King Cod

Tucked into the busy Stanwix parade just north of the river in Carlisle, King Cod is a proper neighbourhood chippy that has built a loyal local following for fresh, made-to-order fish and chips. The fryers turn out the classics you would hope for, from a generously battered Haddock Supper to sausage, pie and chips, all cooked when you order rather than left sitting under a lamp. Regulars single out the lovely fresh haddock and the friendly, chatty service that makes the short wait pass easily.

It is a straightforward takeaway done well, the kind of spot you wander to of an evening with the family. Reviewers reward that consistency, with a 4.2/5 rating on Tripadvisor and an even warmer reception on the ordering apps, where it pulls a near-perfect score from happy customers. Whether you are after a quick teatime fish supper or a comforting plate of chicken and chips, this Stanwix favourite keeps things simple, fresh and reliably tasty.
