"The atmosphere here is a little more sophisticated than at the Spotted Dog. My build your own fish burger was great the fried egg wonderfully cooked atop and a great combination with the Brie. The chips were spot on and not greasy. However, the same cannot be said about the onion rings they were soggy and evidently fried in the fish oil. My partner’s cheese onion omlette was a little dry. The onion ought to have been fried and then added to the omlette rather than be given raw to the side. Otherwise, friendly service and a great vibe I recommend and hopefully the chef will incorporate my constructive criticisms."

Even though the landlady was working along on a weekday lunchtime, she went out of her way to help a person having issues, particularly when the pub next door with more staff didn’t want to get involved, speaks volumes about community spirit. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 View menu

Lovely first visit to the castle. We booked for a family birthday, with a large group and they were so accommodating. Very traditional pub, with some really lovely Christmas decorations up! Staff very friendly! And lovely food. Thank you! We will definitely visit again. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We were looking for a Sunday lunch stop off when driving home from a break in Somerset ,wanted just a honest roast that wasn’t too expensive , We hit gold , A friendly welcoming down to earth pub , A plate with as much veg as meat which is ridiculously hard to find . We throughly enjoyed our roasts and Homemade apple crumble . At £19.95 for two lunches (13.95for one) we were very impressed , had a good drinkable beer too . Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

"We came here on a Sunday afternoon for a Birthday dinner and was very disappointed. We have come here multiple times over the years and the service and food were always great. This time however was completely different. As soon as we arrived for our reservation we were met (eventually) by someone who I assume was the Manager, he went off to prepare our table and then did something else. We were left waiting in the entrance for nearly 10 minutes before someone else took us over. We were sat at the back of the place by ourselves and felt totally ignored the whole time. Probably because we had a baby and pushchair with us, whereas the table next to us that kept ordering wine got all the attention. The Manager was also joking with them about driving home which was not appropriate given how much they had all drank. We all ordered the rib eye steak as medium and all of us ended up with different cuts and variations of cooking. The rib eye was awful and none of us finished as it was fatty and full of gristle. We also asked 3 different people for water for the table and only when I stood up and found someone did we get any. When we were all done we were waiting for the bill which never came so we all got up and walked to the front counter. It should be pointed out that we could easily have walked out as most of the staff were sat around eating their dinner (one girl with her feet literally on the table). Unless this place gets much better service and food quality I would strongly suggest avoiding."
