Situated on Botley Road, Hedge End, Southampton, the The Codfather menu has earned a loyal following for its dedication to serving some of the best traditional fish and chips in the area. From the outside, it looks like a classic British chippy, and inside it delivers exactly what customers expect — fresh, hearty portions and consistently good flavors. It’s the kind of place that suits both a quick takeaway and a relaxed sit-down meal with family.
The menu focuses on the essentials but executes them with care. Cod and haddock are the stars, fried to a golden crisp in light batter that locks in the tenderness of the fish. Chips are thick-cut, piping hot, and perfectly seasoned, making them the ideal pairing. Beyond fish and chips, the The Codfather menu also offers scampi, sausages, pies, and fried chicken, catering to a range of tastes. For those wanting a little extra, sides like mushy peas, curry sauce, and gravy round off the experience in true British style. Combination meals and family portions provide excellent value, especially for larger groups.
During my visit, I tried the large cod with chips and mushy peas. The fish was perfectly cooked, flaky inside with a crisp, golden batter that wasn’t overly greasy. The chips were fresh and satisfying, while the mushy peas added that comforting, traditional touch. Around me, customers seemed equally happy with their orders, with many opting for haddock and scampi, both of which are local favorites.
Service is fast and efficient, with staff keeping things friendly even during busy hours. Prices are fair, especially given the quality and portion sizes, making it a dependable choice for regular visits.
For anyone in Hedge End craving authentic, well-prepared fish and chips, the The Codfather menu offers a reliable, tasty, and great-value option that delivers every time.
