Plan your visitAbout The Cod Father
This Kedron chippy delivers pure, old-school takeaway energy with generous portions and zero pretension. Locals rely on it for honest fish and chips—whether that means flaky cod wrapped in crisp golden batter or sweet lip grilled to order. Fresh frying oil keeps the thick-cut chips crunchy outside and steaming within, while the oversized potato scallops and classic burgers with the lot nail the nostalgic brief. Call-in orders are reliably bagged and ready in 20 minutes, backed by counter staff kind enough to run meals straight to waiting cars. Grab a sachet of chicken salt and take your parcel hot.
