Cod & Fry

Stepping into Cod & Fry feels like uncovering a quietly cherished neighborhood gem where the pace slows just enough to savor something familiar, yet thoughtfully crafted. Situated along Marlow Road in High Wycombe, this takeout spot welcomes you with an air of no-nonsense comfort—the kind of place where the hum of the fryer and the friendly exchange behind the counter set a tone of casual ease.

The space itself is unpretentious and clean, prioritizing the simple joy of good food made to order. There’s a steady rhythm here, a sense that every portion served carries a little more care than you might expect from a typical chip shop. While it’s primarily a place for grabbing a hearty meal on the go, the warmth of the staff and the well-kept surroundings invite moments of genuine connection—even if just through a shared smile while picking up your order.

The menu mirrors this approach with offerings that feel both comforting and distinct. Expect the satisfying crunch and generous size of their chips alongside thoughtfully seasoned fish and grilled bites that carry unexpected touches—like the subtle warmth of spices or the charred notes of a freshly cooked burger. These are flavors that remind you of home but with a subtle lift, giving each meal a sense of occasion even during a quick takeout visit.

What stands out most is the quiet consistency in quality and kindness found here. Whether you’re a local making this your regular stop or simply passing through, Cod & Fry leaves behind the typical rush of street food runs. Instead, it extends a little pause—ample portions, friendly faces, and an easygoing atmosphere that makes it a memorable part of the day rather than just a meal.
