Wow, what a welcoming pub. The staff were so lovely, bent over backwards to ensure we had all we needed and more. Even the dog got spoilt. Initially we went into The Spotted Dog pub next door but were made to feel as if we were Martians walking in from another planet/cold reception. Strange feeling, so we immediately left and had a happy meal here instead. Thank you all for being so wonderful and keep up the good work 👌
Husband and Wife team. The barman (husband) lovely man, full of banter. His wife was very helpful in providing a dairy alternative for a coffee. The cake we had was yummy, home made I think. The fire was roaring, very welcoming. A very pleasant experience.
The atmosphere here is a little more sophisticated than at the Spotted Dog. My build your own fish burger was great - the fried egg wonderfully cooked atop and a great combination with the Brie. The chips were spot on and not greasy. However, the same cannot be said about the onion rings - they were soggy and evidently fried in the fish oil. My partner’s cheese & onion omlette was a little dry. The onion ought to have been fried and then added to the omlette rather than be given raw to the side. Otherwise, friendly service and a great vibe - I recommend and hopefully the chef will incorporate my constructive criticisms. 🌲
Lovely first visit to the castle. We booked for a family birthday, with a large group and they were so accommodating. Very traditional pub, with some really lovely Christmas decorations up! Staff very friendly! And lovely food. Thank you! We will definitely visit again.
Great and friendly neighbourhood pub. We had a great time here. Booked a place for a Sunday roast for Father’s Day. Nicely Surprised, when we arrived, we were told meals are half priced for fathers on that day. I ordered the lamb pie there, which is great as it is pastry all around rather than like some pubs provided pie in a dish with only pastry on the top. We will come back again for Steak and Ale pie. Thank you.
