Reported to be open again – have yet to see how it's doing, but we wish it well!

Used to drink here when we lived in Kingsthorne, such a lovely retreat, far away from any main road... beer usually well kept and used to be a decent price too.
Nice to know it's still open.

Friendly local with well kept real ales. Usually Otter Bitter and 3 others. Haven't tried the food myself but friends have recommended it.

The Castle changed hands this year but maintains its friendly atmosphere. With a completely different style of bar to what you expect in a remote rural location, this is definitely not your usual village pub. It used to often feel chilly in there but it's a lot warmer now that the new wood-burner is working! The Otter bitter is always good and there are usually a couple of other real ales on in addition to ciders etc.
The food menu has been expanded and every dish I have sampled has been wonderful (I've tried most of 'em). Some friends of mine were disappointed once though – I guess there can always be an off night!

Good beer but disappointing food. I had "Crassie Pie" which sounded good but was impregnable - think they should sell their pastry to the army; slightly charred and very very hard it was all too much for just a knife and fork. My wife had the lamb, this was tasteless and slightly tough. Presentation of the food left a lot to be desired - all served together a la school dinners - the once crisp chips dissolved by the gravy. Puds didnt redeen the meal either. Beer was good though - the Moorlands I had was superb, service friendly and efficient, shame about the food

A good selection of real ales makes this pub worth a visit, the foods not bad either.
The monthly folk music sessions are well worth attending but get there early if you want a seat.
|
Revamped and revitalised village pub with a regularly changed selection of beers and a fine informal restaurant.
