Castle Inn Restaurant in Wiltshire

DO NOT RECOMMEND! We unfortunately all became VERY unwell after eating a Sunday lunch here. We all came from different areas to meet at a local pub to eat. Unfortunately after consuming the food we all became very unwell including Vomiting as a result of food poisoning. The pub has handled our case extremely badly and has taken well over 2 months to contact us. Would not recommend eating here unless you would like to become ill.

Friendly staff. Excellent food in an absolutely stunning location. I highly recommend l.

After a long, rainy walk through Castle Combe with our baby in her pram, we were told to ‘find another place with a big stroller like that.’ Absolutely unacceptable.

Review is for the restaurant not rooms. Amazing location, friendly staff and good food at a reasonable price. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely perfect village and lovely comfortable rooms with delicious food

Beautiful inn situated in a lovely quiet village. We didn’t stay in the rooms but we had dinner there and it was absolutely delicious. They were able to accommodate my allergy and I didn’t feel I missed out on anything. The beef brisket was to die for was too busy enjoying it to take a photo! The staff were wonderful so friendly and even surprised me for my birthday. Cannot recommend enough

Had Sunday lunch for 4. Excellent choice of roasts served on warm plates by friendly staff. Good value.

We stayed in Castle Combe for 3 days and visited the pub all 3 days. We had dinner here one night and it was amazing - wish we had another dinner here rather than the very expensive Bybrook. The other times we sat in one of the very comfortable lounge chairs with our cat the enjoy a drink and snacks. The pub is very cosy and welcoming. The restaurant much bigger than it first looks. Food definitely a gastro pub.

Was a great idea to visit this fabulous place Castle Combe and had delicious mulled wine in this wonderful cozy restaurant. Amazing atmosphere and friendly staff. Highly recommend to visit this beautiful place!

The fish and chips at the pub is very good.

Asked for dinner reservations for two people on several days. Even at 4pm with the restaurant largely empty, they were unaccommodating. Met another married pair who asked about dinner an hour later and they were seated. We weren’t exactly dressed as clowns, so it was an interesting assessment by teenage staff to turn away customers.

We had a fabulous christmas day at the castle inn. The whole team were delightful, the food was brilliant and we had a wonderful time 💕

The Cheeseburger was one of the best i ever had, chips are super nice crunchy! Service is friendly and quick. I also had the 11£ Bloody Mary which was the only thing that was disappointing: Glass was only 3/4 full, it was only vodka and tomato juice, but no lemon juice, Tabasco or at least some pepper and Worchestershire sauce. Or i just did not taste these ingrediants. Tipp: book a reservation, then you are allowed to park on the hotel parking space behind the fence.

Staff are very welcoming and helpful. Great service. a lovely relaxed atmosphere with gorgeous rooms and views. Would highly recommend!

The staff quite rude. It is sad we are almost in 2025, and hotels still employ people without enough training. In the Castle Inn, staff in the bar they do not know how to behave. They definitely need training.

Went for lunch. Food was great.

Very low quality pub. Tepid beer. Inedible food (except for fish and chips which was serviceable). Undercooked risotto, really inedible hamburger, horrible salads. Either cook had day off or more worryingly, he/she were actually on prem. Owner kept asking ‘how was it’ but should have figured it out given untouched plates. Needless to say no discount. Worst £165 we spent in a long long time. Save your souls and steer clear

Loved this spot and the location in Castle combe is really nice too. Burger and chips was super and really well cooked. Drinks were reasonably priced and service good too. Would recommend booking in advance, especially on weekends

Excellent food. I couldn't believe how good it was!

Wonderful spacious room- Room 4 was fantastic. Customer service was splendid and so was the breakfast. The location was the key. Happy to have visited in December, a week before Christmas, so the crowds were way less. I loved the morning breakfast loose leaf tea !!

Popped in for lunch after a long walk round surrounding countryside. Landlady very abrupt bordering rude. Only 2 other people in but we were told we couldn’t sit at a proper table in case a bigger group came in. We were told to sit at tiny cramped table in bar. Wouldn’t have minded if it was busy. Ladies toilet didn’t flush. Reported it to landlady and she said it did work. It definitely didnt. Grumpy and didnt smile once. Won’t be going back. Food average.

Pretty place. Wait staff in the pub/restaurant weren't interested in welcoming us into the space or discussing their menu. So we moved on.

Food was good and portion sizes were generous but the taste was pretty bland (not sure if this is the case for most British restaurants in general though). Also the doors were always opened so flies and bees kept swinging by.

A rainy day was brightened significantly by a lunchtime vist to The Castle Inn!! The staff were friendly and attentive, and the food was sesational. We had both vegetarian options, which were creative and delicious. Can't recommend highly enough!!

One of my best experiences visiting the authentic English countryside In the hotel lobby, we tasted English tea and cakes prepared from the expertise of beautiful countryside homes. A place worth visiting

Fabulous Sunday lunch! This pub inn offered great service, an excellent well priced wine list and exceptionally good food. We had the Sunday roasts, starters and desserts. Each course was a treat! We will visit again next time we are in the area.

Super place to unwind, play golf or to explore

Only a brief visit. Seemed lovely.

We were stopping opposite and enjoyed a fabulous dinner

Lovely little pub in beautiful village.

Very good selection of gin and spirits but i little to much overprice for doblue #gintonic i paid 26 pound

Hotel: 5 stars ~ Pub: 3 stars Hotel: Super cute place to stay. Right in the heart of the village. Comfy beds. Seriously slept the best here out of my whole trip. Clean rooms. Deep tub. Nice staff. Lovely amenities in the room. Going for breakfast was awesome! The full English breakfast wasn't the best but I really enjoyed the fritters with creme fraiche. Overall, I'm so glad we stayed here on our trip! The village is so wonderful to explore when there are less people and also really cool to explore at night. Pub: Expensive and lackluster. Our dishes were 25-30 pounds which is equivalent to $35-40 US dollars. The food was ok. A little dry and average flavor. I expect better at that price point. They are extremely small portions. Like so little that you're still hungry. You have to order more than one course to get full. Which wouldn't be a big deal if it wasn't so expensive. Paying 53 pounds, equivalent to $72 USD, for ONLY two main course plates is wild to me. No drinks, no appetizers, no dessert. Small portion of average food for over $70? Not worth it. I wish I had just ordered the fish and chips my friend ordered. It was actually really good and huge! That was the only thing I thought was worth the money.

A great place in the heart of Castle Crombe. Beer, room, dinner, and breakfast are amazing

Great view, great staff, great food. I love the daily specials

This review is just for the restaurant as cannot find a way to not review it as a hotel. Great atmosphere, amazing food. Staff were very lovely and attentive. Would eat here again!

The best restaurant in the cotswolds. Of all the places we have eaten in the Cotswolds, and we have not repeated a single restaurant or location in 6 days, this has been the best. At a reasonable price for the area. And the treatment has also been special, very good people, very friendly, and special affection towards our baby. As for the place, like almost everything in the Cotswolds, amazing. Venison carpaccio, and a spectacular dish of potatoes, wild mushrooms and others that I don't remember the name but it was exquisite. The dessert was a delicious chocolate with caramel and ice cream.

Wonderful hotel/pub nestled away in a beautiful, remote English village. Highly recommend that you both stay here for a night and eat in the pub downstairs.

Lovely location, friendly service and dog friendly.

I'm reviewing the Castle as a restaurant, not a hotel, but Google is trying to suggest that course of action to me! I was there last night on a Monday in half term, so presumably a busy time. They coped fine, with good friendly service, and some really good food. My wife had a fish main which she said was an excellent bit of fish. I had the cauliflower main with spices which was fantastic, still raving about it now! My son loved his macaroni cheese from the kids' menu so the venue was thumbs up all round. Then, it's a stunning location, and really quite beautifully presented so all in all, well worth a visit. Our second time here and no drop in standard visible at all. Not cheap, but had a meal just now that cost less than half that this restaurant charged but still not a bargain because it just wasn't good. If you like interesting well cooked food, you'll be fine here.

We went for lunch the food and service snd location were all excellent

? Has anyone suffered different treatment at this Pub ? a bad customer service At very bad customer service Firstly a very crowed, disorganized reception area. A lady in Blue top And black jeans (Manager of the pub) when we were waiting with other customers asks who is first to arrive, I said a I just arrived so she gave table to other family waiting before me. (No issue but what a greeting: I would say welcome everyone may I please know who has been waiting longer?) Then i asked how long the wait for table, she said she can’t tell me time (didn’t offer if you would like to wait) . I said happy to wait. She said can you wait outside (no please used just an order) ? I said can you write my name on waiting she said we don’t but you wait and I will call you. This was14:00hrs. I patiently waited outside holding door I saw few more customers were given table in between. (See blue marking of unreserved table given while I waited on booking picture attached- I can confirm there were no personal details just name bu I have still hidden it) So when there were four more customers went In at 14:15. I went in two and a bold headed waiter offered them a table. I intervened him to say can you speak to lady in blue as I am waiting for 15 mins and it’s unfair to give a table to walk in customer. He was so rude and said I am serving this customer so offering table to them. Don’t care about you. That point I realized the way I was greeted first and refused table despite waiting as advised was something to do with the way I looked or where I come from? Ofcorse they dined me the table but horrible, horrible customer service. Please anyone has faced this at this venue? A good pub should have 1: a nice reception for waiting customers 2: if you are not writing name of waiting customer outside restaurant then only one person should take customers. In my case next waiter takes customers despite I asked he didn’t bother. 3: I feel a manager first greeted me should have ensured I get next available place. I felt i was I treated differently because of my origin ? This spoiled our day trip to Castle Comb

Was walking in the area and popped in for a nice beer and a snack. A well presented and cosy pub with a reasonable choice of drinks and food. Friendly and professional staff and nice to chat with other customers too. A great place to chill and escape the grockles!

We came here for lunch whilst we were visiting the town and we absolutely loved it! Emma (we think) was our waitress and she was lovely and attentive, and had a chat about her recent trip to aus! The food was delicious and had amazing gluten free options! Would definitely come again and recommend :)

We ate at the Castle inn and had a so so experience. My wife had the fish pie with winter vegetables and I had the potato rosti. Her pie she said was good but the carrots although tasty seemed to have not been thoroughly cleaned. She described them as " gritty". My dish was completely overcooked, the fried egg was rubbery and the rosti was so overcooked I struggled to cut it and eventually gave up leaving the meal unfinished. The pub itself is lovely. I only gave the service 4 stars because they were a little slow and no one checked to see if we were enjoying our meal after it had been delivered. We spent £47 on two main courses and one soft drink so this is not a cheap place. A disappointment.

We sat outside to have a lovely refreshing drink, admiring the beauty of this quaint village. The drinks were Reasonably priced and good quality. The hotel is very pretty and love the series of photos sharing the film connection this beautiful village has. Well recommended

I recently visited this pub and was thoroughly impressed by the cosy ambience, especially the grand fireplace that adds a warm and inviting touch to the setting. The staff here are genuinely friendly. Highly recommend it for anyone in search of a cozy place.

Stayed in for the dine-bed & breakfast pack to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Was warmly welcomed upon arrival. Table service was excellent, everyone was attentive and very professional, food was hot & cooked to perfection. Service just seemed to flow and everyone serving was perfectly in sync with each other. We had a cocktail in the lounge after dinner which was quiet and cosy, just what we were hoping. For those wanting a little bit more entertainment, the Manor just across the road provides music and drinks. I would have suggested having the fire on in the dinning room next to the bar & lounge but not sure if they could be used. Fire was on by the entrance though. Room was warm, cosy and very well decorated, view was perfect and in general we had a comfortable night. Breakfast was served just as well as dinner but in their beautiful orangery/conservatory. Fresh local products and a mix of cooked breakfast with continental. Was a bit cold on arrival in there but coffee & food soon warmed us up. Walking out of the hotel takes you straight into the village to visit the beautiful scenery. Can't fault it at all and highly recommend it. Parking isn't easy but we parked up the road free of charge, just a couple of minutes of walking distance.

This is not a review about the pub as such. We had a drink there, but were staying at the Manor House. This is what you might call a 'protest review' and the reason? they DO NOT TAKE CASH!.. I would like to know what is wrong with cash! The smirking young barman who served me simply said 'it's not company policy'.. what a bland get out! I could understand that taking of cash was stopped during Covid for hygiene reasons. However many establishments have continued this policy because it is more convenient for them. If you analyse it.. it's just sheer laziness. They don't want to handle the notes or give change.. they don't want to use a till. It's just the opposite for the customer who will then have to see everything listed on their bank statement. Do these establishments care about this?.. of course not, they care about themselves My cash is as good as any card and if you refuse it shame on you!!

A perfect country pub serving sublime food with superb flavours in a fabulous setting...warmed by a roaring log fire... Superb 🥂

Lovely room. In the converted roof space, but watch out of you’re 6foot or taller headroom isn’t great. It makes up for it in character. Dog friendly hotel, beautifully restored. Restaurant and food are excellent. £20 for a juicy burger and beef dripping deep fried proper chips is reasonable for the location. Same for haddock and chips with flaky white fish and the crispiest batter I’ve ever seen. I’m afraid the breakfast is a bit of a sting. Not included in the nightly cost and £20pp. Worth it maybe if you’re a big eater planning to max out on cereals croissants yogurts fruit and the full English and extra sour dough toast. My photos are from the village and not the actual hotel. I’ve erased the scores of tourists to show you how Castle Combe may have looked when it was once a hidden gem !

Castle Combe is a period drama director's paradise, and the service at the Casle Inn was great!

The best meal we had in the Cotswolds! The food was delicious and the staff were so lovely. It’s also beautiful inside and a perfect location for exploring!

We had lunch at the Castle Inn Restaurant and we were pleased with this find in the beautifully preserved village of Castle Combe. Food was good and reasonably priced.

We enjoyed a relaxed evening here with delicious food and drinks and great service. The menu was varied with plenty of choice. The steak was cooked to perfection. Lovely atmosphere.

The pub looked very pretty with beautiful hanging baskets, sat at the top of the beautiful main road in Castle Combe. When we opened the door to go in we were hit with the smell of fish. We only went in for a drink, my wife had a large glass of chardonnay and I had a bottle of low alcohol beer, I was horrified to be charged £17.20, (I took a big gulp and not of one of the drinks) I just thought we will only stay for one. I felt guilty when I saw other tourists ordering at the bar and not warning them of the prices.

Had family supper at the Castle Inn last night and was incredibly impressed by the quality of the food and service. Every course was delicious.. Salmon Tartar, Haddock Scotch Eggs starters were to die for! Fish of the day Hake & steaks were fabulous... Ice Cream Sundaes and Fudge addictive! This is the 3rd time we have eaten here in the past 12 months and we are never disappointed! The food is top notch and has an elevated quality that you do not expect from an Inn..such a treat ! Service was also great.. our waiter Oli was smiley and friendly, going out of his way to make our evening special. So wonderful to have a traditional Inn serving a modern twist on classics in a relaxed and beautiful environment. But don't just believe me, go try for yourself!

Had a visit to picturesque Castle Combe, and popped into the Castle inn for lunch! The food was very tasty, and of a high standard. I had the Confit Creedy Carver duck & ale rarebit & pickled walnuts, followed by Tonka bean panna cotta, Wye Valley strawberries & strawberry sorbet, both were delicious!! We took our 3 dogs in, and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend, and go there again!!

We are here one night. Although the interior is upscale, the food was just typical pub food and nothing special.

Excellent venue with superb food. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Dog friendly as well. Wonderful cotswold village full of olde world charm.

Really fabulous food in a gorgeous setting, such unusual flavours. Lovely polite waiting staff in a great spot. Top marks!

This was not a restaurant! The room was cold and we both needed additional layers. The staff however were lovely. Food was mixed. My wife had fish and chips which she really enjoyed and I had monkfish which was hugely disappointing. The portion seemed large but was almost entirely bone! And no potatoes with it. I did complain and they knocked off £10 from the exorbitant £30. Also my wife wanted some bread with her starter and we were charged £5 for the privilege. Really not on. In summary, my wife had a lovely meal and mine was spoilt.

We were just having a light lunch, but wish we’d had more, the good was so good, especially for vegetarians, none of your normal run of the mill boring options. Between us we had mackerel with broad beans, Wye Valley asparagus with a delicious green hummous (forget what was in it, but really good) and an Isle of Mull cheddar soufflé. With a lovely local pint and some good chips. A really nice pub too, in the heart of the village.

Lovely pub in a lovely spot in Castle Combe. Had a good bottle of Prosecco which was presented well. We sat outside and had friendly service.

Visited Castle Combe and stopped here for lunch. Staff was very pleasant. Meal was very good. The restaurant was very quaint and of course the area around the restaurant is beautiful. My wife and daughter both really enjoyed the meal. I would recommend a stop here.

Ristorante tradizionale con arredamento moderno situato in una delle case medievali in pietra del villaggio di Castle Combe. Abbiamo apprezzato il tipico "Fish & Chips" ed uno stufato di agnello con verdure veramente sublime. Birra IPA e dolci della casa. Servizio puntuale e cortese.

Precioso restaurante situado en el pueblo de Castle Combe, de imprescindible visita en la zona. En nuestro caso, sólo tomamos unas cervezas porque estaba lleno para cenar. Pero el ambiente nos pareció genial

Not eaten here but the food looks nice. Went in here after a walk and the staff were rude and unhelpful. They told us that to eat here was first come first serve however then told another couple that you could reserve tables and had tables in reserve. Clearly lying as we had just been for a walk and wasn't dressed 'up'. Lost valuable paying customs. Staff looked down their nose at you and didn't want us in there. If you've been for a walk and want pleasent staff go to White Hart next door. Food is just as good and the staff want you there.

We planned a day out which included Castle Combe, booked a table on line as we did not want to find we could not get lunch in a small village, surprised at a request for a £30 deposit but do understand how frustrating no shows...

We came here for lunch after exploring Castle Coombe, which is a lovely village. The pub itself blends into the village, being old and characterful. The food here was exceptionally good - as was the service. I really couldnt fault anything - an excellent meal....

This is my 4th day dining in the Cotswold area, so I’ve experienced a few restaurants and pubs. This one is step above the others—the vibe, the staff, the food are each excellent in its own right. My only criticism is that I was about...

Enoyed a good evening with very good food (the steak was cooked as requested and came with some of the best chips ever), friendly and efficient service, and we had a good, spacious table

We had a great evening meal here, on two nights. First time I've seen celeriac wellington on a menu, and it was incredible. No hesitation recommending - staff on both nights very friendly indeed. Thank you!

Warm welcome and beautiful log fire burning however lunchtime menu overpriced and trying too hard to be overly sophisticated when catering for walkers and locals.

This was ideal for a business gathering, as we could use a separate dining room. The food was very good, without being too clever, the wine list was comprehensive and the service very good without being over the top. Being a few minutes walk from...

Right in the center of this lovey village is an Inn which puts out excellent food. The menu changes regularly but is inventive and excellent value. The kitchen team have real skills and I'll return!!

By staying at the nearby Manor House we were able get a table for dinner at this sister establishment. Some tables had bench seating but we managed to be seated at a table meeting our preference for chairs. I had a perfectly good crab starter...

We had a really nice meal here. The staff were friendly and the food very tasty. Unfortunately it was very quiet. Very sad to see just before Christmas!

We visited while on holiday nearby and managed to get the last table for lunch one day. The food was absolutely delicious, rissott cooked to perfection, crab linguine just so tasty, and the squid was perfect - not greasy or too much batter. Your temperature...

Delicious food and great choice of local beer, cider and gin. Service excellent and friendly. Would really recommend the sirloin steak.

Stayed at the inn for a couple of nights. We had a nice room although the bed was a bit low - personal choice. Food in the restaurant was very good. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was freshly cooked with good quality ingredients.

As we were staying at the hotel, we walked to this restaurant, which was a pleasant 2 minutes. The C-19 measures are efficient - waiting to be greeted outside, temperature check and hand sanitisers. We arrived a little early and ordered drinks to take to...

We felt comfortable eating here as they seem to be taking good measures against Covid-19 transmission. The food was fantastic, especially the blueberry and lemon trifle and the service was great. My only criticism would be that given the price of my main dish (pork...

we ate in the Castle Inn on 2 nights of a 3 night stay. We were also staying in the Inn. The evening meals were stunning. There was a good choice and everything was cooked to perfection. I can thoroughly recommend the Blade of Beef,...

Lovely food and really friendly service. We spent the whole afternoon there playing board games and drinking hot chocolate.

We enjoyed an excellent meal from a varied and well thought out menu. Our food was all cooked to perfection. Lovely warm atmosphere and pet friendly too.

Dropped in after a long walk and was very lucky to get a table. I stayed here years ago and remembered it as good and the sheer number of diners shows it is still popular. Whilst waiting, I had an excellent local lager, Cotswold Lager,...

Sandwich lunch was excellent. Staff were switched on and engaging. Good range of drinks. Not much else I can say.
