Wife says toilets were the most disgusting she's ever seen in UK. Building is very old and a little uncared for unfortunately. Needs a good tidy up. On plus side I had a good roast for 8.99 which was excellent value.
Consistently wonderful service here - especially from Tom on a couple of occasions. Good value, well prepared food and comfortable, clean surroundings. Tom really paid attention to my allergy request and a few other things for my fussy child. Thank you :)
Generic, mass-produced pub grub. Not dreadful but nothing to shout about. Halloumi fries were overdone as were the chicken strips. Otherwise perfectly acceptable, just not really anything that would draw me back. Probably fair price for the meal if I’m honest. You get what you pay for.
Pro-tip want your steak medium? Order it rare. Halloumi wrap also come with a pint of sauce. Otherwise the mixer grill was decent.
I know this place as Black Castle and have been visiting for over 20 years. It could do with some level of refit and they always seem to be short staffed. Beautiful building filled with local history. UPDATE. Another visit last night. The service was friendly and not much else has changed. The food took around 20 minutes to arrive after ordering. One meal was gluten free so This may have been taken into account. The wait was definitely a good sign as the food came out smoking hot! The mixed grill is highly recommended and my go to meal. The interior could definitely benefit from a deep clean and a coat of paint as there are visible cobwebs. That said I enjoyed the food and would return. It's ideal for a pre cinema date. ☺️
External architecture is really nice, internally needs refurbishment, food is okay, burger took 1hr to get done and got it cold.
This is an amazing place. Here you can find an outstanding atmosphere, having a meal in a castle environment. To any end, avoid going for lunch because the service is not that good - looks like there are no managers at this time, so the staffs are not that engaged. At night things changes, and you can have a complete experience - week and weekends as well.
I stupidly ordered the fondue steak trying to be the big man but was defeated half through....its like 32 ounces! The steak was cooked a perfect rare and the sides were banging... maybe one day I'll get my picture on that wall.. can you do a thatchers challange please and then perhaps I might finish it!
We decided on this place last minute for my birthday. It was on Friday afternoon so the place was not busy which was good. We ordered 2 Big Mexicans burgers with tortilla chips and seasoned fries. Although we had to wait 40 mins for the food, the wait was worthwhile. The portions were big size yet affordable. The food was spicy hot, but the heat can be managed with a side of coleslaw. I really enjoyed the food and waitress offered takeaway boxes since we could not finish. Staff was cheerful and helpful and checked on us and were happy to offer assistance where necessary. I would have given 5 stars but knocked off 2 stars as the environment is not clean. The chairs and table had dirty stains and the carpet had food crumbs. This place would really benefit with a deep cleaning.
