    Updating my review: The Castle Inn is open again! Closed for…read moreover a year due to subsidence caused by a medieval well, the Castle is back and as good as ever. Service is super-friendly and helpful. Food continues to be excellent, and the drinks are on point. I will have a brief moan that the old, adorable snug in the front room has been replaced by a standard dining area, but I'm also just happy to have the Castle back in the community again. Cute as a button, as you might expect for a village whose entire core is a National Trust location, this place is worth a visit.

    As part of the Time Out Country Walk #19, from Hever to Leigh, we stopped at this great (gastro)…read morepub for a delicious lunch. We sat in the garden and really enjoyed the buzzing atmosphere...listening to other ramblers talking about their walks through the "Garden of England" or visitors to the nearby castle. The food at the Castle Inn is really good: I had the ham hock stew with root vegetables and my walking companion enjoyed a paté made from duck confit and peppers...served with home-made chutney and granary bread. Apparently, and this is what the owner of the next door antique store told us, the owner at this place used to be the chef in some of London's really happening kitchens...well, he must've had a good education, because the quality of both food and service was really good.

    Arrived on a quiet Saturday night, very early. The pub itself is very nice, not too trendy or too…read moreold style. Perhaps though, you wouldn't expect the quality of food by looking at the outside of the pub. Never has the phrase, "don't judge a book by its cover," been more true. What is generally nice about this place is that they do a few things really well, rather than having huge selections of mediocre tat. This starts with the beer - a choice of four very nice ales, we went for the Dark Star "Hophead" a golden pale ale, which has a lovely full flavour with a hint of honey and elder-flower. The menu here changes often, almost daily, depending on what is available and the chef decides to make. Our starters were ham and apple terrine with a lovely pickle, chicken and liver paté with sourdough bread & homemade chutney, Selsy crab and salmon cakes. All fantastic. Not only did it all taste fantastic but the presentation is worth the price alone. You can see the menu in the photos I've added. For mains I had hanger steak with purple sprouting broccoli - incredible melt in the mouth texture that worked so well with the broccoli and a tasty sauce. Everyone else had fish was being at the coast is a great choice. My youngest daughter had hake in a beer batter which was so, so light and crispy. My wife and eldest daughter had pan fried fish (trout and turbot) with mash. Seriously, I could have eaten all the mains myself - I've not seen my wife finish a meal so quick, ok I kept stealing bits of her plate because it was rather yummy. I couldn't reach my daughters plate so easily. Desserts were equally well presented and equally tasty. The highlight was the chocolate brownie that was rich and gooey it the right proportions. The rummed raisins in my sable biscuit chocolate cake were fantastic. These lovely fruits just kept popping in my mouth. My eldest had the raspberry meringue which thankfully wasn't too sweet, although the meringue was a little harder than I expect it was obviously made in the kitchen as it had a lovely chewy inside rather than being all air. Overall, a brilliant meal. If you were eating this in London you would be paying twice as much as you are here. While you would probably only get half of the meal in London too. This is top quality food with portions you can live on. Go here now before the word gets out.

    Four real ales (at £1 less per pint than it's nearest rival), good-sized beer garden at the front…read moreand lots of space to spread out in through the back. Jukebox, hot water in the toilets and a Dyson had dryer. Cheery, friendly service.
