Castle Inn — Restaurant in England

Finally got round to trying out the Castle's food. The food service hours, which used to be lunchtime only, have been extended until 8.00pm. by the new tenants, Vicky and Jamie. Two added incentives - Oakham 'Citra' and St. Austell 'Proper Job' are now available permanently in cask; and during January and February you can get two meals for a tenner! The regular full prices are not outrageous (7 or 8 quid is not expensive), but two meals for a tenner means you have a bit more to spend on beer - so that's almost like free beer!

Last night, then, there were six of us, and between us we tried the gammon, fish, scampi and a couple of pies. And I mean pies, not a basin of filling with a lid on, but real pies. I had cheese and onion pie, with gravy, mashed spuds and peas, and (a nice touch) some pickled red cabbage. Tasty food, excellent beer, and service with a smile. My wife has just taken on a rescue dog (Meg), which we took with us to the pub, and Vicky gave as much attention to Meg as to we humans.

So if you haven't been yet, get on down, you won't be disappointed. Support your local licensees, and keep a quality establishment like the Castle...

We would like to thank the 1 star reviewer who came into the pub last week and STUNK of weed so much that we could smell it upstairs. When questioned his reply was incoherent. Something about medical reasons was perhaps mumbled in there somewhere? Anyway, he was politely asked to leave after he finished his current drink and if he wished to come back to wrap up his "stash" so it didn't stink the pub out. As a response to your 1 star review and the lies it contained (I was not rude), don't ever come back in. That's a...

We are staying near the lakes for our holiday this year, so after a full day out we found this very small Inn with incredibly friendly people and food which is excellent. When the new owners have replied to previous reviews they have asked "what could we do to make things even better"?....well, I have a great suggestion. Move Castle Inn to Bournemouth, which is where we live, and we will be in daily. The welcome, the friendliness, the quality of the Gourmet Burger and the Fish & Chips was outstanding. Thanks...
