CASTLE

Castle is like that beloved old pub that’s seen better days but still holds a place in your heart. Rosie Saunders is all about the consistent service and good value, thanks to Tom, who seems to be the pub’s secret weapon. But Hans Gruber had a reality check, noting they could use a refit and were often short-staffed. The food? V Lam calls it generic pub grub—decent but nothing to write home about.

You might find a decent roast for a fiver, but if you're looking for a culinary masterpiece, you’ll have more luck at a nearby takeaway. The atmosphere is charmingly historic, but that’s where the magic ends. If you’re craving a nostalgic meal in a castle setting, give it a go. Just don’t expect to be wowed; it’s more about the experience than the meal itself.
