We visited for the 1st time yesterday, we are new to the area and decided to try the carvery which was very nice indeed. Wasn’t too busy either and staff were friendly. Will visit

First time back since April 2023. Wow what an improvement. Exception service and all happy and more then happy to help. The carvery was fantastic, the variety Is outstanding, presentation also fantastic. Absolutely enjoyed. It's clearly to see the cook puts her heart and soul in to every dish. A chef came along and gave my grandson a balloon and crayons with puzzles which his face lit up and promised to bring a lollypop if he eat well. Such a great incentive and much thought gone in to make children welcome. We wouldn't normally stay out as long as we did. As he was occupied. We stayed for extra drinks and deserts. Our experience was like nowhere else I've been before. We will most certainly be making it our regular Sunday lunch place to be. I highly recommend it. For the moment we arrived to our good byes at the door was the best. It's most definitely a hidden gem.

Been to the castle on number of occasions, this last was the worst, entered and were told our reserved table was that one in the corner, not taken to table, waitress looked school age, two members had carvery which in there words was rubbish, 3 others had menu meals which were adequate, service crap, pricing, overpriced, food, back street cafe at best, atmosphere, dead, will not be returning,

Arrived for Sunday Lunch which is a carvery . We have eaten here for about a year . This time we knew something was wrong , went to the bar to order drinks and food . No draft pop , so can of pop for my partner , was given a dirty glass with lipstick all around it . I ordered water , no sparkling or still , asked if they got anything except pop she said soda water , again served in a dirty glass . She changed both glasses but the same thing happened again , dirty glasses ! We then went to the carvery , which looked ok , the cauliflower cheese was just sauce , the potatoes are frozen variety . The worse was to come when we started to eat , it was cold ! The Turkey was cold as well as the beef . The Yorkshire puddings was stone cold and they was served from the top of the hot plate . Why? The only thing that was warm was the stuffing , so we decided to take it to the bar we’re I was greeted by a chef who I asked her to touch the meat and the Yorkshire pudding to see how cold it all was , her reaction was yes , shall I microwave it for you ! I refused as you served me cold food , which should be served at a certain temperature… both meals ruined , not dealt with professionally, they refunded our meals , and I said what about the Pepsi .. he asked is there something wrong with it .. I said yes no food . After having dirty glasses and cold food you seriously was not going to refund me for the whole meal . The hygiene and food control is so bad , I am surprised they are open . I was then told by a customer that it had got a new manager and how bad it has become . Shame as we have been coming for a year .. never again .

The carvery was so delicious! Everything was cooked to perfection. Friendly staff. Very obliging. I would highly recommend The Castle

New Management again but been not very friendly. Not even asked, if we enjoyed the carvery. I asked for Turkey only and he gave me just one little piece of Turkey. I had problems to find it on my plate because normally you get two or three pieces of meat. Vegetables and potatoes been very good but that's all.

First visit for lunch which was lovely but spoilt by cost of drinks. We ordered 3 small soda waters with a splash of lime & charged £2.40 each. Disgusted when only charged average £1.25 elsewhere. Although food was lovely will not be returning!Parking: Easy to park

Food is sort of okay but the kitchen is closed from 8:00pm. And they was a disco going on so my family and my daughter went and children had to be out by 10:00pm. We just got some drinks and then they said you will have to leave as we have a child.
Booked a table for the Wednesday night cavery only to be told when we got there they are no longer doing carvery on a Wednesday night was so disappointing thought we would give them a try under the new management in my opinion they should have put something up on there website to say they were no longer doing them on a Wednesday night everything these days is about word of mouth so unfortunately I won't be recommending the castle

We visited last Wednesday as a family and were surprised to see a mid week carvery. They had a choice of 3 meats turkey beef and gammon and plenty choice of veg. I opted for Beef and Gammon and was certainly not disappointed. The veg was so fresh and soft and we were given a small bowl to share the veg with our little one. The carvery chef was so happy and smiling it was a pleasure to see a great work atmosphere.Will definitely come back to try carvery on a Sunday as we heard everyone on about the chefs Dauphinoise potato's that are only on Sundays.Vegetarian options: Meat free carvery offeredKid-friendliness: Ample space for kids to play in the gardenParking: Two massive car parks
