Castle - Bothwell

Stopped for lunch. A lovely cosy old pub built in 1829. Food was delicious. Very well priced to.

It's a true, small town country pub!So it definitely had -1. Very generous portions in each meal. (Steak sandwich so good, I had two. Lamb shanks in great gravy you will lick the plate. Battered fish like the good old days)2. An adequate selection of beers (but you're not there for posh beer choices, really)3. Friendly staff.4. Photos of the Hotel going back to 1860! How COOL! But it's older than that....5. A small quirky public bar filled with odds ends (football trophies, stuffed Fox wearing sunglasses, old newspapers etc)These are the establishments we MUST preserve. We must continue to frequent.

Best lunch so far this trip, huge. Service was exceptional beer was cold.

Can't go wrong. Amazing food, great service and spot on atmosphere. Worth a visit on the way through or to exclusively go there. Porterhouse steak is amazing

Because of the roadwork on the midlands highway and as a former coach driver we decided to take the somewhat longer but more scenic alternative route back from our week d to the tulips with my visit sister in law. we went around 16:30 16:45 to from a 'so, what do they want?' "there was a couple young biker, walker naturally enjoy the bar and seems that we were an interruption. in the grunde, kitchen is closed, it is a Sunday of the holidays and indicates to use and go the loo. was very embarrassing and fortunately no group of people. sign outside said open, but didn't want the point as people like so. good. castle, hmm seems the train bridge was up. go in the future to the derwent bridge or miena.
