Reviews Overview
Most Liked
The Castle Inn excels in offering a great selection of beers and wines that delight any enthusiast. Guests rave about the friendly and professional staff, who provide attentive service and ensure a memorable experience. The menu features generous portion sizes and fresh ingredients, notably highlighted by the popular chicken and Stilton dish. Diners appreciate the value for money, especially given the quality of meals served. The casual setting offers comfortable outdoor seating, making it an excellent choice for sunny afternoons. Weekly special events, like local sports screenings, add excitement to the friendly atmosphere.
Most Disliked
Some guests mention that the busy peak hours, especially Saturday afternoons, can lead to longer wait times. Others feel that the shared kitchen setup may lack privacy during peak dining times. A few patrons express that while the dish selection is varied, they would like to see even more vegetarian options. Additionally, the occasional noise from a bustling crowd may detract from the quiet relaxation some diners seek. Despite these minor concerns, most visitors find that the positives outweigh any drawbacks.

Fantastic place to eat; the staff are helpful and professional. The food is amazing. We were a party of 10, and everyone's food was spot on. All meals came out at the same time, and not one person was disappointed. We will definitely be back. I can't recommend this place highly enough. Go visit and support this small business; we need to keep these pubs open.
