The Castle Inn, Ealing — Restaurant in London

Was in here yesterday enjoying a drink and got moved tables twice by the staff who were trying to accommodate people wanting food. I was then asked if I could vacate my table and sit at the very crowded bar to accommodate more walk ins. It was too busy and we did not feel welcome so left. Luckily we went to a better and cheaper pub called Ryan’s and had a much more entertaining afternoon so it was one of those fateful moments that turned out well. I won’t be going back though. I don’t know I have ever been in a pub and asked to move around etc. it’s very poor service although the nice lady in charge did offer us a table later but hey if serving food is more important then it’s their business but I’ll spend my money somewhere where I feel welcome. This pub is not the same now the old landlord has moved on. The garden has also been ruined.

Edit - in response to Dean’s reply - none of us in our group can recall you saying the table was only for one hour - if we had known we would have left at that point - recollections can vary I guess. When we arrived we were actually sitting at the bar and at your suggestion we left the bar to sit at a corner table before we agreed to move again to sit at a small table. We constantly moved around to accommodate you so you can imagine how it felt for us. I...

Only our second time to this pub, we decided to go for food yesterday for the first time, thinking we would give the Sunday Roast a go. We are massive foodies and have lived in Ealing for 8 years and eaten in most of the pubs in the area and we can safely say, this was the best roast we have had so far.... the meat was absolutely delicious, the roasties a triumph and 3 large ones each..... the best thing for me was 5 different veggies and they all had such great flavour... the honey glazed carrots, the salty kale, the peppery butter nut squash, the cheesy, creamy cauliflower cheese and the huge, tasty parsnips.... and what topped it off, the extra gravy boat you get, without even asking!!!! i cannot stand a roast without enough gravy!!!!! Great value for money, decent portions, and absolutely delicious... neither of us left a single thing!!!!

The pub is welcoming, homely, nice background music that’s not too loud, candles and flowers on every table, very friendly staff, board games to play and the absolute best thing, doggy friendly with a smashing little beer garden.

We will definitely be back... 11...

Must admit that we haven't been here for years, no particular reason, just haven't been.

Six of us went for a lunch time meal and 5 of us were very happy. They were doing a roast on the Bank Holiday Monday, so really appreciated and was lovely. The others ranged from burgers, which were really good and tasty and the Nacho's (shared by two) were very good as well.

Only the veggie burger let the show down, it wasn't really as advertised and was under cooked on the inside, so hard and bitty.

Service was fabulous and the staff were friendly and helpful, so full marks.

So would recommend that you try this place out. Prices were reasonable even without the Eat out...
