Amazing Saturday at The Castle, Tooting, celebrating two 40th birthdays! Jo was a pleasure to deal with over email when we were reserving our areas and made everything really easy. Unlike a lot of places, they didnt want a huge minimum spend for our booking (we just paid a reasonable, refundable deposit) so we were grateful for this and we easily exceeded the sorts of minimum spend that other places would have required (several times over) - which goes to show that being a tad more customer friendly will usually pay off! The food and drinks were good and the spacious pub and huge outside areas were great for mingling in mixed weather. We love the pub and will definitely be back/ will reccomend to others. Thanks a lot!

Never do the quiz there. place is too big the winner will always come from the back where you can easily cheat. you either cheat too or are only playing for a spot prize. price for the size of food you get is ridiculous and the drinks are competing with mayfair for price. will avoid the castle like the plague

What a great pub down in Tooting Broadway. The dairy cow burger hit the spot! was not expecting it to be as good as it was. The interiors is also slightly more upmarket than your average pub - such a good atmosphere, with a great beer garden in the back on the sunnier days.

My wife and I went to The Castle for lunch today. We last visited years ago and were blown away by how much it has changed. Our server, Dan, was awesome: friendly, attentive, and really knows his onions! (And sauces, and cocktails, and Belgian beers...) I had cider-battered haddock with chips and mushy peas, plus tartar and curry sauce, all excellent. Lesley went for the steak, a rump so fat-free we figured it must think it's a sirloin. The peppercorn sauce - literally the best I've had, never mind your Argentine steak houses. Dan obligingly explained the torturous process they go through to produce it, along with mixing us some fantastic cocktails: I can recommend the Godfather in particular. All in all, a brilliant and unexpected afternoon. Many thanks to Dan and the Castle team - we'll be back!

We stopped by early Sunday for lunch, wanting something other than a roast. Service was very friendly and efficient, personal but not too invasive: Lucy was wonderful. We chose a burger, hake with samphire and sausage and mash for the little one. All very good, with the hake being the stand out dish. Young’s food can sometimes be a bit hit and miss yet costly, but today was great. It was getting pretty busy by the time we left at 1.30, so felt relaxed and happy with our quieter family meal in the sunny dining room.

We sat outside, and a waiter named Dan served myself and my wife. We ordered drinks and food. I can not praise Dan's people skills and customer service enough. He was so professional and engaging. He had no idea that I'm involved in the Events and hospitality industry. I would not hesitate to offer him a job. I think the senior management should not overlook this individual as he could teach the other staff a lesson or two. We had a great time at the castle, fantastic customer service from Dan, but the food was not great in truth.

Went for Sunday Roast. Great service and have always loved spending time at the Castle. My only criticism would be your choice of serving "puréed vegetables" with the roast dinner. I get it's a time saver for the chefs/service staff in getting the meals out, but the colour of the purée makes it look like, at the best, baby food, and at its worst baby poo (somewhere in the middle would be curry sauce). No complaints on taste, service or anything else - as usual spot on. You just need to rethink that presentation of the veg. I would add, I'm old enough to realise it wasn't those things and still ate it, and wouldn't have thought of sending it back, just needs a rethink is my point.
