What Clients Are Saying The Cod Father Fish & Chips (GG)
5 /5 Susie Wong: WOW amazing new fish & chip shop with something a bit different! My family love the scampi & battered sausage. I had a beautiful bit of battered skate wing - you could taste it was fresh - I work in catering and I love fish - I will defo have again! The chips were chunky & crunchy and it was all freshly cooked while we waited. Nice owner too! Keep up the good work!
5 /5 Nigel Parry: This shop has only recently reopened (formerly Salt & Vinegar) now renamed The Codfather with new owners.
Please note the less favourable reviews from over a year ago do not relate to the new owners or trading name.
Superb fish & Chips. Cooked to perfection. The homemade fish cakes are out of this world. An added bonus of Gluten Free on Tuesday & Wednesday plus they do my favourite fish Skate. Fish is also cooked to order so its always fresh & hot plus not greasy like many other shops.
Lovely guys very friendly & welcoming.
5 /5 Andy: Easily the best Fish & Chips is South Lancing. Cod father opened around summer of 2022 so reviews before that should be scrapped.
We ordered online and collected, food was good, not swimming in oil and you could tell it was fresh. Everyone enjoyed their food although the mushy peas were a bit of a miss
5 /5 Sam Stanley: Finally tried this chippy tonight, very happy I did!
I had the cod and wife had a jumbo sausage meal, kids both had sausage meals as well and they all loved it. Chips were great but the fish was perfect! Great value for money.
Service was impeccable as wel, friendly and welcoming. A great addition to the lancing high street
3 /5 M J: We used this place for the first time today. We first phoned to order, but nobody responded!! We decided to drive to the shop. Although the quality of the fish and the chips was excellent, there are some disappointing issues:
1)there is no option to choose the size of fish you want.
2) chips come as a unit with the fish and there is no option to choose the portion size separately, or no chips at all. As it happens in our case with the portion of chips allocated to one of us it was sufficient for both! The way their menu has been set up will lead to food waste.
3) too much packaging and rather posh. This makes the take away quite expensive in comparison with what other fish and chip places charge. The cardboard boxes are such a waste because they cannot be recycled as they get dirty with the oil from the food. It would be a much cheaper option and just as efficient to use paper.
Jay Huang Have been coming here for a few years ever since my Lebanese and Algerian classmates recommended this place. After the revamp prices have increased slightly but still reasonable, and the food is still as delicious. Excellent homemade bread, chicken wings and lamb chops!
Annie Howard Incredible food in a beautiful setting. The staff were very accommodating, squeezing us in on a busy day at short notice. At the venue, everyone was super friendly and helpful, even giving us tips for a local walk around the village. Vegan pub options can often be lacking, but the stuffed butternut squash was delicious. A perfect meal!
SJ A Our second visit to The Wild Rabbit was a perfect weekend break. Staying in one of the dog friendly cottage’s and dining in the restaurant (without the dogs). Service and welcome was impeccable. The food absolutely delicious. Wine list is very impressive too.
It’s fast becoming one of our favourite weekend getaways.
Thank you all for having us.
w z Had breakfast here for few days. Loved the foods, coffee, everything and the famous bagel from Beigel Bake Brick Lane is here too! Everyone was so nice, attentive and friendly. Always feels welcomed. Thanks again to Karim for the lovely service.
Faisal Mohammed I had an amazing experience at this Mandi restaurant! The food was incredibly flavorful, with perfectly cooked rice and tender, juicy meat that melted in the mouth. The spices were balanced beautifully, giving that authentic Mandi taste without being too heavy. The portions were generous, and the presentation was excellent.
