as was the service !

Lived in the village for 3 decades and would never trade this fish and chip shop for anything. Frank and his team are caring and serve fantastic food for a great place. Strongly recommended!

One of the staff was very rude to me while I was taking out food, otherwise my meal was great. Overall I give three stars

Brilliant little chippy, very friendly management and staff. Theyre willing to do that bit extra to please customers. Great produce used in a spotless enviroment. These guys know how to make a beauty of a wrap, by far the best chicken gyros style wrap I've had in Leicester. Thanks, ill be back!!

Says open til 9 does not say closed for 3 hours. Shame lovely chippy please alter hours on page

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! This place is absolutely amazing!!! The owner Frank is a true legend. Everything I tried tonight was gorgeous. Chicken and doner is something else 😋 so beautiful The chips are the tast of the sea side Sausages are perfect. A PROPER CHIP SHOP SAUSAGE fish cake melted in your mouth. The foods that good I couldn't wait until Thursday to do a review. But most definitely back on Thursday ✌🏽👍🏻 pleasure meeting the owner a true gentleman 😀

Best chippi around hands down lovey bloke 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Great fish and chips , and good service thanks, keep up the good work

Great food, great service, I highly recommend!!

The Best chippy! Great value and the food is beautiful. A fantastic team too!

First time in years I've been here & if I'm honest I was quite disappointed 2 mini fish 1 was extremely small both flat as a pancake a large chips which was reg at best also old and small & a small curry sauce which was gravey like adds up to £16:50. I have no problem with the cost of things but won't be rushing back even though the service was very good

Food an the service from management was perfect

The Codfather is an offer you can't refuse! Best fish and chips in Leicester! The chicken kebab meat is incredible too! The owner is a true gentleman. We always have a great conversation and I enjoy hearing his wise thoughts on life. He puts the customer first and his heart and soul into every meal and presentation. Won't go anywhere else now.

Ordered from here due to the good reviews, disappointed in the small portion sizes. Lid wasn't put on curry sauce properly so that was spilt. Batter for the fish got stuck to the paper, the fish and chips needed to be put in a tray box to avoid this and not placed on a tiny open tray. Thankfully food was fresh and delivery driver was quick and friendly. Will not be ordering from here again as it was an overall disappointment.

I went to this chip shop this evening after recommendations. The staff were so friendly and the fish was cooked fresh while you waited, it was absolutely delicious, will certainly return without doubt !

Helpful friendly staff. Tasty hot food. Generous portions. Excellent delivery. Will definitely order again.

Kebabs excellent and really tasty and no grease. Will definitely order again without a thought of any other place.

The chicken kebab meat was delicious. Will definitely be ordering from here again.

Once again it was fantastic. Amazing crispy batter. Lovely and hot meal. Wonderful chips

Driver got lost but food was lovely

Beautiful food. Tasty fish and amazing chips

It is so hard to find a fish and chip shop that focus' on his fish and chips more than kebabs. Ive lived in Devon for a long time but have been trying to find our new 'local' chip shop. Yes it is a 25 minute drive for us but the quality is amazing, and is by far the best fish and chip I have ever had. We will 100% be back not just for the food quality but for the care and passion the owner puts into it, I have never seen a more passionate small business owner and I meet a lot of them through my work. 10/10 would recommend

Fantastic fish and chips and a nice guy serving.

I love this fish and chip shop! Been coming here since I was a child and the owner is very welcoming. The food is always delicious and great care is taken to ensure that fresh fish is cooked on arrival for those ordering this.

The best chips and kabab ever. I would highly recommend this chip shop in thurmaston Leicester

Best chippy in the area, can't fault them and the staff make it even better

it was the hottest day of the century and I was stuck in traffic because the dual carrigeway was closed, I spotted this gem of a chippy and thought what does anyone want on a day where it is nearly 40c? thats right a battered sausage lol, the poor sod working behind the counter looked like he was melting, the place was clean and guy was friendly, food was good.

The best chip shop in Leicester!Fish made fresh to order.Staff really friendly!First time I had fish and chips in this place and I would not change it for anything.Everything on their menu from their chips and to their wraps,kebabs and burgers are high quality.Definitely recommend a try! :)

Always friendly service. Good size portions. Perfect.

Visited the codfather today and the food was absolutely fantastic highly recommended and the staff was very polite and very helpful many thanks

Nothing beats The Codfather for the best quality fish and chips. Frank who is passionate about delivering quality food for his customers delivers perfection every time. So much so, we drive a 11 mile round trip to pick these up. A totally deserved 5 star review.

Excellent quality, always fresh. Friendly owner too.

Never go wrong with this place. Great staff and unreal food. Excellent fish and chips with plenty of choice if you need a change.

Always top quality food and the best customer service! My favourite chippy by far!

Fish was good, but did not find chips that great. But otherwise is good. Others opinions may be different

I live in Syston and I’ve tried most of the chip shops around this area, but The Codfather is by far the best. Frank (the owner) is seriously passionate about frying the best fish and you can see him actually time every fish to make sure it’s always cooked to perfection. Couldn’t recommend enough 🙌🏽

The finest fish in leics he will only cook it while you wait

Best fish and chips in Leicester !!

Hands down the best fish and chips in the Midlands!!!!

Amazing food and amazing service Best chippy in the area highly reccomend

Always a truly excellent choice for fish & chips, served with a smile. Freshly cooked to a high standard

Really friendly owner. The fish batter is light and crispy. Big portions and we got free scratching with our large order. Definitely recommend this place

Went their today and had the best fish and chips EVER. Not one for the chippy. But this place does fresh takeout at restaurant quality. Highly recommend the grilled fish done in lemon and oregano no batter superb 5*

Great customer service and excellent quality 👌 👏 👍 😀

Disappointed as bought Large Haddock & regular chips BUT when I looked at the size of the fish it was small NOT LARGE like I ordered. When I asked the girl who served me she says the fish comes in different sizes so the price should have been adjusted to reflect that. Basically I paid for Large fish but turned out to be small size not good. Food was good and fresh.

Great fish and chips, absolutely wonderful, thank you!

Great customer service and lovely food.

I'm convinced this is one of the very best in Leicestershire, I work on the roads and have chippy every Friday, this is one does everything right and everything very well. Plus in a world where I've paid £5.60 in a chip shop for lunch. I'm so happy this was £3.00 for such a great portion. Curry sauce also is fantastic tasted so nice, I prefer it warm and thicker which this was brilliant taste.

A great experience, the fish was just perfect - friendly knowledgeable staff and above all - great food ! We will definitely be back.. Chris and Ralph (Brothers)

Nice fish and chips ok price nice clean place no seating much could have some outside

Great food and great value very friendly staff

great food, great owner and clean place

Best fish and chip shop around and great customer service with friendly staff.

Nice food reasonable price friendly

Started speaking with the owner. He's a smart Albanian chap but I don't know what he does to the chips but it's the best in England. Is it the oil? Is it the Potatos? Is the the fryer? I have no idea but I'll be going again. Thank you very much

Absolutely marvellous..and to top it off on Tuesday they do a £6 full fish and chips plus any side dish. The best chippy around for miles. Worth the travel . Fish was excellent batter crispy apparently the proprietor said he used sparkly spring water to get it like that. Very polite and friendly staff. 5star hygiene rating. Does what it says on the tin. The father of Cod.

Very nice food , the mini fish and the chicken meat was very nice and fresh.Thank you for a lovely lunch.

Have you ever walked through watermead park? Have you ever walked through watermead park and caught the aroma of a chippy nearby? Have you ever walked through watermead park and caught the aroma of a chippy nearby and then gone to The Codfather and had some of the best chips in Leicester whilst continuing your walk?! If not, then get on down to this place! The chips are 10/10 and unique! Not like your standard chippy chips. I'd say a cross between the chippy style but with a nice crunchy outside like Amsterdam style chips. The vinegar they use is nice and tangy and of top notch quality. Swift service with a smile and a very lovely chap all round! Pop in on your next walk or whenever else you are getting the urge for some amazing chips. Serving some of the best chips anywhere and definitely THE best chips in the Thurmaston/Birstall/Syston areas. You will not be disappointed!!

Great food and really friendly staff, 10/10 service!

Not been here in a long time. The chips were great. Fish bites went down well with the kids. Fish is cooked to order. Great service. Will definitely be going back when I'm around that area

Very good food and best customer service

Its the best chippy in Leicestershire 👍👍

Lovely cod and great chips make a stop here you won't regret it

Very good service and great food.

Great food and always friendly. Best chippy in Leicestershire 🙂

Trustworthy people with great food they are selling.

Absolutely beautiful fish and chips and a very friendly staff

Food is always amazing! I always appreciate how much effort the boss puts in, literally working as hard as his employees! The fish batter is the perfect balance between too thin and too thick. He is even generous with his portions! Keep it up and go visit! Very worth it!

Best fish and chips in Leicestershire

By far the best fish and chip shop in Leicester, great service and good food, recommend the doner kebabs best iv had so far.

Great food & service, always willing to go that extra mile to give you what you want, they will even grill the fish for you instead of batter if you ask.

This is the best chip shop in Thurmaston friendly service great prices and exceptional food. I definitely recommend this chip shop to any and all of my friends and even people I don’t know. Please see for yourself!!!

The food was excellent very tasty fish &chips staff superb price very good value

Best chip shop that I have been too and I ha e lived all over the world.

Genuinely one of the best fish and chips shops in Leicester. Always service with a smile, some other fish and chips shops are abit hit and miss but honestly I can't say I've ever had a bad portion size or bad food from this chippy. The owner is friendly and the food is great. The only thing that dissapointed me is everytime I come to this chippy as an Arsenal fan I have to see the Tottenham crest hanging off the wall at the back 😂. In all seriousness give it a go and I promise you won't be dissapointed.

Took forever for order which was fish n chips,actually thought he gone down the canal to catch the fish!! It wasn't worth the wait either

Enormous portions. One portion of haddock and chips would have been enough for two of us had I known in advance. Crispy batter on good quality moist fish. Mushy peas are as good as the north of England where I normally live, but I am currently staying with my elderly father in Leicester. Great friendly prompt service following a phone order. I will be back from Manchester.

Best chippy ever friendly staff and the customer service is expentional I love the food because its soo fresh id recommend this chippy 5 start rating for me

Nice friendly service, great fish and chips and always easy to park nearby.

The Codfather is by far the best Fish and Chips shop in this area ! Great food every time and a fantastic work force that is always willing to go that extra mile !!! Highly recommended !
