The Castle, Walthamstow

Went for Sunday lunch with 2 friends. Was prepared to put up with many kids running around with abandon as though it was their private playground (bless 'em) but not for the blandness of what was served. I had a lamb roast with mixed veg minus sprouts. The lamb was tasteless, spuds were the kind you get from the frozen section of a supermarket and the rest was over cooked. For �10.95 I expect better. Granted, its not a fully fledged restaurant but even so that's poor quality. I've been to other gastros' and they've been better and in some cases cheaper. The place looks farely new so I hope given time things will improve. Overall its not a bad venue and my rating of 3 stars is solely for the food and the price. Yet to go there on a busy wk/end.
