What a lovely place. The hotel was spotless. Beautiful room. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was amazing We only had breakfast but it was plentyful and very tasty. Comfortable bed. And the toiletries were amazing. I hope to go back there one day. It was a truly lovely stay.

Very cheap drinks, high quality drinks.

This could be a fantastic bar but when u leave this bar u can almost know your going to get a homeless person ask u for spare change from factory Row just down side of pub. The smokers are a bit of a problem for people trying to get past them into the town during the day and the owner of the pub seems friendly enough. This is a welcoming bar just a few thing let it down to be fair.

Always a good crowd. Cracking staff.

Good old proper pub. Not many of these left in torquay. Especially up the top of torquay

Absolutely fantastic new manager is amazing and very welcoming will definitely return and recomend

Great surviving pub in part of Torquay that used to be buzzing. Full of genuine people who make you feel welcome even if you are not local. Very good prices compared to places nearer the harbour. Pool, jukebox, cheap booze and nice people, what's not to like?!

Brilliant time in the castle cheap drinks Brill bar staff thanks to Ryan and Johnny for a great time xxxxxx

Town centre pub used by local clientele. Too many smokers in the doorway for my liking. Beer was ok.

Great cheap drinks Leve before 6 pm good music

Not a good first impression. Music banging at 4pm. Choice of ales poor. Toilets ...well dirty, loose pans and floor covering blown. You've got to be desperate to visit either.

A basic pub nothing special apart from the decent prices

Quite disappointing on my way into town on a Thursday night at roughly quarter past 10 was told they were shutting which is beyond belief in a holiday resort

Man what a dump. Just like all Torquay what a hole.

A bit of a dive, cheap drinks equals cheap people and louts

One of my favourite pubs in torquay. A bangin' jukebox, great staff and fun punters. Could be so much better though. Needs a push. A bit tired.

It's a good pub for pub sake cheap booze interesting characters and a central local what more can you ask for

Haha. Well reminds me of pubs back home meet all the locals. Staff are great drinks are cheap. Good for a few before heading out. Go check it out 👍🍻🎶💕🌈

Sadie is a great barmaid full of joy and manners, always smiling

This pub is hit and miss for me. On one hand it's a nice little old pub that has nice local staff and a great selection of alcohol however the location really let's it down. Its no fault of the pub but its right next to torquay drug central. It pains me to say it but through no fault of the pub I can't advise many to visit

Great pub and the staff are very polite also great atmosphere in pub with the locals

Not to go if ur on holiday as a very local pp only

The castle is 1 of them... It iz wot it iz X

Great pub and really cheap.What more do you want 😁👍👌.

Star wars bar ...want a laugh try for sure .... Fcukin hilarious The Mos Eisley cantina

Our 1st visit, will be back next year

Never eat there again. Went to the toilet there were people selling drugs dirty place rude people and loads off young people bullying never again

Chappy beer place need a good clean and fresh decoration

Been in here a few times, when coming over to Torquay, cheap beer, good service, tables could do with a wipe over,

We visit this pub every time we come to Torquay and have seen it change over the years. Always a warm welcome. It’s a proper pub with proper people in it. The prices are exceptionally good and service is quick. Wouldn’t say it’s a family pub but we love it. A+

Good beer....typical local pub.

First time in a pub in 18 months for me, a bit wobbly but the staff were both friendly and helpful, the cleaning regime was reassuring. We're on holiday and will return to this pub. Thank you. X

A mixed bag beer are cheap but people can be a bit loud and not too friendly

Great little local with good customer service friendly and welcoming barstaff

Popped in for drinks on a few occasions. Definitely a locals pub with a few characters and easy to have a friendly chat Cheap drinks and a wide selection available Double house spirits and mixer £2.50

Very friendly local pub serving good beers at very reasonable price

When people respect and behave its really good and the staff are A1 lol xxxT

Not somewhere l'd want to go again. It's good having cheap drinks but at 5.30 on a Wednesday evening the juke box was on full volume and two elderly drunk men just inside the door using foul language, and l'm no prude but wouldn't like to bring my wife in.

Mold in the shower and no elevator, the parking was atrocious. That being said, the staff were excellent and the food great. And when I showed pictures of the shower they were horrified.

It's not for everyone but you'd be surprised

This place as had its fair share of trouble, but all in all its a nice place. Good music in the evening and cheap meals.

It's a oki pub if you like a side but it's cheap with is oki

Excellent place interesting company

Friendly atmustfear cheep drinks

£2.50 for all drinks and 50p for pool, can't go wrong. If you're more interested in how much your point costs over the decor and music then this is the place for you. If you're looking for a nice contemporary wine bar with a a great selection of wines then I'd stay away.

Welcoming and not pricey - How do they do it

I had to visit here to relive the days of my youth when I came back to Torquay. The drinks are very cheap at £2.50. Staff are friendly. Howeveŕ, the poor old place is looking a little dog eared.

Definitely a locals pub. Doesn't show Sky Sports though it advertises that it does. All drinks £2.50 which if that is your thing is great

Friendly staff, very good prices.

The castle was a friendly quaint pub full of very tiny men eager to please .... Jokes was a great boozer every1 very friendly

Walked in and didn’t stay long, atmosphere was unfriendly, locals aggressive and made to feel unwelcome. Didn’t stay long enough to sample the food menu. Won’t be returning.

Băutură ieftina oameni prietenosi 😂😂😀

Friendly staff, good food. Don't know where else you could get a Sunday roast for £2.50!!

Friendly staff and good food. Don't know where else you can get a Sunday roast for £2.50!! Definitely worth trying.

Very good. Mark & Cathy have now left, won't be the same any more. New people have taken over now.

Cheap pints but needs to be kept cleaner tables sticky and full of empty glasses

SOUND pub, nice people, £ 2.50 any meal, any pint. KRO!

This place is so cheap and so good! Everyone’s so friendly and u don’t feel out of place here. And £2.50 a pint can’t complain. Just been told it’s opening till 1 on a Friday too! Even better

This bar has been smartened up nicely by the new owners, cheap beer and food but pretty good quality - £2.50 for everything can't be bad includes food !

If your looking for value for money this is the place to go. Nice friendly staff, good food and friendly atmosphere.

THEY HAD THE BEER ON AT £2.50 A PINT AND ALL THE MEALS FOR THE SAME £2.50 HAD THE FISH AND CHIPS WITH PEAS IT WAS REALLY GOOD.

Nice and cheap and food was a good standard.

... however, we found (on a Monday, early evening) one very drunk sobbing man, three very drunk geriatric females offering him 'comfort', and children ignored by boozing parents. Not a clientele that 99% of us would want to spend a evening with I'm afraid.

Not good experience uncooked chips pink in the sausages reasonable price but that's why I guess

Any meal or drink a fiver, cheapest around.

Lovely Xmas dinner cheap as chips £2.50 all meals&all drinks same price,happy cheerful place

This pub is really picking up. Great management, chef and staff. They are working hard to rid the bar of the few idiots who think they can drink in the bar then cause trouble.

Called in the pub for a. Afternoon drink . All drinks were £2,50 whatever drink you had. There is als very cheap food served. This is an old fashioned pub,which also had sky sports . Not a large pub but friendly staff and locals. Worth calling in, when you reach the end of the shops.

Very friendly and excellent service...

The Sunday Carvery lunch is cheap , they do loads of veg , all hot , one of the meats was Mutton , very unusually , I choose the mutton , absolutely fantastic , the Carvery is fantastic value for money , This place is never busy , we always get a table , why can’t we find a place like this near where we live

You just have to try the carvery. No words can explain how amazing it is. Sunday lunch at its very best. 5 stars all the way

Love the pub and people. Its great.

Good prices, friendly staff and cool medieval theme. Went there to watch a world cup match which they showed on a big tv.

Great carvery, lovely staff and a family friendly pub, Marc and Kath always get rid off any unwelcomed company...

Dropped in for a bit to eat ,attending model show across the road. Great food and service

Great pub friendly staff amazing carvery

Great Sunday roast and child friendly

Excellent carvery and great staff highly recommend

Went into pub for convenience as had an appt across the road so thought I would wait it out At The Castle pub until then. Wasn't that impressed, found the pub to be cold don't know whether heating was on or not. Bought a bottle of Brothers cider for an extortionate £4. 60 don't even know if was true price as the guy put manually in till. Didn't find staff that friendly or helpful. Also seating hard and uncomfortable, and abysmal 60's and 70's music on speakers. Wouldn't bother with the place, bit run down!.

We came here on our holiday last year and it was amazing, yet a couple of days ago when we visited again it was the most disappointing meal of our holiday...won't be visiting again 👎

Good staff good food great place

Called in for break from walking. Made welcome by the host. Given information about the pub. Coffee caused no problem, nor did the choice of real ales. Thoroughly enjoyed our break. Interesting decor and hidden away servery

This pub as a very freindly feeling Kath and Mark realy made my wife and me feel that we had drank in there for years it was a realy good feeling. The food is as good if not better then any pub in Torqauy. Mick and Denise Portsmouth.

We especially looked for this place as it had been the "Local" of my wife over 45 years ago and were delighted to find it still exits in original location and name. Initially just went in for a pint but, as we sat and listened to the particularly good music playlist, we decided to just have our lunch here too. We were certainly pleased we did as it was a fine example of good value pub grub. Although not busy at the time, we were also by impressed the the friendly atmosphere in general and the unusual decor. You have to say that it is quite a compliment to the place to have survived so long with so little change. Well recommended.

This is by far the best pub in the bay friendly family environment and the food is great love this place...

even though we were outsiders we were made to feel very welcome. only had drinks which were very cheap compared to our local. we didnt eat as we had meals at hotel. very nice atmosphere,service and carvery smelt lovely.excellent background music will return hopefully for karaoke night. steve and rita

Beautiful meal, very tasty, brilliant value in a warm and friendly environment. Couldn't ask for more from a local family business.

We had Christmas dinner and I have to say. It was excellent. Family food. Hard work put in by the landlady, her husband and father in law. 😇😁

We just popped in in the off chance for a Sunday carvery. We weren't sure about it as it looks a bit gloomy from the outside. However once inside we were really very pleasantly surprised. The carvery is less than £6 per person and therefore we weren't expecting too much. So here is the surprise.... The meats were very well cooked. The beef was really full of flavour, the gammon too was absolutely lovely. The selection of veg was really good too, red cabbage, brussels, and parsnips. Actually much better than venues that charge considerably more. Wash this down with great friendly service and you've got yourself a winner. So don't be put off by the outside. You won't be disappointed.

Nice local pub where the staff are friendly. The meal is well priced and the food is cooked good and tastes great.

If you enjoy a friendly pint with your local heroin addicts, crack on !!

This was a very freindly clean pub food was fantastic staff very friendly will be visiting again,suitable for all ages nothing wasto much trouble great atmosphere

Called in here late at night , we were given a very warm welcome by the owner, and service with a smile.......we then returned the following afternoon, to have some home cooked food which was delicious , cant fault it , would recommend you call in and have the carvery on a sunday , seemed very popular and reasonably priced , if we pass that way again I will definitely be calling in !!

Lovely friendly pub. Made to feel like family. Will be coming back.
