There were 7 beers available on handpump, mostly from small local breweries, but also Marstons Pedigree. There was also a handwritten notice saying you could have Bass from the jug (it wasn’t available on draught). I tried the Hartshorn Revolution, which was very nice.
I cant remember anything about food, but did notice they were advertising live music every weekend.
Main drawback was the lack of other people ! I was the only person in the front bar, though there were a couple of others in the back.
7/10 – I’ll be back – hopefully when a few more customers are present !

I've only been coming in the castle for the past year or so it may be a dive but most of the pubs in that area are too. But the staff are certainly not rude or obnoxious far from it!! And it's definitely not a DLF pub you should try the Neptune then you'll know about DLF
Staff are great the prices very good and the beer is spot on 10/10
It has certainly become my personal favourite over the past 6 months and it is exactly what the area has needed and continues to grow in popularity.
Friendly atmosphere that makes everyone feel comfortable, including a couple of females together meeting after work ( which often isn't the case)
Homely decor and great selection of beers and ciders.as a cider drinker it's great to always have a guest drink.
A previous reviewer mentioned that the beers has run out. I doubt this but but if it is because the beers are managed/ left to settle well and the pub is a victim of it own success and must have been exceedingly busy.
The landlady and landlord welcoming , polite,sociable and constantly checking and clearing tables that I frequently happens in most pubs.
Nice selection of snacks including the most amazing homemade pork pies with pickles , but be warmed unless you greedy / very hungry you struggle to finish it.
There are several pubs within a short difference but this is definitely worth a visit. I'd certainly become a regular if I had the time .
