The Ypres Castle Inn — Restaurant in Rother

Situated below Ypres Castle & Gun Gardens is The Ypres Castle Pub. Known as Vipers to us locals. A old rustic pub with a wood fire and great selection of craft ales and beers both local and further a field., Sicilian wine on tap, Prosecco by the glass. The star of the show is ROTHAUS an absolute beautiful pint from Germany or try it in a litre size. Food is crisps or local cheese board or local meat board both reasonably priced and generous portions.The venue at the moment is only open Thursday to Sunday. A large beer garden with views over the Marsh. Dog friendly and friendly helpful staff. Well worth a visit.

As I said before a old rustic pub with the wood fire going now. Really cozy, dog friendly as I mentioned before. The ROTHAUS is a permanent one on as well as Ypres Castle bitter. A new lovely pint is FLOC and Geoff the landlord is going to see about getting it as a permanent one on tap. Still only open Thursday to Sunday and bank Holidays. But well worth a visit. Water and Canine snacks outside the main entrance help yourself.

During the holiday period the pub is now open Tuesday to Sunday just...

If the gentle charm and quirk of Rye could be bottled, you’d find it at the Ypres Castle Inn.

Balancing elegantly between old and new, it combines the best bits of ‘a traditional pub’ with a fresh, modern ‘boozer’. While the fire roars in the hearth you can sip a contemporary sour beer or pale ale, while choosing between a locally sourced pork pie or a tin of Perello olives for a snack in between.

For the colder nights there’s nooks and crannies aplenty to pitch up in and enjoy a good book, while Summer sun is complemented with a spacious garden overlooking the marshes.

Jeff, the master of house, is quick to spin a yarn, while making sure your glass is nice and full. We’ve come back for seconds, and so will you.

Pro tip - head down the stairs from the church to land right on its doorstep. Our step count is high enough, thank you very much Google maps.

5/5 will...

It could be the time of day or the time of year we visited, just after midday the place was empty except for one other couple, we asked if we could order some food to be told they don't do hot food, only food was a pork pie or a cheese plate. The pie was home made and savoury, quite nice but not worth the price of £5.60, the plate of cheese plate again was presentable with a small handful of small crackers and 3 finger size pieces of cheese and a small pot of chutney. Nowhere near the value of the £10.50 they charged. When we ordered drinks they didn't have any Malibu so we had to have vodka, they had a very limited no alcohol drinks, Pale Ale, Lager and one other. When I compare this visit to one I made a few years ago the difference is breathtaking, the place was heaving with customers, hot food from a comprehensive menu. Very disappointing I won't be going back...
