What makes their fish and chips the best in the Watford area?I would say, it’s not just about the food. Lots of places do nice fish n chips. In my opinion it’s the people involved, my choice is where my family is made to feel most welcome. If my son is happy, it goes far beyond personal taste. It doesn’t matter what time of day it is we get the same awesome service every single time. That’s what matters and that’s what makes people come back time and time again.

What makes their fish and chips the best in the Watford area?Fresh tasting, crisp batter. Chips also have a twice cooked taste to them and don't taste of fish oil. They do amazing battered halloumi and home made pies too.

Name of the shop/pub/restaurant?Godfrey's
Address of the shop/pub/restaurant?33 Kemp Place, Bushey
What makes their fish and chips the best in the Watford area?Good quality single source fish and top quality potatoes - same variety every time. But most of all - most important for any fish and chip shop - they change their cooking oil on a regular basis. No old fish taste to your chips. This is the biggest single failure for most fish and chips shops - thinking it is economic to not change old oil
