We went with friends to have Sunday lunch today. I had roast beef and I have to say I couldn't eat the meat. It was dry and flavourless, and the gravy was thick and gloopy, for £15 I expect better. But apparently it has a new landlord so I will put it down to teething problems. We all came away feeling very underwhelmed I have to say though.

Fisr visit was nice. Simple food cooked well. Wine very nice and service brilliant. Second visit not so good. Decided to just have a drink. The wine that I had on the previous visit was no longer available by the glass. Didn't have shiraz by the glass or Malbec by the glass. No choice but to have Merlot. Not very good. Lady behind the bar was multi tasking being the waitress and the bar man. Saw her carrying several glass in her hands. Her hands or rather fingers inside the glasses. Not very hygienic. The lady behind the bat looked as dated as the bar and restaurant areas. I thought it was under new management but they seem to be still looking for new tenants. Lovely location with a small car park. Would be a wonderful restaurant in the right hands. Would not visit again.

On visiting the boverton castle pub lunch time with my husband we were asked if we had booked, we had not but only 2 tables were occupied, we were told by the cook there was a party booked and was limited to one hour not even told in a friendly way. My husband and i just ordered a starter, my husband had garli mushrooms on toasted bread, when the meal arrived the bread 8hadnt been toasted and was white. i took it back and asked she would put it back in toaster. I was told i sbould have asked for it to be well toasted , no apology. When the food was brought back everything on the plate was cold it must have been left standing. My husband then took it back and said it was cold, the cook took the untouched food and walked into the kitchen saying, well im not doing it again not even offering to heat it up or offer something else, still no apolagy. I finised my meal whilst my husband looked on. We waited for someone to come to see us or bring back the meal hot. We asked to see the. Cook but was told she was too busy and offered a refund. I was told by her after making apperance at another table that the boss had threated to ban us. I couldnt believe what she said we were not rude in anyway. We just went out for a quiet lunch and drink we are a couple in our 80s my husband not in good health and was very upset to have been told this. Having used this pub regular throughout the summer months when it was close to closer they were glad of custom. This has sadden us and think the managent should look into this and know who pays the wages. The kitchen have only recently been back open with new managent and staff. Been a great pub in the past.

Kitchen has recently reopened with a new team. Food still really good. Open from 12-5 for meal deals and then till 8 for main menu. Great value, good food and nice ales.
