What David W likes about The Castle Inn Bistro:

When the burger arrived, it was served in a sweet, orange brioche bun that I found to be too sweet. The chips were over-fried and the lettuce was bland. I asked for gravy to go with the burger, as it was dry, but was told that burgers are supposed to be that way.

Nestled in a charming locale, this restaurant offers a mixed bag of experiences. While some patrons rave about the generous portions, flavorful dishes, and welcoming atmosphere—particularly the dog-friendly accommodations—others have faced issues with service and food quality. Complaints include overly sweet buns, dry burgers, and significant delays in meal service. However, highlights such as perfectly cooked beef and attentive staff remind many diners of the establishment’s potential. Overall, while it’s a cherished spot for some, others have felt let down, suggesting a need for consistency in both service and kitchen execution.
