Me and the kids went y'day and were greeted by 2 lovely big smiles (from the man in charge and a young lady), and were given the biggest portion of cheesy chips carefully layered for maximum taste! Great customer service and great food. Thank you. We were impressed! 😀

I recently visited The Codfather in Abergavenny and had a delightful experience. The service was lovely, with friendly and attentive staff who made us feel very welcome. The fish and chips were incredibly tasty, with fantastic portions that left us more than satisfied. We chose to sit outside, which was a great decision as we could enjoy the pleasant weather while dining. One of the highlights was ogling the selection of cheesecakes on display – they all looked absolutely delicious! Overall, it was a wonderful visit, and I highly recommend The Codfather for anyone looking for a great meal in Abergavenny.

Disappointed this time around which is unfortunate as we never experienced it before. We had a portion of cod bites and small chips twice. While the fishbites were nice and my son's quarter cheeseburger the chips were not. We had waited for quite some time too and was looking forward to this little treat, which is understandable if they were cooking the bites fresh but it seems as though the chips were left standing too long whilst the cod bites were cooking and especially mine which were very dry and looked shrivelled. Shame really like I said first time it has happened.

Disgusting attitude from the staff over 2 hours for food to turn up, told to go somewhere else by staff and blocked my number, food was cold, smothered in grease and inedible. Avoid this place like the plague.

My father, boyfriend and I ordered food for delivery: 18.40. Get a "driver on way" notification at 19.55 (the time food should have arrived). My dad rings the shop at 20.15 to enquire where it is, as the app is now saying "delivered". The attitude off the guy who answered... wow... his comment to my father when he said he was disappointed was "well you don't have to order with us"... guess what, we won't!!!!! Ring again 20.25, my boyfriend this time, to a rude reply from a girl saying "it's on its way"! Finally arrives at 20.45, after the driver went the wrong way and up another mountain... needless to say chips were cold, food was warm ish. Not giving them another chance, they've failed too many times now!

Oh my god, had this fish shop for the first time tonight and it was amazing. The fish was stunning, cooked beautifully. Best fish I’ve ever tasted. The sausage and sausage and batter were spectacular, the chips were to die for and the gravy and curry was very tasty. The staff when phoning were incredibly helpful. I highly recommend this fish shop, will definitely be ordering again.

Stopped in for dinner on way back from Hay Festival. Nice seating area (both indoor and outdoor) and prompt, friendly service. Chips substantial but lacked crunch. Cod was meaty and flavourful; batter crispy enough and nice counterpoint to fish. Good selection of cold drinks and cheesecake too. 5-star hygiene rating. Overall, enjoyable (if not remarkable) meal.

Everything was really tasteless and lacked any seasoning. The curry sauce was bland, the fish was average at best. Quite possibly the worst I’ve ever had.

Today I picked up a take away from here, unfortunately it was really disappointing. We ordered two small chips, one large fish and one jumbo sausage. The fish was lovely. The chips were very poor and half of one of the trays was actually just full of old batter bits? The other tray had some batter bits but not as many as half for sure. I’ve never experienced this before but it was really off putting. The jumbo sausage was ok - but it had three or four solid lumps in the sausage itself.

Great smiles and great laughs had by the staff up in the Codfather. Solid service and great food. Potatoes where the finest fluffy and crunchy no oily taste. The curry sauce was thick and flavours where impeccable, the cheese was made with mature cheddar which is always the best as you get a strong rich taste. Solid 8.9/10.

Staff and atmosphere of the shop are great, very friendly and kind and engage in conversation with you. Was a little disappointed at the fish as it felt like it wasn’t really crispy / fried well, was quite greasy and it stuck to the paper when it was unwrapped. So can say I have had better - willing to give benefit of the doubt as it was takeaway. Chips were nice enough and battered sausage had great reviews. Would give the Irish curry sauce a miss as the normal one was good enough!

£2.90 for a cone of chips in a tray .. daylight robbery. Literally about 20 chips. Chips wasn’t too bad this time around unlike last time they seemed a day old and stale. Ah well never again that’s 2 times to many. Hello as you have replied I will respond on here. “My comments rather silly and pointless” Nope just sharing my experience. “Impressed you find time to count the number of chips you received” I didn’t waste much time counting so little chips. “Why not mention it to a member of staff who would of gladly give you more” as I said they put my chips in a box/tray which was closed until I got back to work. “As for £2.90 I’m not sure how often you go out shopping but I would suggest you do more often and check prices” I eat out regularly thanks, I just don’t like paying for a half empty box. I’m glad you’ll miss me I wish you a lovely Christmas too.

Seriously, let me think the delivery person for a great service and following instructions. I often treat myself to buy chips, especially from The chip shop. However, disappointingly, they are now placing the chips into a carton so that you cannot have that in paper experience and they are definitely smaller portions. The food was great tonight but not the usual brilliance and this is second time in a row, maybe I expect too much in my imagination.

Walked in to to see what I assume to be the boss chummy guy with short hair stood by the till. I he looked at me with a flat pan face turned around and walked away. (Amazing way to treat people putting money in the till. ) Then a dark haired girl eventually came out from the back and asked what we wanted. I said could I have 2cod and chips one chip shop curry and one Irish curry sauce please. No reply she just went about getting the order together. Do u want salt and vinegar she asked. Yes please I replied well OMG the salt was mounded on ......... Just under £25.00 later. Took the food home started to eat it and we'll. The fish was so greasy Chips were ok I suppose apart from the overkill salt. Threw most of it away. The best part was the Irish curry sauce. ( can't really get that wrong ....... Just add water) Amazed they are still trading. This was my first and definitely my last visit here.

Bland food, rude staff. Cheap potatoes with no flavour to the chips, watered down vinegar. Lady at the till frowning like someone just stole her cat. Miserable. Odd to see so many people thought this place was good, and got friendly customer service? Forgive me, but people with coloured skin get used to different experiences in most places, especially in small town Little Britain. We said please and thank you profusely, and were polite enough to say goodbye when we left, despite having spoken to a wall. Not a single word back from the staff. Oh and its overpriced, you get better portion sizes in central London for what we paid. I guess in rural towns there is only one cowboy around and he charges what he wants! Go if you must, but there is a Morissons round the corner who can sell you oven fish and chips.

My wife and I visited the Codfather today, I ordered fish chips and beans, the girl that served us should not be involved with the public with her attitude. My beans were just warm, my wife took them back and told here this, she stuck her finger in the beans and stirred it around! They’re hot she said and threw them out, more beans were put into a paper cup and heated in a microwave for about five seconds, needless to say they were as warm as the first lot. My Wife ordered curry sauce and chips the curry was un eatable, a second visit is not on the cards.

The worst chips I’ve had in 60 years , 2 months ago had awful dry fish and soggy chips but gave it another go as everyone deserves a second chance. The chips were that soggy they were a lump of goo all stuck together and not good at all after walking just 200 yards home . Very small potion which ended up a good thing as less got thrown straight in the bin. Twice bitten I will never go there ever again

Normally we receive beautiful food from this restaurant but this time we had 3 fish, 3 portions of chips and a pie. 2 fish were okay, but 1 fish, the batter was all peeling off the bottom of the fish, and looked very undercooked, luckily the fish was cooked. We had 2 large and 1 small fish, and there was no difference in size really between the two, despite there being a marked difference in price. The chips were also anaemic, no colour at all, very pale. Disappointing as this didn't seem up to their usual standard :(

My partner and I came here to check out the Detroit pizza and cocktails. The service was fast and super friendly, plus they catered for my nut allergy really well. Being dog friendly, we took out 12 yo labrador Alffi who had fun, plus and Utterly Mutterly ice-cream! We had the 1/2 and 1/2 Detroit pizza, a mix of Bloody Mary and the porcini mushrooms. It was DELISH, the portion was also massive meaning we took half home for tea, making it 2 meals in 1. My partner had the Detroit IPA which was hoppy and fresh. I had the Shepherd and Welsh Wanderer cocktails. Very strong, delicious and well presented. We have friends that live locally and will absolutely be back to check out the Sunday slices, bring our dogs and have some more pizza and cocktails. Thanks Lee & co for fab hospitality.

Recently refurbished and Rebranded as "Fire & Fork" promising a " a traditional American barbecue experience". No Bread available before Starters. - Pork Burnt Ends - Mixture of under and over cooked chunks of pork in a sickly sweet, slightly spicy smoked sauce. Need something acidic to cut through all the fat came with "Texas "Toast", Stale slice of bloomer spread with an unidentifiable substance. Beef Cigars - Lovely shredded beef in a crispy pancake style roll with a rich, smoked Garlic Mayo. Mains - XL Short Ribs not available so both ordered the 10 Hour Smoked Brisket. Served as described on menu. No discernable smoked crust or flavour to the Brisket. No mustard available at this restaurant. No Napkins provided, asked twice, got some from another table. we dealt with our cutlery shortage similarly. No water provided when requested. Inexperience of the staff evident but more than made up for by their enthusiasm and wish to please. Two Starters, Two Mains, Three pints and a Short / Mixer - £92. Option to add tip to card payment. Cash tip direct to server. This place has lots of potential but needs to overcome teething problems before one will consider a return
