Our first visit, enticed by a discount voucher, but definitely our last. We went on a Thursday evening, and the venue was quite busy. We ordered and waited for 45 mins before we were given the wrong order. We then waited another 15 minutes before our actual order came (we both had ordered the same dish) and most of our food was frozen - yes, actually solid, cold frozen! Whoever thought that was acceptable to be sent from the kitchen ought to fired. We felt so sorry for the very hard-working Restaurant Manager, who did what she could for us, but which ultimately resulted in a full refund, and us vowing never to return!

The pub looks stunning but apart from that its bad. Terrible service which manager put down to new systems but last time we came (before the most recent bar refurbishment) we had a similar experience. After attempting to give it another go we really regretted it. We waited 1 hour and 20 for mains which after two conversations we had with the manager was STILL not ready. A table sat behind us which was seated 40 minutes after us had their meal before ours (one eating something we had on order) Honestly its terrible. The communication is terrible. The service is a mess. The building refurb looks great but is pointless if the basic fundamentals of providing a service are none existent. Avoid at all costs if you plan to eat.

We use this place regularly but tonight has been the worst experience. The service in the restaurant area was painfully slow, it seemed the waitress was more occupied talking to friends than serving, so slow in fact I went to the bar to get my own drinks. The chicken wings were over cooked and hard almost inedible. The burgers and steak asked for as medium were infact well done. We even had to ask for the Coleslaw, that was supposed to come with the burger, as despite waiting for an absolute age for the mains it was not complete when it arrived. Then, to top it all having received the bill it included an item we had not ordered. I can only express our disappointment.

I visited the Castle for the first time recently. I came with two friends who had recently arrived on holiday from Australia. Needless to same we were all very disappointed. The Castle wasn’t busy as it was early in the evening. The young girl taking the orders was very pleasant. When the meals arrived .two of the meals were not according to what we had ordered. I wanted chips instead of the baked potato. My meal arrived with the baked potato which was burnt, a black colour. It had been reheated. I complained, the chips arrived, all 8 of them . They had been reheated! The rump steak was fine. The sauces were inedible, the onions, peppers were cool and soaked in watery juices. My two friends had issues as well, poor quality meals. The bowl of mushrooms did not arrive with one of the meals. They arrived after we complained. The pub has overstretched itself. The so called’ Seared’ menu is meaningless as far as I am concerned. I will not be visiting the Castle again unless it changes for the better.

First time coming to the pub and we were loving the place and the food all on the menu looked amazing however sadly once we had received the food it didn’t live up to the expectations for example the cheese sauce on the Philly cheese steak burger wasn’t a cheese sauce it was cheese jelly on the side of the plate. also transpired in the chicken skewers as they weren’t grilled and over cooked. Staff were lovely at the place had a nice feel sadly the food let it down a lot

Been to Seared twice now since it’s refurbishment and have been disappointed both times with the food. First occasion I was served raw chicken (very much uncooked, still transparent). This occasion the food was really disappointing again. It’s obviously a very popular place for the young crowd of the local area and price wise is decent - just poor food.

An all round great experience. Lovely refurbishment akin to a Cosy Club in the restaurant area but bar still clearly defined with sports coverage. Menu varied although chicken heavy. Food arrived very promptly. Was expecting quite low quality given the price and previous food served but it was very good for a very reasonable price. We will definitely be visiting far more often and we’re very impressed with the friendly and welcoming service and atmosphere, too.

Went today and was pleasantly surprised. Building is beautiful outside, decor inside is new and not to everyone's taste I would say, could be a bit classier tbh. Waiting staff were all very attentive and polite, all excellent. I ordered South American rump steak and asked for it to be cooked medium rare. It was a really nice thick cut of beef and the cook had cooked it to perfection. Really exceeded expectations.

Went for a 50th birthday meal with a big bunch of people family and friends most of food was nice but quite a few meals were very under cooked raw chicken I've been very ill from eatting a indian chicken burger a family member sent hers back as mine was covered in sauce I neba noticed and about 8 of the guests were all over charged awaiting a refund my partner was told at the end of the nite there was an outstanding table of food and drinks but we found they were a family members who was over charged and the table number was mixed up but they paid for what we paid for so yet to contact staff over that as 30£ is abit much to let fly the pub is a nice place to go for a drink but what ever u order food wise check apart from that it is a gud place to go when not busy

Went here forgetting it had been refurbished. Totally different inside. Nice and bright . We were shown to our seats via a lift as 1 of our group is a wheelchair user . Looked very promising. Then we looked at the menu and began choosing... 1 of our group requires blended food, the kitchen couldn't do this & said the food we chose isn't blendable. ( we do meals everyday & know what we can & cannot blend for this person). We were told that if we have to leave without eating the drinks would be free. We decided to get food anyway as we had our own blender & jug with us & they needed to eat. We asked to swap chips for mashed potatoes, the kitchen does not serve mashed potatoes so then we chose jacket potatoes thinking with butter it will be smooth & creamy, they were hard & came dry, we got 3 little ovals of butter when we asked.we made it work in the end but Looking back we should have just left without eating ,it felt like we were asking too much or being awkward. having a wheelchair lift helped but disabilities arnt just down to limited mobility. Being an eating establishment and not realising or tending to people who have different needs concerning food & eating is terrible .

Oh... my... gosh...! What an incredible experience! The food was absolutely delicious, and portion size was fantastic. It was all cooked fresh, and was so tasty. The menu was just absolutely amazing!! So much variety of different styles of food, it isn't like "normal" pub food but so much more variety than just the boh standard. You can actually taste foods that you wouldn't necessarily have in a pub! The staff were amazing as well, so polite, friendly, and just made great recommendations, super fast as well. I can not wait to go back again, there are so many different foods I want to try. We had the tikka burger, corn ribs and the deep fried bao buns, with the cherry blossom mocktail. All of these were just delicious and I'd have them all again in a heartbeat!

Refurb is nice but the food and menu poor. Too many options. No quality. Burger was burnt, lamb shoulder dry and warm not hot. Starters really small for the money but tasted better than the mains. Greasey deep fried desserts. The bao bun dessert was full of it. The fondue for the kids was great but again, weird grease nachos type things around it and pieces of bao buns. Strawberries and waffle was edible. Just think they need to concentrate on some quality not quantity. Didn’t seem like they could handle numbers. Dessert took 40 mins after food to come out. I didn’t complain as I was with a lot of family and don’t like to cause fuss in public. But wouldn’t recommend to a friend. Hopefully it gets better here

Recently refurbished inside and out, we were impressed with the decor. Clean, tidy and refreshing pub with lots of spaces to eat and relax. We ordered a shared platter £24.95, the Caribbean one. Perfect amount of meat and very tasty. Our only complaint, if you could count it as a complaint, is that we would have liked more vegetables, slaw and sweet potato to increase the size in keeping for two to share!

Dinner for 3 people, starters were OK, they wanted to bring main course immediately after we'd taken last mouthful of starter, managed to get a 10min gap between. My steak was rare as requested but was dried out on top (obviously kept warm for ages) and inedible) grilled tomato was hard. Best bit was tiny baked potato but they're hard to ruin. Noisy atmosphere, like eating in a canteen. Definitely wouldn't go again. So disappointed. Expensive, poor food.
