Castlewood Brewers Fayre

Staff absolutely brilliant can't do enough for you, all of them

Really great. Good quality food prepared without delay. Everyone was really kind especially as our son has Downs Syndrome and can be fussy with his food. Great for dinner and breakfast

Lovely staff. The food was nice. Fish and chips tasty and nice portion. Lentil hotpot was lovely and hot. House wine was also very good. In overall we enjoyed it.

We had a lovely date night at the Castlewood the other day.
We ordered the Vegan chicken smothered in BBQ sauce, vegan cheese and vegan bacon. It came with chips, salad and a vegan Slaw. I was very excited for it and although I didn't like the Slaw (personal preference, I imagine it was made well enough) the rest was lovely. My only complaint was that the BBQ sauce wasn't added. When I asked the waiter about it he said he would ask and then never returned. I'm not that bothered though it was still nice.
We had the vegan black forest sundae after and that was amazing! Very much enjoyed by us both.

I needed to meet a client around junction 28 of the M1 and suggested the Castlewood. First impression was it looked tired. We ordered drinks at the bar, the only draught beer available was Doombar, which was poured by a member of staff who was more interesting in getting back to his friends at the end of the bar than the task in hand.

Most of the tables were reserved, even though they were never used all evening, but eventually we found what I thought would be a quiet corner to discuss business. At this point I noticed both beers had gone flat as well as one being a short measure. We drank them and then moved onto a bottled beer, because how could that possibly go wrong!? For some reason the bartender opened the bottle and then with his hand wiped the top of the bottles before handing them to me. No glasses, just bottles!

We continued our meeting and a family came in with a young child. The child was allowed to run around the tables screaming and shouting, which was very distracting. The parents were totally oblivious to it all, as were the staff. While I fully appreciate children are allowed in pubs and need to be child friendly these days, I would have thought some sort of control would be expected by the establishment. Not all adults want to sit in a Wacky Warehouse. This was so bad we decided to call the meeting off.

My experience was embarrassing and not one I would wish to repeat. I am so pleased we didn't eat there. Will I go back….. absolutely not nor would I recommend it!

To be honest not the best meal I've had in a pub probably have to try again. But not cheap and not the best portion sauce was bland steak was thinner than my credit card...and not cooked well at all my friend had mashed potatoes and they looked awful like slop to be honest staff were friendly and helpful....I don't think I'll be rushing back to be honest not a good experience for me.....

All the tables were taken so we were directed to the bar seating area, which they use as overflow tables for the restaurant, where a waitress was with us in minutes.
My son had a steak pie and mash, he said it compared with the best he'd had, I had their basic cheeseburger (with bacon as standard) meal, which was great, no chewy, grisly beef in the pie or the burger.
Ample parking with plenty disabled spaces.
There's also a great, secure play area for children (with a small charge), with cctv to the dining areas.
I will definitely return, in fact my daughter's just booked seating to celebrate my grandsons birthday.

Very nice. Stopped for lunch on a Monday. Service was great, very quick and easy. Nice staff. Food was good, hot and good portion sizes. Clean and not loud. plenty of parking.
