    Food was excellent. Staff were very helpful. My partner accidentally knocked over her drink which smashed all over the floor, however the staff were brilliant and even replaced the drink free with little fuss made.

    The Castle bar was very good value, the, food, was, in the main, very good although my partner said his pie crust was a little dry. The seating and room were excellent the starter was very good the wine needed to breath and I probably wouldn't have that wine again although I would definitely visit the Castle Bar again.
