Quick info
About Carlo's
On Market St in Alnwick, Carlo's is a fish and chips restaurant that also works as an ice cream shop. The kitchen cooks plates of fried British food, including haddock and chips served with real mushy peas. Sauces are made in-house, and that includes a special sauce to go with the fish and chips. The team also makes its own ice cream and gelato by hand, so a meal can finish with a scoop from the same business. The Belgian chocolate gelato is one of the flavours, and dairy-free ice cream is available for guests who avoid dairy.

“Enjoyable fish & chips in Alnwick! Dine in or takeaway! The haddock that we had was fresh with everything freshly fried to order. Only slight downside was the fish was a tad oily. Nonetheless, it was still a good meal and the place appeared very popular with the locals. The female staff member was polite and helpful.”
