The Castle Inn — Restaurant in England

This is what I'd call a 'proper' pub, traditional in decor, a few different rooms to sit in, with outside tables and rear garden. Staff very friendly and polite. There were a couple of decent cask ales available, eg Hophead - although I wasn't able to sample one.

We were there for Sunday Lunch, it seems a pretty popular place so maybe worth reserving a table in advance as not a huge number of tables inside. As it was fairly busy it took nearly an hour for the food to be served, they did apologise for the wait, but not great as we had children with us. They have a supply of old chess boards and domino sets so that occupied them a bit.

The food and portions were pretty good. We had a couple of mixed roasts - pork very nice and beef cooked well but not the best cut. Veg and potatoes all very good, seemed freshly cooked. As I'm a Yorkshireman a good Yorkshire pudding is a must, these were definitely large, but crispy throughout. Also ordered the Sea Trout, again, this was cooked well and tasted delicious. We ordered a mix of desserts, all very tasty and we'll presented.

All in all, we had a good experience here and we'd go again. We had plenty of chance to chat with friends whilst waiting, there was no rush to get rid of us...

Stopped by here on the 3rd July, purely by chance, I was in Winnersh and the pub I originally planned to visit was closed. When I arrived here it was fairly quiet and I didn't have to search for a parking space.

When I walked in there were a few people at the bar, all dressed formally, so you can imagine my thoughts as I strolled in in just shorts and a t-shirt. However the other people there were very friendly, stopped for a chat and made me feel really welcome, the bartender was very pleasant with a welcoming smile.

The selection of drinks, although smaller than some pubs, was still more than enough choice for me, with a few ales, lagers and even cider on tap. As well as a wine list on the bar itself. (I'm sure there are more available, these are all that I spotted on my occasional trips inside)

I ended up sat outside as it was a nice evening, and the location is amazing, although it's right on the road it's a very quiet road and right opposite is an amazing little church, with stained glass windows and gargoyles on the bell tower.

Overall I'm very happy with the way I was treated by the staff and the other patrons at this pub and would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a quiet drink...

This pub Is so beautiful. It sits right in the countryside next to the bowls club and the church. I decided to stop at the pub as I was travelling through the village and wasn't disappointed. The staff were so friendly and I got a really warm welcome. I can't comment on the food as didn't have any food, but I had a flat white and sat out in the garden. It was a hot day and the scenery is so lovely. There was a pizza oven and bar in the garden and a play area for children. So, it's a kid friendly pub. Not sure about animals though. It's got quite a lot of tables outside and very well spaced out with umbrella's. It's a historic pub and inside is very well preserved and decorated so it has a cosy and welcoming feel when you go in. The toilets are well looked after and clean and the handwash smelt amazing. I will definitely be coming back to this pub as it was charming and it made me feel...
