The Codfather - Basildon

Beautiful white fish, especially skate, which is not always readily available. Friendly staff and good value for money.

£3.50 for this? I looked about for a grill and thought maybe it's in the back. Asked for a cheeseburger anyway. The guy hesitated then said ok no problem, of course it was no problem you gave me a pre-cooked burger with microwaved cheese on the bun, reminded me of a garage version but even worse. Never again! Chips were slimey too. (see photo) binned the lot.

Having tried all the local Chip Shops in Billericay.. this is by far the best. The quality is outstanding along with the service and friendly staff and owner. I would give it 10 stars if i could.

Came in with special dietary requirements and couldn’t have been more informative and helpful, went out of their way to ensure what I needed was made in the most accommodating way possible, even being insistent it wasn’t an issue. Would 100% use again, great food and great staff!

The food is good (I tried fish and chips, some pie and English breakfast) and the waiters and waitressed are very very kind and make you feel welcome. Prices are low, so I recommend eating here!
