The Codfather in Colchester

This is our go to place for fish and chips turns up rapid after ordering and the chips are amazing !

Original review was 5* ,Now reduced to 3*. Prices have gone up (as expected) ,but the quality has dropped. recently visted and ordered-small cod + chips and a double chicken fillet burger. The cod wasn't particually great and the chips looked like they were the dreggs of that batch. The chicken fillet burger with mayo and letace didn't taste that nice at all, to top it all off ,they used gem lettace instead of icberg which is sweet and crunchy. Going to AVOID for a while

Ordered food Saturday lunch time. Cant think of one thing wrong. Quick delivery and food was outstanding!!! Highly recommended.

Food was delivered only warm & my order was incomplete. Tried to get the missing food delivered but told no drivers available so would refund. Sent me a request for the money not a refund then when I phoned they said they’d contact the company to refund which of course didn’t happen. Food quality ok apart from temperature but customer service appalling

Went their tonight for the first time and was definitely the last.If you like all the dregs, barely warm and greasy chips then this is perfect for you.Had about 12 chips and that was 12 too many.How they can serve that slop is beyond me.Waste of money and if I can help others not to make the same mistake I did then at least that makes me feel better.Should change their name to the Rankfather.

Ordered through Deliveroo at 17.30 and informed delivery would be at 18.30. When it finally arrived at 19.10 the chips were luke warm and soggy as was the fish batter. The whole point of a decent chippy is nice hot crispy chips and batter. In the end i had to go out and out and buy the 3 meals again from Nindys. Shop is only 1.3 miles away so 1hr 40mins for delivery is pathetic. They use their own drivers so Deliveroo not to blame. Used to. E a good chippy with delivery in about 30 mins. Will never use them again. Nindys every time from now on.

This is the only place I like to go for a fish n chip takeaway. Always fresh, piping hot and delicious. Only wish they would add some sort of halloumi to the menu.

If you actually want to eat I suggest you do not order from here. I placed an order through just eat at 18.05. It apparently got delivered at 19.15. When I chased it I was told it was on its way. Again at 7.45pm it has still not arrived so chased it to be told driver was in the area. Come 8.30pm the order was still not here and it never arrived. Absolutely useless. Last time we ordered nothing was wrong and food was perfect but it seems very hit or miss. We didn’t receive any food and I’m currently fighting for a refund through just eat.

Very disappointed! We visited at 15.45 Friday. Ate our Cod and chips sitting on a bench outside. The Cod was fine but the chips weren't even hot. We took them back to show the assistant , He didn't understand what we were saying as he had limited English.Last time we went we just had chips and they weren't hot, the Assistant was very apologetic and cooked a fresh lot .This place is normally so good that we have recommended it.

Nice little chippy selling the usual as you'd expect. The staff were polite especially the young lady, the fella on the frier I don't think said one world the entire time I was in there.I thought it was priced reasonably too.
