What BigBaldyAl doesn't like about Castelvecchi:
This used to be a superb chippy but standards have plummeted. I ordered a takeaway Haddock supper £9:50) and it was frankly terrible. Soggy yellow chips and a decent sized fish in more soggy batter. I ate the fish and a couple of chips and what was left went in the midden. View all feedback. What Lynne likes about Castelvecchi:
The breakfasts are always so delicious and the staff are so friendly. It doesn’t matter what you order you won’t be disappointed. They have started doing home delivery which is also great! Highly recommend. Service: Dine in Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: £1–10 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 View all feedback.

Castelvecchi Fish & Chips has long been a local favorite, renowned for its hearty fare and friendly atmosphere. However, recent visits have shown a decline in food quality, with reports of soggy batter and reheated chips. While some patrons reminisce of delightful experiences, including perfectly cooked fish and attentive service, others express frustration over cleanliness and service delays. Despite these concerns, the establishment's longstanding charm remains, with loyal customers praising its welcoming staff and traditional offerings. For those seeking a classic chippy experience, Castelvecchi still has much to offer. Overall, prospective diners should weigh the mixed feedback carefully.
