One of the best fish and chips i’ve had. Small meal deal was good value and plenty of food. Only gripe would be the plate is small making it hard to eat without your food falling off! Definitely will be visiting again when in the area.

Nearly fell over when she told me the price – and that was for takeaway – eat in was even more! First lady was extremely friendly. They served my food in four individually wrapped parcels so I asked for a box and this woman looked at me with indignation. The plan was to eat my food in the car. How else was I supposed to do it? Everything was wrapped up in a separate bag. Chips tasted really, really good, but the portion was small for a regular - and at that price. Curry sauce was not for me, it should be chip shop and not Chinese style but maybe that’s how they do things here up north??? The chips were good so I would go again, would just be more prepared.

Food is average at best. The jalapeno poppers are absolutely MISERABLE, too tough with too much coating. Worst of all was the staff. So rude, unhelpful, and nasty. Never going again, wouldn't recommend. Terrible!

Lovely attentive service at Carlos, best fish & chips we've had for a long time, (much better than the Anstruther fish bar,) chips were hot, fresh and clean, non greasy with a lovely batter on the Haddock, 10 / 10 good value

The best fish'n'chips of my life, although I must be on my 20th visit between England, Scotland and Wales. Everything was perfect, the young girl at reception was smiling and friendly in addition to having a very fun hair color. The curries (spicy or not) were delicious, the fish huge and perfectly breaded, the fries and homemade ketchup, the jalapeno.. Add to that a really good price and you get Carlo's! Thanks, it was great

**5 Stars - Delightful Dining Experience at Carlo's** I recently had the pleasure of dining at Carlo's, and it was an experience to remember. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the warm and friendly staff who made me feel right at home. Their attentiveness and genuine hospitality set the tone for a wonderful meal. The star of the show was undoubtedly the fish and chips. The fish was cooked to perfection, with a crispy golden batter encasing moist and flaky fish. The chips were equally impressive, perfectly seasoned and crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside. Each bite was a delight, and the quality of the ingredients was evident. The ambiance at Carlo's is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a casual meal with family and friends. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our dining experience was enjoyable, from the food to the service. In summary, Carlo's offers not only amazing fish and chips but also a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel valued as a customer. I highly recommend Carlo's for anyone looking for a delicious and delightful dining experience.

We really fancied a fish and chip lunch during our visit to Alnwick but didn't know of anywhere to get any - then we came across Carlos. We both had the meals that came with a 'side' (how American is that?), bread & butter and a drink. Every aspect was brilliant - thin tasty batter, plump fish, (homemade?) tartar sauce and gorgeous chips. The mushy peas were mega too. Unusually the bread was from a Tiger loaf which really went with the food. The food came to the table piping hot and stayed hot to the end. A fresh slice of lemon too. The tea was a bit strong for our liking but it's better than being wishy washy I suppose. We eat fish & chips fairly regularly and these were among the best. Highly recommended.

Went here for our evening meal on a short break. The fish and chips are some of the best I’ve ever had, they were fresh and crispy and the chips were chunky and homemade. Tip- if eating in, order your food and go sit upstairs where it’s quiet. Unless you’re a massive eater, the small fish and chip special(£13.50), will easily fill you up. You get fish and chips, choice of peas, curry, or gravy, or beans I think! Plus bread and butter and tea or coffee. The fish and chip special at £17.00 is the same, except it’s a huge fish and lots more chips, same deal as the small special, come with choice of sides and drink and bread and butter. I would recommend to anyone, absolutely gorgeous fish and chips, you won’t be disappointed!

We always come here for our fish and chip tea when we come to Northumberland. The staff are friendly and the little restaurant can get busy so if you're going at a traditional meal time, I'd book it. The fish is cooked to order and a small (it's quite big) one, chips, Mushy peas, curry sauce or gravy, bread and butter and cup of tea or coffee is £13.95 to eat in.

Stopped in chilled after touring the castle. The hot fresh fish & chips made our stop in Alnwick! The small portion is huge & comes with chips (fries), hot or cold beverage & a side. We each got a different one. Gravy, curry & peas were a hit. Didn’t care too much for baked beans. Gelato was a sweet treat to finish.

We are in love with the Haddock! We all would come back from the other side of the globe just to enjoy Carlo's specifically and the over all atmosphere the people and businesses of Alnwick offers. Our giant filet of Cod and Haddock, no chippy, were about 20 lbs but the 3 of us were actually considered canceling our dinner reservation because we didn't think we could eat again for the next 90 minutes.

Went here for fish and chips twice whilst visiting the area and both times they were queueing out the door! Good options on the menu with lovely fresh fish at the top of the list. Everything is cooked fresh to order, portions are generous (share a portion of chips between two unless you are very hungry). Staff seemed friendly with perhaps 10 of them being kept busy busy the big customer demand from takeaway and on site dining. Highly recmmended and we will certainly be back whenever we are in the area.

I had a great experience at Carlo's fish and chips. The restaurant has loads of sitting space, which helps when visiting with kids. After ordering a large fish and chips I couldn't believe my eyes when 2 portions of fish arrived on my plate. First I doubted myself if I could even finish it but because the quality of food was so great, not a single chip was spared. I would highly recommend this place.

I was in Alnwick on a rainy day and I was also desperate for proper fish and chips. I googled it and found Carlo's. Luckily they have a few tables you can eat at and I managed to get one as I didn't want to eat outside. The special was fantastic, freshly cooked so piping hot, and it came with your choice of peas, curry, gravy, beans, bread and butter, and a drink. The hot tea was very much needed but you can have a cold drink. Reasonably priced for a tourist town and the staff were lovely. I was on my own but I didn't feel awkward at all.

It was getting late and we needed to eat so fish and chips fit the bill . This was local and TripAdvisor rated the best . A decent chip shop shouldn’t disappoint and this one was good . Nice chips and good portion of fish with a light batter . We had bought a lemon ourselves which added to the flavor . Not sure why chip shops in the UK don’t offer a piece of lemon like in NZ - it really helps .

One word. RUDE. So so awful. Me and boyfriend went to get dinner at this restaurant as take away. We walked in and straight away we were made so extremely uncomfortable. We are out of towners walking into this place was insanely awkard. The staff were hostile and judgmental, we were stood looking at the menu board holding absolutely no que and before we know it we are being hounded to order. Being sighed at by the staff behind the counter after entering the shop for only 2 minutes. The lady behind the counter asked us in a aggressive manner “do you know what you want” and the lady serving ice cream butted in and said “no they don’t” in a manor that made us feel ganged up on. Other customers noticed the hostile and rude environment and attitude from the staff.

Two weeks ago I waited in a very long queue then bought cod and chips. They were excellent. Went back last week for the same again. Sadly, after waiting in a queue, I saw the girl serving had a glove on with an elastic band round her wrist. Most of these elastic bands contain latex. I am allergic to latex. I had to ask for my money back. I don't think that in this day and age, when so many people are allergic to latex, that it should be used in a hot food shop. It can be dangerous for some people. I went home very disappointed and very hungry. As far as I know this is the only tradition fish and chip shop in Alnwick now.

Went last night and I can say I wasn't really impressed overall. The chips were nice and as was the gravy, but the tub was just thrown in the bag upside down. Ordered fish and chips- got given just the cod not the chips. (It was too late to go back by the time we opened the bag). Luckily grandmother managed to share some chips from someone else in our family. The atmosphere was very tense and the staff seemed very miserable. Only one of the staff seemed nice- the lady with the colourful hair who was doing the gelato. The tartar sauce was a disgusting mess- it tasted okay at the top of the tub but was awful underneath. Blatantly scammed a foreign couple near us that ordered fish and chips and a cheese savoury- charged them over £22 when I worked out that they should have been charged roughly £15. The children's prices were obscene as were the options. Would not go back here because of the tense atmosphere, the prices and the blatant scamming of people. Which is a shame as the chips and gravy were nice.

Only slight issue was I wouldn't say the cod wasn't large more on the small side and their wasn't many chips either. I guess im used to ordering a small chips at the chip shop and still getting a fair amount but they're definitely small here 🙃 £9.20 for the cod, £2.50 for the chips, we would return as everything was so tasty.
