Testimonials

A very successful lunch.

"The event was an 80th birthday lunch with family, 22 of us in all. The staff made everyone very welcome on arrival, and tended to all drink orders before lunch. The food was exceptional all courses were served in a timely manner. The whole event was managed in a very professional manner, putting everyone at ease."

Just delicious! I wish I could give it more than 5 stars…

"What a delicious roast! Three of us enjoyed the roast while one opted for a selection of the small plates, and every dish was absolutely delightful – truly scrumptious! The service was outstanding, with attentive staff who went above and beyond to make our experience perfect. The ambience was spot on, and the decor is simply stunning. We can’t wait to return!"

Great Sunday Lunch

"Had a great family Sunday lunch get together at the Castle. The staff were very professional and obliging and the Sunday roasts were excellent. One of our party has Coeliac disease and the staff were fully attentive to this and have a broad gluten free menu. I would highly recommend The Castle".

Sunday Lunch stopover.

"Had a lovely Sunday Lunch here. The atmosphere and furnishings are lovely and the staff were friendly, efficient and polite. Had the Sunday roast with extra cauliflower cheese, the menu had a good variety of choices and prices although slightly on high side compared to a normal Pub, were justified by the meal we had. We were travelling to Kent from Dorset and had a stopover for lunch in Farnham which proved to be a great choice."
