The Codfather

Update: Owner was kind enough to followup on a voucher and ensured that I get what was promised. I hope this was the last time I faced this issue. Extremely bad experience with Codfather. I ordered via app and picked up my order. Only to realise at home that one large cod was missing from my order. Called them back and their simple answer was that they will send me a voucher. Though I am still waiting for a voucher 2 days later but our whole evening was ruined as it take lot of time and effort for pickup and to realise it was all gone for a waste.

Great food and a great selection of food. One of the best chip-shops I've ever been to. The quality of the ingredients and the high standard of hygiene evident are very reassuring. The staff are competent and courteous the speed of service is impressive. The location is very convenient and parking is easy and plentiful. Overall, an example of how a chip shop should be operating. One of the few local chip shops doing Spam Fritters, and the salted caramel churros are highly addictive, BEWARE.

Service was very fast. The staff were lovely, very friendly and inviting. Inside was very clean. Food was cooked to a brilliant standard, possibly the best fish and chips I've ever had. Plenty of choice. Over all impeccable expirance will be returning. Would recommend to anyone looking for a lovely meal.

The Cod here in my opinion is the best i have tried in the South East, the fish itself it buttery, delicious and clean & has no strong smell which indicates its a good quality grade of fresh/fresh frozen fish. The batter is what makes it though, its light, crispy and has amazing aeration which results in it holding no excess grease from the fryer which is what makes some of best fish and chips shops around the country. Cant comment on the Haddock or other cuts of fish as i have never tried them, but im sure they are equally as good. The chips on the other hand are decent, but i can name 2-3 others in Aylesbury that do better ones. The problem i always found is that the chips here dont get enough time in the fryer and as a result are a bit soggy, cooked through of course, but not exactly on point like the fish which lets it down slightly. Having said that i dont go often in at all in a year (although wish i could), so since that point things on the chip side have improved as i always thought it was preventing them from being the total package. Side note the menu is really varied, i see they have started doing milkshakes now as well and not got around it much, but the choclate Churros are a must, seriously an amazing desert option to try as they come hot. All in all i'm rating them 5 star as i have been going for many years, albeit not as much as i would like to visit as previously mentioned. However one slight problem.... Yesterday looking forward to returning, i went around 9:10-9:15pm and and i was the only one there, however they told me they stopped cooking and they only have chips and a saveloy to offer, i declined and left. I see a few other low reviews mentioning this and if they want to shut at 9.00pm then please to the manager i suggest updating Google as it clearly states closing time midweek is 9:30pm, if you say your shutting at a certain time then all food should be served till then regardless if its quiet or not as its a wasted journey. Items running out i understand but staff shutting down early in a non sit down place, because they just feel like it due to it being quiet when 15 mins difference is not reflective of the timings on Google, then this should be way more clear. Anyhow, hopefully next time i can get a meal here again as its been some time since my last takeaway from this great establishment and irrespective of this i will keep my review as 5 stars.

I Pre Ordered back in March 20+ portions for a surprise birthday party. Paid the deposit and would confirm the order the day before the party in May. The day before the party I popped in to confirm the order which was now 31 varying portions of fish and chips, pie And chips and sausage and chips. They tallied up the balance to be paid on delivery and confirmed all the delivery details. Upon delivery, which was bang on time, all food was piping hot, every box was labelled, and everything was correct, which for an order that size I think was pretty impressive. Balance was paid with a receipt provided. Everyone finished their dinner, even the 9 year old ! Everyone commented on how fresh and hot the food was and obviously delicious by the empty boxes. The stress of organising a surprise party was immense but the one thing I didn't have to worry about was the food! Codfather, you were efficient, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. I cannot fault the food or the service and will continue to use you as we have done over the years. You certainly have 30 new customers from our party guests ! A* !

Edit to original review below: Has now been resolved by Nik who has been very helpful and apologetic once he was made aware of the issue. He dealt with it very quickly and I am happy with the outcome. Thanks Nik Ordered through the just eat app and when the delivery came, there were 7 separate items missing from the order. Called them to be told to come and collect and that they could not bring the missing items! The reason I ordered was because I could not collect in the first place! Very bad attitude from the person on the phone and was told to ask for a refund from Just Eat. What great customer service, not! Just Eat it turns out are just as bad and we are nearly 2 weeks on now and still no refund. Very bad experience and will never use them again if this is how they treat their customers.

Can be variable but today the food was pretty good, apart from rather soggy batter on the fish. Pity the staff are always unfriendly at Jackson Rd. No smile, no greeting, barely polite. And when ordering using the app I hardly ever receive a message to say the food is ready. Really annoying. However, the other chippies in Aylesbury are poor, so this is the best option.
