Overall experience and food was positive, but 3 lunch dishes out of nine were delayed by 10+mins, and one even longer than that - turned out they couldn't identify which table it was for. This was disappointing as it wasn't that crowded or busy and it was very clear 6 of us were not eating while waiting for the remaining 3 dishes to arrive.

Its a cool local neighborhood pub with a reasonably priced menu and a decent drink list. Service was extremely slow (although the staff were lovely), even to get drinks or some water for the table. The place wasn't that busy so I was a little confused as to why it took so long to get some drinks to the table. Menu has great variety and prices are cheaper than most comparable venues with very decent sized meals as well. I had the palma, it was slightly burnt and also soggy at the time, and I cannot stand when they put your palma on your chips! So, I wasn't a huge fan although I still wouldn't write this place off completely. Perhaps they had some new staff, kitchen issues or were just not having their best day. I would still come back for a second chance and hope it doesn't disappoint next time around.

Castle Hotel food and service was great. Can highly recommend attending if you're after somewhere to get a good quality meal with friends or just have a catch-up over a drink.

From being greeted as we came in, to leaving with very full bellies, the service and food were great. The steak was cooked to perfection, which seems to be rare these days. When we are back in the city, am more than happy to go back and dine again or go for a few drinks.

Food and drink were good standard but service was a disorganized mess. Staff couldn’t find ingredients for cocktails, and confused one of our food orders so it basically eat what they brought or wait another 20 minutes. No refund or even complimentary drink was offered for the failure. Place was less than a quarter full so pressure of orders was not an excuse. I’m sure there are plenty of other places to have lunch on a Saturday where the staff give a hoot.

Meal and service from young guy with glasses and accent was great At end of meal asked for cappuccino and it seemed like a real effort for the tall gentleman that we asked - it wasn’t the same person that had looked after us all day, who was very pleasant - he then passed it over to the other guy as he couldn’t be bothered it was the tall guy that was earlier out chopping wood Our only negative was we were down the bottom section and it was absolutely freezing the open fire place in the corner hadn’t been lit
