THE CASTLE — Restaurant in Great Britain

This is a small pub created in two adjoining Grade 2 listed 18th century Georgian cottages in Castle View, Leicester (which have been used by a clock maker and a fine art restorer in it's history).

Staff are always friendly and chatting and there is a little covered outdoor area nearby. The usual barman is very friendly and full of flair spinning bottles and doing neat little tricks. Pub inside is a bit small but cosy and certainly full...

A very cosy pub in two tiny cottages. Steep, narrow and winding staircase to upper room. Steps to unisex toilets (the ground floor one can be less than desirable after some of the partially sighted males have been in!). Definitely not wheelchair friendly! Great cask ales, scotch eggs, pork pie sand crisps. Nice beer garden. No.7 is the attached cottage which is also part of the pub but accessed by leaving and entering via its own front door (turn both handles, which is tricky when carrying drinks!). Very quirky, very quaint, very...
