The Codfather in Brighton and Hove

I visited here recently ...lets just say hygiene was not high on the list. Old bowls of batter left in the public area and what looked like dirty dismantled bike parts all over the place. I used to go here often when i lived in the atea, thought i would drop in for a tasty treat but it seems old owners have moved on. I ordered and took food home, unwrapped it and threw it in the bin ..full of greese and smelt like dirty oil.

Ordered 2 cod and chips. Well let's just say the food was nothing short of disgraceful. The chips were over done and the cod had a bitter taste like it had been sitting around for a long time. Then to top it off when I complained the driver came to give me my money back and he was the first little (I wont swear) but you all get the idea. I'd rather starve then ever eat from here again. You've all been warned.

The owner and his family are very likeable. The food is not haute cuisine and I would not expect that. The menu is VAST. If you fancy a spot of roast duck chow mein this place owns it, oh and king prawn foo yung is pretty amazing too. I often buy a jumbo sausage whilst waiting. The ingredients of that will no doubt finish me off, but timing wise, my food is ready as I chomp the last bite.

My prawn crackers tasted of cod, clearly cooked in the same oil as the fish... 👎🏻

They do good fish and chips and Chinese. You should totally get takeout there, they're lovely people and they could use the business.

Good fish and chips and excellent Chinese dishes at some of the best prices in town.

Fish, chips and mini spring rolls all tasted horrible...looked over done but judging from my own experience, working in a kitchen, I would say their oil is not fresh enough, pretty disgusting.

Great place. Good haddock and chips and excellent duck.

Good chips, always a bit of a long wait

Good local takeaway with friendly staff, nothing to ever grumble about as long as you're expecting a normal fish and chip shop
