Thoroughly enjoyed our visit on Thursday night, the pork in apple cream sauce which I had was lovely and my partner had the steak, both absolutely done to perfection, well presented and tasted lovely.The atmosphere was pleasant and the young lady server was attentive and kind.Most definitely the best meal we've ever eaten out, and only located 5 hour drive from our home! Thoroughly recommend.

The reviews for this small restaurant give an accurate view. It’s worth a visit. Off season in the town and a number of the other restaurants are closed for Jan. This place is maintaining service with just the chef patron, so be prepared to stand for a couple of minutes when you come in if he is cooking before you take your table. He seems to space the timing of bookings so that this all works. A small menu with a few specials, but nicely done. When I phoned to book he enquired on any dietary needs, and whilst the menu has vegetarian option he flexed a couple more to give further choice for my partner. - thank you. Whilst only a small number of tables they are well spaced in the room and allow for conversation without feeling you are being listen ed into especially with some background music. Good value. As good if not better than our local 4*hotel. He does not add a tip option to the card machine - so take cash if you have some as it’s deserving of service.

Food was brilliant, pork loin with apple cream sauce was superb such a simple yet brilliantly executed meal with super fresh veg? - service was superb, 100% worth a visit. Super whiskey too to top off the meal. Thank you!

Had a wonderful meal at the Castle Bistro. Beautifully cooked lamb cannon and a really tasty cashew nut vegetarian dish. Reasonably priced too.Vegetarian options: As well as the vegetarian options on the menu, the chef offered other choices.

We return for special meals several times a year as the Bistro is our favourite restaurant. Paul is excellent and really friendly. I especially love the lamb canon, which is stunning!

We have been twice now and the food was fresh, high quality and a lovely intimate atmosphere. Lovely place to eat, relaxing environment and the staff are very professional and friendly. Will be returning and would highly recommend!
Really liked this restaurant. The food was as good as the Bistro's reputation would lead you to expect, but we especially liked the personal touch in evidence. The chef came to the table with the waitress to serve our meal. Then, when it came to dessert we asked for one, but with two spoons. Out came one dessert plus a second plate decorated with the chocolate sauce and cherries of the dessert. Lovely idea.

They kindly squeezed me in without a booking as I was on a long cycle tour. I had a delicious 3 course vegan meal that powered me on my way!
