Short answer: Tintagel's main chip shop is The Big Fish on Fore Street (3.8 on Google; big portions and fried pickles, but coeliacs should note one reviewer says gluten-free fish shares the fryer). The best-rated chippy nearby is Peckish in Camelford, about 4 miles away (4.7 from almost 900 reviews). For a sit-down plate, The Olde Malthouse is the pub pick, with a good vegan version.
Tintagel village is thin on chip shops, so this is honest about it: one in the village, one whose status we can't confirm, and a much better-rated one a short drive away.
Fore Street, village centre. 3.8 from 388 Google reviews. Reviewers like the generous portions, the friendly staff and the fried pickles on the menu. It advertises gluten-free batter, but one reviewer says gluten-free items go in the same fryer as everything else, so it isn't one for coeliacs. Google lists: 12pm–8pm Monday to Saturday, 12pm–3pm Sunday.
Bossiney Road. 4.0 from 55 reviews. Cooked to order at very reasonable prices, with a long menu from cod to kebabs. Expect a wait at busy times. Google has no opening hours for it and one review says the business is for sale, so ring before you go.
Camelford, about 4 miles away. 4.7 from almost 900 reviews. The best-rated chippy in this corner of north Cornwall: homemade mushy peas and Cornish hake get the praise, and you can pre-order online for collection. Opening: Tuesday to Saturday, 12–1:30pm and 5–9pm; closed Sunday and Monday.
The pub pick in the village, with an excellent vegan fish and chips as well as the classic.
The lively village pub, with a log fire and big portions.
The big, central option, handy after the castle.

Yes: The Big Fish on Fore Street. Uncle Jacks Cabin on Bossiney Road may also be trading, but ring first.
Peckish in Camelford, about 4 miles away, is the best rated (4.7 on Google). It's closed Sundays and Mondays.
