The Codfather in South Tyneside

Absolutely awful!!!! This place needs shutting down.. came up here on a work trip and decided to get something to eat. Stupidly decided to eat here and now have been up all night with food poisoning… I can’t warn people enough not to eat here.!! AVOID!!!!!

Honestly this place never ever fails to amaze me!! Could have the worse day ever and this place the food even the staff never fail to put a smile on your face! Foods really good quality really really good quality! And the best thing it’s really good value for money too ! You can never get bored of this place either!! If I could hand on heart recommend a place it’ll be this place 1000000 times over !!!

very impressed with this service very helpful staff and will definitely order from here again

2 hours for delivery. Chips were fine. Pizzas were rather rubbery.

Best fish and chips we've had in years! Gorgeous.

Always get delicious food from here woukd rate to all my friends and family

ordered a 8inch garlic bread special it came with cheese on, chips and kebab just smelt of old grease, had to put the chicken nuggets in the air fryer as they were soggy, 1st and last time ordering from here. delivery was quick and the driver was lovely.

The chicken Nan wrap was melt in your mouth tasty and the curry this restaurant makes is the best in the north east it is far better than all the other restaurants I have tried and the fish tasted like it was just caught that day so flavourful

I can’t say a negative thing about this place there food is always 100%

I ordered this order for my dad and his girlfriend and they where very impressed with the quality of the food smiles all round

This was really nice and good value as well burger and chips especially

this takeaway shop.is vile ask for.no peppers.on pizza.peppers was.on so.clearly didn't read the comments don't waste ya money wouldn't even give them 1 star tbh like

First time ordering from here everything was lovely, came within the timeframe, will definitely be ordering again

Piping hot and delicious- everytime

I really like the kebab meat as it's not spicy like other fish and chip shops. The salad always looks nice and fresh

Disgusting got fish cake and chips the fishcake must of been from yesterday.

Really good food! Delivered really quickly and piping hot! Will deffo order again!

Fish was very small hard very dry was not worth 1550

Disgusting and greasy food, uncooked chips and kebab meat a funny colour and tasted vile

Fastest serving takeaway in South Shields, great food

Food arrived 20 minutes late and cold. I’d requested a text update which I didn’t get and then had to call.

Food was good, I was pleasantly surprised

Really nice fresh pizzas, will be ordering again

it's the first time I've ordered a kebab and it was really nice. other shops I find the kebab meat spicy. The salad was fresh and tasty.

the tray of kebab meat is better without any sauces on top of it as it doesn't state on menu that it now comes with sauce on

chicken strips missing from order

Absolutely disgusting! Horrific quality, chips stone cold. COD bites taste of cardboard, and the batter, if you would call it batter? was a absoule soggy mess… Vile!

items missing most things cold 🥶 rang shop passed around so easier to claim through just eat the dogs have even turned nose up to the cold meat that looks uncooked meatballs on pizza blobs of mince. ham like bits grated cheese. chips enimc.

Every single time I order from here, not only is the customer service absolutely amazing, but the food is unbelievable. I’ve been ordering from here since I first moved to the area when I was 11 and they’ve never changed much, and when they have made changes it has been for the better. You physically have not lived until you’ve had a pizza here, my favourite is pepperoni with extra chicken. Absolutely unbelievable, I can’t understand why anyone would leave a negative review, always so fresh!!!

Just bought 2 chip buttys one with gravy ,I may aswell put £7.70in the bin ,because that's we're they went ,the chips were cold and disgusting and gravy thick and lumpy..the packet she opened had a mouldy bun in it ,when I asked for a fresh packet she said there fine it was a black mark not mould ,won't be back ...

The meat was hard and was disgusting

why give a delivery time and now its saying enjoy food when it's not even here

Food was late and cold!! Not happy at all

don't often comment but honestly the worst pizza and chips I've ever had. no taste hardly any toppings and the chips tasted old. never again

Old manky chips. ...from.a chippy. FML

Food was stone cold. Quality was rubbish. Food wasn't fresh at all. Not happy at all

missed item off but delivered it when I rang excellent customer service 👌

waited ages and its came but not hot

Fast delivery, food was hot and tasty. The nephew was happy with the 2nd tub of garlic sauce, great customer service.

very tasty, very hot and quick delivery...what more do you want..🤷

chips were disgusting and reheated, fish tasted off. won't be ordering again, straight in the bin.

The food was cold and the fish was small and the batter was chewy!

Awful customer service and awful food even after waiting over a hour and 15 mins. Never will I order again from here.

Portions were huge, chicken tenders were insane and garlic spot on. Loved it. Will definitely be back 🤘🏻

Amazing value for money, beautiful food, piping hot and a really friendly delivery driver. Will definitely be ordering from here again the whole thing was spot on!

Arrived nearly 2 hours after ordering, ordered a chipizza and upon opening the whole top layer was scorched, kebab was like molten rock. Very little cheese, and no sauce other than a tiny bit of garlic which I chose, ones I’ve had in the past were swimming in pizza sauce as well as the selected garlic sauce, but this one, bone dry. The chips were absolutely soaked in oil, they were practically glowing, if I tipped the tray a pool of oil collected in the corner. Wish I’d made cereal instead.

items missing, chips weren't good at all

the chips were disgusting and the fish the batter was soggy not good ? chips must of been thrown in fryer again won't be buying from them again

Food was lush 🙂. Delivery was on time even though the delivery driver couldn't find my house. Thank you 🙂

Great as always, thank you so much 😊

My favourite team today. They are always nice and smile. Food best like always. Only one take away l buy. Thank you guys.

Ordered a meal deal with chicken strips loaded on chips, just got chips. Rang and was advised they didn’t do that offer. Double checked my order, and the number, was yourselves, so rang back, and after confirming what was wrong, I asked for a refund, was advised the boss had gone home so could I ring in the morning. I have requested the garlic sauce back (cost £1:50) as I was advised the strips were £2, and I’m not a one for requesting full money back when it was only a partial error. Overall good food, just a slight error with our delivery.

There was no tubs of garlic and chilli sauce with the kids were really upset

Half order missing, tried calling up no one answering the phone for an hour absolute waste of time and money Friday night ruined for the family

Burger bun was bigger than the burger, fish was all over the place when I opened the box and green chips, never again

The food was good as always but the delivery was 30 mins late

Nice and hot, tasted lovely , thank you 😊

Thank you Codfather for sorting my issue with my order tonight. Food was lovely as always and the delivery man was very helpful and polite.

Food was over cooked, greesy and stuck to the lids. Was extremely disappointed after waiting nearly an hour

Arrived earlier than expected, sadly, didn't enjoy it.

Best fish and chips in whiteleas. always freshly prepared and cooked to order. Also do great pizza's and kebabs. Does a bit of everything really well.

Was very nice. Think this is the first time we’ve ordered from here and will order again in future. The large garlic is actually very large and good value. Pizzas were lovely. My daughter had the bbq pizza and said it was gorgeous

Absolutely gorgeous pizzas, we can’t keep away 😂 our fave place

Quick delivery, delicious food and piping hot, faultless

Spot on, tasty and hot , wrapped well , delivered quickly, driver was friendly and polite , thank you

Amazing pizzas. Kebabs and burgers different quality compare to other places.

First time I've tried The Codfather and was not disappointed. Food was piping hot and plentiful. Got the chicken kebab wrap and a pizza. Lush!

lush best place in south shields

Best fish I’ve had in a while .Batter thin and crispy

Just a normal local chippy nothing fancy but nothing wrong with it. Its changed hands a few times but at the moment its spot on. The food is always hot and the delivery service is pretty swift.

Spot on, tasty and hot when it arrived.

First time ordering from this place and first impressions was very bad Chips where under cooked and the delivery driver was rude to my dad said “here” when handing over the food and walked off Won’t be ordering from here again

I don’t understand how anyone eats here…I ordered 3 cod and chips with curry sauce. Chips were absolutely vile and the cod… threw the entire meal away, I’m not one to waste food, so if I ever waste food you know it was that bad. Quality needs fixing up here. The cod wasn’t even crunchy batter it was just soft and oily… chips tasted like they’ve been sitting there for days on end.

All perfect like always. Special thank you for Ken

Customer Service by staff is nothing short of a disgrace this evening with the female attendant very abusive using the F word when I complained about Fish & Chips served which were black due to burnt fat. She blamed the manager for the burnt fat and said she only does as she is told! What I can't accept is the total lack of customer service with not even an apology and resorting to foul language.

Really poor quality food tonight. Jumbo sausage missing. Last order, sauces missing. Took over an hour.

The food was cold and there was sauces missing and by the time the sauces got brought back to the house the food was stone cold very disappointed

My childhood favourite is still delicious 10 years later! Thank you so much

The pizza was disgusting didn’t taste right at all the garlic bread was hard as cardboard they didn’t give me my garlic source the chips where not to standards I would not recommend this take aways shop at all not happy with what I received

Items missing from order and when I phoned the shop, the assistant didn’t know what she could do to help. Told me to phone back the next day. Unacceptable.

Honestly the nicest pizza we've had in a long time! Not greasy and crust was not too thick and perfectly cooked. Highly recommended

Ordered Garlic and Chips but no Garlic,

Chips horrible, chicken tiny little pieces and over cooked asked for batter on Chips none came worst ever never again

Worst customer service ever experienced and truly the worst food

Absolutely Lush will definitely be back! 😋

The first time i have ordered from here and i would not order again. The chips were under cooked. The chicken strips we soggy and were more batter than chicken.

When guy took lid off was steaming never had delivery so hot fab pizza

Food was nice and hot, and very tasty

I would have given a better review if the order was correct unfortunately the kebab wrap that I ordered plain came covered in garlic sauce which was inedible due to an intolerance. I did try call restaurant at 8.47 but didn't answer as it was closing at 9 I assume.

The BEST fish and chips I’ve ever had. No joke.

Tray of Kebab meat, salad and chilli sauce was very fresh, hot and tasty.

Who made that! Best I've had packed with meat everything I asked for thanks xx

Amazing service and food as always, left chips of the garlic bread special by accident but offered to send them round asap. Lovely staff, service and food. Thanks again 😊

I got the Donner pizza absolutely beautiful Donner meat best about, also great customer service x

Kebab meat is the best around, I had a mixed wrap absolutely delicious thankyou

Ordered off Uber Eats took 2 hours to get the here and absolutely freezing, but kept the cash

Chips were a bit overcooked, but the rest of the food was good.

Lovely food reasonable prices fast delivery

Pros: Garlic Sauce - thick and flavourful Chicken burgers - good quality and value Chippizza - tasty alternative to a pizza (loaded chips) Atmosphere - It's all been decent quality so far, staff are friendly (other place can be quite rude, see gills at the book for example) and there's a positive atmosphere with staff in the shop Cons: Smash burger - patty is too thick and not crisp more like a normal burger but quality of ingredients is very good Fish bites kids meal - a couple of times later in the day it came with the tail end of a fish and it was a bit burnt

Smashed burgers are banging 👌,could be smashed abit more but lush
