About The Cod House
The Cod House is a fish and chips restaurant at 37 Ravensmere in Beccles. The menu centres on cod and haddock served with chips, and the kitchen cooks the fish fresh to order in a light, crispy batter. The restaurant works on a walk-in basis, so guests simply turn up when they want a table. A queue out the door forms at times, and a wait is likely then. Guests who prefer to order online can collect at a booked time.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the batter and fish, describing a light, crisp coating over moist white fish, with haddock and cod both named as fresh and cooked to order. Close behind are the chips, called clean, not soft or oily, and one reviewer says the frying is done in dripping rather than oil. Several mention ordering online and finding the food ready at the booked time, and a few note the shop is very busy, with a queue out the door on one visit. Staff are described as friendly, and portions as good size. One reviewer calls the cod the best they have had from a chip shop. The one dissenting account is a plaice order that the reviewer says was a hunk of batter with barely any fish inside, and they say they would have sent it back and refused to pay had they been in a restaurant. Another reviewer describes a late Saturday visit where six fresh fish and chips were cooked just as the shop was closing.

“The plaice I ordered just turned out to be a hunk of batter with the remotest sign of any actual fish. It was a disgrace to sell it as fish under the Trade Discription Act. I expect my review will be totally disregarded anway. Had I been in a restaurant I would have sent it back and refused to pay.”
