Castle Rock Tap Room & Kitchen — Restaurant in North West Leicestershire

Wow, I was getting a 9pm flight to Dublin on St Patrick's day, everywhere was closed other than this place. The staff are offended that you request a drink or have the audacity to not have your table number memoriesed. (The table number is etched in ancient Egyptian under the table)

We ordered fish and chips and a "ultimate burger" oh the irony of that name choice.

The burger seems a suitable place to start. I didn't know in 2022 that burgers still came in a can and could be microwaved to tepid so perfectly.

Chips are a treat I find when they are burnt on the outside and wall paper paste consistency on the inside.

The fish and chips lol Whitby would gnaw or cut itself away from England if it heard this was being passed off as fish and chips!

The mushy green wall paper paste was also under investigation to determine its actual molecular makeup as noone has ever found this out !

Oh and £43 for these two Gordon Ramsayesque plates of distain failure.

Burger king please read this and open up at all times. People do not need subjecting to this...

Catching an Early morning flight. Service at point of order was professional, friendly and quick... food followed in a matter of minutes , Ordered 1 full monty Breakfast a Midlands Breakfast and 2 breakfast Baps. Baps were ok apart from hard eggs in both but were reasonable value for money, the full breakfasts alas were a different story, sausages in both were chewy and looked and tasted very dry, the bacon was very similar, fried eggs on both were dry and hard. Whilst they both came within minutes of ordering, which from one perspective would be a real positive this was at the detriment to the quality of the food being cooked way to far in advance & held in a hot hold unit or under hot lamps. I am a realistic sort of person and understand the issues of speed of service in an airport, however this didn't reflect the price point and can be found in better quality & cheaper at other similar establishments in airports up and down the country...

How the mighty are fallen. In the past we always loved starting our holidays in the Tap - full English, pint of either of the two cask beers - what better way to start your jollies? Well not any more I'm afraid. On this and our previous visit the breakfast was a pale shadow of its former self, only one cask beer on (and not in anywhere near the condition it should have been - come on, Harvest Pale is a belting beer, how can you let it be served like this??) and all at a handsome price - well handsome if you're the owner, not if you're the customer. Such a shame, looks like we'll be eating our own sarnies pre-flight from now on. Update - looks like I never learn. Back in the CR Tap at EMA and got charged £12.95 for a 200ml bottle of prosecco - that really is...
