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.
Dietary restrictions: Had soya milk for a non-dairy option.

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.

Lovey pub! Relaxed atmosphere. Friendly staff. Also dog friendly!
Quiz night is popular. The live bands bring in a good crowd.

We went here on a charity fundraiser night, the hog roast was amazing as were the ciders(one was a bit strong 😆) the music and atmosphere was great and the staff really attentive and interactive. I would highly recommend this pub.

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.

Great food and friendly service. They even checked our dog had water okay, they have a water tap outside with a bowl for dogs and offered a biscuit. Very kind.
I was impressed by how on the ball they were with food allergies. Good range of dishes to choose from, the pizza was delicious and portions hearty.

Had an afternoon tea at The Castle Inn and it was lovely. So much food (we even took the cupcakes home) the staff were so friendly and always on hand for a refill. Would definitely recommend 👌 it was £12.50 each which I thought was amazing value, as I've paid double that for afternoon teas before and never received anywhere near as much food!. Looking forward to visiting again.

Amazing little pub, really friendly and helpful staff and patrons. Good selection of drinks, and bar snacks.
A good amount of seating is available out the front of the pub, and inside as well as lots of parking at the rear of the pub.
There is also a stream engine parked sometimes out side of the pub, which is super cool! I wonder if your can get stopped for drink driving a stream engine?
