AMAZING! My partner booked this restaurant for my birthday and I was blown away! The service is amazing! All staff were polite and made my evening that little more special! The service was quick and well paced, the drinks were lovely and the food is Devine! I would eat there every day if I could. I would recommend this place for special occasions as it is a smart dress restaurant. I would even consider it to be engagement material!

I’m blown away by the experience. The food is absolutely delicious. I had quiche of the day and orzo salad which was amazing. My husband had a delicious gammon with eggs and our boy had a really nice cheeseburger. We chose a table outside with a view at the castle. Wholeheartedly recommend

We visited Castle view Restaurant last night for our 35 wedding anniversary. On arrival it was very under-whelming, the area we sat in had basic cafe table and chairs - no table cloths, no table decorations and no ambiance - I was almost tempted to leave there and then but as my husband had booked I felt we should give it a try. The food was actually very tasty and although there were plenty of people dining we did not have to wait long to be served. Most of the staff were attentive, some more engaging then others - William was especially kind and took some great pictures on the terrace which I am grateful for. I am not sure why they ask at the time of booking if it is for a special occasion as no reference was made that it was our anniversary. I don't think it would take much to enhance the evening experience so you feel that you are actually dining in a lovely restaurant rather than a basic cafe and to be honest both the food and drink prices were steep. During the course of the evening, the staff were setting up breakfast tables for the morning which I did not feel appropriate - on a plus note we did go to The George Inn, Lower Street, Leeds which is only a mile away and finished off our anniversary celebrations there which was fabulous.

A great location overlooking Leeds Castle, indoor and outdoor dining. Not a massive variety of foods and wine on the menu but certainly adequate. Not as expensive as I thought for a captive audience. The staff were a little busy so things didn't flow quicky but it is not some where that you rush away from even if there are plenty of attraction to see.

We stayed at Leeds Castle overnight so had dinner and breakfast in the Castle View Restaurant. Dinner was very nice staff very pleasant and lovely views. Breakfast was also good however at both Dinner and Breakfast not enough vegetarian options on the menus. The cheesboard at dinner also not worth the money we paid it had 6 small crackers on and three small bits of cheese we were offered no knifes or small plates and these had to be asked for. We also ordered a bottle of apparently organic prosecco? After waiting for it for ages it came up as a brand that is bought in the supermarket at around 10.50 so was very surprised we were charged £38 ! It was definitely not organic so should not have been described as such. Overall I would not return.

Arranged a meal for my mother and her partner for her 75th birthday at this restaurant, as she is a huge fan of the golf course here and its surrounding beauty. Tried to arrange payment for the meal over the phone, and was told to purchase a voucher, as the restaurant couldn’t hold card details. After doing so, I received an email saying it would be up to 10 days before the voucher would arrive. I then rang the next day to ask if the email confirmation would be ok to allow her to have the meal there, as the voucher wouldn’t arrive in time. I was told this wouldn’t be a problem, and a special note would be attached to the booking note. Upon arrival I was called to be told that this wouldn’t be ok after all, and that my mother would have to pay for her meal herself. I asked for them to please not inform my mother of this, and to ring me once the meal was finished so I could pay over the phone. After 3 attempts to make a payment failed, i had to ask my wife else to pay for me, as the restaurant couldn’t seem to process the payment, even though both of our cards are registered to the same address. My wife used to work in retail and has no idea why the restaurant can’t do transactions she was able to do 20 years ago. In all, with a £140 voucher that will take 10 days to return to me, and the meal itself at £100, I managed to spend £240 for a simple meal for 2 people. It was absolutely ridiculous, and embarrassing for the restaurant to not be able to arrange a birthday gift meal in 2024, and for staff to leave my mother and her partner at the table until the bill payment had been agreed, without knowing them why they couldn’t leave. Plenty of restaurants are able to reserve deposits or tabs on cards on encrypted systems and it’s unbelievable that an events restaurant can’t manage something so simple in this day and age; perhaps being in sight of a Norman castle has them confused on basic modern tech.

Noting the mixed reviews for Castle View I am pleased to say I thought the food quality was excellent and the ambiance lovely. With three other guests in the party having an evening meal we all enjoyed three courses and the food was beautifully cooked, well presented and tasty! Great portion sizes. Local wines on the wine list and staff all very friendly. I would most certainly return as the food and experience was great. Lovely view of castle while eating. The Castle View restaurant also serves as breakfast room for those staying overnight in the castle accommodation, in my opinion just to make the place a little more refined the breakfast serving trays should all be taken out from the far side of the restaurant as this makes the place look a bit like a canteen which it is not!! That did not detract from the delicious meal we had however.

We stayed in Leeds Castle for a 2 day weekend and had a great experience in the castle and location. The Restaurant seems to have lost its direction. Lovely location. But I don't want to sit in a restaurant that leaves out breakfast buffet containers and cutlery - it makes it feel more like a function room Very limited TDH menu, with 2 courses at £36.00 - which was overpriced when a mains in chicken. The bar is more like a temporary set up. Breakfast was good one morning, but poor the following morning. With limited covers they changed the hot food to come from the kitchen - which is ok. But the scrambled eggs sent out were terrible and actually poached eggs smashed up - shocking and the chef should be told how they have impacted the restaurant. Perhaps they need to check with the chef from the prior day who knows how to cook scrambled eggs and presented them on the buffet Staff in the restaurant were all very friendly I believe this restaurant has so much more potential

We went today as a family (baby, parents, auntie and grandparents). We had the roast dinners. The beef was rare, and I didn’t mention it to the waitresses, but they were so attentive, they realised and cooked my beef for longer. All the staff were amazingly good, for which we are grateful. The food was tasty and we would recommend it. Thank you to all the staff.

We came back in October 2023 for a small family gathering and had the roast, which was shockingly horrendous and we were refunded. After hearing so many positive comments from friends and family recently, we decided to attempt the roast again… and I am so glad we did! We had the roast ham and roast beef, both meats were cooked to perfection. Roast potatoes and vegetables were plentiful and we loved how they were served in sharing bowls. The Yorkshire puddings were delicious and the broccoli cheese was just divine! On this occasion we were too full for a dessert. 5 stars to the chef! It was delicious and restored our faith in returning!

We were staying weekend in holiday cottage in the grounds which was lovely. Unfortunately low point was Sunday roast in restaurant, having eaten here before we expected a good meal. Firstly the veggie option was below par - literally a piece of sweet potato in puff pastry which didn’t seem to have any seasoning or other ingredients. The meat was served first to others on the table but a long wait before accompanying vegetables arrived which meant several people had cold meat. Other than that the service was satisfactory- just a shame it was let down by issues that could be easily addressed

We were staying at Leeds Castle and this was the breakfast included in the price. We also tried dinner. Good ambiance and superb views over the castle especially at night. Breakfast - avoid the smashed avocado - the poached eggs were solid and the pureed avocado was awful. We send it back. The 'help yourself' cooked breakfast wasn't too bad but, come on, why are you providing stone cold plates??? No plate warmer in sight! Evening meal was overpriced, I couldn't get my fork into the vegetables, unimpressive chicken and trout and we decided to avoid the restaurant for the rest of our stay. A mention for the staff who were pleasant and served us well.

We were with a large family group and everyone complained about something they had been served. The roast potatoes and vegetables were dreadful and extremely salty. At least the head waiter had the good sense to not charge anyone for their main course.Thank you for that. Also very long walk for the elderly from the car park. Must have caught them on a bad night,but certainly won't be visiting again.

My husband and I stayed at the castle as a way of celebrating our wedding anniversary. The stay itself was lovely. Unfortunately, I wish I could say the same about our experience in the Castle View restaurant. I had emailed the restaurant prior to our stay to ask if we could bring a bottle of champagne to the table as it was a present for our anniversary. I did not receive a reply so we didn’t take the bottle with us. When we arrived at our table there was an ice bucket waiting for us. We asked why it was there to be told that it was for our champagne. I explained that we didn’t need it as no one had bothered to reply to my email. We were then told that the restaurant would have charged us a £27 corkage fee! A few pounds I can understand but £27, that’s ridiculous and we most certainly wouldn’t have taken them up on the offer. We then ordered a bottle of wine and our meal (all part of the package). The lady who served us was very polite and friendly and I have no complaints about her at all. The starter arrived but no sign of our wine. That eventually turned up when we had finished the starter. It wasn’t what we had ordered so we had to have a replacement and, there was no wine cooler. This, I had to ask for. The main course arrived which quite frankly was not particularly pleasant. Both my husband and I had ordered the chicken due to a very limited menu. I ate very little of my dinner. We didn’t complain as it had nothing to do with the cooking of the food, it just wasn’t up to the standard one would expect when dining in a castle restaurant and, considering that the charge for the main course were £24 each, we expected better quality. We then decided to pay the extra £8 for a desert as we were still hungry. I ordered the ice cream; £8 for three small scoops of ice cream was pretty harsh. We also had breakfast the next morning as part of our package. The breakfast itself was lovely but the service was very slow. This was extremely worrying as we had to check out by 10.00 which, in my opinion was too early. The staff, although friendly bar one, take far too long to take orders. We also witnessed a bird fouling one of the outside chairs. This was reported to a member of staff who wasn’t in the slightest bit bothered. I pity the poor guest that ended up sitting on the seat! Overall, a wonderful experience at the castle, grounds and accommodation but very disappointing in the restaurant. A shame, as this really lets the castle down and, for this reason, we will not be returning or recommending.

For such a prestigious venue the experience in the restaurant was very badly let down by poor customer service due to lack of training. Apart from an initial friendly welcome it went downhill. Firstly it took ages to get our drinks and it was very difficult to attract anyone's attention and the restaurant was not full. We also asked for a jug of water to be informed there it was a self service. We ordered speciality salads and fries. The waitress did not notate these. The food and drinks were very nice but the 2 sides of fries never arrived. With no waitresses in sight it was not possible to ask for the missing items. Furthermore no one came to ask if we wanted any more drinks, dessert, coffee. When going to pay the cashier apologised that she was unable to handle vouchers and had to seek help from a manager to resolve. There was a small balance to pay and I handed over a note only to be told it was card only! In summary, please train your staff properly: Advise upfront that it's card only on entrance or better still at the ticket entrance Inform that water is freely available on the side Train staff how to handle vouchers Encourage staff to ask customers if their food is OK or they need anything else

Staff were lovely and the covid rules were in place and well adhered to. Food was outstanding and full of flavour. The chef made accommodations for my Gluten allergy which was hugely appreciated. The view of the castle was great too.

We were luckky with the weather and the ability to be able to get a table at the Castle View Restaurant. Sitting in the sun with a wanderful view and a lovely plate of fish and chips, what could be better.

Great village feel. We both had roast turkey meal from their Sunday menu. Amazing food! Turkey was plentiful and so soft and moist. Loads of veg too. Including cauliflower cheese, carrots, parsnips, peas, roast potatoes, stuffing, homemade Yorkshire, gravy boat. Amazing value for money. We didn't book either. Turned up at 3ish. We was looked after at our table by Sue who was very friendly and welcoming. Service charge is not included on the bill and when paying via the card machine, there is no prompt to leave a tip. As the experience was so good, I had to ask how to leave a tip via the car payment machine. Sue then adjusted the payment display to allow me to leave her a tip. I've never had that before. I highly recommend this restaurant from my experience. Thanks Sue and all the staff.
