Needs more stars than 5!
16 of us had dinner to celebrate my wife's 70th.
Half our guests had no idea where we were taking them so it was a total surprise to arrive at this unique landmark.
Everybody was bowled over by the Castle and it's ambience. After a very windy, rainy day it had come sunny and with a breeze so the roof terrace(s) (actually 3 areas so two were out of the wind) was a perfect mingling point to admire views before we ate.
The service and food matched the perfection of the venue.
From initial planning to the evening, the management were a great help, answering all my questions. As communications (phone etc) are difficult up there, you do have to be patient as they generally respond during the morning.
I had read reviews that commented on the narrow road up but went and checked it out first. If needed you could get a minibus up there (although probably not the last 200 yards) but I did concede to give a lift to one guest as he might have resisted taking his big expensive Mercedes up.
In conclusion, the venue unique and atmospheric, the food excellent (two of our guests have run Cookery Schools) and the service smooth, discreet, efficient and exceptional.
Above all else brilliant value.
What an experience it was to have a meal in a castle! Very reasonably priced, lots of drinks to choose from and a dessert menu too. Such a unique experience with the ability to explore the castle and rooftop too.
I got the chilli chicken with naan - I will say it looked and tasted like the naan was shop bought rather than made fresh on site but I appreciate space may be limited in a castle kitchen, and I could be wrong! Didn't detract from the meal which was very tasty and flavourful.
Partner got the sirloin steak which came with carrots, potatoes, garlic mushrooms and green beans - all very tasty and great portion sizes for us both.
Finished off with the cheesecake and Baklava, both of which were lovely.
At any point you're able to go up to the roof via some quite narrow stairs for some beautiful views over the countryside. Was cloudy when we went but I could imagine you'll get some amazing sunset views in the evening!
Overall 5* would definitely recommend for a romantic evening or family meal 🤩🤩🤩.
Stunning Castle Restaurant with a Great View, and you can see for miles in every direction. Superb location for a Restaurant. Booking is required.
