At Royal Cod, the fish and chips experience transcends the ordinary, making it a standout destination on Wilbraham Road in Chorlton-cum-Hardy. With timely service and a cozy dining atmosphere, patrons have praised the delectable offerings. Fresh Cod, crispy and perfectly coated, captures the essence of traditional British food. Derek Warrington aptly describes the fish as “cooked perfectly,” accompanied by chips that boast the ideal crispiness along with authentically mushy peas—a true sign of quality in a chippy. Joyce Gill echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the cleanliness and excellent value that Royal Cod offers, which sets it apart from competing establishments. Meanwhile, Chan Doris highlights the freshness of the cod and the expertly fried chips, a must-try for any visitor in Greater Manchester. The haddock, which Vanessa C describes as delightfully intact, showcases the restaurant's dedication to frying techniques that preserve flavor and texture. Additionally, the warm hospitality from the owner, who has been known to offer free fish to guests, creates a welcoming environment that enhances the overall dining experience. With a range of affordable menu options, including battered sausages and various side dishes, Royal Cod truly embodies the spirit of a classic British chippy—one that deserves a spot on every food lover's list.

The BEST place for fish and chips in Chorlton. We called in Friday night. The fish was cooked perfectly. A even coating of batter and a good size. The chips were crisp and again a good portion. The mushy peas were as they are meant to be MUSHY. First Class Chippy. And the advantage of being able to sit in and eat for a small charge. We'll worth a visit.

So far the best fish & chips in Great Manchester. Cod is so fresh with just right crisp pulp, which matches perfectly with chips fried in raw style. Must visit if you drop by Chorlton.

The haddock fish paste stays intact and doesn’t fall off, I’ve tried many restaurants, but most don’t fry it well. This was a delightful surprise, and I highly recommend it!

Had a great meal at the Royal Cod. Fish cooked perfectly. The owner was very kind, he gave us some extra chips with both curry sauces to see which we preferred for next time. Would definitely go back for a sit in meal again. Thank you!
