Testimonials

"The Castle is decorated with style but feels cosy and welcoming. The menu choice is excellent and the deals make it very affordable. There were lots of customers which gave a pleasant background buzz and the staff were attention but not annoyingly so. I do recommend The Castle regularly."

"The Castle is a beautifully appointed restaurant with friendly and efficient staff. My wife and I visited for lunch on Friday and benefitted from the weekday menu with an offer of two courses for £18.50. We’ve visited once before and will certainly be back even though we live 30 mins away. Just a lovely experience!"

Tripadvisor, Mar 2026

"A staff member at The Castle truly made my friend's 54th birthday shine, ensuring everyone had a fantastic time throughout the entire celebration. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, the food was spot on, especially the fish and chips, and the service was smooth, reliable and professional throughout. There was no waiting at all, which made the whole experience even better. Outstanding value, easily 10 out of 10. I will definitely be coming back very soon."

Google Review, Mar 2026

"Your gluten free menu is fantastic, the number of choices makes a huge difference to experience and the fact that you don't just offer ice cream and sorbet for pudding is really nice, thank you! "
