Amazing staff, very friendly and recognise local regulars. The food it brilliant and by far the best fish and chips we have had. 100% recommend.

Visited The Codfather in Sudbury after hearing other people's reviews. I settled on a large haddock and chips, with mushy peas and curry sauce, with my obligatory black coffee.
I certainly wasn't disappointed when my food arrived. Lovely crisp batter on my rich fresh fish, nice crisp chips and lovely sides, it also came with a wedge of lemon and tartar sauce.
The fish was fantastic and is delivered regularly from Grimsby or Billingsgate Market and as you would expect is fully traceable, back to the boat that landed it.
Food was great.
Staff were friendly and attentive, but not constantly checking on you.
The venue was bright, clean comfortable and relaxing

Was invited here for lunch by my parents. Having been previously curious about visiting the restaurant, I naturally jumped at the chance. I had a large fried cod. The chips were to die for as others have mentioned, and the size of the meal was very adequate. Be hungry... Regarding takeaway, I think it's a mistake to not eat this sort of quality as soon as it's served, rather than drive it home 5 miles 1st. It seems the grumblers are doing this.
Personally, I very much enjoyed it and happily stuffed my face. Haha

Lovely food, only had takeaway haddock and chips so not an enormous trial of their menu but what I had was very nice. Chips are huge but tasty. Slightly expensive but on a Sunday night when everything else is closed it's a selers market so can't really complain. I'd go again.

Nice place to go for fish and chips. Very good menu and good service. Food was lovely and very tasty. The large cod and chips was excellent. Well worth a visit.
Hope to return soon

One of the best fish and chip shops I’ve been too. Both take away and eat in is good. Scampi is perhaps the best I’ve eaten. Fish is really good and chips are nice. Service good in the restaurant I would recommend it if you want a chippy fix.

Traveling from the United States me and my fiance tried this place out. We ordered the vegan calamari and the vegan fish and chips. The calamari is real delight to eat. The vegan fish is ok to say the least. I felt like it was missing something in flavor.
But it was still edible regardless. The service was also ok, but I was a bit confused with the 10% service charge. I've been to restaurants in the states where a service charge is added if it was over a several amount of people. But the fact that we ate as just myself and my fiancé did throw me off a little. Overall, in the end its still a good and nice restaurant.
I even liked the decor as well.

Have enjoyed a chippy tea here many times. Always a great selection of fresh fish to choose from and some good options if you don't want fish and chips. Tempura king prawns are delicious!

Visited on a Sunday around 2 food was amazing restaurant wasn't very busy so didn't wait to long for meal. Plenty of options on menu if you don't want fish. Portions a good size including salad. I opted for scallops served around 6 scallops nice size with chunky chips and salad. Would say bit too much salad dressing for my liking but that's just my taste. Would say some background music would enhance the ambience of the restaurant . Definitely be going back

Great fish and chips, their curry sauce is one of my favourites.
The service is friendly and attentive.
The first time we had fish and chips here was great but the second time the fish was more oily and not as crispy.
