Most Disliked
One common point mentions the occasional wait during peak hours, particularly on bustling Fridays. Therefore, planning a visit during off-peak times can significantly improve the experience, allowing for a more relaxed dining atmosphere.
The casual vibe of the restaurant appeals to many, but some patrons may prefer a more formal dining experience. Despite the focus on quick bites, certain customers might find comfort in a less laid-back setting.
Though the menu boasts an impressive variety, some visitors yearn for more exotic options outside of traditional fare. While classics dominate, eager foodies might look for unique twists or gourmet options.

Stopped by the CodFather chip shop and had chicken & mushroom pie, chips and gravy - really enjoyed it! The pie was hot and tasty, the filling was nice and perfect temperature, and the pastry was lovely and soft. Chips were fresh and fluffy and cooked well. The gravy brought it all together well, it wasnt runny and had great consistancy and taste. Good comfort food and great value. Would definitely go back.

A quaint and wonderful chip shop supporting the local community. Some of the best kebab and chips I have had. If I am hungry for a chippy then I make an excursion to visit The Godfather. Only a few steps away is a lovely lake and In summertime you can grab a bag of chips (have some bread to hand) and enjoy a chip butty watching the wildlife.
