The Castle, Walthamstow

This place is ok it just had a revamp. To be honest its a little dull which is a shame. The decor is very nice but it lacks colour and unlike other good pubs in the area doesn't reference the local history of the area, buildings heritage or the local creative community. The food is average and so is the wine, beer and cider list - the place presents itself as a Gastro pub so it should have a sharper selection. We ordered the chicken it was over done and the veg were reheated and lacked flavour....as I said dull. The bar staff were very friendly and welcoming but this place really lacks atmosphere and charm - lets hope the atmosphere, clientele, food and drink brighten up......
