The Castle Inn And Pantry

In unfortunate circumstances when our car broke down 160 miles away from home on a Sunday evening, we found ourselves at the friendliest place we could have possibly wished for! We were looked after with generous hospitality and genuine care and are very grateful to the caring landlady, staff and guests we met. Food we were offered (even though the kitchen was closed) was delicious! We highly recommend and hope to visit this charming place again.

Didn’t stop for food although the venue has an excellent reputation, Even though weekday lunchtime visit, warm welcome into what I’d call a comfy pub. Excellent range of beers lagers and ciders. I tried a pint of the hoppyWhite Rat which was exceptional. Going to pop back for some grub soon….

What a unexpected beautiful pub. Friendly land lord, good selection of beer, happy friendly and welcoming atmosphere as we entered by customers and staff as well as pip, the pub dog.
Food was good classic dishes but cooked to perfection.
Would highly recommend and would definitely visit again if I was in the area

Very nice meal, lovely staff and well kept ale. Dog friendly too. Thank you.

We celebrated my husband's surprise 30th birthday here with lots of amazing food and drinks!

We had a party of 40+ people and the owners Sue and Will were so friendly and accommodating with both adults and kids. They have a lovely room off to the side of the main bar where we celebrated throughout the evening with great food, drinks and music.

This pub has a great atmosphere and all the staff were welcoming, I couldn’t recommend it enough. We will be back again. Thank you!

Best Sunday lunch and tomahawk steaks you'll find!

Sue and Will are always so welcoming. Cosy fires in winter, cool in summer. A great place all year round.

Had an absolutely delicious Sunday lunch here. The roasts were properly home cooked and they went out of their way for a vegetarian in the party. Extremely good value for money and the best food I’ve had in a pub for quite some time. Highly recommend

We dined out here tonight as a family of 5. The staff were all incredibly friendly! Lovely little village pub. The food was just exceptional! Especially the lamb shank special! Price was well worth it and we will definetley be returning! Thank you for a lovely service 😁

A warm welcome and just a lovely experience. Great hosts, gave us a table even though they were booked up. Lovely Sunday bite in a lovely cosy pub. Thank you.

Went for Sunday lunch here and it was fantastic. You could tell there was so much thought into every part of the dish. The beautifully cooked sirloin of beef with the creamy delicate leeks in sauce. Possibly the best roast potatoes I have had including ones cooked at home for a small group. The chef clearly cares as there were so many elements I could mention that made the dish into what it was. An absolute pleasure I would highly recommend and will no doubt be coming back.

Comfortable seats and good real ale

We moved to the village a week ago, and already this place is featuring very highly - the pantry has had everything we need so far, including top rate homemade scotch eggs and sausage rolls, and the pub is a delight with great ale and decent wine. Really friendly, great service and produce. Highly recommended, no complaints.

I love this pub. It has a fantastic atmosphere and is a great classic village pub. With warm fires and friendly smiles from Sue and Will, I miss popping in for a pint. They have a lovely pantry that they’ve opened to during COVID and serve great take aways too.

All round the quintessential English pub. Good food, great atmosphere and lovely people who run it. Bring on the end of COVID when we can go back there and enjoy a quality pint amongst lovely people.

Cannot recommend highly enough!

staff are really friendly and welcoming...the pub has a very homely vibe with open fire,cosy seating area.great atmosphere with fantastic ales and delicious homemade dishes and pastries

Now here is a place to go! Proper home from home, excellent 🍱 as you can see and excellent beer and pork scratching and loads of old sporting country boys which suits me just fine I can’t wait to go back to that pub with the home made sausage rolls and scotch eggs etc.
also, the staff are amazing

Lovely little amazing pub
And the owners.. What a super couple 😊
Great home cooked food
Great atmosphere
And a lovely village
Highly recommended

Sausage and mash for lunch and a lovely merlot, the ploughman's was great too with a good choice of ales. Dog friendly as well.

Lovely meal, excellent service. Very relaxed with the 2 under 3's we brought along! Great covid compliance. Would definitely recommend.

What a wonderful pub. Great ale in great condition plus fabulous food. Superb ambience with a lovely landlady. Well worth a minor detour off the A1

Friendly, professional staff. Looked after my little girl at the end of her life, and have been supportive and encouraging with my current dog. Fantastic vets!
