Castle at Edgehill in Cherwell

An absolutely lovely experience. The staff are so kind and helpful. Do remember it is an old castle, it is not a modern hotel, the restaurant has views to die for

Had a lovely meal with the kids. Food was amazing and so full of flavour. My Ham hock dish was one of the best meals I have in a pub restaurant. All the staff were friendly and all interacted with us, they all seemed really happy and we're great with the kids. Will definitely be back soon!

Had a works dinner here, the food was excellent, the staff were friendly the views outstanding. Definitely coming back.

What a wonderful restaurant and place to stop for a coffee or bite. Breathtaking views and beautiful architecture add a special feeling to this pretty castle. Joy to visit and lucky us to finding on our way to Upton House

Together with our son my wife & I were treated to afternoon tea at £25 per head £5 per head for prosecco On arrival my son was asked for a booking ref which he had on his phone & by printed e-mail The booking ref could not be found but we were shown to a table after our my son was asked to send a copy of the confirmation to the castle hill e-mail address which he did there & then The confirmation had come from the e-mail address he was asked to re-send it to !! We were told we could only have the table for 1 hour 45 mins , We already knew this & it was clearly explained in the booking confirmation e-mail The afternoon tea was very nice & very well presented , As we finished my son was asked for the booking ref again, so again, he showed all three of the e-mails relating to the confirmation As we left to pay we were informed that the “system” showed this booking reference had already been used , we were not told when, where or by whom We were told that it was probably a booking error due to having several booking systems My wife & I felt extremely uncomfortable , don’t think the staff intended to make us feel like common criminals but we did & could not wait to leave When my son paid the extra for the prosecco (he had already paid the £25 per head when booking on-line) , He was also charged £9,50 for a service charged that was described as concessionary which clearly it is not & he was not asked in advance Due to the experience we had my son asked for this to be refunded. After arriving home about an hour later my son received an e-mail saying thank you for the confirmation e-mail, now all sorted & we have not any-more explanation or questions since

Service was great the food was delicious and the view is stunning

A very nice place,room was lovely. Place is unique my granddaughter loved the castle very unique .

Lovely food, great atmosphere, and friendly staff.

Great Restaurant and Bar, amazing views out the back too! Staff are very friendly, food is top notch and good selection of drinks from the bar.

Had my 60th birthday meal here. Food was very good Service was excellent We all had a really good time. Definitely worth a visit

The place is beautiful. The food was very good. However, the staff from the beginning was announcing us that the table was booked for only 1 hour 45 minutes. Even when ordering, the staff was in a hurried attitude and advised on ordering both starters and mains to come all together. By any standards, this is very wrong. It is totally understandable that time=money on a restaurant but pressuring the customers like that is unacceptable. At the end of the meal, the waitress brought the bill without us asking for it. Unacceptable too. This place is putting their profits first and their customers second. They will eventually fail. Will not go back again just because of this.

Really superb little gastro pub in a stunning setting. The food here is always of a good standard and the menu is changed with enough regularity to keep it interesting for repeat visitors. Service is excellent. There is a good wine list and the team here really make you feel they love their pub and they enjoy being there. Decorated perfectly. Good layout, great atmosphere. Especially fabulous in the summer months or on sunny days when you can enjoy sitting in the garden but it is equally lovely with a roaring fire in the winter. Highly recommend The Castle at Edgehill.

Really enjoyed our lunch here yesterday. Beautiful view of Edgehill from the conservatory. Excellent fish and chips. Excellent service from a very nice lady. Very well priced food - fairly priced menu, not taking advantage of customers at all. Parking no problem. No surprise to find the restaurant packed on a Monday lunchtime ! May you have every success in 2025 !

If you get the chance, just GO!

Lovely place, beautiful atmosphere, and the most friendly staff! Food was gorgeous! I had the leek and potatoe soup and the seasonal veg. Have a children's menu and provided a hairchair also so very child friendly. Gin was made there and super delicious, a must try if you like your gin.

Fair play to the team at the Castle, they took my last review to heart and reacted very promptly to arrange a complimentary dinner as an apology and an opportunity to change our minds. And they succeeded with flying colours! We were there last night and the experience was to the impeccable standards we had been accustomed to previously. The food was excellent (the garlic sambuca prawns starter is delightful) and the service friendly and attentive but not oppressive. The Castle is thankfully back on our list of places to dine, with an extra appreciation for a team who truly understands the value of their customers.

Beautiful location, friendly staff good food and a roaring fire.

Celebrating a significant birthday, we were a party of 10. Food was excellent, service from hard working staff was amazing. Very special occasion for my family. We will definitely be back and will highly recommend this lovely restaurant to everyone.

Situated in a beautiful spot overlooking the historic battleground of Edgehill. Rooms were very nice, clean and well equipped. The staff were fabulous and friendly. A very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The food was fresh and delicious

Great food, great service. Really nice location! Will be back for summer!

Nice food but expensive,staff not that friendly.

Had my 2nd visit to The Castle for a meal. Cant recommend this restaurant highly enough, absolutely gorgeous place. Amazing views from the conservatory room and the food has been excellent both times. Also a nod to our waiter who was really friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

So disappointing for what was expected to be a special family Christmas experience. Will not be returning.

Mediocre food, expensive for what it was and staff not particularly engaging

Had a huge party in and their tills had gone down. So start of booking was slightly delayed but the food and service once sat at our table more than made up for it. Lovely friendly and the food is outstanding. Views I'd you can get a view seat, is beautiful. Even on a windy foggy day

Fantastic restaurant, visited for Sunday lunch and had an amazing meal, tremendous portions and the pork was cooked to perfection. The building and location are stunning with incredible views for miles around.Definitely recommend booking as unsurprisingly it's a popular place. Highly recommended!!

Fabulous place. A small castle with rooms in it and a cozy pub and restaurant below. Food was simply out of this world! I would like to know the recipes actually! We had salmon wellington and pumpkin risotto and scallops. Maybe slightly overpriced but very delicious. Restaurant has a beautiful view overlooking the valley. Great location for photos, small area but great views. Interior of the rooms though small had a castle like ambience. We were in the smaller tower so the view was blocked but I think big tower rooms would have a fabulous view.

Thanks to all the staff for a lovely service, incredible food, and gifting us a special bonfire night! From drinks to free marshmallows , DJ and fireworks . Such an incredible setting

What a beautiful place to visit! We only went to the pub and haven’t actually stayed the night, but food was really good, lovely staff and atmosphere. And most importantly stunning castle with the “wow” view. I will be definitely coming back!

Came for lunch today. Lovely venue, fantastic table with incredible view. Ryan and the team gave us a very warm welcome. Really enjoyed the food. Had one of the specials, "chicken pie" and was probably one of the best pies I have ever tasted! Highly recommend.

Mediocre expensive fish and chips that were greasy and left unfinished by 2 of us. Men’s toilets smell of urine and tissues on floor, generally grubby state potty it used to be a nice place.

Went to the Castle pub today as recommended by locals. We were really well looked after by Louis the barman who was so friendly and informative and also shown to a fantastic table with a great view by a lovely female staff member but didn’t catch her name. It’s well worth a visit

We visited The Castle on a pleasant, balmy, friday evening. The staff accommodated our dietary needs and were very helpful with regards the delay of one of our party and difficulty for another guest with the steps. Having said this, the service thereafter was a bit slow. The setting is particularly stunning, overlooking Warwickshire countryside - make sure to ask for a window table if you want to catch the sunset! We have mixed reviews on our food, which didn’t live up to previous visits. Main course of Chicken Supreme was bland and lacking a sauce. It would have been nicer with fresh vegetables or at least an alternative to the salad. Fish and Chips was fine but nothing special. However, the Fish of the Day was rated more highly - tasty and cooked well with lovely vegetables but our guest didn’t enjoy the crushed potatoes. The ‘dishes of the day’ were definitely the deserts. Of note, The Sticky Toffee Pudding with ice cream was extra special with the addition of honeycomb pieces. Overall, we all felt the food was pricey on this occasion. We would rate The Castle out of 5 as follows: The Food: 3 Service: 4 Value for Money: 2.5 Setting/Atmosphere: 4

Super food and excellent service, lovely views and highly recommend. We had Sunday lunch here with 8 people and would definitely be going back.

Absolutely beautiful place to go and eat, staff were so friendly and couldn’t be more friendly, taking their time to explain things. Food was amazing I was so impressed and the portions are very generous. Would definitely recommend this place 1million %

The views are spectacular on a clear day. The food here is lovely and tasty, and the drinks are good too. Real ale is especially good.

We didn't stay here but stopped for afternoon drinks and a bite. It was great, scenic and the staff were friendly.

Had a good lunch. Friendly staff although service was a little slow. I didn't like that, at the time of dessert, we were told that we had to leave the table within 15 minutes and so we gave up.

Food was fabulous. We had a lovely Sunday lunch.

The most gorgeous Pub around! The Castle never fails to impress us. We have had many meals here be it lunch when we’re passing by on a dog walk or a lovely Sunday Roast. Today was the best roast I’ve ever had, the slow roasted pork is amazing to say the least. Everything about the Sunday dinner was 10/10. Would highly recommend eating here or stopping for a drink. The views in the glass house and the garden in the summer is just beautiful.

Nice environment!! Havnt been for a long time but looks better . Some lovely views Told food is good 👍 Staff friendly Parking opposite and car park attached

I had an amazing two-night stay at this place! The staff were fantastic, and Ryan is the best host ever! The cocktails were out of this world, and the food was top-notch! We were traveling on vacation here from the US for two weeks, and this was the highlight of our trip.

Very charming place and child-friendly. The food is very good in such a place I highly recommend eating something.

I didn't stay here, so I can't comment on the accommodation, but had a delicious Sunday Roast here at the weekend. The place was full but the service still excellent. They have a vegetarian starters and mains, if that's your thing, but I had the Trio of Meats Roast dinner - pork, chicken & beef - and it was EXCELLENT. Make sure you add the Sunday Extras Board if you're there on a Sunday - the cauliflower cheese and the stuffing were both delicious.

Fantastic Pub and garden with Beautiful countryside views, friendly staff, and excellent food.

The most wonderful views for a drink in the summer. Very polite and friendly staff. Probably not the most suitable garden for children but equally not dangerous. Highly recommended.

Stayed at the Castle whilst attending a freinds wedding nearby & the staff were the loveliest! Food was amazing, room was lovely! Lovely little couple of nights at the Castle thank you lovely team x

Superb Sunday roast! Highly recommend

Wonderful location, Wonderful meal, Wonderful service by the lovely Marcia who looked after our every need. We will be back again soon, and hopefully Marcia will be serving us again.

Lovely evening with my hubby and dad great service from Marcia added with the delicious food, great views from the glass house over the Cotswolds

Had an awesome time at the bbq party. Musician was insane and the magician was unreal! Ryan was in the bar outside and was so attentive! Constantly checking we were ok for drinks! My daughter loved the bubblegum ice cream! The Castle is beautiful and the views are stunning! Our experience was honestly made by Ryan though, what a lovely man! Thanks for a beautiful evening castle, we love you!

We have just stayed at the castle and have to recommend this place for the Sunday roast that was exceptional. The service was amazing. Our waiter szymon was fantastic and was able to help advise me with my allergies well. The atmosphere was buzzing and we stayed in the suite which was fabulous. Can’t wait to come again!’l

Helpful manager (despite booking lunch so late for Bank Holiday Sunday) & the staff were efficient & charming. In fact, the manager organised a change of table from the bar area (which was very draughty) to the restaurant. My friend & I ordered the roast beef which was cooked to perfection (two pink large slices with huge roast potatoes, yummy Yorkshire pudding & vegetables). What could be better?! My husband had the burger which he described as excellent & not dried out. Lovely wine & a convivial atmosphere in the restaurant made for a very enjoyable afternoon. We felt that all of the staff were providing an excellent service ensuring all of the diners had a great experience.

Fabulous location, dog friendly bar, more of a restaurant/hotel than a pub.

I’ve eaten here a number of times now and never really been disappointed however this changed dramatically today after stopping off with a couple of friends for some lunch we opted for the sandwiches and loaded fries. The sandwiches were adequate, however, the loaded fries were somewhat undesirable. And had quite clearly been sat under the heat lamp for hours after sending them back and asking for a fresh loaded fries they were then returned one minute later and were the exact same fries just with some burger sauce and jalapeño sprayed on top. Trying to disguise the fact they weren’t even bothered about changing them out. Considering the sandwiches were £55 you would think some decent fries wouldn’t go a miss. I will, however say that the service was fantastic and I think all of this boils down to a bone idle and lazy chef All the best George

I had a wonderful roast dinner last Sunday in the lovely garden. Szymon provided me and my family with an excellent service and friendly conversation :) will definitely return soon

The building and its setting are spectacular and the food was excellent! We went for a birthday meal and the service from Marcia and the team was exceptional. They even personalised the dessert which was a nice surprise. We’ve driven past this place occasionally over the last few years but hadn’t got round to trying until now. One of the best eating out experiences we’ve had in ages. Will definitely be back!

Came for a drink at the castle, met a lovely host called Ryan who persuaded us to go for dinner, and what a dinner it was! We had a blade of beef and some ribs and they were unbelievable. Amazing service and experience - unlike anything I’ve experienced in a long time. Thank you so much! Big thanks to Ryan especially for making us feel so special and making our night! Will be back very soon.

I love The Castle at Edgehill! My husband and I came to The Castle the evening after our legal wedding ceremony to celebrate and we were so spoilt! There was an Ibiza Sunset party which was so nice and such a vibe! The garden space is perfect! We were spoilt to a lovely glass of Prosecco as a congratulations from Ryan which was such a special touch, Ryan was so lovely and looked after us so well whilst we were celebrating our special day! Ryan made us feel so special and welcome! The food was divine and service was so friendly and wonderful! We will be back! Thank you again!

Fabulous day with my friend and the dogs!This place is lovely, great location and the area around the castle is beautiful.Fantastic atmosphere and delicious food, friendly staff and outstanding service from Simon the waiter. Highly recommend for a visit.

Very happy with our stay. Delicious food! An extra plus, we were served by Simon who was providing a great customer service. Definitely coming back and bringing friends.

We had a lovely Coffee and cake, excellent service, very welcoming.

Great food, gorgeous building and great service, special thank you to Simon🌟. 10/10

Waiting and bar staff very friendly and helpful, especially Szymon. Great food, nice drinks, friendly staff.

Great service from Szymon and delicious food in a beautiful setting!

An all round lovely evening. Delicious food and an amazing view. Great service as well from our waitress Emily, very polite and catered for our every need. Would definitely give it a go !

Excellent service from Thomas and Emily.

Very nice meal and great and friendly service from Emily and Thomas.

We had a fantastic meal! The staff were extremely professional and welcoming, but not over attentive. The food was of a very high standard and good value. The panoramic views of Warwickshire were quite unbeatable. The building itself was very well furnished and is full of character. Overall very happy customers and will look forward to visiting the other restaurants in the chain.

Stunning building and location. There is information about the Battle of Edge Hill situated in the beer garden and views for miles across the valley and hills beyond. The Inn itself is quite small inside but they have built a garden room with extra tables to enjoy the view from inside on a rainy day. The food looked lovely although I didn't eat whilst here.

Delicious food, stunning views and friendly attentive staff, nothing was too much trouble for our server Tilly. Will be back to experience their 'date night' offer along with our doggie Cindy who was spoilt by all the staff!

Had a delicious blt sandwich with cracking views of Warwickshire.

Stopped here as part of a scavenger hunt. Staff were very friendly. Looked great inside with some beautiful views from the dining room.

Great service, great food, great view - couldn't really get much better!

Great pub. Lovely views. Nice, locally brewed beers. Friendly staff

Delicious food, excellent service. We were lucky to get a table with the most stunning view. Highly recommend a visit.

Absolutely fantastic place to stay and all staff were excellent. Nothing was too much trouble, food was excellent and rooms very tidy and clean. Would recommend to anyone.

Pros: Food was absolutely gorgeous and well worth the price. Portions were great and the fact that everything is produced locally is really spectacular. The view and location is stunning. Cons: Parking is difficult especially during peak times. Service was a bit slow especially if you request any changes out of the ordinary.

We came here for a romantic dinner. Drove a fair way just for the experience and it didn't disappoint. Great setting, great atmosphere.

We only ate in the restaurant but the actual hotel part, turret especially, looked amazing. The views must be fantastic on clear days.

Quirky mock castle with an interesting history. The pub serves a good selection of drinks and the food smelled great. Amazing views across the countryside overlooking the site of the Battle of Edgehill, which was the first encounter of the English Civil War.

Absolutely amazing. 11/10 would recommend to anyone for just a meal, just a drink, or even an event.

Beautiful, beautiful and BEAUTIFUL 😍

Stunning views and food! The home produced gin was great too!

Beautiful meal out with the family by the added kindness of the staff especially Ryan who went above and beyond to make sure we was catered for. Will definitely be visiting again. The views were also incredible

Always speedy service and tasty food in a beautiful setting. They have a big garden with lots of space and great views.

Lovely food, staff friendly and welcoming

Lovely place to visit for food or drink.

Stunning views from both the beer garden and the restaurant. This pub is located in a small village on a hilltop, and looks like a mini castle. Serving the always excellent Hook Norton Brewary ales, plus the usual array of wines and spirits. Definitely worth a visit!

Beautiful views, lacks cleanliness in sone areas and food is just good , where as other free spirit venues have amazing food.

Beautiful veiw and very pleasant

Visited this amazing building for a wedding anniversary meal and could not have been more impressed with the food, the setting with incredible views and a beautiful sunset, service and the general ambience. A night to remember. Will DEFINITELY BE BACK! 😊

Fabulous location amazing views and service in dining room was amazing. Food was really good - it was our wedding anniversary and was an absolute treat

A really delicious meal in a beautiful setting. The sevice was lovely, attentive and friendly.

Nice place out in the countryside village with great views, parking is limited, food was very good.

My first experience of the castle will certainly not be my last , the food was incredible, I had the pea risotto and the blade of beef , truly amazing… all the flavours complimented each other and along with an incredible views that meets you in the glass house restaurant.… Katies hosting skills are amazing and Sami behind the bar give the castle a welcoming and friendly vibe.

Beautiful location, gorgeous views from summer garden, very good service and delicious food.

Great spot with excellent views

Hoping to stay there after my wedding

Excellent lunch. The service wasn’t good but the food was very good. We had a table for 12 and were asked by management to choose our courses several weeks in advance. Quite odd but as the service on the day was poor - perhaps it explains why they would struggle to take an order from 12 on the day. They did take dessert orders from us but got it wrong. All in all I would recommend this restaurant but perhaps they can cope better with smaller tables.
