Description

The Castle Inn is a traditional family-run 16th Century thatched pub and hotel with an extensive food menu and regularly changing local real ales all served direct from the barrel.

We pride ourselves on our selection of regularly changing local Cask Real Ales, all served by gravity direct from the cask. Our selection of Real Ales change on a week to week basis, however we usually have on a selection of cask beers from the Isle of Purbeck Brewery, Dorset Piddle Brewery and Sharp's brewery. We also stock draught Real Cider and Perry.

We are only a short walk away from the beautiful Lulworth Cove & Durdle Door of the Jurassic Coastline and amongst some of the most beautiful parts of the Purbeck countryside. Dogs are very welcome!

This September we will be holding our first ever Beer and Cider Festival! We are planning on having at least 20 Real Ales and at least 6 ciders and perries, please take a look at our Beer and Cider Festival page on our website for more information!

Now this IS a nice pub. Beer was OK. Bar staff friendly, genuinely welcoming and quite a change from those I met at the New Inn or the Weld Arms nearby. Good conversation with bar staff who seemed interested. No funereal black worn either - THAT IS A PLUS !!! Didn't try the food, but there was a nice garlicky, fishy smell (a bit like that you get in the street cafes and tavernas in Greece) emanating from a plate being carried to some scoffers - so, I think I'll return and try it out. The beer garden was something else - wow - sitting halfway up a hill at the back of the pub in a sort of rose garden certainly made me think about coming back when nthe roses are in bloom. (My 2 favourite plant scents are those of the hop and the rose). Yeah, I think I'll go back there, but probably not in the height of the season when I suspect it gets overflowed by the dreaded "grockles " and 2nd homers.

We are very dog-friendly, and have recently been listed as the best dog-friendly b&b in Dorset.

We stock many local Real Ales, and usually have at least 5/6 real ales on sale, all directly from the cask.

More information is on our website.

Manager

I had evening meals here last summer. The food was great, the garden is very good, and the managers and staff were not only efficient and helpful but were also friendly and had a good sense of humour.

Visited in May so fairly quiet. Pub nice but nothing special. Beer average, and dogs not allowed in. Didn't try the food. Like other people I cannot understand why a pub in prime tourist area shuts in the afternoon.

went here on sunday....for a country pub in a tourist hotspot you'd expect more than one real ale...food looked average but at above average prices...couldent quite understand why food had to be ordered in the "dorset bar" but could be eaten in the other bar....
