Excellent food and a wonderful ambience with Tom playing the the piano in the background Definitely be back

Fabulous place, meals and staff very attentive. Has few month sgo we experience a bad meal but can't fault the service we received. We did ask staff this time mske sure Chicken especially was cooked throughly. Only bad point plates could be warmed up or meals bit more hotter. Will be back

Second time at Witton Castle for Sunday Lunch and again the food and the service was amazing. Set in beautiful surroundings, the restaurant over looks the grounds, making the whole experience wonderful.

We really enjoyed our Sunday lunch just sad we had no room left for dessert. The staff were so friendly and helpful and performed their role brilliantly. Will definitely be back now that we have a lodge here. Very keen to try the other menus too

Great food, great atmosphere, great prices. Always a very good meal at exceptional prices. Well done Will return again

Booked here for the 3 course meal for 10 pound and were really surprised at the quality, quantity and value for money. The service was amazing and the waitress couldn't do enough for us. Would totally recommend!

The £10 deal for three courses was excellent All the food we ate was delicious The service was excellent The area we were seated was very private which suited us Overall a good evening

Won a competition for 2 cocktails and 2 meals. I already had a table for 4 booked and they allowed me to use it on that. Food was great... garlic mushrooms, calamari lovely...parmos,fish n chips, pasta also lovely. Sticky toffee puddings all round...again lovely. Cocktails great . Staff super friendly. 3 course meal deal was a bargain.

Had the most amazing meal last night there . .the service is very friendly,staff couldn't do enough for you ... good size portions and dog friendly too as we had ours with us ....we have been a few times now and never been disappointed...see you next time x

Sunday Lunch, we hadn’t been for a while and to be fair was quite disappointed ☹️ gluten free meal used to have Yorkshire pudding but not anymore! Optional choice of cabarta roll with meat & Roast Potatoes & gravy but very dry, no stuffing with the Pork or Turkey & Roast Potatoes cooked lovely but no taste! Stuffing in a hard square & not very nice, definitely needs some tweaking!

Had a Sunday lunch, and couldn't fault it, plenty meat and lot's of vegetables along with a large Yorkshire pudding. Lovely atmosphere and staff very attentive, we will definitely return

Fantastic Sunday lunch, great service, great food. Best Sunday lunch I have had other than the one I make at home!!!!

The Sunday lunch was delicious and all the staff were very friendly, polite and courteous.

very good food, staff are amazing its a must go

Food was only ok, my partners plate had a massive chip in it he didn’t want to complain, if it had been my plate i would have sent my meal back. Didn’t understand the whole surcharge thing the lad who served us said its because the fish is huge when in fact it wasn’t it was an average sized fish. Rip off charging £3 extra just for chips. Table behind us sent their meal back twice. Very dark in the pub & very dated could do with a lick of paint. Very much doubt we will visit again.

Rather disappointed. I had this place recommended to me but I’m not sure I’ll be back. I had fish and chips, the fish was tasty but the batter was thick and soggy underneath the fish, it hadn’t been properly cooked. It was placed on top of the chips, which led to them being covered in grease and bits of uncooked batter. My husband’s was cooked nicely so maybe I was just unlucky? On the plus side, my paté starter was delicious, as was the panna cotta.
