Castle Donington Fish Bar in North West Leicestershire

A* from start to finish. Attentive service, relaxed atmosphere, fantastic food. Second time coming and will find ourselves coming back whenever in the area.

Fish, chips and peas £17.00 a portion. This a tired village chippy not a gastro pub dining experience. Begrudgingly paid as I was hungry. It wasn’t that great I can assure you. Ridiculously over priced and I won’t be back.

What can i say but they were the worst fish and chips we have ever had. Chips were cold and dark brown, obviously old fat. £10 plus for a small fish and chips which was disgusting. Disappointing treat for Mum.

Batter on cod was soggy. Chips weren’t great. Very expensive and service was slow. Wouldn’t use again.

Worst repeating and after taste doner kebab I've ever had in my life, chips was fine but never be returning.

Excellent food, great and friendly service. Group of 12 all served at the same time. Cant beat it. We all had fish and chips but other diners had steak on a stone. will definetly be back.

Just been for an early Christmas dinner with friends. This little gem of a restaurant is at the side/back of the takeaway fish and chip shop. Its beautifully decorated with comfortable seating. The menu has a good variety of starters, mains and puddings. Alcohol is served too. I had a fish fillet in a brioche bun with chips salad peas. The home made onion rings were to die for. The others had steak on a sizzling platter. Mediterranean chicken, chicken tikka, cod, burger all served with thick cut chips, salad peas. Puddings various cheesecake and lemon meringue and there were plenty of other choices. Coffee was posh and tasted lovely. It was well presented and we were clucking how wonderful the food is. A gastronomic delight. It really is a hidden gem. Thank you for a fantastic night.

Came for a meal with family; I’m usually a picky eater when it comes to steak, and usually never eat it all.: but intrigued by the idea of it being cooked on the stone. The steak was delicious - was able to test different levels of cooked and ensure each bite was cooked to my taste! The steak was gone within minutes! Got a side of black pepper sauce which was lovely and creamy, but the steak was great without it too. Very generous portion of chips and onion rings ; and the batter was fresh and crunchy! Friendly and welcoming staff. Highly recommend. My sister in law described it as better than miller & carter - and she loves it there. Look forward to going back with family in a few weeks!

Dined in the new fish bar restaurant as a couple. My husband had fish and chips, I had the 8oz rump steak and chips. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his fish and chips, I can’t review them much more than that as I didn’t eat them. My steak (which comes served on a hot stone for you to cook to your liking) was absolutely beautiful. It may as well have been a fillet steak as it was so tender. It was served with a bbq dip and a mayo and a beautifully fresh side salad. The onion rings and chunky chips were lovely. Also had a very good bottle of red recommended / supplied by The Honest Wine Service (also in Castle Donington) It was all spot on. Would definitely recommend and will return.

Naff staff, very slow, and over priced. I think that about sums it up really. The food was OK, but not good enough to compensate.

An order of large fish, chips and peas with a battered sausage and chips came to £22.50 with delivery. Fish was ok as was the sausage but not amazing, however the chips where absolutely vile and certainly not fresh with no taste and the peas where hard and not that nice. Charging £3.50 for delivery for less than a mile trip. Overall not sure there was value for money or the quality of the food fit the prices charged. Will not be using again or recommend to others living local.

Absolutely a hidden gem. Attached to a fish and chip shop this restaurant is absolutely great. Probably the best steak I’ve had. Cook it to your own liking on the hot stone.

I was @ the Download Festival & bought Cod, Chips & Peas here prior to the start on Thursday. The quality & freshness was outstanding; I have never been served better cod. Really delicious !

After seeing they charge £3 for delivery and we live in the same street we decided to pre order & collect. Staff let this place down big style. Not at all friendly or welcoming unless it's just for people they don't know! Good job the fish & chips are good or we would go to Nicks in Ashby who by the way when giving a large chips give you enough twice over here you just get enough for 2 people and none left over ☹

Visited a couple of times, beautiful piece of cod and the chips were nice and fresh. Also do great chicken nuggets

Had curry & chips with a battered fish, great portions, have really enjoyed. On the downside, the bartered fish is a bit hit & miss whether the batter is cooked enough, crisp on the outside but soggy within, this has happened a couple of times which really spoils the taste. Won’t stop us from ordering the best chips in donington

Great idea while under lockdown. Use lt a couple of times now. Never had bad chips from there always consistent

As other reviews state this is not the cheapest fish and chip shop but the portions are large and the quality excellent. Currently the only seating inside is the window ledge and there are two picnic tables outside. They are building a restaurant area and this will add to an already great place.

very good fish and chips - not cheap for a takeaway, but very good fish in particular - big portions, good for sharing!

Fresh fish is more difficult to buy and more expensive according to the owner but waiting for a large fresh cod or haddock to be cooked is well worth it and the meal deal of large fish chips and peas or beans is pretty good...

This local fish shop prepares and sells good quality fresh fish from Grimsby and much more including kebabs Pizzas etc. the fish and chips were lovely.

We bought one adult fish and regular chips and one fish and childs chips. The fish was ok but the chips were absolutely disgusting. It was as though they had been fried twice. There was still a lot of potato skin on them, they were...

The fish and chips from this local fish restaurant are as good as any sea-side resort where you expect fish. Other things are also plentiful but the fish is excellent especially if ordered in advance and cooked ready and waiting for you.

Mixed kebab was disgusting,the chicken was overcooked and solid and the meat was like leather. Go into Sawley now for our takeaways.

Freshly cooked fish and chips is still a great British treat and this local fish and chip never fails to provide a good service, as well as the other things such as pizzass and kebabs etc.

The cod we ate tonight was the nicest and freshest we have had anywhere for a long time. I had to wait whilst it was cooked for me but it was worth every moment. There are all the usual other things such as pies and...

We have been buying fish and chips from here for over 40 years. A lovely little friendly shop and the f & c are totally delicious.

This fish and chip shop in the heart of the thriving Borough Street in Castle Donington supplies very good quality fresh fish and chips burgers pizzas and all the usual accompaniments at reasonable prices. There is outdoor seating for lunch or a nice place to...

Only my second visit to the Donington Fish Bar and wasn't disappointed. good choice and a phone in and collect set up,unfortunately no delivery but worth the trip

This excellent fish and chip restaurant serves much more than just fish and chips including pies and pizzas but the freshly cooked fish is excellent and good value for money.

Pre-order or wait for a fish to be freshly cooked for you and you will enjoy it very much. There is a whole range of other regular food such as pies pizzas and burgers but the freshly cooked fish is excellent.

I am never disappointed with this local family run fish and chip shop which serves good quality fresh fish cooked whilst you wait if necessary in clean oil giving a good clean batter and lovely chips. all the other things such as pies and pizzas...

We ordered a large haddock and waited for it to be cooked. Cod wasn't available but the haddock tasted very good. It was delicious and the chips and peas good too. Highly recommended.

Promised my daughters and grandchildren a chippy lunch and wished I hadn't called here. When I pay £2.20 for a portion of chips I don't expect to have to remove loads of them because of black marks and eyes left in them. Lazy not to...

WE had a very unprompted meal - and it was lovely - thank you so much for accommodating us - we so appreciated it. Xxx

Great fish and chips,always taste nice and fresh as does everything else in the chippie does,keep up the good work and service... well done

Medium bag of chips for £1.95, barely enough to feed one person as a meal side dish. They do a child's portion for £1.50, I can only think it consists of 5 chips. Absolute rip off.

I tried their fish and chips and I have to say that it was pretty good. The place is awesome because you can order your food and bring it home which is not bad. The girls were very friendly and super gentle. They have some...

Been twice in the last two weeks . The staff could be a bit more cheerful but the chips/fish and fishcake are 10/10 cant wait for our next visit.

After a long travel to the race track and because it was my birthday my husband decided to treat us to a meal.we picked here due to the children fancying fish and chips.the fishcake was cheap and barly edible and the chips were rock hard...

Always very tasty and up to our standards. Good service and very efficient. We use this place regularly and will continue to do so. Delicious fish and chips and seems clean and hygienic.

This is a decent chippie, never horrible and sometimes great only inconsistency makes me call it average, if your in castle donington and in need of a chippie this is ok

Used this place may 2016 because we where passing by and the kids fancied fish and chips. The staff are miserable and not lack customer care skills. The fish is bland and tastes worse than findus frozen fish. I will never be going to this...

This is first class fish and chip shop serving much more than fish and chips but the freshly cooked fish and chips are excellent

Love the chips and other food. Staff are friendly and it's located in a great area. It is the highest price in the area but I still love it

Been here few times not very friendly really apart from one lady who serves. Had a fish not cooked well no raste. They do a large selection of food. Burgers, kebabs ect. I would just stick with the chips. Sorry Just got tables out side...

Eaten from here a few times, always been fresh and enjoyable but not particularly cheap there, but you do get decent quality.

Large Haddock was on special offer so we ordered 4 with chips and mushy peas. Good quality, hot and delicious.

Never had anything but brilliant food from donington fish bar would go back ten fold. The food is made fresh daily you cannot go wrong. The batter is light and not greasy, the fish is fresher than fresh and the chips aren't soggy like most...

I recently moved to the town so thought I should try out the local fish and chip shop. I have been left feeling very disappointed. The chips were dry, rubbery, tasteless, and cold! The batter on my haddock was soggy, although the only positive was...

Not been in Castle Donington Fish Bar for some time, but visited twice in the past week. The food was fresh, good quality and plentiful and served by friendly staff. Ill be using this as my regular chip shop from now on.

E' un fast food da asporto. non ci sono tavoli o sedie. Si mangia pesce fritto di qualità media. Il...

Have visited Castle Donington 1st time after few years. Glad this place still works. Tasty food, nice people and good service. Excellent chips, fresh fish. Best I had for long time

We have just moved to Castle Donington 4 weeks ago and having eaten here already 3 times we thought we would write a review! We have had fish and chips, sausage and chips and the kebab! (don't make any comments lol) All of which has...

You don't have to go to to the seaside to get good fish and chips. You may need to wait just a few minutes to have your fish cooked whilst you wait but it is well worth it. Pizzas and other goods also available. Recommended

The chips here are really good and the best I have had in a long time. My parents like coming and having chips from here too so they must be good!!

If you are prepared to wait 8 minutes for a piece of cod to be fried for you whilst you wait it is very worthwhile doing do. There are plenty o

This fish and chip shop sells much more than fish and chips including good looking pizzas but the fish and chips especially when made to order are good tasting and good value.

There is no issue with the quality of the food from here but the portion sizes are tiny and they are quite pricey. They have a captive market in Donington so they will always do well despite this. We only use this chippy if we...

Fantastic!!! Freshly cooked fish and chips after a long day visiting friends in Wales. The fish is so tasty and just flakes with lovely fresh batter, not too thick not too thin. Chips were hot and fresh and not at all scrappy. Visit here around...

My wife and I have been to this chippy on several occasions, simply because as stated by other reviewers it's the only one in the village. Prices very high for the standard of the food. We keep hoping it will improve.

I was advised to have the 'mini fish' which was huge. Fish and more chips than I could eat for less than five pounds, really great deal. There was a queue of people waiting to order so I realised the food must be good and...

This is a regular chippy for us and probably eat from here once a month, great Donna or chicken kebab in a pitta or nan bread. My son loves the sausages.

Great freshly cooked fish and likewise crisp clean hot chips, very good. Very clean shop and good service. Highly recommended

My wife and I have recently bought and are doing up a house just up the road from this brilliant chip shop after working up an appetite several times recently we have popped in to this great chippy good value for money excellent quality fish...

Bad chips, soggy batter and solid fish... Not a good chip shop. Price is high top. Would avoid if possible, eat somewhere else!

have been visiting castle donington over the past week and this is such a wonderful little chip shop. i had chips and haddock. the haddock was beautifully cooked in a flavoursome batter and the chips were divine can tell they were made fresh in house...

The food at donington fish bar is one of top quality and this is no exaggeration. The chips are freshly made in shop and you can taste the quality. The fish just melts in your mouth covered in a beautiful mouthwatering batter, the pizzas freshly...

I found this to be a very fine dining experience. The chips were amazing and also the pizza is some of the best I have ever had. I would recommend to anyone who loves quality take away food to definately eat from here. Also I...

Chips priced at £1.95 a portion and fish that was small and the batter not very good, on the of the worst most expensive chippies i have visited. Please avoid.

Just like a chip shop should be, good value and big portions. Choice is extensive but not ridiculous, portions are big and everything is freshly cooked.

Only place in Castle Donington to get some fish n chips! Chips r great, good value, modern takeaway outlet.

This fish and chip shop is the best for miles around. Good quality fish and chips as well as all the other usual things including pizza salads cobs etc. The fried food is always tasty and fresh and good value.

Brill little fish popular with local as there is another fish shop in village. But i only use this one. Good location right in the heart off the village.
