Castaways in Nuneaton and Bedworth

Not the best.... Give Nuneaton the widest berth possible.

Food was disgusting wouldn't feed it my dog was freezing cold and mouldy chips would recommend never to go to to this chip shop worst one in nuneaton by far

Slow to bring food to us, had to approach after 20-min wait Forgot us carried on serving counter customers Food was pretty average Aired chips, poor tasting sausage and curry sauce was just OK Spilled Tea added to enjoyment🫣

Hello I'm peter.carre abstract artists I use castaways the fish and chips are very tasty And the owner and staff are Brilliant the shop is always busy very clean to my knowledge I like the chips thay say a secret recipe so I can recomend to feed quality fish and chips always clean tolrtstoilets

Grabbed lunch at Castaways on a whim as the smell of fish and chips wafted down the street. Service at the counter was quick and the large menu was easy to navigate. Decided to sit in as the weather outside wasn't great. Was told to take a seat and food would be with us within a few minutes. 2 large cod and chips, a medium cod and chips and 2 sausage, with a variety of sauces. The food arrived in under 10 mins, and was piping hot and clearly fresh. The chips were crisp on the outside and soft and light inside. The cod was flakey and light, the batter was crisp though could do with a little more seasoning for my liking (That's personal preference though). Being from the north, Midlands gravy is very hit and miss for me, though castaways was good. It was reasonably thick with good flavour, the curry sauce too had a hint of spice and was tasty. The portions filled the plate, but there wasn't much difference between the medium and large portions to justify the price difference in my opinion. Another customer while we were in ordered Kebab meat and chips, and the plate looked amazing and we regretted not ordering that ourselves. The restaurant looked generally clean and well presented though seemed to be a little clinical and lacking that personal touch, it feels like the restaurant is somewhat of an afterthought to the takeaway. Including sauces and drinks the meals averaged just over £10per person, which isn't bad considering the portion size and what nearby fast food restaurants are charging nowadays. In short, good food, good staff, good service, ok atmosphere.

Don t expected to be greeted while being served here Miserable staff and if you sit for your meal have a cold drink because the coffee is so strong you can chew it..think I lie? pay them a visit ..you want go back...

Went in, food was pretty disgusting, staff didn't seem to know what was on the menu. Won't go again

Food as mediocre but the portion sizes and pretty big.

Been coming here since it first opened, nice food kebab portions are small tho

Love the chips! ! Gonna havft to beat toppers

Ordered peas got curry sauce, to b fair fish and chips v good

Always provides a friendly service.

Horrible food and awful customer service from the staff

Ordered through Just Eat as a treat. Delivery estimated for 6.20pm to 6.40pm delivery, it turned up at 5.40pm! The portion size of the large chips was half a large tray, and was no larger than the small cheesy chips we also ordered. But the large cheesy chips we also ordered was a normal large portion.The southern fried chicken was greasy. Won't be using this chip shop again. Food was luke warm. Streak and kidney pie was just steak, no kidney.

Ordered though uber eats and a pizza I ordered did not come, I had them on the phone and they said it was a problem on THEIR end that the payment for the pizza had not come through. I work in the food industry myself so I don't normally get angry with people on the phone about these things because USUALLY the problem gets sorted without any such need. Working in this industry myself I would never just give someone half an order as all orders should be honoured especially when the problem lies on our end and I would at least call beforehand if there was a problem when a number had been provided for the order. The uber driver turned up with just a burger on its own and 6 chicken nuggets, which would not feed two hungry people! After talking to them in the phone to the point of anger for over 15 minutes they said they would send the pizza out to me which did calm me down as that is the correct response. They also said that they have had this problem before and they have still honoured the order as they agreed it was the right thing to do. After a couple of minutes I get a text come through asking for me to send proof that the order was paid for! Should NOT be my responsibility nor should I have to put myself through that hassle and then someone called me back to say that I had to send proof or they will not send me my full order. I was livid again and told them to just forget as I didn't care anymore now! I was not offered any form of compensation or any ammendments so I told them to just keep the money and forget it because I was sick of being angry and I ordered from somewhere else instead. AVOID unless you want to be robbed!

Will never order from Castaways again, third time now something is missing from the order, tastes like it's been warming all day, not fresh, disgusting 🤢 doesn't even deserve 1 star but had to put a rating

Went into the restaurant, waited over 10 minutes to be served. The fridge that the drinks are kept in has brown stuff all inside under the drinks. The worker who was going to serve us was going to reuse someone else's food box and when he started taking our order he walked off and started stripping donner meat. The tables were dirty and it smelled really bad. The entire restaurant was in a terrible state. Would not recommend

Bless the young blonde that's served me and My boyfriend, she was stopped serving to answer the phone of which I heard she was spoken badly to. The wait was understandable but the quality was poor. Chicken was undercooked . Good thing I cut it before i bite it. I will go back and have a word as this is far from the normal standard xxx Got pics for proof 8/7/24 18.40

Restaurant definitely has seen better days. Behind the counter is very run down and doesn't look clean at all. The chips were bright orange and had a funky taste, and we're very salty. Won't be going back again.

Staff who take time to help you.

Very pleasant staff great service.

Very nice place and service excellent foods fantastic.

Not the best chippy in nuneaton. G

This chippy used to be really good but now the food is disgusting, chips were greasy, donor meat was burnt and not edible. I'll be avoiding this chippy from now on.

The staff were stressed about some teenagers hanging around but served nice and friendly. Hats off to them for that.

Just ordered £30 worth of food for family of 4 as late from work tonight & it was absolutely awful. Can’t fault the delivery but the food was almost inedible. Chips, soggy & swimming in grease, most were either black or green, pitta bread was rock hard & would have cracked floor tiles if dropped. No salad with the kebab, just meat & pitta.. By the time we had picked out the chips from two portions that we felt we could actually eat we had a handful each. 1st time I have ever used this place & definitely the last.. my advice.. avoid at all costs. I wish I’d done beans on toast!!

Splendid fish and chips. Best in town.

I passed this shop when walking around Nuneaton

Ordered from them a long time but this time it was awful. Ordered large fish and chips twice, 1 small curry sauce and i small tray of donner meat as usual. The batter was uncooked and soggy on the fish. Hardly any chips not even a cone in it. Old hard donner meat under new meat. The chips were hard. WONT B ORDERING AGAIN!! Have they been taken over by new people? 3 times had 2 say phone number and address, kept getting it wrong then had a call from wrong address to ask where we were! £27.00 for rubbish!!

Ordered from here delivery, This used to be my favourite place to order from I don’t know if its changed hands but recently there food is Dyer the mushy peas was just green water with 10% peas in it no flavour, the spicy chicken wings were not done properly like they were undercooked or just badly cooked, curry sauce was watery to just like the peas, What’s Happened to you castaway you were a 10/10 now 2/10 I’m going to have to find elsewhere to order from now this is very sad.

Ordered 3 sausages and a large portion of chips - very tasty. But the chips were a generous cone portion at best.

Ordered 3 sausages and a large portion of chips. Very tasty but the chips was a generous cone at best. Very poor portion size

Food very poor do not buy unless you can see food. Reheats, chips not fresh.

Possibly if you're really desperate. Cutlery filthy. First four choices from the menu on the wall not available. Could not understand what the guy who took my order was saying. All in all, I doubt we'll be back. The cup of tea was good.

Chips and sausage, nothing special.

0 star don't go guy has no maners

First time at castaways and the food is amazing chicken wrap is delicious

Be very careful when you are going to pay for your food as the main guy that works there will try to short change you. As I paid for small chips and curry sauce which costs £3.70 and I should have got £6.30 back, I got £1.30 and and they tried to keep £5.00 for them selves.

Banging orange chips with a light coating of batter on each chip. 10/10

Really nice food and cooked really well. I had a chips and kebab meat and the taste is exceptional for a meat and chip A+

Will not be ordering again. The chips were cooked In old oil at a guess. It tasted like it hadn't been changed in over a week. The fish was just well not good. It didn't taste like cod. It had no flavour to it and the battery was thick and stodgy. Definitely gone down hill since changed hands. Very disappointed as was looking forward to it. I think you need to look at everything that you do as you have alot of bad reviews and you don't seem to care by the looks of things. I hope things improve for your sake and your customers

Fish was good. But chips were rock hard. Obviously left overs from lunch time warmed up. The mushy peas were a piss take, all we got in the tubs was pea juice. Shall not order again.

If you love greasy food and over salted food, food that tastes like rubber then this is absolutely the place for you !

Ordered food too eat in. Wasn't even asked for sauce. When I did ask they said £1 🤣 Disgraceful

First time eating from Castaway and boy was I disappointed.The lamb kebab was well cooked and delicious but the chips…was so nasty.I could feel the oil melting from every bite of the chip.Just hated it.I really hope they improve on their chips please.But other than that the portion was huge and the environment was very nice and clean.

Delicious fish and chips. Perfectly cooked on both the fish and chips. Nice and clean inside, lovely service and seem like nice guys too.

Very rude got one hell of an attitude from the person serving he needs a course on customer service.. I will never go to this place again!!!

the staff are very catering and caring, the food is very similar to the chip shop before "fryways", best and only place that does double fried coated chips.

My relatives came for fish and chips but the batter was like a Michelin car tyre was that thick. Peas were watery and the two chaps serving today were rude. Should have had a refund really. Won’t be coming back!

There was a rat sitting on the counter staring at me, I think it wanted to nick the chips out of my hand

I was gonna have a nice breakfast, but you open after 3pm on Sunday. 11 am on working days, I don't understand why do you have breakfast on the menu....

I had jacket potato with cheese and beans and lettuce it was nice quite good value but not enough cheese. My husband and friend both wanted a breakfast but they only had breakfast baps, we asked for it to be plated instead so they had one sausage sliced , one egg, small portion of luke warm beans, mushrooms and no bap was given. This breakfast was very poor for the price, at £6 the drink should have been free.

fantastic food,fantastic service ordered via just eat and the calzone was one of the nicest takeaway pizzas I've had in years would definitely recommend, fish and chips and scampi and chips was nice as well

Been going here for a good few years saw the owners take over they have been serving the community with a smile and good food located across the road from the Bus station it's ideal. simple food, small price, full belly and a big smile

Used these twice now spending over £50 and we’ve not had an order which has been correct. First instance promised refund and to allow 3/4 days. Two weeks later I call them back and they then tell me I need to contact Uber eats, disappointing. 2nd instance £6 for a jacket potato takes the pi$$ very small and very dry. We also ordered kebab meat with special instructions adding garlic mayo and replace the chips with salad. We receive the garlic mayo but with chips, when calling the store they advised they cannot see the special instructions and when I questioned them about the garlic mayo they couldn’t answer that. They also then start to blame third-party which is Uber eats because they cannot see all the instructions, I don’t think so. Food is expensive, quality is not good and and we’ve not had a correct order on the two times we ordered. I wouldn’t recommend ordering from them

Nice place very friendly had some good hot fish and chips

Absolutely disgusting there was a lots of hair in my batted chicken burger , gave my half a tub of curry sauce

Not very tasty fish was very Smelly and the tray was sat in greasy oil

I've been here before and was happy with the service untill today. Went in today and the "owner" was rude- as in poor customer service was provided. No smiling welcome, was very abrupt and just didn't feel welcome at all. When ordered large portion he provided us with medium. We noticed how.everyone else had bigger portions compared to us. I remember buying large portion and it feeding two of us and this was few weeks ago. The food serving for a large meal for 8 pound is appauling atm. And same with this gentlemans attitude.

Amazing quality food and really nice chips

Order arrived 1h late phone restaurant 3 times to hear is on the way not recommended at all

Perfect timing really nice fluffy and crispy chips kebab was bang on and the right amount of chilli sauce finally Perfecto

Had fish and chips delivered which were excellent. Piping hot and within a reasonable time frame. Very happy.

Great chip shop! Would highly recommend

Just ordered a kebab from castaways there was 3 strips of lamb & 6 pieces of chicken absolutely pathetic will never order from there again proper ripped OFF !!

The batter chips are a must try. Great service by friendly staff.

Just had a chicken and mushrooms pie and chips never again pastry was all stodgy and wet not cooked at all looked like been in microwave left it waste of money 😡

Just had a chicken and mushroom pie for the wife absolutely bloody disgusting the pie itself was wet !!!! Looked like it had been dropped in some water really was that bad don’t think I’ll be coming back 🤢

Nice food and staff are helpful.

Great place food was excellent the prices are decent and the staff are superb. They still insist on full covid 19 guidelines don't comply don't go in. Allowed inside for food eating but this is limited and they are strict about covid masks and sanitisation inside as well as takeaways. I felt very safe here. Open good hours.

Friendly staff, prices are about same as elsewhere but the fish and chips wasn't great.

uses coloring in ther chips causing Nasty side effects ilness, never buy again

When I went for a takeaway, they were so fast! I also ordered delivery on Just Eat and my food came in only 15 Minutes! This restaurant is so fast and the staff are super nice and will always work extra hard to get your order done quickly! The food is always delicious too!

Ordered from here tonight. Absolutely discusting!! Beans just chucked over chips and they were burnt and dried up. Fish was mushy and for the price I paid is a discrace! When phoned to speak with owner he wouldn't do anything about it as it was delivered half an hour ago. When I explained that was because I was feeding my little one his dinner he put the phone down on me!!!

Brilliant pizza. Brilliant service and delivery

Very polite and friendly staff. Quality food that is delivered on time. Thank You!

We ordered castaways and it came before the time it was meant to which is excellent service. The chips were so tasty as they always are however the pizzas from here are one of the worse things ive ever tasted, my children wouldn't even eat them. I wont be ordering a pizza again thats for sure!

I would have recommended this place but not anymore as we were told by a delivery driver that all we do is moan. My partner ordered a large kebab and when it arrived it was a small portion. We called to say that we had ordered a large but was sent a small portion. When the driver came out again with another order, he told us that management said that all we do is complain. We used to be regular customers but we will never order from them again. It is a true saying that the customer is always right but not as far as castaways is concerned. If there was a no star option they would have got that.

Food is good. But I had an issue with a Kebab when on the Menu it said Large Donner £6-00 then when it was delivered it was small. When I Phoned to make a point. When I ordered another meal the driver told me that Castaways had said I do nothing but moan. I WON'T be ordering Food here ever again. I did say I would recommend this restaurant but NOT ANYMORE. Food and Hygiene should visit this place undercover to see what there food is like. I did think the Staff were great but to be told by a driver I moan then Castaways can get to Fxxk. When I was a CONSTANT regular Customer they treat me like this they have lost me I WOULD not be ordering from them EVER AGAIN

Considering the lockdown these guys are super fast . The quality of the food is high and it came piping hot, 10 minutes after I ordered off just eat. Certainly a great chippy option with tasty kebab

forgot items with delivery. phoned them and instead of getting the driver to turn around and come back, they said we will have to wait half hour...very disappointed. will not be ordering from them again

Prices are okay. Great menu and nice food

I believe this place is under new ownership as we gave it a go and was delighted , not cheap by any means but enjoyed the food

Fast delivery off the app, the food was good, tasty and correct to the order, maybe more chips would a bonus but overall a great experience

Do not order from this place. Nothing about it is fresh. Completely unacceptable. Worst food ever!! Should come with a health warning

Love the food and the friendly staff xxx

Great chips good friendly service and wide selection of food and drinks

Service by the new owners was top notch - food was delicious and plentiful - worth driving the extra distance

Good place for breakfast if you around Nuneaton. For parking you have to use Asda parking, but it's not to far

Do special deals for senior citizens

Great place for fish n chips. Love the battered chips

Use to love going here when it was Fryways I miss the owners, now i won't ever go here again. Chips is why i give this place a 1* review it is literally the only thing never failed me First time i had burger and chips - Chips was great burger was dryer than dry, no butter sauce or nothing Second time I had faggot, chips and peas - Faggot's was nothing but skin Third time (unfortunately) I had Spring Roll, Chips and peas - Spring roll was nothing but grease and tasted disgusting even 4 hours later and lots of drinks My sister had chips, scallop and battered sausage - the battered sausage was under cooked and the scallop was dry One time fair enough but not three won't be eating here ever again unless its chips!

Ordered on just eat on bus station bbq page so that's what I was expecting, half way through my kebab I found a dead fly covered in grease, phoned bus station bbq they said they didn't deliverd to my address, looked back on just eat and found out it was castaways, the person I spoke to didn't seemed bothered, just moaned that I didn't phoned up straight away, I would have phoned straight away but couldn't, it's been reported to just eat, gave a star because I had to,

It was amazing the people are really kind and always have a smile on their face. The food there was incredible and I would recommend it to everyone

Very kind caring staff,respectful.

My food been lovely every time but tonight it come late and it wasn’t warm at all😣

just had a takeaway for lunch at work only because i couldn't get out to a shop to buy anything else and tbh i wish i had of waited till end of day there food was so bad the burger was bland and could tell it was cheap beef (if it was even beef)the chips were so greasy and i had to make it up to £10 to get the delivery so i had to order something else so had the mozzarella sticks, the sticks wernt to bad at the start but 2 mins after eating them all i can taste is old oil as if they have been sat for a while and wormed back up . also the guy who took my order was rude as well,definitely wont go back there! so to sum it up i had one burger with chips and cheese a portion of mozzarella stick and a bottle of coke zero all for £12.50 .. shocking . posted by mark

Nice food friendly staff also good value for money

Clare and her chap plus other the staff are always lovely to me everytime I go for something to eat or if I order they a brilliant. Love the food always hot when delivered. The mix meat rap is beautiful as they always get it how I like it. :) x

I love this Plaice ( excuse the pun ) I can go in here WITH my little dog , & have a lovely meal & drink. We are made very welcome. 🐩🐩🐩🐩 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
