THE CODFATHER in Barnsley

Good food sausage in batter me and cousin. Great good value I hope all-day special must not go up in price as we will not be able to get it but is delicious good food good staff 😋

Just been to Zante for two weeks and called here after landing, just as we got back into Barnsley. I had Donner Kebab and chips. Best meal of the whole fortnight.

Great service and excellent food. Staff very friendly. 😀

Food absolutely delicious. Fish are big which is full of fish and crispy batter. Chips were delightful.

I always go here food especially fish and portions excellent, but this time fish not good

Obviously best fish and chips in town. Staff is great, do not have to wait forever. 5+

Great value for money. Really enjoyed the fish. Would recommend it to anyone.

Love going here for the fish pieces special, absolutely amazing value and really nice too.

Ordered at 6.01pm, it's not 7.53pm and still not been delivered. Called multiple times to ask and just told it's busy. Very disappointing.

Worst fish and chips and atmosphere in a chippy! Nothing even ready when I ordered. Shouldn'thave to wait 20 minutes for fish and chips, especially at a chippy!

Wow and not a good wow - chips/sausage were awful, looked and tasted like last nights re-heats won’t be back

Terrible! Fish extreamley greasy and more batter than fish , half the skin left on the fish, poor quality , peas tasted burnt . Manager telling staff off in front of customers and very rude. Never again

Really good fish and chips, well worth the value. Friendly staff and quick service, would recommend calling.

Really good fish and chips,always busy.

Food was very nice but it seemed to take forever to get served, sadly.

Some of the chips were still raw, perhaps they would have been cooked properly if the woman serving us wasn't busy telling the very uninterested customers in front of us her entire life story. They gave us gravy instead of curry sauce, we are vegetarians. We were waiting around for about ten minutes in the freezing cold before we were served. Only go to the codfather if you like being talked at.

Codfather is the best fish and chip shop around barnsley. Ay don't take my word for it go try it yourself you will not be disappointed at all .⁹

Reyt snap just need a bit more curry on fish bit special

Very busy but there's a reason for that. Must be one of the best chippy around.

Best fish n chips in Barnsley by far. 10/10.

Always a good meal from the Codfather, whether you go for a full chippy tea or for the fish bites special (fish bites are the way forward!) you can’t go wrong. The prices are good, service is quick and the food is almost always fresh out the fryers thanks to the number of people that also appreciate the quality of food from here!

Best fish and chips I have ever eaten. Potatoes are handmade and cod’s are fresh, there is always queue in front of the shop.

The service is just far too slow. I don’t mind waiting for fresh fish, whilst it cooks, but the fish I got had been sat in the counter ready for 20 minutes. I was in the shop so long, my coat, clothing, and hair smells of the place.

very busy, parking is fine but often a bit of a wait

Food it lovely as usual but the portions have got smaller with smaller packaging but price is still the same

Couldn't recommend there fish quicker...lush 👌

Will not be going there again. Food was absolutely appalling.

Excellent food but because it is very busy you often have to queue outside waiting to order. Would be 5 star if larger facility.

Long wait, smells terrible and loads of local inbreds that are waiting for this tipe of food they can afford

100% better than the fish and chips you get at Whitby

The food is good but service very poor. Customers in the shop should be priority not that delivery apps. They need a separate staff member for the delivery items so it doesn’t impact the customers in the shop. They also need better management of the food area as has to wait ages as no fish or chips…in a chippie 😂 😆

Godfather is a good chippy but sometimes the chips are a little under cooked and still pale

As nice as always, can't even mark them down on service despite generally always having to q. Q is caused by the fact it's one of best chippies in Barnsley 👍🏻

Worth a visit. Does have a wait time at times.

If i order now i will receive tomorrow, i see the driver on the uber app he stay on the shop 1 hour for my food and after he need to travel 10 min, my food was horrible after this long whit i will cook whit my self. Don't recommended anymore bad staff at this shop .

Wheiting nearly 2 hours, the delivery time on the app kept changing. The app said the driver was at the shop 1 hour before he set off, when I called the shop they said had been waiting for a driver rude staff we have the app and will receive info in real time. Not happy about this shop.

I went here years ago and loved it only stopped going because I moved, after driving past we decided to call we got 2 mixed kebabs and they didn't disappoint its the best kebab I've ever tasted the staff were amazing it was very busy and the staff were amazing

This place had gone badly downhill. It used to be really good, but the last few times I've been it has been disappointing and today the food was really bad - rubbery batter and everything swimming in grease. Really nasty. They are clearly overwhelmed by delivery orders and telephone orders, so if you go in person, be prepared to wait ages to be served and then even longer to actually get your food. There used to be a woman who worked there who seemed to have everything under control, but I've not seen her for a while, and without her the place is in total chaos. I hope they manage to get themselves sorted out, but after a few disappointing experiences, it's going to be a long time before I go back.

Lovely staff, always go above and beyond for service. Never had any problems. Would definitely recommend!

The quality and crispness of the batter is awesome. The chips are cooked in a tasty batter that makes them so difficult not to finish!

We usually buy from here but think it must be going downhill as today the fish tasted awful batter fell off and the chips tasted like cardboard. The assistant who served our order charged us for stuff that we hadn't ordered until my partner queried the £4.00 overcharge. Sorry CODFATHER you have lost our custom now as most of it went in the bin!!

Been today first time in a couple of years It was horrible 2 large battered sausage definitely not fresh and soggy Chips white has snow had a cardboard taste to them Definitely warmed up definitely not fresh It was 12 pm so it was probably yesterday's left overs One bite of sausage about 5 chips rest went in bin So you replied Can i say i know what potatoes you use I saw them getting delivered They are already peeled and chipped when you buy them I saw them getting delivered to you so not fresh are they They are bought in in bulk not freshly peeled chipped on your premises

Great food but can take a while. Always fresh to order

Sick of just eat and uber being a priority so will now go elsewhere as its getting so bad

I do think the fish and chips are decent but I've just ordered a mix kebab. (Decent portion) too. But the chicken meat had a weird fish taste to it wasn't my cup of tea. Its probably decent chicken what I happened to don't like. The main concern was the chilli sauce. I genuinely thought it was ketchup sauce. So I sadly had to eat my kebab dry as the chili came in a really small tub and it was too sweet and tasted and looked more like ketchup. Kid enjoyed his nuggets so I think I'll just stick to the chippy side of things from this shop Quick service Good portions

Best fish and chips shop in Barnsley, I definitely recommend it!

Definitely recommend the best fish and chips in the area!

come on ladies come on ladies 🤠one👽 pound fish

Been going here for a long time and the food itself is as good as ever. Unfortunately they struggle to cope with the Just Eat orders, and prioritise these over the physical customers in the queue. A 10 minute wait today to order a kebab and an all day special (which is acceptable), then a further 35 minute wait to actually receive the food (and then only because we asked how much longer the wait would be). Think it's time for us to find a new chippy.

Pleasant staff loved the chips delicious and ate outside pleasant and clean surroundings

Food is very good but no space.

Great fish and chips . Very busy place service is good too.

Very slow service and very very arrogant

The best fish and chips I've had 🤗

Good food but shameful acts by the staff and owner I was standing in the shop in the warm and two delivery drivers standing outside the shop with there bags for at least half an hour in the rain and cold both soaked to the bones there bags must have also be water logged. Lady took there time to get there orders ready. This shouldn't be happening in 2023 get these people some shelter if they are taking the time to deliver your orders !!!!!!

So good nice workers I could stay there all day xxx

Great value for money. Food is always fresh and piping hot too.

Easy parking, good service. My go-to chippy on the Carlton side of Barnsley.

Local fish and chips, loads of chips per portion nice fish, the batter is a little soggy, but on the whole it’s ok

Great service, we arrived 20 minutes before closing time and they still made us fresh fish. Great food and quality

Wow amazing fish and chips best we’ve had in years.

Really nice fish n chips. Very well cooked and not overpriced.

All day special at £5 3 pieces of cod the size of your plan chips and a choice of mushy peas or curry sauce. Lovely chatty lady serving.

1st order, very fresh salad, doner meat. Really enjoyed it.

The best fish and chips ever! No wonder they have won awards. Service was good. Shop itself is clean. Plenty on the menu. Highly recommend 👌

Well pleased .gotfish bits .staff was great.thanks.

Food is excellent but long wait due to Uber and Just Eat orders taking priority. Should have extended the fish shop instead of opening a Chicken shop next door

Great Food And Piping Hot And Friendly

Always a great chip shop worth a visit

Good quality fish and chips not too much of a wait

Ordering by telephone? Don’t bother…. I put a telephone order in to collect in 10 minutes ‘no problem’. Got to shop confirmed my telephone order and paid. 30 minutes later still waiting…. think they had actually forgot my order after I was the only one left waiting. Appalling service and didn’t even get an apology for the wait!

Good fish and chip shop plus a great menu

I don't like fish in Barnsley, as I'm from Leeds and we have the batter different. So I get a kebab, nice enough and if there is no queue I don't mind calling, it does get busy and it's small. Above 6 people without social distances and you have to stand outside.

Absolutely disgusting, in my honest opinion it caters for cheap and easy. The fish went in the bin, I should of known when I saw donna meat on the menu. I won’t be going back

Awesome food, quite pricey but you get what you pay for.

Fish n chips are banging. Highly recommend

Miserable staff, and not very fast, won't be going again. It costs nothing to smile and be pleasant to paying customers

Go here for my fish and chips, and sometimes I have the chicken meat which is absolutely tasty as hell! Highly recommended!

Really good fish and chips, fish was cooked to order so there is a wait but definitely worth it. One of the best chippys around.

Better to ring up, it's quite busy, but the food is good.

My mixed race son got racially profile and discriminated at in this establishment in 2022 so I won't support thier business again thank you

I have been using cod farther for many years. Its not what I used to be. If you go for a takeaway they keep you waiting.

Best fish and chip shop for miles by Yorkshire standard. As a native of Liverpool I do find the menu very small as we don't have chines takeaway and fish and chips it's all the same even if run by English and or Greeks :) but to get back to codfather quantity is good staff are friendly and and value is good. Again to be clear they have a large menu ( by Yorkshire standard )

Generous portions - however occasionally can get the order wrong

Good food, maybe the best fish and chips in Barnsley. Long queue tho...

Great fish and Chips , delivery excellent would recommend although a bit on the pricey side with delivery charge added as well .

The seller man is very rude and managment is so poor.unfortunately he has very bad behaviour with the driver.

Lovely food but very slow service.

Top 3 places for fish&chips barnsley easily. Not 5 stars because they are keeping delivery drivers waiting too long as if they're not an extension of their clients. Let me explain: they should start making the orders when they receive them through justeat/uber instead they waiting for drivers to arrive and when they get there the ratio is 4-5 walk-in clients to 1 driver. So bare in mind when you ordering and it takes too long

Just had f and c from this fish shop if you can call it a fish shop the fish was so dry and overcooked the batter taste like ready mix batter my daughter had a battered sausage I would be able to knock a 6 nail in with it I don't know why though they don't just stick to selling kebabs wood not recommend going there to anyone

Not amazing but pretty decent. Had to wait a really long time though, around half an hour from joining the queue to recieving food

I'm going to be totally honest. I've been going to Codfather for a few years since moving here from Wakefield. I'll put it simply. I refuse to go anywhere else for Fish & chips. And if a friend buys from another place I always joke "It's not Codfather though is it?" Honestly look no further its probably the closest you'll get to the seaside without actually been there. If I could give it more stars I would. Its a definitely must try if you are visiting or local!

Great food and great service as always

Great chippy, used them for years. Great taste Great price. Friendly staff

Food was nice, took a bit long though

When a fried fish tastes fishy you know its not going to be good.

Orded 2 fish and chips other day, there food use to be value for money, the food was horrible they have changed fish and the chips don't taste nice and they have nerve to add 50p onto price.

Great food but !!! The waiting time is horrendous due to the “just eat” brigades!!! All waiting for large orders at the side window. My advice is to pay for delivery.

Good value food and hard working staff. 👍
