Codfather - Rhondda Cynon Taf

Great food here, one of the very best i've been to amongst many. If there was one issue i'd say the portions are smaller than they used to be. The fish usually fits in the box now used to have to be folded at the tail end! The portions of chips are much smaller too. The opening times are not great i'd suggest with early closing in the evening. However it's definitely worth a visit i'll get my fish chips or chicken curry off the bone there again for sure as i live locally.

It’s fair to say that this was probably the best takeaway fish chips I’ve ever had. Airy and crispy batter, proper cod and and a lot of it. Even the chips were double cooked and crispy. We went there because of the funny name, but will go back because of the excellent fish chips.

I would like too start by saying if you haven’t had any food from the codfather you ain’t lived this place hands down never fails the best fish and chips ever from the warm welcoming to the fresh fish cooked perfectly batter is the right texture chips are too die for even when your full you won’t leave a scrap it’s that nice I don’t have fish and chips all the time but when I do I travel from Cardiff to the codfather highly recommended .

We visited Pontypridd with the intention of buying some Christmas presents from the indoor market, Warren James the Jewellers, H Samuels, B M Bargains, Pep Co, Savers, Shaw's, and Boots. Once we finished the shopping, we visited the Park which was absolutely beautiful. From the Park we took a short stroll to the retail park to buy more presents from B Q and Argos. Whilst there we googled local chip shops and decided to visit the Codfather. The chippy was a little off the beacon track, but was a great find. We ordered jumbo sausage in batter, steak and kidney pie and two large bags of chips. The portion sizes were excellent and the prices were very good. We walked back to the Park to eat our food which was still piping hot. The food was delicious and we will definitely be returning. After eating we did our weekly shop at Iceland before heading home to wrap the presents. We can't wait to visit both Pontypridd and the Codfather soon.

Always start with a positive all credit to them for being one of the very few open at this difficult time......but hugely overpriced for the tiniest portions I’ve seen in many years. I ordered one large fish and large chips and one small fish and small chips price £15.80, which is a good couple of pounds more than I normally pay for far smaller portions than I get from my local chippies. When I got home there was absolutely no difference between the portions....both VERY small certainly far from what you’d call plate fillers (unless of course you normally eat off a side plate). Fish too big for the big box someone has previously stated.......you have to be joking! I’ve read other comments saying these are the best fish and chips people have ever tasted....really? You clearly need to widen your horizons.
