Castle chippy in Ribble Valley

False advertisement for starters!! Outside board says £3.80 for a large chips and gravy! Typical tourist price anyway YET INSIDE £5.10!!!! Just for a large chips and gravy!!!! Shameful. Preying on tourists. Walk up the road and explore more reasonable prices cafes ECT

On Holiday at a near by Holiday Park so we checked online for a local Chippy and this one came up, glad we did as the service was excellent and so was the food. Highly recommended

Terrific fish and chips. Fresh-cooked haddock in crispy batter was great (though prefer skin-on myself). Portions were completely satisfying. And the house tartare sauce the best I have ever tasted. Good value - 5 full bellies for about £30 :) Popped up top of Castle Mound and watched the sunset. Perfect end to the day!!

Castle Chippy is a 10/10!!! Absolutely amazing food from my home town, used to go everyday when I was younger. It will never disappoint, best place town, I genuinely cried when it burnt down, but stuck with you during the hard times. I very very very VERY much recommend to anyone, anywhere. Always sticking with you Castle Chippy.

Why anyone would ever eat here more than once is beyond me, lots of good fish and chips around Clitheroe but this really is the worst, they use frozen fish for starters, chips are nasty, i wouldn’t ever buy from here again, the worst chippy we have ever been to.

This has to be the best fish and chips I've had in years, Great portion, cooked to perfection. Nicks great behind the counter, very pleasant.

Very friendly staff who new what they are doing when ordering gluten free food, all the young ladies talked to each other to make sure everything was safe and gluten free. The fish and chips were very good. Enjoy

This place has good quality food and is well priced. Very inclusive to Gluten Free, Vegetarian and Vegan people.

This has to be the best chippy in the North West. Myself and my son drive over from Blackburn at least once a month to get our chips and gravy fix. Fresh chips every time, tasty thick and quite unique gravy (that I’ve never had from other chippy’s. )The staff are lovely and it’s always busy which says a lot. Great opening times. I really cannot fault Castle chippy it’s simply the best!

Very disappointed first time since refurb. Chips ok but very disappointed in the fish hardly any batter fish off white. Waste of £7.60 dogs had the fish sadly won’t be back.

This looks a really nice chippy in a great location, I ordered fish and chips for me and my wife we sat in the car and i opened the wrapping it was dripping in grease from the fish . The batter on the fish was terrible and there was hardly any fish it was all batter. Chips ok but scoring of 2/10 for the fish will not be going back

First time since re-furb. Ordered fish and chips and bad sign when it's served and wrapped within 20 secs. Found chips to be luke warm burned crispy with no taste obviously re-warmed or left for some time. Fish similar soggy batter off white fish - not just cooked. Disappointing and from my 4 visits in the last 18 months it's hit and miss - today waste of £7.60.

Just had 2 x chips, 1 with gravy. Both were fab. If you want chips n gravy Thalia a great spot. We didn’t try the rest of the menu but it all looked good and there was a queue

Awful soggy greasy batter and poor quality fish … should have taken it back really but didn’t want to drive all the way back :-(

The only chippy I know where the chips are usually luke warm and anaemic. Rubbish. It is such a shame as there is potential if only they knew how to fry chips.

Efficient set up, young lady taking orders outside. Staff seemed very pleasant, unfortunately whilst the fish and the chips were fresh he fish were stored flat rather than on their side which resulted in very greasy fish, a shame as apart from that the quality was good.

Great staff and great service , fish and chips were so tasty and the curry sauce is delicious! Thank you and see you soon

Excellent food and friendly staff. It was really busy which is always a good sign. We ate our food across the road in the Castle grounds. Perfect picnic!

I've found 4 chip shops in Clitheroe, and eaten from 3. Ain't gonna lie, this is the one you go to if your in town.. They have saveloy 😮 Not sure what fish I got the first time, but it tasted fishy so it's all good, looked like a sausage in batter at first, but was more fish looking when I went back the next time, although I had the meat n potato pie which was ok, but not as good as Alpes the butchers which are truly awesome. Throw in the fact it has saveloy, and great chips.. it's hands down the winner.. I know.. saveloy.. up north!, you know how long I looked for saveloy up north.

Perhaps we were just lucky but the fish was freshly cooked and tasted delicious. The batter was crispy, the chips abundant. The only thing we passed on was the gravy but perhaps next time.

I don't know who gave them 4.5 rating, chosen because of rating the fish was in heavy dry batter, the fish itself was rubery and the chips not fresh. Would not go back.

Great value for money, and extremely tasty fish and chips. If I was local I’d be a regular customer they were so good.

Great fish and chips. Small chippy up a few stairs, which makes social distancing difficult - you often see a line of customers down the stairs & onto the road, which is interesting when it is raining. It’s worth it!

Called 1130 this morning for nice fresh fish and chips. Got concerned when the female assistant was scraping the bottom of the warmer for chips - yep they had been warmed up and were soggy, cold and tasteless. Fish tasted like it was not freshly...

A great Chippy which you can trust with the gluten free meals, since our Granddaughter was diagnosed with coeliac we have always gone to this Chippy, The staff are lovely and friendly and go to great lengths to make sure everything is okay. The food...

Amazing customer service! The best chippy in Lancashire. Was served by two pleasant young ladies, both super chatty and welcoming.

Three of us have just really enjoyed our Fish and Chips Easter tea, the fish are very large with lovely tasty white fish and the chips are tasty and plentiful. We are going back later this month for our Granddaughters birthday treat, she has coeliac...

After a bad takeaway from somewhere else we decided to try a cod from here.Wow when we got it home it was no bigger than a fish finger, I actually said to my husband have they give you half a fish???Disgusting in these times they can serve food like this. I have put a picture on so you can see I am speaking the truth.

warmed up chips that were shrivelled up and hard, microwaved pie that had gone soggy.. all in the bin!

A great entryway with obvious attention to detail where the virus is concerned. Helped by the (Able bodied only) steep steps up A lovely inviting menu with instant cooked fish. However, chips pale and a bit rubbery. Batter not adhering to the fish do the...

fish and chips, fish goujons Both of the meals were floating in grease and not very hot. Hardly any fish in the batter on both, everything went in the bin

Excellent chippy, best chip supper I’ve had for a long time will definitely be back. Staff were really friendly and welcoming

One of the biggest menus you will ever see in a local chippy, the fish and chips our are favourites for a Friday night treat. Enjoy

Bought fish and chips the other night. Got home to eat them, and ended up putting them in the bin, they tasted that bad !! The chips were rock hard, and the fish just tasted like cardboard (not that I eat cardboard very often !!)

Good fish and chips... chips not soggy and fish cooked to order... spam fritter was excellent.. all for a very reasonable price point...friendly staff

Fantastic fish and chips faultless every time tasty hot fresh always, Would highly recommend always travel to this chippy because its the best

Call in again the other day at lunch time for Fish and Chips and Fish was really good, well cooked, great batter and the chips perfect. Great fast and friendly service. Enjoy

absolutely delicious, If you are coeliac I recommend this place %100, you wont have any worries. Im very sensitive and My tummy was so happy after. The fish is also very fresh and the whole meal was perfect. Not oily or soggy.

What a great busy chippy this is with a very large menu and I think something for everyone. The service is friendly and helpful and always quick too serve you, a great family atmosphere. Enjoy

The chip. Were. Delicious and the sausage was nice i recommenced it and I. Think. It. The best chip shop

3 of us called in to the Castle Chippy after an afternoon out in Clitheroe and we were all glad we did. A very large choice is on offer, some i had never heard before and some that i had not seen for years. Very friendly staff who will take you through the menu. Next time we are in Clitheroe we will definitely be visiting the Castle again.

Personally I think this is the best English chippy in the area. Unusual littl building at the end of the block and sometimes parking can be a little awkward depending on the time of day, but definitely give it a try. I’m tempted in by the smell of their lovely food when I’m only supposed to be passing.

A lovely chippy, food is great, not too greasy and portions are spot on and staff were very friendly.They do not accept card payments, but there is a cash machine at the top of the street. I'm from the North East where chip shops are the best, so I was curious to see how they would compare and they did not disappoint.

I tried to be polite, but anyone who has worked or shopped in Booths, knows that Cliteronians, of the moneyed type, do not like to wait. After all they are above the rubbing rags, like my handicapped son and I. They pop in, taking their young offspring home from their private school, buy them a cone of chips, and pretend they are like "us" plebs. Some ignore the fact that a real handicap is for life. The currie sauce was very salty. I made the mistake of putting extra vinegar and salt on my chips { As young people are against salt and vinegar, so sprinkle it on, like a vicar at a christening who has just had a water bill!], which were of the brewers' droop variety, by the time I arrived home, and I live in Clitheroe centre. So, everything was overly salty.Happily, my son informed me that the curry sauce was salty, but the pies and the dabs were totally adequate.

Fantastic local chip shop that will serve you from 9am. This is a great option if you are staying nearby and fancy something other than an overpriced and under satisfying breakfast at local hotels.Unusual in that they open at 9 and seemingly will provide you with a full menu even in the morning.Add to that helpful and friendly staff I only rated this business at 4 because I didn't have chance to try the fish'n'chips. I'll report back when I get the chance to try them and will likely rate it higher.

Great fish, sausages and chips. Friendly staff. Great prices for food and drink. Small eat in table or seating outside

traditional mixed with the modern a true variation and mix on a variety of food worth the visit and pleasant staff

I have used this chippy on several occasions and always been happy but today I fancied fish and chips for tea so nipped over and ordered very quick service and polite as usual when I got home couldn’t believe that every single chip had black head on them and had a green tinge quite clearly the potatoes used had seen better days I didn’t eat them I just put them In the bin . They need to up their game and have some sort of quality control as sending food out like that soon gives a place a bad reputation very quickly if it done on a regular basis . Very disappointed this time sorry yes I will try it again but if the same happens again I would not be recommending this place again

Really friendly staff serving you real fish and chips. With competitive prices as well its a must for hungry visitors.

Well, the staff put up with my pathetic jokes, my stories about haddick [That is how they say it in BARNSLEY, S, Yorks!!!!] in Yorkshire where I taught etc. Then I took them home wrapped up in a tad of insulation - a Liverpool shirt- whilst I waited for the bus nearby. The bus stop was disgusting, outside the Pendle Club on Lowergate, and so typical of Clitheroe now-with excess traffic, at high speed.... so many important people pratting around... The meal was consumed with pleasure at home. Best I have eaten in Lancs., for many years. Only a chip shop in Peace Square, Bradford, comes close!!!!

One of our friends said let’s get some chips for lunch so 6 if us went as it was a very busy time to attempt to sit in anywhere!

As visitors to Clitheroe we chose here because of the great reviews on Trip Advisor only to be very disappointed. My husband and I both had cod and chips with mushy peas. The chips were only just warm and the fish was grey and more batter than fish. Would not recommend ☹️

As a Coeliac it is hard to find GF fish & chips. At Castle Chippy, Clitheroe there is an extensive GF menu. Never had some many decisions to make before. Food is tasty & staff very knowledgable & friendly. Spam fritters are a guilty pleasure.

I visited in August with my colleague from overseas who had never had British fish and chips before. The staff were lovely and the food was fantastic!

We called in 15 minutes before closing on Bank Holiday Monday. We were then provided with fresh fish and chips that were the best ones we have eaten for several years. Fresh crispy batter and fabulous chips. Friendly courteous staff that gave no hint of it being the end of a Bank Holiday. Thank you very much

Visited this chippy on the way home after our walk in Gisburn Forest. Fantastic food and very friendly staff. Another added bonus they serve gluten free battered fish which is fab. Defintely visit this lovely place again.

We visited on a day out to Clitheroe menu was very extensive and reasonably price ,we choose Cajun chips ,sausage and chips and spam fritters and beautifully cooked and fresh with a nice cup of tea ,staff were very friendly and I have never seen such a choice on a chip shop menu will definitely be back again

The Fat smells very rancid and the flavour is left on the food not good. This chippy is in a very good position and is quite busy. Not much room in the shop, but an extensive menu.

Most chip shops will serve Gluten free food on one day a week, not this chippy. You can ask for gluten free food anytime. Great food very reasonably priced and brilliant for Coeliac sufferers.

Classic, cosy little place with plenty of good old British grub on the menu. Staff are friendly and great. Keep them spam fritters coming!

Great food, massive menu, friendly & efficient service. Open 7 days a week. Always had a great meal :)

Great chippy,best around.The food was top quality,portion sizes were great and staff very helpful.Highly recommended

excellent friendly chippy, great menu, yummy big fish and chips, quick service would recommend, good price too

Came to the chippy after hearing good reviews and definitely wanted to leave one myself now I've finished eating! Really varied menu and really tasty chips, plus service with a smile. We'll definitely make this a regular thing!

The smell drew me there, can honestly say the chips tasted as good as they smelled, well worth a visit

Not easy to park near at times but the staff are efficient and food always ready to take away. The fish are large and superb quality.

Freshly cooked, hot, delicious food. All the traditional favourites plus some things of their own creation. Cheap prices and decent sized portions.

Castillo de Chippy nunca deja de cumplir la marca!

Caminamos alrededor de Clitheroe, y tenía un aspecto en los jardines del castillo, que eran preciosas. Necesita un poco de inspiración, pero no desean una comida completa nos preguntábamos sin rumbo hasta que un olor fantástico llamó la nariz, como un dedo de olor a grandes.

Agradable "fish and chips" que puede servir para aquellos que necesitan una comida sin gluten pescado gratis y chip. Personal amable y tazas de buen té de fuerza. Recomendado.

Estoy sin gluten y este lugar es una bendición cada cosa en el menú vasto es Sin Gluten.

Venden todo lo que se puede pedir. A un precio muy razonable y el personal es de lo más servicial. No es caro y con mesas y sillas de exterior. Me y la familia comer aquí y nunca están decepcionados por el tamaño qualitynor portin.

Definitely the best chip shop in Clitheroe (the queues out the door prove that) but why do they shut so early?The haddock is excellent, and they have all the other types of fish. The chips are crispy EVERY TIME and what more can you ask for from a fish and chip shop? Parking can be a bit of an issue but park in any official car park (free on Sundays) and this is a five minute walk from any of them. A great treat after you've visited the castle or been for a walk in the Ribble Valley.

The castle Chippy goes that extra Mile to put a smile upon your face, Firstly you are greeted by not only the owner but his family with a warm smile. The shop is always busy due to popularity. For me what makes this chippy special is you can see everything being cooked fresh fish and sausages all cooked in front of you and all to a high standard of hygene. There is nothing worse than eating chips that have been reheated ,Well that never happens here .Very genourous portions this will explain why they are so busy also the chip shop is the old fire station that just gives it a quaint feel my advice is pop in you will not be disappointed

We have had take away fish and chips from here most days out to Clitheroe. They are always brilliant and there is only one drawback..... they are not in our town then we could visit more often.

Get stuck in....always open....spam fritters are always going strong and well worth a dabble...not tried their butties yet but they sound awesome...if you are here camping or visiting and looking for fresh nosh that's not the usual Ribble Valley posh stuff..then goto the Castle Chippy - it's better and cheaper than the pubs..

exstensive menu is an understatement. Ive never seen such a big choice at a chippy and everything ive tried has been lovely, perfect to eat in the castle park, lovely staff very clean premises

lovely owners very friendly large menu with lot of different food open all week till 8.0 every night big potions well worth a visit

Always enjoyed my Monday lunch treat from the castle chippy, one particular day I had ordered something but was 20p short, the lovely man let me off the change and told me to have a nice day and enjoy my lunch. Really made my day

.... and I'm not codding!Popped in for a late lunch and wasn't disappointed.Typical chip shop offerings plus few specials including "dabs and battered Christmas pudding with a chocolate orange sauce. I had a cod and chips which was well battered, moist and not overly greasy. The chips were great too. For the coeliacs out there, they can even serve gluten free batter if requested when you order.

No Chinese here, apart from Samosas everything is British including Haggis and Black Pudding. The fish was big and meaty, double burger voted great,the fish cake a bit soggy for me, but on the whole the family enjoyed what they chose. There are steps to climb for entry. Street parking.

Just had a chippy tea, first one for a long time and it was first class. The staff were smiling and looked happy, the service was very good and the portion size was great value and the fish were whoppers.

We regularly visit and the quality is always top notch. Very obliging with smaller portions or lightly battered fish. I always choose my favourite Plaice but Cod is v. good as well.

I have given 4 as i do not like chippy food in general, but this is an example of a good chippy! Mainly because there is a massive amount of choice and not just your standard fare.As I do not like chips, i opted for a sausage egg and bacon butty with a couple of spam fritters. The butty was lovely and the spam fritters with pure junk food heaven!I have eaten quite a lot whilst working, sitting outside in the castle that is a minute away, or inside (there is only one table though!). The staff are always really friendly and the price of everything is very reasonably to say its in such a good location.As i said, i do not like chippy food, but if someone asked me to recommend one, i would say this!

Always open - quick service, staff always friendly. A big selection of foods. I always head there as my first choice Chippy

Love this place so much we travel over 8 miles each way just for the food highly recommend to anyone xx

Blast from the Past , John Bulls OK its a chippy but a good one really busy so food was fresh and reasonably priced happy days

Chips were fresh and crispy! Just how they should be. Service was average not over friendly but after all it's only a chippy. Thanks

What more can I say, this is just the best chippy in Clitheroe. Tiny customer space, worth the wait for excellent fish & chips

Go there on Friday lunchtime for a cone of chips. You also get offered gravy or curry sauce on top which is free!!! Excellent chips for £1.

We like our chips - so went in search for a local chippy on our recent visit to Clitheroe. The Information Centre were very helpful, giving us a map as this was a little distance away from the station (about a 10 minute walk). I have to say, we have had better chips - but then again we've had much worse. But the portion (a cone) was a good size and at only £1 was very good value for money.

Best fish and chips around!! Wil be going again very soon, smashes all the ither chippys around here!! Brilliant food and cheap too!

Just been to this chippy and all i can say is what great food it is. Only went as we were passing through but glad we stopped as it was amazing. Must try

Regularly visit here and one of the best reasons to live close to Clitheroe..an extensive home made menu..john bull ,parched peas spam fritter to mention but a few lancashire delicacies all served up with a generous portion of chips by consistently cheerful staff.There is even a few chairs to eat in if you want.Worth the trip out if you live further afield.

What a shame, that I cannot give a nice review. Came back to this chip shop after being so lovely last year. The fish and chips were inedible. They were some of the worst we have ever had. They tasted as though the oil had not be changed in a while and it seems standards have dropped. The place could do with a good clean so disappointed.

This is our chippy of choice even though a couple are closer to home. Visited several times. Food consistently good. Some unusual items on menu like john bull balls, cheese and onion balls and dabs with fillings. The pan fried fish butty with garlic is huge and a nice change. They also have an extensive gluten free menu.

Went tonight on our last night in Lancashire. Haven't had gluten free chippy before so I was very happy to find this. I had gluten free battered sausage and chips and a scallop *call them dabs up here?!*. Really nice guys run it and don't act like making gluten free is putting them out. Would go there again if I'm in the area. Good prices and decent portions as you can see. (For scale,it's a large sausage).

only went to this establishment because it was the only fish& chip shop open in Clitheroe on a Sunday

This is one of the best chippies we have been to - such a great choice of food, and quite simply dont go anywhere else for that midday/afternoon belly filler - spam fritters are to die for, as were the chips. The amount of people outside said it all - nice friendly staff. Burgers to curry sauce - all excellent - well played you!

ok food not good service place to small staff need a little customer sevice training extensive menu but small portions for what you pay
