The Codfather and off licence in St. Helens

Just ordered 3x fish and chips, sausage and chips and more. They cancelled the order as they had no fish, never told us, left us waiting over 1.5hrs for the order before we found out.. Very poor service , won't ever attempt to use them again. Good luck with your order!!!! Fortunately just reordered with Domino's instead , shouldn't take money when they can't deliver the order, now have to wait for refund.

Seems to have gone really down hill. Shame as it used to be quite nice for the price.

Rough as houses, staff not interested and the food is garbage we threw ours in the bin disgusting an absoloute waste of money.

ordered pizza and chips and both were absolutely disgusting knocked me sick eating them, pizza base was thin and soggy with lots of cheese and basically no sauce.

Wouldnt have given the one star but had to . To put a review. Horrible place. We always use to order from here. But lately they have gone down hill. The chips were like chunks. They obviously hadnt changed the oil ( I know because I've worked in a take out place) The mushy peas ( if you can call them that ) were hard and tastless. When I rung up to complaine. I was told that the peas were fine. Then she started getting snotty with me!

Been there 4 5 times recently, they are very hyghene on their food. Tried their pizzas burger and kebab tbh all of em are very tasty and prices also reasonable. They have now Off-licence so they can sell beers wine and spirits and their prices of alchohol are reasonable as well. If you go there you can see many wines, spirits and beers there in reasonable prices... and they deliver your order upto 6 miles as well at a short time. And their customer service is out of the world omg they never let u down their best is the customer service of em. The Codfather taleaway and off-licence is a worth a visit for you because you can buy both food and drinks spirits beers and wines there at reasonable price. Recommended place 👍

Tasteless, messy chicken kebab falling apart , cleaning the ceiling grill while their was food around never go again

Very hit and miss. I've had a few great meals from here and I've had a few awful meals. I normally wouldn't eat here but it's close to home and good for something quick on the go.

Not so nice now no consistency in quality and getting orders wrong

Asked for naan bread which I paid for and extra 70p I paid for it aswell as a large kabab, they send me medium meat, loads of salad and 2 pita bread’s instead. I rang them and they said they ran out of Nan breads!!!! They make them fresh normally. So how ran out? Been loads of times, cost cutting and ripping me off, never again

Food was awful warmed up chips and the chicken wrap we had was barley warm and was unable to add the sauce because it was already a soggy mess won't be going again this was the second time we have been and got bad food.

Absolutely disgusting food , 30 quid , freezing cold fish and chips ,even the kids couldn't eat it , definitely won't be goin there again! Waited an hour for delivery,kebab meat like leather

£9 for a kebab meal (chips and drink). Hardly any chicken, over-powering sauce and loads of soggy salad. Chips were alright but hardly get any. Some of the cans are blown at the ends so suggests serious problem? Pizza was super greasy and lacked any form of flavour.

Ordered cheese & chips and asked for a time frame, which i was informed it would be ready in 10 minutes, i turned up 10 minutes later to collect my chips to have to stand & wait a further 20 minutes.... I'm no chef but i know it doesn't take 30 minutes to make some chips & add some cheese. I was charged £4.50 for a large portion which was more like a childs portion, this place used to be a nice place to eat from but has severely lost all my further custom now!!

Despite ordering 2 hours and 15 minutes ago the food has only just arrived. It’s cold and soggy. I also ordered a cheese and onion pie and was given a meat and potato which I can’t eat as I’m vegetarian. Will never be ordering from here again! I called 3 times to ask where my food was and noticed they stopped answering the phone after this so clearly having some problems. Have waited 3 days for a manager to contact me but heard nothing. WILL NEVER ORDER FROM HERE AGAIN!

Service slow food was cold chips undercooked large portion was the same size as medium

Went for fish and chip got chip bits and the fish was warmed up had a funny smell mostly hard batter couldn't even brake it never mind bite it had to throw it all away. I will not be going there ever again

Have bought food from here before, but this evening due to being busy ordered online to be delivered at a later time. The food that came was in all honesty the worst chippy food I have ever had, the chips where cold with a strange smell of old cooking oil and must have been served when the order was made 90 minutes previously. The fish in the fish and chips meal was batter with an essence of dried fish, even the dog didn't want it. Sadly we won't be ordering again

A few times i have ordered here never had problems. But recently the last couple of times ive paid extra for cheese on chips, no exaggeration, but its literally a table spoon of cheese, and the fries are definitely warm ups as they're hollow! Wont be going again.

One of the best chip shop/pizza takeaways in the area.

If I could give them a zero I would. I’ve ordered chips from there and it was so disgusting.

Shocking food I ordered large chips that were burnt and only half a tray I ordered fish bites that were full of bones had to thrown it out and a kebab that was tiny my order was also late over 40 minutes late I will not recommend anyone ordering from here it wasn’t cheap either

Both takeout and deliveries are always quick and with good service. Food is good and they have a big selection of options: kebabs, burgers and fish & chips. Good pricing as well compared to other places in the area

The portion sizes have gotten smaller and prices increased. Not been for months won't be returning. Cheaper and nicer chip shops in the area with bigger portions I order small chicken kebab and can't eat it order from here and need 2 large. This place isn't for me anymore

I've used this chippy a lot, and have come to expect inconsistent quality. A few weeks ago I had excellent fish and well cooked chips but today was the complete opposite. The chips were pale and undercooked, the steak pudding was cold and peas were watery.

The place has rather gone down hill, don't think we'll be ordering from their again.. food was not enjoyable

Only bought chips but they tasted as though they had been warned up and were very rubbery so can't comment on their other food items

Waited 1 and a half hours for cold chips and a dreadful kebab, ive used Codfather several times a d always gave them the benefit of doubt over the luke warm food, I will not be using them again

Just had a chicken burger and salad with chips and my other half had fish cakes the food was amazing fast and friendly delivery will be deffo ordering again highly recommended

I had a fish, hubby had sausage and chips. The fish was huge and cooked perfectly, so many chips my other half couldn't eat them all. Highly recommend and certainly not overpriced!! Will definitely go again.

Had a lovely combination kebab highly recommended

Nice chicken kebab. Not over priced.

The Food was delicious. Friendly family run business. 5 star. Clean place

Brilliant find just off the M6 after being stuck in traffic. Great start to our holiday in the north. Free garlic bread, very friendly and helpful staff. Stop in if you can!

The only place We will order food from! Fast, fresh, and reasonably priced. Anything We order is always gorgeous! Staff are so Friendly too! The Codfather is highly recommended 👌

Too expensive and way too expensive to pay on card

Great food. Friendly staff. Good prices

Very good price food and very good food

When friends from bordering places ask for delivery and have other chippy or kebab houses next to them that alone shows how good the food is at The Codfather👌

The food from here was amazing also the food service. Great staff manners and I would highly recommend!!

Ordered 2 x pizza tonight - took just over one hour to arrive - and on delivery the only thing I can say positive is that they were hot - apart from that - tasted awful - incorrect ingredients - worst pizza ever had - AVOID

Staff very friendly, love their fish and Chips, Pizza's Good too.

Always pleasant and friendly staff. Kids always get a treat if they come along.

Cracking chippy, nade even better the fact tou can order online

My favourite takeaway, always fantastic food always the right order, top marks!

Mint kebabs here, good chips, curry sauce and gravy

Great food great service highly recommended

Sausages not cooked properly, had to finish cooking them when I got home. AVOID!!

My partner bought me a fish and chips two nights ago and I was perfectly fine half an hour later showing all the signs of food poisoning dont buy fish from them

Foods decent but the portions of chips get smaller every time I go

We'd never ordered from here before but the food arrived promptly which was nice. After a busy day we were both starving. Unfortunately, I couldn't eat the fish chips and peas. The fish was nice in parts then had patches of tangy batter which spoiled it. The chips were really not nice and the peas were not mushy. They may have been having an off day, but I won't order from here again.

Anything I have ever ordered has been good.

First time ordering from here tonight, the food was brilliant! Staff were very helpful and couldn't do enough. Will defo be back :)

AMAZING FOOD everythink is absolutely delicious can't fault anythink from fish and chips to kebab even the lollipops are amazing will defiantly be coming her again staff are so friendly and helpful the little seating area you can stay and eat is beautiful and I could see them making the food it was spotless thank u so so much we will be back again for sure nothink better than a lovely taste take away /cafe / resterant xxx

Great fish And chips best we ever had and chicken kebab was so tasty cant wait to go again

Great quality food and cooked fresh, We will be using the Cod Father again.

Great to serving all customer,thenks.

Excellent! I'll be back. We tried the sharing kebab and it was brilliant but so big we couldn't finish it! I'm going to try the pizza next but there is a lot of choice so I'm sure you'll find something on the menu you will like.

Great service great food.....never been in such a clean chippy Highly recommend it

Delicious fish and crispy chippy, just the way i like. I also like pizzas and kebabs of this place. They invited me to see the kitchen and everything was the best i saw ever.

Awful, the new management are not a patch on the previous. Old brown chips, very cheap chicken and wrong order delivered. Shocking.

Great place with amazing food and friendly staff.

25 mins wait for 2 portions of chips and 1 cheese burger....to take away....no wonder the place is always empty. On the plus side the burger was nice.

Without a doubt the best fish and chips for miles. They are so friendly n extremely clean.

Great choice of food but our chips were cold and the fritter was awful. Normally a great chippy

Good honest traditional English chippy.

I'm a new customer to the codfather, today I had the mixed kebab it was really scrummy, the vegetarian kebab and fish and chips all of which were lovely hot and tasty. The staff were so polite and very courteous. Can honestly say this is my new takeaway place of delight.

Local chippy has been taken over really good

Simply the best lovely people xx

Great little chippy doing everything a chippy can. Great prices and huge portions. Always been freshly cooked when we have called. Well worth a try.

The staff are pretty friendly from the two times I have visited, the food takes a while but it quite nice. No complaints really.

Great chippy that also does pizza, kebabs etc etc! Also does home delivery, bonus!

Great chippy friendly staff and beautiful food

They are literally a 10 minute drive from my address (I am currently injured so couldn't collect my order) and immediately after ordering they added 20 minutes to my delivery time meaning a basic order of chips, gravy and a pie would take 1 hour and 10 minutes. My takeaway was due at 18:30 and at 18:26 I receive a notification stating they were delayed by another 20 minutes! I rang up to cancel as half of this food was for my god daughter who's bedtime is at 7pm so I had to cancel our treat and rush to make something else. The woman who I spoke to was rude and blunt and couldn't care less at the inconviniece caused. The service is absolutely atrocious and quite frankly a joke. First and last time ordering from here.

Decent food, but chips always seem to taste like they've been cooked in old oil
