Castle Gardens used to be one of our favourite places for food. It was first class every time. We went there tonight, having not been for quite some time. Main courses have seriously gone downhill, the mushroom starter was like battered rubber, and the atmosphere virtually non-existent. We couldn't believe how a lovely place can go downhill so quuckly. We had a partial refund.

Very Busy Thursday Evening, so it took a while to get served. Once ordered the food was served within 10 mins and piping hot. Cooked to perfection. Very good visit.

Lovely place to eat and drink or just one or the other, great staff, friendly atmosphere, great service very quick and helpful, being able to book a table on line is so much easier, best place to go a round.

My daughter Hollie buying her first legal pink gin & a pint for me, at The Castle Gardens. The same pub as my Dad took me to, 32 years ago. The staff were great & made it a great start to Hollies 18th. ???

**EDIT** They saw this review and cancelled the charge. Thank you for that. To be fair charging for the car park in that location is unnecessary - it might provide some income but its not worth the hassle and bad feeling with customers who forget or don't realise to input their number plate.Absolutely furious. My 78 yesr old father, who incidentally is disabled, frail and suffering from terminal cancer himself came here for a wake following a funeral. A few weeks later he receives a "parking charge" notice from Europarks. £85 for 1 hour and 17 minutes.My father had no idea he had to "register" or anything else of the sort, particularly in his state of grief at the time.Now he is distressed and upset at this "charge". Complete lack of care for customers that Castle Gardens thinks that this is an appropriate way to manage their car park.

The food was fantastic. Every part of the meal was delicious. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.Considering how busy it was, we didn't have to wait long for any part of the service - although my dessert was a few minutes behind the rest of the table, as I had ordered a mini dessert (tea and waffle), so I still had my tea to drink while waiting.If I had to highlight any area of improvement it was that the sink in the ladies had an overpowerful tap and I got splashed more than expected. I didn't complain at the time because it was only a little splash and it made me jump more than anything - perhaps someone could turn the pressure down a bit?
Food took a little longer than we expected but there had been a function prior to our arrival.All of the food was good apart from one of the larger steaks on the mixed grill was undercooked as we asked for medium to well done. It was fatty and almost rare. Shame.Parking: Lots of parking, don't forget to enter your registration at the bar

Asked to reserve a table by the fire which was arranged which was the first bonus, second the food! I went for the grilled sea bass with new potatoes and asparagus which tasted amazing and perfectly cooked while my partner had hunters chicken which she also enjoyed. We shared garlic bread with the main which was heavenly garlicky. The portion sizes were generous and the prices were well priced for the quality of food. Dessert was also top notch! The caramel apple pie was so good! Proper winter warmer ??There was absolutely nothing that we could fault other than the regret of driving so I could enjoy one more pint by the fire

Nice, reasonably priced food, ale was good and the pub quiz on a Thursday was fun - cheers ?
