The famous codfather fish bar in Hastings

We sat at a table outside which is effectively take away. We had three fish and one large chips to share which was plenty. The cod was excellent quality and very large. Unfortunately the haddock was of lesser quality, quite thin and brown in places. The chips were very nice. Prices are reasonable.

Popped in around midday and we both had cod and chips, one with mushy peas one with garden peas. All cooked fresh with a nice piece of cod in light crispy batter and a generous portion of chips. Decent cup.pf tea as well. Great service and thoroughly recommended.

Great chips & the fish was perfect. The staff were very attentive, I dropped my knife and before I could even look for it they had brought me a fresh one. Location is just before the old town & the prices were reasonable.

Excellent food and service. Extremely polite and friendly staff. Food cooked within a decent time. Clean and tidy tables.

Excellent Service, Excellent Fish & Chips, all cooked fresh, well presented , staff are always friendly, well turned out, & happy to help. I'm there usually twice a month, been going for about two years now, never had a bad meal. One of the best in Hastings 👍

A lovely Sunday at the beach with the family. Decided to search for the best fish and chips around and after some research, I came across this establishment. Instantaneously, I was disappointed by the service. The woman at the takeaway till with black hair and tattoos, was extremely RACIST and down right RUDE. The food was as disappointing as the service. Saw the chef wipe his face and pick up the batter in the same hand. The service and food were both absolutely disgusting. PLEASE DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE.

My family and I visited Aug 24. Lady with the eyebrows at the takeaway point customer service is appalling. I simply asked for one of our meals to have no salt on the chips and she huffed and puffed like I was asking for the world. Food was amazing however she did leave out certain parts of the order.

Woman at the takeaway ordering point had a real attitude! Check your order before you leave, we ordered curry sauce and gherkins with our meal, none of which were in the bag. The rubbish customer service let this place down. The food was very good.

This is hands down the best fish and chips I've ever had. The chips are just the right balance of crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy inside, the cod is soft and delicious with a crunchy shell. Even the curry sauce is the best I've ever had. Staff are friendly and welcoming, they are dog friendly, reasonably priced. Get to Hastings seafront now!

Excellent cod and chips! Visited on the 3rd of June and had lovely cod and chips. Very clean and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Really enjoyed our fish and chip supper here on this gorgeous spring Friday. Mushy peas were excellent too, and enough for two. It was lovely, friendly service too in a small, clean and cosy dining room. Would definitely come back here again!

Perfect fish and chips. Service was great as well. We were a group of 8 and everything went very well. You need to book as it seemed to be very popular.

Disappointed with mine no different to the children’s portion looked nothing like the photos on what we had I would not recommend it which is a shame as a local we always went there no more a waste of money

Excellent chips, well cooked and crispy. Owner only uses groundnut oil, not cheaper alternatives. Highly recommended

We always go here when in Hastings as normally excellent. Fish today was great and well cooked and very tasty, but the chips tasted a little old and not fresh. Like they were reheated. Hopefully just a one off.

Comme son nom l'indique, le fish & chips est "famous", frais, délicieux, topissime 😁 Petit établissement sans prétention avec un excellent rapport qualité/prix, notre meilleur repas en Angleterre !

Drove from Maidstone just to have the Codfather’s fish and chips. Never disappoints. Welcome smile and chat from all the staff. Ordered the haddock and cod, both with chips. Absolutely outstanding. The fish just flaked beautifully and the chips were proper chips not those milky white offerings you get elsewhere. Fantastic food, great staff. What more do you want.

The best fish and chips in the south east. Absolutely delicious. Well worth the trip from mid Kent. Good value for money too!

Great little find freshly cooked fish and chips, perfect and friendly girls serving, we'll be back.

Friendly staff. Clean restaurant. Fish and chips cooked to order. Everything was tasty and not dripping in grease like some places I've been to

Great fish and chip shop fresh and tasty. Pleasant staff welcoming.best in Hastings Bern a few times better than other fish and chips in Hastings

A first rate fish and chips restaurant, if you are in the area and are hungry this is the place to go , the restaurant is very comfortable as well

Beautiful chips. Shame it was closed Thursday as we were going to get cod n chips. We had to go to another choo shop instead.

£2 for a can of coke is kinda crazy. the portion are a scam for the amount of money u spend. decent quality food change your oil in your car because its what they use to fry fish. i need the toilet

We always visit this fish and chip shop when ever we are in Hastings .. The food is great here ...lovely welcome and friendly staff will definitely be returning thats for sure

One of the best if not the best chippy for a sit down meal down the old town of Hastings. Pleasant friendly staff great service A1+ & good value.

Some of the best chip shop chips I’ve eaten (and I’ve eaten a lot!). Next time I will try the fish as well Highly recommended

We’ve been here twice in the last month, once in the evening as a couple and once during the day with our daughter. We were very impressed both times with the quality of the service and food and would highly recommend it.

We saw this place was well rated so decided to give it a go rather than any of the other numerous fish and chip restaurants. They weren't busy which also suited us. We had haddock and chips.. Service was very good and we didn't have...

I recently visited the Cod Father after reading the excellent reviews, however I was disappointed and I am sure the cod was not fresh and the chips were very average.

My fish was dry and had very hard almost burnt batter. This is not the first time I have been served cold, inedible food by The Codfather.

If you like fish'n'chips you'll love the Cod Father. It really is as good as it gets. What's more it sounds like God Father ! Someone told me the Godfather film was written after the writer went to the Cod Father during a visit to...

Popped in here for a takeaway, I had cod and chips and my husband had haddock and chips. Haddock was cooked fresh, which meant a bit of a wait but totally worth it. We waited outside, our food was brought out to us with an...

Visited here last night, so pleased we did. I had haddock,chips with a side salad,husband had rock and chips. We both thoroughly enjoyed the food. Fish very fresh,chips really crispy. Spotlessly clean and great friendly service.

Ok portions, but saturated in fat / grease, so spoilt it , can’t understand why they don’t drain the fish when it comes out of the fryer

Excellent fish and chips in the heart of Hastings with incredible service for a Saturday night. We just walked in and got seated straight away by the window. Would definitely come back here!

During our week long holiday, I have craved traditional fish and chips and today I gave into temptation. Our trip to Hastings was topped off with a visit to the Cod Father!! Checked out the reviews on here and decided this was the place for...

Amazing fish and chips the best I have had in a long time the batter was light and crispy was not greasy at all and the chips where lovely and crispy like triple fried chips would 100% recommended

Ordered a take away which was cooked whilst I waited. Wasn't worth the 10 minute wait, all three pieces of cod fillet were small, dry and over cooked. The chips were greasy with most of it soaked in the wrapping paper.I There must be better...

Although the staff were fine working under duress, unfortunately the cod was served with the skin on. Now when you are used to skinless fish this can be off putting. Price was reasonable and food arrived promptly. .

As me and my partner were on a little getaway we came to Hastings from Worthing and thought fish and chips on the seafront had to be done. As we wondered along the prom noticed that some places were crazy expensive and then found the...

As a fish and chip connoisseur I can say with an informed opinion that this is the best Fish and Chip shop in Hastings. The portions are generous and the food is awesome! Highly recommended!

This little gem of a place served up piping hot fish and chips. It tasted delicious would highly recommend. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. It's worth visit.

6 adults, 2 kids, 1 baby, all happy. Everything is cooked fresh, chips were delicious, proper chipshop chips. Between us we had savaloys, sausage in batter, cod roe and fish. All were fantastic. Staff were excellent, it was like popping into a local. They were...

Freshly cooked food; lovely quality; generous portions; friendly, helpful staff. What a find - we're now nicely refuelled for the drive home.

We went for takeaway. All the tables outside had people on them even though it was a bit chilly, and there was a queue for the takeaway. Great chips and good crispy batter on the fish which was very hot, and not greasy at all....

I stopped here for lunch whilst cycling and found the food to be amazing. The chips were cooked to perfection, a little crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. A good size portion and the staff asking if id like more. The sausage...

On a day trip to Hastings my husband and I decided to have some fish and chips. We hadn't eaten at this particular shop before but decided to give it a go. We requested skinless cod which was not an issue at all. We must...

Visited Hastings today with the wife and kids and amongst all the fried food outlets we chose this for lunch as there was a banner adorning the premises "award winning".....if its good enough for critics.... We chose to takeaway as we wanted to walk along...

The restaurant is mainly a takeaway fish and chip bar with tables inside and out. Our cod was good, the chips ok and the peas and drinks we ordered were nearly forgotten. The shop was constantly busy so it is obviously popular but there is...

The food was extremely good. The servers were really hard working and friendly. It is little but we managed to find a table. A lady after had a pushchair and they were helpful getting her in. It is really reasonable for the area and the...

Second time of eating at the Codfather, having been a chip shop owner myself, must say the food served from here is absolutely first class , fresh , consistent, not greasy, really positive owner ( who I don’t know) . Excellent quality, good portion sizes....

Not sure I understand the one or two negative reviews; perhaps the normal cook was on holiday? We had cod, chips and mushy peas and it was quite simply one of the best we've ever had. The batter was in no way oily and was...

We had 2 cods chips and curry sauce and it was the best bar we have visited in the past few weeks on our seaside holiday. Crispy batter and not too oily with very attentive and friendly staff. I highly recommend to visit :) thank...
