The Codmother in Isle of Anglesey

Best fish & chips on the island. The online ordering works perfectly and staff so pleasant. I usually get small cod, small chips & mushy peas. Generous size meal I struggle to finish.

This place is disgraceful place to eat from and to work in. Workers have found moldy bag of potatoes, that were left for at least a week out in the sun. When i entered the chippy , it smelt like crap. Workers have been illegally given occupation. Even under age people work at the fryer as recently was stated in another review that nobody underage has ever worked the fryer. The battered fish look frozen and burnt at the same time, HOW DID YOU MANAGE THIS?, the chips looked green, usually green chips are normal not when 1/3 chip was green then i know something is an issue, COMPLETELY GREEN, JUST LIKE SHREKS FINGERS. Go to the red squirrel instead

We were recommended to come to The Codmother by the owner of a local holiday cottage. Definitely pleased we took notice, as the fish and chips here were absolutely delicious! It probably is best to order on line, but we stopped by en route back to the accommodation. There is a wait, but everything is cooked fresh. Really enjoyed the quality of the chips, the fish being some of the best cooked we’d had , plus a very good portion size. Thank you, you gave us a lovely tea.

Diamond of a Fish and Chip supper from this place whilst we holidayed in Newborough. All food ordered was very tasty and would definitely recommend!

After a 30 minute wait, poor quality food with anaemic chips and an ok fish. The lady who served at the till was the only friendly member of staff.

The Cod and chips my wife and I had were cooked to order. It does mean a little wait,buy its much better than shops who use a hot plate to keep food hot for long periods. The fish and batter were done to perfection and went really well with nice chips. This is our third visit here whilst on holiday and they have not yet let us down

Great food, very reasonable in price and good portions friendly service. Would recommend booking in advance as we obtained the last portions of chips,

Excellent fish. Called in to see if they had gluten free options as I'm Coeliac but unfortunately they didn't. Glad they were honest. Staff were helpful, clean looking place and excellent cod for other family member. Highly recommend. Will call again👍

THE BEST fish and chips in a long time Came highly recommended and did not disappoint Enjoyed fish and chips, curry sauce which was perfectly cooked, lovely portion size and enjoyed on the beach in the lovely weather Delicious, fresh and perfectly seasoned! Top quality and excellent menu choice too! Will be back again without a doubt!!!

Great set up for contactless and social distancing. Long wait for food (as expected as only chippy in the village) so not an issue. Was advised when ordering about the wait time. Food was lovely and lots of choice

Loved our visit here today. Brilliant! The chips were delicious, as was the cod that we had. Super service with a smile.

Don’t really like fish and chips that much. Chips are greasy wherever you go. More of a french fries. person. Usually fish is greasy as well, so no matter how much I look forward to fish and chips, I usually regret having it afterwards. The fish here though was really, really good. Not greasy at all and very tasty. Probably best I ever had. One criticism: please provide a rubbish bin.

Shame on you! Happy to serve tourist but not your locals that keeps you going. Yes we understood that you were closing at 8pm and we were asking for chips and gravy only at 7:30pm. We were a paying customer. Was lovely to see you handing out free food after 8pm though. As a customer that comes at least once a week, i am very disappointed.

We made a special trip To go there on Tuesday but it was closed and looked all shut up Shame as was so recommended.

Best fish and chips I've had in years. The chips were just the right size and cooked to perfection - crisp and not soggy like so many are these days. Husband and son had sausage and were equally impressed. We'll definitely be back.

Over priced revolting food Ordered large chips and a cod twice Firstly large chips was placed sparingly on a very small Tray, my child could hold the Trey in one hand it was that small....And the fish was just as small. We didn’t even eat the meal Chips tasted disgusting very greasy and bitter nasty taste to them As for the fish batter was rock hard And the fish was wafer thin The produce used was obviously cheap and they have the cheek to charge over the odds absolutely ridiculous. I won’t be coming here again 3 times I’ve tried this place and 3 times it’s been horrible. I’d rather travel to Bangor and get proper fish and chips and half the price. How is this place still trading. I’d avoid this place save your money and eating horrible food.

Whilst on holiday nearby, decided to stay in for a night, pre ordered fish& chip supper, was ready when we arrived, nice meaty cod, loads of chips, piping hot, proper mushy peas. Defo would recommend.

Whilst staying nearby in self catering accommodation, we phoned through an order and was quickly and politely received. Driving out to pick up Cod 'n'; Chips twice I found parking easy and the Fish and chip shop very clean, efficient and only kept me waiting a minute or so whilst my order was wrapped. It really was a pretty good meal and the service was excellent.

Stayed in the local area and had driven past the Codmother several times. Ordered online which was not the easiest website to navigate and ended up with an order on the wrong day! However.., went to collect at the time on the emailed order and everything was ready and packed in the heated box awaiting us. Ordered cod, chips and curry sauce. All absolutely beautiful. Not greasy, crispy and really tasty. Fish was great quality and very fresh. Great potion size. Good to be able to opt whether to have condiments added or without any. Not a scrap was left on either plate after we’d devoured the meal! Very organised shop , and in spite of difficult website, great value for money. Don’t eat fish and chips very often but will live in memory for a long time!

Unbelievably, I have tried twice to get food from this fish and chip shop, and have failed both times. The first time I turned up 'on spec' and would have had to wait nearly an hour for food, so gave up. The second time I required a delivery. I thought I would be able to order and pay in person in advance and then my order could be delivered. Wrong! I had to order online. So I tried this route and there was an error page on the website and also an error via Facebook. So I tried to phone an order for delivery, explaining my difficulties. No, it was impossible to have a phoned order delivered (and only half a mile at that). I was told only online orders could be delivered. Grrrrrr! I lost the will to live and gave up.

I am obsessed with the chips here. They are divine! Fresh, soft inside and crispy and gnarled on the outside. Beautifully cooked. I travel miles to this chippy because they are best in Anglesey I would say.

In previous visits to Anglesey, my friends and I have tried Scarlett’s and The Golden Fry. Both lovely. This year, with the pandemic, we wanted somewhere we could click and collect. We tried codmother based on positive reviews. Fantastic!!Click and collect worked very well indeed. Ordered online and paid online. Given a 5 min slot to collect. Arrived, and my food was ready. Staff have a table blocking the door, so no need to go inside. Confirmed who I was and I was passed my bag of food. The food was amazing. Large pieces of delicious fish with crisp batter. A generous portion of lovely chips. The mushy peas and Chinese curry sauce were great. The fruity curry sauce was to die for. This is my new favourite fish and chip place on the Island.

Visited while on holiday nearby.Called in on our first night and their system for ordering during this pandemic seemed well organised. Was advised on arrival at the door that the wait time was 30 minutes. Not a problem as we were staying 2 minutes away. There was also online ordering available for them too but wait times appeared longer still.When we collected food it was being packed ready for us so was good to see it had not been sat for any time going soggy etcWe took the short drive up to cable bay to enjoy our food looking out to sea as the sun was beginning to set.Food was delicious, fish, chips, sausages,curry sauce (fruity) all very tasty not soggy or too greasy. Thoroughly enjoyed.Like anywhere at the moment expect a wait for your food or order well in advance. We will return for sure.

Excellent chippy after a day at Newborough Forest. Very friendly and well setup for the current situation. You can order at the collection window from outside. Fish and chips were lovely would recommend.

You need to get organised, even pre covid it was a horror. I thought the pre ordering system would make things better but no 20 mins wait last night, loads of people waiting outside some will be even more frustrated than me when they find they have to pre order. Fish was over done and peas asked for separately came on top.

Ordered online, ready when promised and the best fish & chips we’ve had in years. Calamari highly recommended… 10/10

Ordered online, booked time to collect and order was ready on time. Really nice fish & chips and peas would 100% recommend

Excellent food and service, great value for money, the fish is outstanding delivered to my door piping hot

Went to the beach for the day. Last minute decision ordered takeaway on line from the codmother. Such a easy experience pick up my food at 5pm. Food was there waiting for me hot and fresh. Could fault the customer service. Definitely will do again. 10/10

Very good cod, chips and mushy peas. Also nice to find a chip shop that also does Chinese curry sauce.

it was great thanks, was ready for collection at the time agreed. Quantity rather more than we needed Judy

Having all arrived at different times at the campsite this super little chippy took our order over the phone and we popped in to collect it. Great fish, nice chips - nothing was left on the plates!!

During the week I spent in Newborough I only went there once unfortunately. Like everything else in the village it's great value and a proper portion.

We stayed just up the road from this shop and degiced to get a takeaway rather than cook on the first night. It was literally 1930 and there was no fish left and no suggestion of cooking more. We got the last of the chips and again no more being cooked. Customers after us would have had nothing to purchase so why not just cook more ???

Oh my - best fish & chips we’ve eaten in a long time! Cooked beautifully & not at all greasy. Friendly staff & reasonable prices. Thoroughly recommend

Loved this place for a quick meal, went a couple of time whilst staying nearby. Very good meaty, but not soggy, chips and fast, competent service. Thanks ladies!

Fish and chips cooked fresh to order, lovely crisp clean chips, daughter had fish, beautiful white and flakey

We popped in on a cold wet Thursday evening and got fish and chips to take away. Everything was freshly cooked, and the chips especially were perfect. Very friendly service too.

Bought fish and chips for the family. The food was great. All the materials used were environmentally friendly. I spoke to the owner and congratulated her on the effort she was making to go plastic free.

Best fish & chips I’ve had for ages. There was a long queue but there’s plenty of space to sit and chat and wait. Well worth it. The staff work non stop! Much appreciated.

A lovely chippy offering a wide and varied menu with all of the usual favourites. Cooked to order by friendly staff. We visited twice and the food was lovely.

Stopped here on the way home from the beach. Really delicious fish & chips, good portion sizes and good value. Nice little seating area inside which was perfect for our gang of kids! Thank you.

We are staying nearby so popped in to collect dinner for six tonight. The staff are very friendly and the fish and chips lovely - possibly the tastiest I’ve had! Crispy not soggy. We headed off to Newborough Beach to eat it on the picnic tables (parking is foc after 6) followed by a walk and kite flying on the beach. Perfect!

Popped in first time after an evening stroll on Newborough beach. Had to wait about ten minutes as my fish an Cathy’s scampi was cooked to order. The food was so good we used it again later in the week. Chips fresh and not greasy and the best batter outside of Whitby. Staff were friendly and didn’t discriminate between locals and tourists.

After a day at the newbourgh beach we went for something to eat, in the nearby village there is a chippy, premier shop and pub. Parking is either a small car park up the road or some on road parking.

This is a small friendly village chippy that obviously serves the locally community well all year around.

Fab chippy. Great chips - not greasy, tasty, crisp and cooked in clean oil. Super service - very friendly.

Good quality traditional fish and chips. Either eat in or take away. Seating area for about 15 - 20 people

7 large fish and chips- scrummy!!!! Just the right portion sizes- perfect! 😋 Will return -Thank you

Benji loves cod and the fish from here was really excellent and woofed up!!!

I would just like to say thankyou for staying open a little later last night so we could have some tea. We popped into the chippy from being in the pub, where the ladies were very welcoming and took our large order. The fish and chips were delicious! Thanks for the Yorkshire Roses x

The staff were friendly and well presented. Parking just around the corner. Some tables for eating in available. 8 people on holiday and on first night we went for a takeout fish and chip supper. Excellent fish a chips, good portions, not greasy and most of all it did not sit heavily on your stomach. Wish this was nearer to home. They gave us their phone number so we could pre order next time and just pick up.

On a weekday in the low season it was very quiet and the fish was fried to order, which was great. Perfectly cooked and very tasty. Portions were very good and the price was reasonable. Recommended.

Visited here while we were staying on holiday nearby. Fabulous place! It was extremely busy as a party of walkers had just arrived, but we were still served quite quickly by friendly staff. Even though they were busy, still had time for a chat. I ordered squid and chips, very unusual for a chippy, and it was amazing! Chips were crisp and extremely tasty, and the squid.... crispy and delicious. I was given a choice of dips for the squid and chose plain mayo. My hubby had cod and chips, and the batter was beautifully crispy, not at all greasy. All in all, an amazing find!

Very friendly and chatty owner and staff. Great fish & chips too. So good we went twice! A real treat.

Visited The Codmother on Friday evening for a fish and chips tea for my family and friends.

Very friendly staff and well cooked fresh food. The fruity curry sauce was delicious! Prices reasonable.

On this rather rainy Friday night, me and a friend headed over to Newborough and The Codmother for a small Chips and a small Chips & Gravy. :-) I paid just short of £5 for both meals. I also took a few pictures of this really nice Chippy and chatted with the very pleasant staff. :-) The wider menu list also looked very pleasing, despite me being on a rather tight budget! :-)

Popped into the Codmother just as the shop was closing. The staff made a real effort to serve us despite the late hour and we were not disappointed. The chips were something to write home about - perfectly cooked and really flavoursome. The fish and peas were also very delicious. It was so tasty, we sat at our campsite eating in silence. Thanks very much!

When you read through the past reviews you soon see whose who? Stayed just outside Newborough on holiday but felt the past reviews were overall good. And the chips really are (& the fruity curry sauce too!). When a chipper says FISH rather than Cod or Haddock, my alarm bells start ringing, especially so close to the sea and its called 'the COD-mother'. The batter on the fish stuck to the paper like 'Marmite to a blanket' and the chips were just rammed on top so that everything was just a big pile of....well dog's dinner! Shame really as pre-wrapping, the fish looked good in the warmer above the fryer. All the locals who came in after me were served first despite my fish being ready so as I started this with the above opening line...some of the reviews of those who live here comment with a little too much bias me thinks. Overall meal was 'average' unless you like it all in one big fried pile.

We have been here many times before. Very friendly and delicious fish and chips too. We will be back.

I will say straight off that this is now my local chippy, having moved to Newborough back in October 2017. We've been only twice as we're not huge fish and chips eaters, but we know good fish and chips when we find them.

Nice fish shop with great service. Cod was excellent but a title greasy on three of the orders, but very over cooked on the fourth order. For a very small village, we were pleased with our experience and grateful for their presence.

Gorgeous food from a lovely family ran eatery near to lots of other local places of interest. Definitely recommend!

We had food from here 2 nights running whilst staying close by in a caravan. Delicious both times. Friendly service, great quality, varied choice & plentiful food. Can't ask for more. We will be back sometime again. Thank you.

Visiting from Manchester. Deliciously fresh fish and chips cooked to order. Portion sizes perfect. Comprehensive menu and very friendly service too! Will be back another time to try the pineapple fritters!

Arrived on holiday, it was getting late, wanted fish and chips and found this chip shop (standard story).

We really enjoyed our fish and chips from here. Also the staff are very chatty and friendly. Will definitely visit again.

Really feel like some of the reviews were a different place. The chips from here were over cooked and possibly reused oil. We bought two portions and threw most of them away.

We got a takeaway from here for the second year running during our recent holiday. On both occasions we telephoned our order in and collected at the given time. We did not have to wait more than a couple of minutes and the staff were friendly and welcoming.

Los niños locales y otros dos clientes en frente. Pedidos de cliente listo y a la izquierda. Orden mía, luego los niños tomadas luego de un par de otros clientes. Personal hizo grandes esfuerzos para charlar con los niños mientras que la preparación de su pedido y un par de clientes llegó a recoger. teléfono Después de 30 minutos preguntó dos niñas pululando alrededor detrás del mostrador si sería mucho más, dijeron que están ocupados. No servicio en un chippy normalmente más rápido cuando hay mucha gente? Después de 45 minutos y de haber sido preguntado por un cliente en la cola si es normalmente lento, finalmente recibí una porción de salchichas y patatas fritas.

Después de un día en la playa, que mejor que cenar pescado y chip. Delicioso recién preparado, gracias Codmother Newborough, Anglessey.

No ha sido en las edades, pero 10 / Comida servicio 10 genial era caliente y sabrosa. El personal era amable. El gerente abrió la cafetería abierta para nosotros tan servicial, nada era demasiado pedir. El "fish and chips" estaba tan ocupado, pero nunca esperé mucho tiempo para nuestra comida. Es caliente, fresco, no podía pedir nada más. Gracias

Absolutely superb freshly cooked delicious food, any time and a cheeky so usage for the Staffy waiting outside. Many thanks See you soon AGAIN. :)

Have been a regular customer for months,always good quality but last nights takeaway destroyed my faith for the future,the chips were ok,not brilliant, but the batter on the fish was full of grease,spent most of the night suffering from an upset stomach.Will be a long time before I visit again.

We had a fish supper here (take out) and the staff were very friendly, cooked our fish fresh to order and chatted whilst we waited. The fish was very good - thick, flavoursome and flaky as it should be - with good chips. Definately will be back and would recommend to all.

Being in the catering industry and constantly under criticism is not easy We enjoyed our visit with you And the food was lovely. Sorry we could'nt stay longer Thankyou

We were staying in Newborough on holiday and decided to have a night off cooking and try The Codmother and I'm glad we did. The fish and chips were lovely (not too greasy) and portions are generous. The staff were really friendly as well.I ended up going back the following night to get some chips for our dinner as well!We bought the fish and chips to eat at home but they did have some tables for people who wanted to eat in.I'd definitely go back next time we are in the area

We had take away fish and chips from the Codmother this evening. This place does good honest British chippy food at a very reasonable price. My wife and I were very impressed. Five star value in the southern end of Anglesey. Recommended

Within walking distance of our holiday rental. The fish was really tasty and very fresh Unfortunately there were no mushy peas due to a hick up with them. There is also a seating area in the shop, not sure if available for evening dining. Highly recommend.

We were staying near here and as we'd driven for what felt like 3 weeks to get here we decided to go fast food rather than go out or cook. This place seemed to have decent reviews so we gave it a go as it was near the cottage. Sadly the food was a disappointment. It wasn't the best fish, more sort of minced than flaked. Chips were average. Everything was just ok, nothing special.

If you want a great fish and chips, choice of other dishes, sides and puds then this is you place. Up the lane from the beach into the main street and you're sorted.However, this is a takeaway with a sit down facility. Basically translated to mean you sit at tables with lovely decorations and have you food served to you in the takeaway containers. Drinks are the same. This made sense to me as their prices are low and doing it this way means they don't have to fork out for expensive sterilising equipment and crockery .Food is great and good sized portions.

Visiting Newborough's Llandwynn beach again we decided to take fish and chips with us, we stopped at the Codmother and placed our order we had to wait a short while as everything is cooked fresh and served piping hot just as we like it , we all ate our meal and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it even the kids who normally waste half ate the lot i had the Cod which seems quite hard to get around here Haddock being easier to get than Cod ?? great to visit a chippy that is just that and not a kebab or burger bar all rolled into one the Codmother seems to concentrate on the traditional fish n chips pies etc and does it very well my only advice would be get some Saveloy's

My family visited here after an unexpected trek across newborough beach to the lighthouse. We were all so tired and hungry that we decided to stop for chips which I'm not normally a fan of. The chips and curry were amazing!!!! The staff were so kind, friendly and helpful and even offered for us to sit in the cafe section at no extra cost which was just what we needed after our windy walk. This place really is a hidden gem! Great staff, cute cafe area but most importantly the best chips we have ever tasted!!!!!!

Unassuming looking shop front in the extreme but they cook the best chips I've ever had - hands down: fluffy inside and a slight crunch outside. Fish extremely good too with crunchy batter. And then they go and be genuinely friendly added into the mix. While my local can do the friendly part they don't hold a candle to these women folk in charge of a fryer. You may have to wait a few mins as they are rightfully popular.

So good! We worked up an appetite on the beautiful beach. .which was just as well as the portions where huge. Really good fish and chips and lovely friendly staff .

Great food and understand gluten free diet fully. Very friendly staff and would definitely go again if over that way.

What a delightful "chippy". Friendly, fast and serving steaming hot fish, chips and mushy peas. What more could you want after a day on Newborough beach? Quality of food - exceptional! Not just any old chippy, but The Codmother of ALL chippies! You won't be disappointed.

Brilliant! friendly and well informed staff. I am on a Gluten free diet and the staff were able to make a gluten free batter for my fish which was simply the best I ever tasted! They were also able to tell us what sort of oil they used (palm) and that it was from a sustainable source. which meant that my sister who is allergic to rapeseed oil was also able to enjoy. The Anglesey potato chips even got Dad's seal of approval who normally moans about chip shop chips.

Stumbled across the exquistie venue on way to the lighthouse for some sunset viewing. Never had better. Customer service / feed.

After a bracing walk to Llandwyn against the wind and a lovely few hours on the island, then the long slog back to the Landy dragging children, we were all cold, hungry and thirsty on a wet Welsh Sunday late afternoon. As we drove through Newborough I could not believe our luck the Fish and Chip shops was open. I had no idea what the quality of the food would be like but anything was welcome at this moment. But I had no idea what a feast we would all enjoy. This was the best Fish and Chips I have had for a very long time. The cod was ENORMOUS! each one enough to feed at least two people. It was cooked perfectly, the batter was bright, dry and crisp, the fish fell into delicious sections, each slice s if individually coated in a fine juicy oil. The chips were perfect too, crunchy on the outside, floury in the middle. The staff were so helpful and accommodating towards us all and allowed us to each in their warm dining area, and gave us a doggie bag to take what we could not manage back home for the very appreciating cat. (I lie. I made it in to a fish pie!)

Absolutely brilliant service, ordered a breadcrumb fish that wasn't on the menu and the staff were more than happy to oblige & amazing chips. What more can you ask for? Highly recommended 5*

The staff are always happy to see you no matter how busy they are . The food is wonderful and the service is great . Highly recommend .

Arrived at this fish and chip shop for a take away at closing time and could not have been made more welcome. Charming and helpful staff and the most delicious jumbo haddock and chips we have tasted in a long time. A fabulous end to a beautiful day by the sea.

Called in at last minute when camping nearby, lady was about to close up but served me anyway and two other lots who came in after me. Very friendly and chatty, fish and chips very good

Stood waiting patiently for 20 minutes when it eventually became my turn to be served they took orders from 3 local people and didn't even acknowledge that I was stood there. Absolutely disgusted with this place. If your not from round there don't expect any service until they have served everyone else. Joke never again

Probably the best fish and chip i have eaten in UK. Very friendly. Nice village lost in the countryside, between sheeps.

Turned up at 8.15pm and it had just shut. But not only did they reopen but cooked to order a fantastic cod and chip supper. Very friendly and welcoming and deserving of any passing customer.

Made to feel very welcome to sit in by the owner and assistant, nothing was too much trouble. Had the best fish, chips and mushy peas ever. My Husband particularly commented to owner on mushy peas and she said they were homemade. You eat your fish and chips out the wrapper sitting down in a lovely clean area, does exactly what it says on the tin. Thank you.....

Been, here over the weekend I must say it was the best fish & chips I had in ages. Everything was made to order and fresh. Brilliant service made us welcome. 10/10
