The Castle Inn — Restaurant in England

We visited here whilst staying in the area and the reviews looked great. We called to book a table the day before but reservations are not taken in the school holidays, we were advised instead that food would be served from 5.30pm on a Saturday. We arrived on Saturday at 5pm expecting it to be busy only to be met with a sign outside stating food is served all day and a mob of people all at the bar ordering food. It was a manic rush to find a table but we chose next to the bar, we chose our meals waited for the calm but it didn’t come so I joined the queue and waited patiently. The bar staff were lovely really friendly the order was taken with ease and the drinks were reasonably priced. Despite being so busy our food arrived very quickly within twenty mins. My beef burger was nice and hot but dripping with grease, my boyfriends chicken burger was cold and dry however we could not get anyone’s attention to get it changed. I ate as much of my meal as I could with the constantly dripping burger and my boyfriend had one bite of his chicken burger and left the rest. We paid our bill and promptly left, we could have raised it on paying but felt there was no point as we just wanted to leave as the hustle and bustle in the bar didn’t make for a relaxing eating experience. It’s a shame as the puddings board looked good and we were going to stay for the evening but that...

Ate here with friends and their dog so I can verify it's a dog friendly pub. You can't book a table in advance but there's a place to sit and wait, once you're on the waiting list, and I must admit the food smells coming from the kitchen were amazing while we waited. There aren't many tables inside and all were full when we got there, for good reason though. All the food was cooked fresh to order and when the Specials ran out, they ran out! I had a lovely steak, cooked to order (rare). The chicken curry got rave reviews around the table and the burger was enjoyed too. All well cooked. There were plenty of options for those with food intolerances and a good selection of gluten free choices. They had a code legend on their Specials board, which I thought was a brilliant idea. It's one of the few places in Corfe that has parking on the premises. I didn't see any disabled places, but I was able to park close enough so it wasn't a big deal. Inside is quite tight for space but it does have a step free entrance. It's small however, so although I'd suggest you leave a mobility scooter outside, a wheelchair would be ok for an experienced user. I'll happily...

This is a very quirky Ancient Pub in Corfe Castle. Unfortunately we would never step inside again. I had the Roast Chicken Breast Sunday Roast and my wife had the Roast Beef Sunday Roast. My chicken was cooked but stone cold as if it had been taken out of a Supermarket package and put on the plate with hot food. The skin was not even cooked or brown. Our Roast Potatoes were soft and chewy and felt as though they were cooked days ago and warmed up. The parsnips were Rock hard and chewy. Again thought they were days old. The Yorkshire Puddings were soft and very very chewy. You could not cut the Potatoes, Parsnips or Yorkshires very easily. The cabbage was washed out! All in all it was an absolutely awful meal and has to be the worst Roast we have ever had to chop through and eat. Please do not order the Sunday Roast as...
