We eat often at this pub and have to say do not agree with some of the reviews. We had a family meal there last night 7th June and must say the food, presentation everything was fantastic, You could not get better in a fancier place at twice the price. The young chef Tim I think is talented and amenable... More

We chose to ignore the bad/mixed reviews and nevertheless went for lunch last Sunday as we were in the area. It was warm enough to sit outside, which we did, and we remarked on how scruffy and unkempt the large pub garden was. The grass obviously hadn't been mown in a while, and the outdoor furniture looked old and tired.... More

We made our 3rd visit to this charming pub a couple of weeks ago and I felt compelled to address some of the previous bad reviews - I honestly cannot understand why these were ever written!! We stayed 1 night and were made to feel extremely welcome, the landlord and his staff were very friendly. The pub is a totally... More

Have been going to The Castle Inn since I moved to the area 13 years ago. Ownership has changed a few times and we mostly visit when we can sit outside and enjoy the views. The latest landlords (since 2009 I think) have refurbished a little - tasteful and mostly an improvement. (apart from the plastic menu board with florescent... More

Although the Hooky beer was agreeable, and both the Inn and the far reaching views are easy on the eye, the experience was bad. A half of Hookey was requested, but a pint was served and charged...

Finished with Real coffee in a cafetiere. Unusual these days. The staff were very friendly, and the views over the Battlefield... More

We were on a sunday walk and stopped here for a light lunch. We just ordered 2 sandwiches - ham & mustard, and ham & cheese. Not that complicated. What turned up comprised: doorstops of dry bread that I think was cut from a bloomer (I like white bread but I had to leave this on the plate it was... More

Travelling back up from London to Merseyside we fancied a Sunday Roast - partner loves real ale & we both appreciate history architecture & beauty so this pub was an obvious choice. The building, views & history are amazing - the food delicious. We LOVED it. The jolly laid-back affable landlord suits the establishment down to the ground. I'd choose... More

We met good friends here for dinner and liked its quirky appearance. It was not at all busy and we had a table in the main bar near the lovely open fire. The staff were friendly and welcoming and we were looking forward to an enjoyable meal. As a group we enjoy a glass of wine and ordered a bottle... More
