Four of us visited the Castle View for lunch on Tuesday 13/06/23. The premises are large, open plan with contemporary styling that is fairly typical of modern family chain pubs. The decor is nicely designed and whilst beginning to look tired in some area it remains acceptable. On our arrival tables were clear and the interior was clean, although we did notice food on the floor beneath a number of tables (presumably dropped by customers earlier in the day and not swept away when they left). We ordered through the Greene King app which was slick and straight forward to use. There was a good selection of food and drink to choose from. We spoke with three staff during our visit and all were pleasant and helpful. Drinks were brought to our table almost immediately after ordering and the food took 35 minutes. The food was of reasonable quality for the price paid; it was nicely prepared and well presented. We had two minor constructive criticisms about the food, 1) one ‘hand battered’ fish was pretty devoid of fish but another was fine and 2) the baguette contained raw onion not shown on the menu in the app. In summary, this is a pretty good pub chain restaurant, offering straight forward food in pleasant surroundings at a fair price. The team seem well motivated and are doing a good job. We would return and can recommend.

Having visited this place twice, both experiences weren't anything to shout home about, in fact, there was something to let everyone know in advance 😱. Firstly, on arrival it seemed like a nice pub, on my first visit I came to enjoy some food, a breakfast to see me throughout the day, the pub wasn't exactly busy and we found a nice comfy area to sit down. With orders placed our server came out and she seemed like a manager, nice and friendly but she looked overwhelmed, she was stressed about the visitors expecting that food ordered from the app would come out faster. In all fairness I can relate, I work with the public and sometimes their brains don't engage 🤣. The food was ok, nothing to shout about, generic breakfast, Ive had better for cheaper and it seemed that it had been under a heat plate for ages. The second visit was not a great experience, I visited with a friend for a catch up, he had his daughter with her and we sat down near the side of the bar, I went to order a drink and was ignored for a while, the old classic cough for attention helped, this did not impress the bar tender. He came across and as soon as he saw my friend's daughter, he said 'you 're going to have to leave that area this is over 18's only' I looked around and didn't see any obvious signs but it is what it is. Then the worst thing that can happen in the black country happened 😱 I ordered a Lilley's cider and he asked if I wanted ice, I was like, ..... No. (Why would someone ask this) the 'pint' came to the bar, I say pint but it had about an inch less off the brim. I asked him to top it up please, he said 'its like that because you didn't ask for ice'. YOU WHAT, I ordered a pint not minus the angels kiss. I felt conned and the service was not worth it.

What a great find!!! Being Gluten Intolerant it’s always a bit tricky to find nice food. Made it super easy to order from the GF menu, and I was lucky to come on a day that I got a free GF pudding 😍👍 I ordered the Chicken New Yorker. The chicken was tender, bacon crispy and the BBQ sauce complimented everything. Also came with a nicely cooked jacket potato, coleslaw and fresh salad - all tasted great!!! I order a Malibu Colada - Fruity, exotic and a nice Malibu kick. For my free GF pudding I went for Apple & Berry Crumble with custard. First time trying a GF version and you would not know, really tasty 😋 Love the design & decoration of the restaurant/pub, makes it really individual and interesting. Also got seating outside for warm days like today. Top shout out to the lovely staff who made my visit special and really looked after me. Great Service, Great Food - Highly Recommended!!!

The staff and place here a very lovely. The environment is very cozy and warm and perfect for a date night for me and my partner after a long day. The staff are also very kind and helpful, we did not boon and we were shown to a clean table straight away in a private area. However the food and drinks let's the place down. We waited over 40 minutes for our food and it was sadly nothing special, burger was dry and chips were cold. Eventhough having a wide variety of drinks which is great, they don't taste the best. Very strong, cocktails aren't mixed very well, the bottom of the drink tastes like a strong cleaning fluid, very unpleasant. We'd come here for a lunch for a small bite but sadly not for a dinner again.

We booked online but when arriving they told us to pick any table, which we did, 20 minutes later got told we had to move because it was reserved. We booked but had no table reserved? We got placed next to a loud table full of people having drinks. Chicken burger had grease pouring out like water and gave us our mains straight after eating our starters would rather of had a little gap in between. Staff were pleasant enough but food wasn’t that great, cheesecake was the best part Also was chewing gum down the side of our table
