Castle View Fish - Carmarthenshire

We have had great chips here in the past, yummy curry sauce and catch of the day fish. But during our weekend stay just couldn't find out from anywhere when they would be open. Common you can really do better! It's 2023, even if you change your hours spontaneously you can still post it, it only takes 1 minute .

Hoping to have fish chips on the foreshore this evening. Blow me if this place wasn’t closed! Ruined our plans. Makes no sense to be running a business and not open on a bank holiday weekend. Why doesn’t the owner sell the business to someone who really wants to work hard and provide a service for Laugharne residents and holiday makers alike.

Tried several times to get fish and chips from this shop during our week's holiday in Laugharne but no matter when we went it was always shut. No notice in window explaining why or advising of new hours. Eventually asked lady serving in the nearby gift shop (highly recommended by the way, beautiful gifts! if she knew what their opening hours were and to my amazement she advised that the shop has closed permanently, v disappointing. A notice in the window letting customers know this might have been helpful.

We visited this shop a number of times during our two week stay in Laugharne before we actually found it open. Chips were hard (sounded like gravel being dropped on a tin roof as I put them on the plate) dry and luke warm despite eating them within five minutes of leaving the shop priced at £4 regular and £5 large. Whether they were trying to create a triple cooked effect, I've no idea but really didn't achieve it. Battered sausage wasn't battered once you cut into it as the batter just fell off the sausage, again very hard and very dry. Menu quite limited and premises not particularly inviting. Staffed by two ladies who really didn't seem particularly happy to be there and definitely could never be classed as friendly and welcoming. Wasnt offered salt and vinegar which would have made it all a little bit more palatable. So disappointing after a long day exploring the beautiful local area.

Would love to review, however when we got there at 7.05pm, it had already closed despite the info saying 7.30pm! No info on the door, or even a note to say ‘sorry closed early’ . So many people were turning up, just to be disappointed, especially during holiday season.
