    Oh my cod, the best name for a fish & chip shop that I have ever heard! The fish and chips are…read morepretty good as well. I agree that the chips are spot on and I can put a shout out for the battered sausages. They also have a Chinese menu which from what I saw was quite a large menu with plenty to choose from although I didn't opt for the Chinese so I couldn't comment on the quality. They sell their empty pickled onion containers for 50p a tub which I thought was quite funny. I asked if they actually sold any and they said that they sell them frequently! Like the godfather they too are shrewd businessmen. Like Sophie if I am in the Hannover area I would go here first.

    Fish and Chips is a seaside staple, as we all know I'm sure. And being a seaside town, Brighton…read morehas hundreds of places to choose from. However, proximity to the sea, my friend, does not a yummy fish supper guarantee! Therefore, choose wisely friends. If you live near the London Rd, choose Bardsley's. If you live in Hanover, choose the Cod Father. The name alone is enough, surely? So wonderfully cheesy. It's simple wit was enough to draw me in regularly when I lived in the area. And they are more than just a great name too...the chips are really good, which is very important. They are crispy- none of this soggy malarkey you find in other places. The fish tastes fresh and the batter is not ridiculously heavy or overly greasy (don't get me wrong, there is grease, batter is never going to be the healthy option!). They also do great fish cakes and have all the usual picked extras: gherkins, onion and eggs. You can even catch up on current affairs whilst you wait, as they provide papers! Honestly, what more could you want rom your local fish and chip shop? Bravo! 5 stars.

    Cute place. The server was adorable. And then... we ate the food. There were four of us. We all…read moreordered the haddock and chips. The chips were hard, too brown, insufficiently salted, and had a "leftover grease" taste. The fish was dry, coated thickly in batter that wasn't light and didn't seem fresh. Could it have arrived at the restaurant frozen? The tartare sauce was nice. The curry sauce was fine - but it's difficult to ruin curry sauce. My mushy peas had little discernible flavor, but too be fair, I barely had a bite: while these peas looked as though they'd been mushy at one point in their journey to my plate, they had now hardened and solidified, and were crusty and drained of moisture. Pretty awful. After the YouTube videos and the raves on Trip Advisor and Google, I am genuinely mystified about the disconnect. The final icing on the cake was the price. Haddock and chips here is more expensive than at the infinitely superior Golden Union in London. Quite sad to have wasted my sister-in-law's money on this atrocious meal.

    Excellent fish and chips. The fish was flaky and steaming, but the exterior was crisp and…read moredelicious. Also, the fries were super crispy while being pillowy on the inside. The food was super fresh and hot - I recommend eating there for maximum freshness. I preferred the classic mushy peas over the curry, but both were good. This place filled up fast, so I suggest getting there a bit early.
