Total disappointment. Booked a lunchtime meal for my birthday after checking out the menu on the website. Was expecting to be in the upstairs bar/restaurant area but only the basement bar was open and several items were missing off the menu I,d looked at. This included the steak which we were going to have. My wife then asked for the mince and dumplings and that wasn't on either. She then enquired about the roast dinner but that only came with pork which she doesn't like. Ended up cancelling the meal as there was nothing else she wanted. Luckily we went to another place a short drive away and had an excellent meal from an extensive menu. Been in the cafe at the castle many times and it's great so shame about the bar meal experience.

Booked for Sunday lunch was sat very near to lovely warm open fire. Staff were very attentive and helpful. The meal was served very quickly fantastic selection of vegetables tender meat and a yorkie to die for. All covered in proper tasty gravy. Fantastic meal.

We had Sunday Lunch as a Mother's Day treat from my Son. We all thought the meal was lovely. I have to say it is one of the best Sunday roasts I have ever had in a restaurant. We all cleared our plates and didn't need anything else to eat for the rest of the day.

Lovely valentines meal with my husband. The starters and main dishes were both really lovely. We got moved into the main bar area as the main restaurant was very cold but it didn’t spoil anything. The staff were and are always really lovely too.

We enjoyed our first meal on Sunday, with a family of 6. Initially, I thought the prices were expensive, however, when the food arrived we agreed it was well worth it! Adults and children agreed the food was delicious and plentiful (home made quality). Staff and service fantastic. One slight criticism.. neither the food or gravy was hot!

The meal was good but the room was Baltic!! Was a family meal for husbands birthday. Service was good and food was great but we sat absolutely frozen through. No door on dining room, In a castle in winter!!! Not good!
