About us

Recently reopened following sympathetic renovation to restore its heritage charm, The Castle Inn dates back as far as the early 15th century and we're delighted to be writing another chapter in its story. As a prime example of a traditional English village pub, we intend to keep it that way: serving locally-sourced, home-cooked food and a wide selection of local beers from the Larkins, Westerham and Harveys breweries. On the inside, we have preserved all of The Castle Inn's traditional period features whilst creating a fresh and welcoming environment where both locals and visitors to the village will enjoy spending time. In the near future, we will be renovating the upstairs areas of the pub to create ten beautifully appointed boutique bedrooms.

Never a dull moment in The Castle! These guys have nailed it, the friendly welcoming, warm & friendly country village pub! Busy pub with staff who must be telepathically connected as nobody waits for drinks or help. Food is proper home cooked and we could not fault it, wine was lovely and well priced. Serious fun with the locals, the people passing through and the staff are just brilliant at keeping the interaction going. Amazing time. Thank you!!

Beautiful traditional pub set in a village owned by the national trust which still features the style of the 1600. Amazing friendly staff and great food .

Such a shame it was so quiet at 5pm on a Saturday. Good luck to the new managers, it is a beautiful place. Attention to detail is important though. The sink in the ladies that backs onto the garden....really black and mouldy around the seals and tap, floor was a puddle.....I wiped the sink with loo roll and it cleaned really easily...please check out as was quite off putting , hadn't been done in a while. We want to eat there but wonder if the kitchen, behind closed doors, is cleaner than the loos which we can see?!

Maybe not a usual review, but thanks to the manager that last Sunday found us an alternative place to dine. As we arrived at the pub after the kitchen closed, he offered a few other places and even called The Rock pub to check if they still serve food. Thank you for this, and if we are in the area, we will definitely visit you.... earlier. Customer service - top notch!

The best pubs are English countryside pubs as they are chock full of character, and the Castle Inn is certainly no exception! The staff were very friendly and easy to have a chat with (very knowledgeable about the pub itself) and the food was excellent. I had the burger and my partner jacket potato with prawns. You definitely get what you pay for. The chips were crisp on the outside but fluffy on the inside, and the burger was a no nonsense good old fashioned burger, just tasted great. Good selection of drinks available, including non alcoholic for those who drive. In the sun the garden is a lovely place to sit and enjoy your meal or just a nice cold drink!
