The Codfather

Ambleside · LA22 0AD

No reviews yet4★ FSA hygieneWell-rated Ambleside chippy (4.5/5 across 329 Google reviews) praised for fresh, non-greasy fish and friendly, accommodating staff — but note it serves haddock, not cod, which has disappointed some customers.

The best fish and chips I've had in recent years! I normally avoid eating the fish from chippies because of its grease but this one was perfectly freshly fried and not greasy at all!

Great chippy .10 of us came off the hills very late .The shop was just about closing.But kept it open just for us .Fried up various stuff for us .Great food Great staff .10 out of 10.
🎯 Consistency
Serves haddock not cod; one diner found it tasteless
The most tasteless fish n chips I've ever had in my life went in asked for two lots of cod n chips but they said they only served haddock. Why call yourself The Codfather when you don't serve cod.
