Good beer, well kept, usually 4 guest beers, currently Adnams, Ride, TT Landlord & Harveys plus stella and staropramen. Good cider too. Food good, decor good, good atmosphere, good landlord, good mix of local and non local clientele. Beer not cheap but worth every penny. Look out for special events - hog roast, morris dancing etc etc. So glad it's my local, so pleased outsiders like it so much too.

Duckstein below almost had this pub summed up in a single sentence. I would modify to say.

Good ale, good food, good location, good décor, good atmosphere, empty wallet.

To elaborate more, The Castle Inn is tucked away down a leafy lane off the A320, in the stockbroker belt area of Surrey. It is a two bar pub with a dining conservatory bolted on the back. The bars are comfortable and festooned with farming and horse implements giving it that country pub feel. There is no garden, but benches out the front of the pub. There were four real ales on at the time of my visit. London Pride, TT Landlord, Harveys Sussex Best and a fourth one I can t remember. The Sussex Best was excellent and the Landlord was good.
Now the primary reason for us searching this place out was as a stop en-route for Sunday Lunch. These were pricey at £8.99, but I will not quibble at that as both the quantity and quality were excellent and worth the charge.
What I will quibble with is the beer pricing. All four ales were priced the same at £3.40!
Come On !!! I pay significantly less for Pride and Landlord in City pubs with iconic views of London.
But I suppose if your local clientele are mainly retired bankers and stockbrokers who don’t bat an eyelid at paying those prices, then you can get away with it. And as always you do have a choice of a pint of Keg and plastic food in the Harvester down the road.
So in summary, a really nice pub, slightly spoilt by a drinks pricing policy bordering on extortionate.

Lovely Local Boozer... One of the few 'Real' pubs left in the area

no...it's not technically a 'gastro' pub (thank god) but the food is always pretty good and the booze is excellent.

Landlord is friendly (and has lovely legs) , although he is a human and may sometimes moan about stuff that has annoyed him recently .... but then , don't we all ???

Reccomended if you want a chat & a quiet drink (or five) in a nice old pub

Went in for lunch and ordered a soft drink and a pint prior to the food. The outrageous sum of £5.00 was charged!! Meantime land lord and staff were moaning about the government not helping the pub trade in times of recession. At these prices I don't blame HMG for not coming to their aid. Decided not to have lunch as the prices were similarly high (£10 for a burger). Drove back to the Harvester at the top of the road (no ales) and had an excellent value lunch for £4.99 a head including salad bar.

The Castle is a lovely old pub serving excellent beer but it's pricing pollicy makes it one of the most expensive places I have been to. Not really worth seeking out.
