A smart, sit-in chippy in the heart of Harpenden, Godfrey's has been frying since 2012 and has grown into one of the town's best-loved spots for fish and chips. This is fish and chips done with a little polish: light, crisp, non-greasy batter wrapped around fresh fillets, fluffy chips and proper homemade sides. You can eat in at the restaurant or take it all away, and the kitchen keeps things fresh by cooking to order rather than holding food under heat lamps.

The signature Cod and Chips draws the most praise, often paired with the much-loved minted mushy peas, and the menu runs to haddock, scampi and other seaside favourites. Diners consistently rate it highly, giving it 4.5 out of 5 across hundreds of TripAdvisor reviews and ranking it among Harpenden's top restaurants. Friendly, efficient service rounds out a takeaway that feels a cut above the usual chip-shop run.

One of Harpenden's longest-serving curry houses, New Taj Mahal has been run by the same family since 1972, quietly serving traditional Indian and Bangladeshi cooking to the town for over half a century.

Long-standing regulars return for the warm, unhurried welcome as much as the food.

Starters such as the King Prawn Puri set the tone, while mains like a richly spiced Chicken Madras show off the kitchen's confident hand with heat and aromatics. Reviewers describe it as a reliable, good-value neighbourhood Indian rather than a flashy newcomer, and it holds a 3.8 out of 5 rating across well over a hundred TripAdvisor reviews.
