Castle Fisheries in Richmondshire

Great fish poor chips but served late afternoon so maybe before the big fryer is on? Good and hot, good value, will be back but maybe a bit later on!

Chips burnt but undercooked, horrible 😫

Lovely chips cooked fresh to order

Best chippie I've found in the area. Batter is light (not too thick) and they have a choice of sizes fish wise to meet most appetites. The chips were good also. I ordered fish (cod) and chips for myself and friends and everyone commented best one they've tried yet in the area (they've tried a few). Sorry I didn't take photos as I was cold and hungry so pics got overlooked lol

!!WORST FISH AND CHIPS I HAVE EVER EATEN IN MY LIFE!! *Overpriced*Rude*Meal fell through the bottom of card board box before I got home. Yuck!!!!

Great fish and chips as always xxxx

We were on holiday in Richmond and fish and chips are a firm favourite in our house and whenever we’re on holiday, whatever part of the country we always have takeout fish and chips and I can honestly say this was one of the best we’ve ever had and better than a fish and chip from a shop that won a national award.

Very good food very reasonably priced will go back.

Always come here when I go to North Yorkshire to visit the area. I’m from Whitley bay and it’s well worth the drive 50 plus miles or so just for the food! Always pay in cash, cash is king! Great food at a decent price.

Beautiful Haddock and Chips will go again. Beautiful Haddock and Chips will go again. Beautiful Haddock and Chips will go again.

Decent fish and chips but preference for cash over card

Ordered Chips & Curry sauce online to collect. Went to pick up order and noticed the guy microwaving the curry sauce and oven cooking the chips. Granted I was a late order however well within the cut off (obviously) to order food. He’d clearly already turned off all of the fryers and pans for sauce etc. He noticed that I’d noticed him going to the oven so he walked over to the fryer and pretended to shake chips about! To top it off, as he passed me the food he said “Hurry up and go home now”.. I’m not normally bothered about writing reviews but basically, if you can’t be arsed with customers after a certain time, then close earlier. Ridiculous.

Stood at the counter for nearly 2 minutes before someone appeared to serve me. Got a fish pattie that was half as thick as you would get in most other fish shops

Just excellent fish and chips always

Epic fish and chips once again at our last visit. Never fails, always gorgeous and not greasy. We travel from Middlesbrough just for the fish and chips

Absolute dog water, over priced and bad quality £2.50 for a small pot of gravy ridiculous. Never going again. Dog crap!

Absolute hot dog juice. Overpriced, rude staff, unclean floors and 2.50 for a small pot of gravy. Is this a joke? Raw raw raw chicken sold also. reply- NOT A FAKE REVIEW HOT DOG JUICE IS A SAYING 🙄🙄🙄 AND IT IS 2.50

Absolute dog water gravy was very overpriced. Monkey nuts. Raw chicken I had your fish and chips and I almost chocked on a price of plastic in the fish.

Great chippy. Lovely chips and fish with great curry sauce

Couldnt be happier with our visit to this hidden gem - open on New Year's Day, with freshly cooked chips (extra crispy by request), and the best pineapple rings I've had on British soil! Clearly a 'fish n chip' shop that knows it's craft; oil at the right temperature, so no soggy chips or batter, friendly and helpful service, along with fair prices. What more could you want from a chip shop?!

Beautiful fish and chips and so fresh as cooked from order , service was 10/10 lovely staff . Thank you castle fisheries

Have had excellent-tasting fish & chips from Castle Fisheries twice this month. They remained hot on journey home.and I wouldn't buy anywhere else. Extremely reasonable Takeaway @ £8.

Love castle fisheries amazing food great staff especially Charlote food is always piping hot tastes lovely would highly recommend

Just finished my tea? Not exactly finished! Just bought my tea £10.20 fish chips and peas with a can of Diet Coke? When I got back less than 5 mins away the food was Luke warm chips went cold really quick and the fish was dripping with grease/fat I’m really disappointed apparently there are a couple of other chippy near by I recommend finding one of those?

Lovely chips suitable for vegetarians and curry sauce and battered pineapple. Veggie burger could've done with sauce and salad but otherwise very nice :)

Great fish and chips. You have to wait a few minutes for them to be cooked, but then you are rewarded with melt in the mouth batter. Recommended

The food from here is always fresh and piping hot. you can tell its cooked fresh to order. Always good value and good portions.

Food cooked to order , have used for years but getting very expensive fish very small , but the worst thing for me is it’s CASH only , if you have no cash they send you next door to the ATM 😲, I now use one of the other shops in Richmond .

Had the best fish and chips from Castle Fisheries whilst on holiday. Piping hot and well cooked. Would definitely come again!

Great fish and chips...cooked fresh, tasted amazing.

They do a good thin N crispy pizza in any size bigger than small. Pepperoni with peppers and garlic sauce for me 😋

Freshly cooked fish and chips taste amazing

Best fish and chips around. Always go there. Friendly fast service, and great food.

Disgrace Ripped me off charged me double for several items and their bread buns are stale And they never have it ready

Just had a fish and chip takeaway. Food was piping hot and delicious. Crisp batter on the cod. Generous portions.

They beat up people brutally, they don't give respect at all, very bad experience i have ever met

Ordered large cod and chips for both me and my wife. Cooked fresh so nice and hot. Good crispy batter. Chips could have benefited from a few minutes longer but on the whole very enjoyable.

Absolutely disgusting, got home and bit into completely raw chicken (see photos). Called Castle Fisheries and they said don’t worry I can get some free chicken next time... then the guy hung up the phone. Absolute joke. We used to like this place for fish and chips but you’ve lost a customer for life. Enjoy your investigation from the Food Standards Agency...

Reported to the Food Standards Agency Absolutely disgusting, got home and bit into completely raw chicken (see photos) and ate a mouthful... don’t worry, it made me sick immediately so it was brought straight back up. Called Castle Fisheries and they said don’t worry I can get some free chicken next time... then the guy hung up the phone. Absolute joke. We used to like this place for fish and chips but you’ve lost a customer for life. Enjoy your investigation from the Food Standards Agency... Their response on here: “We kindly asked you to bring the food back so we can investigate. You spoke to us rudely and swore at us on the telephone.” This is completely untrue, the photos speak for themselves. They have showed no ownership at all... a genuine apology and a refund would have been understandable but I’m happy to escalate this much further! Enjoy

Arrived at 9:25pm when the shop closed at 9:30. Absolutely no problem cooking fish and chips to order at this time with no hesitation. I’m from Northumberland and this would not have happened at this time of night without some comment or other! Really friendly service and the fish and chips were to die for. So fresh and the batter was amazing. You deserve your recent award. Thank you so much for letting us in so close to closing time and also letting my cockapoo wait with us other than outside in the cold. I’ll definitely be back when next in the area.

First fish and chips of 2022. Went to my usual chippy. Didn't let me down. I've tried the other chippies in richmond but been coming here for a while now. There was a problem with chip quality for a couple of weeks last year but it got sorted. Like most chip shops the batter can be a little oily but not today. The batter was nice and crispy and as usual the portion size is really good.

I went here with a few friends to order a takeaway. I wasn't asked to close the front door I was told to by the staff. I ordered a kebab with mayonnaise. Turns out that it was too complex for them to get right so was left with no sauce. I would recommend Jacoubs - but get cash as they are still in the 1950's and don't have a card reader.

Always first class, fish and chips are the best in town.

Amazing portions. Well cooked and hot. Highly recommended. Staff very friendly and polite. Always use this f and f takeaway.

Had fish and chip from here this weekend. Nothing special! Fish over cooked and greasy, chips pretty ordinary. I’ve give this place the title of best fish and chips in Richmond because the alternatives are inedible. This place whilst better is still pretty naff

Good price for fish supper food good too

Good fish and chips friendly staff

Great fresh fish and chips, quick service and good staff.

Massive choice all piping hot. Fish was exceptional

Well where to start, I am a local to Richmond and would class myself as a local to this chip shop but I can honestly say I won’t be going back, it’s seems to of gone right down hill since it came under some kind...

Fish lovely, chips almost cold. Disappointed.

Busy, quick, excellent chips. Takes orders over the phone. My daughters favourite chippy in Richmond.

Lovely well cooked cod and chips Be prepared they don't take cards you need cash.

The food was fast, hit and yummy!!

Great food.. cooked fresh! Decent amounts and a good price. Will visit again!

Food is ok, but probably the most ignorant and disrespectful people I've ever encountered. Second only to Jacoubs on Richmond which is even worse for ignorance and horrendous customer service.

Fresh. Hot. Good portion. Well recommended.

Great Menu. Food delicious and freshly cooked

Had a few choices of chip shop in Richmond but delighted we chose this one. Great quality food and the fish was outstanding. Eating al fresco looking at the waterfalls was just perfect.

Well cooked meal and good portions.

Chips, were old dry black burnt, the food was stale. Pees like water as was the curry. Won’t be coming back here.

Visited with my partner. I paid by card £12 for two fish and chips, The male assistant said their card reader didnt work. I showed him my banking app THE payment had gone through.. He said we needed to pay by cash. We paid £12...

Really really good fish. Large is huge and more than enough food. Wife enjoyed the chicken bites as well.

Lovely fish, fantastic chips, hated teacake but was still lovely

Used this shop alot in the past but very disappointed with the food today chips were very dark and soggy and sausages very overcooked

Not a regular, just visiting so had no idea what they were like. Just wish I had read the more recent reviews first rather than relying on an average score. I had haddock which apart from being small was good which is where the 2...

I'm paralyzed and got a driver to go in for me and get chips. Scrapd and gravy. By the time I got home and opened box I had 2 fish in there food was nice but Im not keen on fish so only had few chips and alot of scraps

We’ve used this place for many years but the last 3 visits the food has been awful and we won’t be going back. The fish was soggy, greasy and barely cooked and the chips tasted of old oil, were dark brown and yet, ironically, some weren’t cooked through. The staff are not wearing masks and no plexiglass glass in place. No gloves worn.

Fish and chips were tasty but staff not wearing face masks or sheilds and no perspex barrier so felt a little unsafe regarding covid...if were covid safe would give 4 stars

Excellent staff and best fish and chips .😊TC

Best fish and chips far many years

Fantastic food & pleasant staff.

Great fish and chips here. Service and food very good.

Says fresh fish on the wall yet they used frozen fish , guy sighed when I asked for a pickled egg , 12.50 was far to much for the rubbish I was served , he tried to toast the bread bun I asked for and...

Why take phone orders at all of you’re going to keep them waiting AN HOUR. GREEDY GREEDY PEOPLE. They take your money and make you wait another 30 MINUTES. Got it home and it was all wrong order anyway!! Waste of time. And waste of...

It was expected that this evening would be busy, telephoned order through abrupt manner on the phone 30 mins to pick (OK no problem) went in to pick was told 5 mins wait outside another 30 mins before order was ready! poor organisational skills, too...

Used to be a decent chippy, now its changed hands the new people are arrogant and rude. Not very friendly at all.

Good fish and chips fried to order

Went there tonight very busy had to wait over an hour for fish and chips which is abit excessive... The batter on the fish was soggy and let's just say the chips were inedible... Brown, cold, overcooked just absolutely battered they were been cooked for...

Lovely food .. delicious and fresh

Very Tasty and Fresh fish and chips. Portions were generous too. Would highly recommend. Worth the calories :)

Really good prices and the food is quick, all the attributes of a classic fish and chip shop. The menu is really big too, there's little in there you can't get. Occasionally we've had thinks missing from orders which is inconvenient when you don't realise till you're home.

Great prices.basic but tasty food. We had Southern fried chicken. Yummy. Chips were of the soggy but tasty variety.

Was ok.... Believe the guy was in a rush and not up to the same quality we are used to

Best fish shop around here! I won’t go anywhere else! Never had a bad set of fish and chips really good prices. I love them, the workers are always nice and friendly, and all through lockdown this was my saviour for a good takeaway. Been...

... but its the only chip shop open :|. food was well cooked, not fast food, cooked while you wait ... while you wait for them to get around to it.

After a day in the rain visiting natural attractions around the area we were in need of something hot and filling. Opted for takeaway and what we got to eat was worth every penny. Friendly staff and fast service. Would recommend if in the area!!

Had never used before as we live in Darlington, but id highly recommend,fish was really tasty and chips were also tasty my wife had a burger which she said needs to have sauce otherwise tasty.

I don't normally eat fish and chips due to watching my weight, but I thoroughly enjoyed their food. Not too greasy but very tasty. Good quality and quantity

Possibly the worst fish and chips I have ever eaten!! Soggy batter on the fish, greasy, soggy chips and tasteless peas. Fortunately it was very reasonably priced. I would not return.

Just had food from here, where shall I begin? The fish was just about OK, the chips were dry, we only got one portion of chips when we ordered two. The spam fritter was not spam and they advertise pukka pies yet they are clearly not, not even close considering they aren't even circular! The ordering was chaotic and two other people were given wrong orders while I waited! I really can't recommend more seriously to STAY AWAY.

Popped here whilst on holiday after searching for a fish shop on the Internet. It’s got good reviews....but my food didn’t live up to “the best fish and chips around” or “The best”. The fish was lovely but small but the chips were disgusting. Even...

Absolutely disappointing... bought chips to take out . Horrible, so disappointed. I'm a local and didnt expect it to be rubbish .

£2 for great value chips! Made to order and a great portion, recommend for fish & chips!

Very good food. Highly recommended

Just had a chippy tea. Gorgeous fish and chips. Mushy peas. Mmm!!!!!

We had been to the coast for the day but decided to get fish & chips on our way home rather than there because it was a bit earlier than we would normally eat. We had heard/read good reports about Castle Fisheries so decided we...

Travel from Darlington cause it's worth it

Bit greasy but good portion sizes

Lovely light batter. Good cod and tasty chips. Friendly staff. Many thanks. Julia
