The Castle Club in Angus

We met our daughters here for lunch for the first time. Didn’t realise it was here. It’s very nice and reminiscent of an old pub? A snooker place is here too. The staff were very pleasant and we were served promptly. The food we ordered was panini and salad and chicken burger. The food was nice. Could have done with a little more salad on the plate though. Coleslaw is very creamy if you like that sort of thing. We were under £20 a head and the was with 2 wines so not too bad. Will have to go back later at night to see what the menu is like but worth a visit

Brilliant high tea, sirloin steaks with trimmings, toast, tea, scones, cakes & a large glass of wine each only £56, 👍🥂

Overpriced and poor quality. We had been here before but it was some time ago. Went in for some lunch and were really disappointed. The quality and quantity on our plates was poor and it was so expensive so really poor value for money. There were three of us, we had two panini’s, a baked potato, a plate of soup and three cans of diet irn bru. Our bill was £45!!! The soup tasted of carnation milk or something strange. The panini’s were small and not very filling. The tuna and cheese panini was £10.25!! If it had been lovely we wouldn’t have minded but it certainly wasn’t. Wouldn’t hurry back and certainly wouldn’t recommend it.

We had a high tea here whilst staying at a nearby caravan park. We were really impressed by the friendliness and efficiency of the staff. They were really welcoming and pleased to see us. The food was very tasty, well-presented and there was plenty of it. It was so nice to have an old fashioned high tea with toast and cakes. When we are back in the area, we’ll definitely return.

A must try for all food, staff and surroundings just great, we have had lunch here as well as high tea and just can't fault it best place to eat in Forfar

As it was my birthday, we decided to go to the Castle Club Forfar for lunch. We have been before and know you get a warm welcome and the quality of the food is always excellent. Once we had sat down, we were given the menus and asked what we would like to drink. I had a coke, as I was driving and my wife had a glass of white wine. As a starter we both had Salmon and Prawn Cocktail. It was delicious. For the next course I had the Small Grill and my wife had Chicken Breast stuffed with Oatmeal with a Red Wine and Mushroom Sauce. Both were accompanied by boiled potatoes. Both meals were excellent and very nicely presented. We didn't have any sweets, but did have a coffee. As usual the staff were very pleasant and polite and there was no hurry to leave the premises. We will certainly return.

This was our first visit to Forfar, and our first visit to this cosy restaurant. We had a delicious high tea at a very reasonable price. The staff could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Food was delicious and mostly homemade. We will definitely be visiting again.

We visited for lunch beautiful tasty homemade steak pie and all trimmings, my friend had homemade chicken noodle soup and cheese and ham toastie with coffee to follow Absolutely delicious Great service and atmosphere, we will return.

On arrival at The Castle Club we were met by a member of staff who showed us to our table which had been pre-booked. He immediately asked us if we would like drinks and took the order which was served very promptly. He then gave us the menu and advised us of the day's specials. We were given ample time to peruse the menu and make our choices. We chose the following- Steak Pie with Chips, Mini Grill with Roast Potatoes, Silverside with Chips and 2 Chicken Specials with Roast Potatoes. All were delicious as shown by all the plates being empty when the waiter came to clear the table. 2 of us had sweets- 1 an Apple Sponge with Custard, Cream & Ice Cream and 1 Banana Fritters with Hot Syrup and Ice Cream. We all then had coffee accompanied by shortbread rounds. Everything was excellent and as one of our party used to own and run a restaurant, he said he couldn't have had better value anywhere else. He has been many times before, but two of our party hadn't been before and they were very impressed. We will all certainly return.

Our friends and us decided to meet at the Castle Club for lunch. We had reserved a table and were greeted on arrival and shown to our table by a very friendly member of staff. We were given the menus and were told what the day's specials were. It was then very difficult to decide what to have. We were given ample time to chose and finally decided on Small Grill for the men and the 2 ladies chose the Silverside all accompanied by Chips or Roast Potatoes. The meals were served quickly, well presented and excellent quality. We followed our main course by having sweets, Ice Cream, Ice Cream & Pineapple, Apple Crumble & Custard and a Banana Pavlova with Toffee Sauce. Again all were excellent. After these we had coffees. We'll certainly be back and would recommend the Castle Club to our friends.

Enjoyed a nice lunch with work colleagues Food enjoyable Staff good The only negative thing I would say , is that the stairs are very steep So if you have any mobility issues not the place for a visit

Our local Kia dealer is in Forfar so when we need to have the car serviced we have to travel from Dundee. The beauty of this is we get to try different places to eat while we wait for our car. This time we decided on The Castle Club which is a snooker club and a restaurant. As you walk through the front door there’s stairs leading you to the first floor. At The top of the stairs on the landing there are a few different doors. One leads to the snooker room, the toilets and the restaurant. The restaurant is decorated lovely and has a nice feel on walking in. As soon as we walked through the door the staff were on hand showing us to a table. There’s lots of room between tables so you don’t feel like you are sat on top of someone. Within a minute we had menus and a drinks order taken. We shared the smoked salmon starter which was on the table within minutes with two small plates. It was a delicious starter washed down with a lovely glass of Pinot. For the main course I had the battered fish with chips, carrots, side salad and a wonderful braised red cabbage. The fish was lovely and thick with a light batter, 2 large pieces. My husband had the seafood lasagna which was full of salmon, prawns and white fish in a lovely subtle white sauce. His came with the carrots, side salad, braised red cabbage and a bowl of chips also. The food was amazing, really tasty and looked great on the plate. The staff were really good, nothing was too much trouble. Everything was served with a smile. I will definitely be going back next year for the steak pie as it was recommended by someone in the Kia garage. I would highly recommend trying this restaurant. I know you won’t be disappointed.

Dropped in on way to watch football at Station Park - within easy walking distance. The two waitresses provided first class service, and the food was fabulous and reasonably priced.

Excellent service and great choices we all enjoyed our meals really great value and will definitely be returning

We both had the specials I had seafood lasagne and he had cajan chicken it was absolutely delicious, great friendly service and well worth a visit

Return visit to the superb, first-floor restaurant with the rather discreet front entrance with coach lamps outside. Menu has a varied main course from Steaks, fish, salads and daily specials. Plenty of tea - and toast - with homebakes and raspberry jam and butter provided. Warm scones a nice touch. Warm, comfortable and peaceful you'll forget the world outside and enjoy the friendly service and delicious fare. Very good value and service with a smile. Book first. Highly recommended.

Just been for high tea. Sirloin steak for husband Haddock morney for me. Followed by tea and cakes and scones, never disappoints. Brilliant.

Hospitality outstanding! Food Outstanding. The Castle Club absolutely Fantastic place to eat. Prices are very reasonable. Many Thanks for you hospitality. Cheryl and David

Last night of our family holiday and came across this place. Food was great, staff and service was excellent nothing to much trouble for them. Would definitely recommend!!!

Recommended by a friend and we were not disappointed. Old world charm along with friendly staff. Food was excellent as were prices.

I would just like to thank the Castle Club staff for lovely service, terrific food, high tea. In thirty odd years coming here it is by far my favourite restaurant. Keep up the good work and would thoroughly recommend it as I have always done. The prices are reasonable and food, cakes homemade.

Recenty visited the castle club with my family for lunch. The welcome was extremely warm and they accomodated an extra guest. One of out party was coeliac and I was so impressed with the choices they gave her and there willingness to adapt the meals(...

Fantastic, visited with friends and sister.. Two of us had the haddock mornay, which was to die for. Piping hot served with croquettes peas and a small salad garnish. One had the salad the other chicken goujons all very much enjoyed. Tea and coffee served...

We hadn`t booked for anywhere in Forfar on arrival but a local told us to try this place. Boy, we weren`t disappointed. The staff were very polite and attentive. We both had the pork with black pudding and pink peppercorn sauce. It was delicious and...

Good friendly service , lovely atmosphere and we had an excellent meal . We visited for lunch 12-2 , their board stated they also serve afternoon tea then later Evening meals. U

Last minute plan to go to castle club and very pleased did so. Very welcoming, pleasant dining room feels quite traditional. Really nice food and surprising traditional cakes, scones etc at the end all part of price! Would visit again if in the area.

We had the privilege to be back after a long time in the dining area of The Castle Club in Forfar last night.. It was as if the lockdown had never happened despite the usual post Covid arrangements. Every single thing was up to scratch...

My husband and I had a delicious meal here. Highly recommend! Spotless restaurant with friendly staff.

Took my parents here for dinner. All meals were delicious. Food was hot, freshly made and very tasty! Excellent service and one of the best meals we’ve had for a long time. Would definitely recommend here for a meal

Perfect meal, absolutely delicious. We had Pork and Black Pudding was very tasty and well presented. Fast friendly service and staff. Excellent place to go for food, highly recommended to anyone.

We popped into The Castle Club for a quick lunch in December and we were not disappointed! Lovely staff and amazing food. We would definitely return.

Went to the castle club for lunch a few weeks ago. Fast friendly service and staff. Tables were well spaced out and plenty of room. Fish was delicious and very well presented. Beef was very tender and tasty. Very generous portions. Excellent place to go...

We visited this establishment for the first time and the high tea was the best we have ever experienced . Our rump steaks were cooked to perfection by the talented chef , Rasel and followed with exquisite home baking , including beautiful meringues , scones...

Never disappointed at the Castle Club traditional family restaurant, food is always lovely, fresh & hot! Service is great also! Chicken enchiladas all the way for me!

This is a popular local restaurant which offers basic, unpretentious, (dare i say) old fashioned meals at inexpensive prices. I would have liked to have given a higher rating but i wasn’t entirely happy with my meal. My “bruschetta” starter can probably be better described...

Fairly basic fare, which harks back to the 80s. Veggie option is a £14.99 cheese salad, with chips or ‘potatoes’, and very poor to say the least. Won’t be back as far better in the town

Has to be one of the best places to eat around. My wife n i dont need a menu as we have chicken enchiladas everytime they are amazing!!

This restaurant has been in Forfar for years & is consistently probably the best. There’s nothing overly fancy or indeed expensive, but what you get is great value for money. Food is consistently good as is the friendly service & atmosphere. If you fancy a night off cooking or of course a little treat, this is the place to go....you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommended.

We had been recommended The Castle Club for good wholesome food, so decided to try it. After parking the car in the nearby car park, we arrived at the restaurant. We reached the dining room on the first floor and were made most welcome by the staff who showed us to a table for 2. We were given the menus & asked if we required any drinks to accompany the meal. There was a choice of either a light snack menu, or the main menu. It was very difficult to select as there is a huge choice of traditional food. We both eventually decided on Prawn & Salmon with salad, brown bread & marie rose sauce. To follow I had the Seafood Lasagne, accompanied by vegetables & chips. My wife chose the hot Silverside with a whisky pepper sauce, accompanied by vegetables and roast potatoes. Everything was excellent and served very promptly. For a dessert we chose to share a Mixed Berry Pavlova with Ice cream & cream. Again, no complaints. Everything was presented very nicely and served by pleasant staff who seemed to be enjoying their work. It became very busy around 1 o'clock, so it would be advisable to book before going. We will certainly be returning, and will definitely recommend this restaurant to our friends.

Went to Castle Club for birthday meal. Staff were excellent providing pleasant and enjoyable atmoshere. Menu choices were very good and the food which was served quickly when arrived did not disappoint. We would recommend if you want and nice meal with pleasant surroundings the Castle Club should be on your list.

Found it strange offering toast at their high tea in the afternoon, no starters, but their fish and chips was the best I have ever had.Downside if disabled and cannot walk, would not be able to go as quite a few stairs to climb as this tea room is on the first floor

great atmosphere and good food, always a hit with visitors to Forfar, recommend to book at weekends as it is very popular

Our office chose the Castle Club because a few of us had had good meals there recently. We were not disappointed. No pre ordering for a start with a large group. Good choice on the festive menu and good food. Staff were excellent. Will definitely be back soon.

We agreed to meet some friends at the Castle club. The staff were friendly and efficient and had no issues with us chatting away after the meal either. We were not rushed , like some places, to vacate the table for others. The meal was faultless well presented, tasty and generous. A potential issue for some might be the steep stairs to access the restaurant for disabled or some elderly visitors. I was not aware of a lift or alternative entrance method.

Went to the Castle Club for High Tea and was shocked at all of the food we received. Didn't realize that high tea included a plate with many desserts, lots of food and of course tea. I'm a big eater and had to leave at least 40% of the food behind. It was all tasty and certainly would go back again. Also the "club" had a pool room on the same floor as the restaurant that was part of it.

Nicely laid out dining room. Food was excellent and service was brilliant. Would recommend Castle Club to anyone

This was my first time at the Castle Club for a couple of years. We went for a family meal and have to say that everybody had a good time. Plenty of choice, good food, good portions and good service. All in all worth the visit.

Attention il y a des escaliers pour accéder au restaurant

We came here for 'high tea' on a Sunday afternoon. This was not something I'd heard of before, but to the uninitiated, involves a main course, followed by tea, coffee, scones and a huge selection of cakes and treats. I had an excellent seafood lasagne, which was probably one of the tastiest meals I've had this year. My husband had the chicken and haggis dish, and other family members had the chicken enchiladas, breaded fish and battered fish; all were delicious. The scones and cakes were so plentiful, we could not do them justice. Just as we were leaving, one of the waitresses offered to package up what was left, which we took her up on. What a great service! I highly recommend this place for a family meal.

WOW family visit and what a pleasant surprise. We had the best meal, best service and fab surrounds. Could not have ended our 7 week trip in a more perfect surround. Highly recommended for the best meal. Please see photo.

Brought back memories for me as I knew it as the FA club, many moons ago. We had a lovely meal, would recommend the homemade steak pie. Nice atmosphere and the service was great.

Not much of a street frontage for the Castle Club. You could easily miss it if ypu were just looking for somewhere to eat. After a daunting climb up the stairs, the restaurant looks a bit dated, but quirky. The food was very very tasty and freshly prepared with descent sized portions served by polite and very friendly staff. I feel that it is a wee tad expensive for some dishes eg. £14.50 for Scampi and Chips or a Salad, but the Club is very popular and booking is a must. Lookout for the two Wall lanterns above the green ornate doorframe in Castle Street and enjoy. Recommended.

Ma fiancée m'y a invité pour mon anniversaire. L'accueil fut sympathique et les serveurs ont été très patients avec nous lorsque nous ne comprenions pas bien ce qu'ils tentaient de nous expliquer.

Unfamiliar with Forfar, but in need of lunch, we decided to try the Castle Club. Despite the rather daunting appearance of a steep staircase, and neither of us being sure-footed, it was the best decision we could have made. We were welcomed with a smile, our light lunch was delicious, the restaurant was clean, as were the toilets.

My mom and I were staying outside of Forfar, so we asked our taxi driver to drop us off at a restaurant that would serve these two Americans some delicious Scottish food. We really enjoyed the atmosphere as soon as we entered. My mom and I tried the black pudding, and it was good. We also enjoyed our fish and meat pie meals. We were a bit confused about who our waitress was because we seemed to have three of them, but we won't complain about the service! We'd recommend this place.

Went for High Tea, food and staff excellent. Meal choice was very good, plentiful supplies of tea and toast, the staff were very attentive regularly checking if we were Ok.

We have visited the Club many times over the years for lunches, high teas and evening meals and have never been disappointed.

What can I say about latest meal. As usual everything top notch. Swift service. Great food. Great banter with staff. Been regulars for years and never a bad meal yet. Best in Forfar by a mile which probably xplain why always busy.keep up the good work.

The castle club is a well known place for food locally. Usually busy with consistent good food makes this a nice place to come with friends and family

Having read the reviews I thought we would give the Castle Club a try.From the outside we didn't think it was overly inviting and if a friend hadn't also said to try it we might not have.

I was in Scotland for 10 days and we ate here twice. The black pudding is to die for and you simply can’t go passed the beef pie. Staff are friendly and attentive together with the warm atmosphere it truely is a Gem

Came here for my sons bday meal on Sunday and it was great find. I do not write reviews often but the costumer service we received was fantastic. Great staff great food and will be back.

Great place. Stopped in for food and ordered high teas. Great choice of meals - freshly made and served with toast and then cakes and scones afterwards. Decor was traditional with wooden beams and toilets spotless. Service was amazing. Will definitely be back!

Great place, food, service have visited several times always excellent. Good pricing and good staff, would recommend.

Visited on Friday night. Told nothing available. Many vacant tables. Owner not at all friendly. Bit of an acient dump.

It may have an old world feel to it, but a warm welcome is always given by the helpful team of staff. Have eaten here numerous times over the years enjoying both evening meals and high teas. The steaks are always cooked to perfection, but have also enjoyed steak pies and breaded haddock from the varied menu. The high teas are always followed by a cake stand, including scones, meringues and other cakes.

Great food. The best value is the high tea...never disappoints. Traditional to world eating. Great service and very friendly staff. All in all a well run place..

I have been eating at the Castle Club for nearly 30 years now and through all that time I have never once had a bad meal or bad service. A great family run business who are friendly and welcoming not only just for adults but also children too. They know how to make there customers feel welcome. All food freshly made. I saw a great review from a food critic of Scottish newspapers The Dailly Record who really recommended and commended their Hgh Tea's. The steak pie is so good. Booking in advance is very much advisable. Good prices too.

Visited the Castle Club for a pre Xmas lunch with 5 family members. The menu was varied and we all chose different meals, including one vegan. Can honestly say we all enjoyed our meals which were served piping hot. Some of us had dessert or coffee and staff were obliging in managing to provide vegan icecream with fruit. Service was quick, efficient and attentive.

We came for lunch. Not a very exciting place, but decent food. Good service. It could do with a renovation!

Strangest meal I have had. I ordered tortillas which were great but served with rice, fries and toast. Also on the table were cakes and scones. No wonder Scotland has a problem with obesity. Cut out the carbs guys. One of the staff was a bit overly attentive, asking if we needed things that were already on the table.

Not suitable for those with mobility problems. Average pub lunch food, with friendly staff, & reasonable prices.

Enjoyed a business lunch here with colleagues. Busy little place, I’d walked past often and didn’t even know it was here. Food was good, decent selection and all good value. Service was good, younger girl in particular was very attentive. Would definitely return.

Was taken here as a surprise on my birthday. It was as good as always. Good food. Had the steak pie, highly recommend. Also folks had fish and chicken. All was great. Never finish all the cakes. Just too many. Lol.

Wanted somewhere to eat. Asked the locals whilst in the Asda queue and The castle club was recommended You wouldn't find it without local knowledge!!

Myself, wife and sister-in-law, all three together were having high tea in Forfar's favourite restaurant with four billiard tables (in a separeate room) attached, the wonderfully thought-of Castle Club ... a family-run operation noticeably run with their customers' comfort and needs at the heart of their business ethos. You could have chosen any of the offerings on their menu and I am certain you would not have been disappointed ... each of the many choices promising good fresh foods, excellent standard of cooking, and cakes with ample toast and tea, in a very congenial atmosphere. We had Haddock Mornay, Roast Silverside and a Mixed Grill, each with full trimmings, sauces and a choice of potatoes. Then along came a beautiful array of scones, cakes and tea or coffee to make certain everyone went home sated and happy. And, as always, we did ... and will again.

Good food and service is always quick on a lunch break. Always the same menu so you know your favourites. Waitresses are always pleasant.

Two of us had a high tea here on a Sunday evening when there isn’t a lot of choice about FORFAR. We had the breaded haddock which was excellent. The staff were prompt and courteous and made sure everything was ok. Entry to the restaurant is by a stairwell so I am unsure how a disabled person might gain access. The prices were very reasonable.

Ottime pietanze, servizio ottimo e locale molto accogliente. Siamo arrivati alle 20:30 ed era forse l’unico ristorante scozzese aperto. Dolci squisiti e personale molt cortese.

I went to the Castle club with my family for a high tea, wee treat as school holidays, the food was amazing and so was the service, if your looking for some where that is absolutely family orientated I highly recommend the castle club, it really was great.

We were staying in Forfar for a week at the caravan site and tried The Castle Club for our first meal. We were greeted by friendly staff in nice surroundings. The menu is not vast but there are specials. The food was of excellent quality- we mostly had the fish dishes. While we there several people had come in for afternoon tea which looked amazing. The only negative is that there is no real ale. We came back twice during the week so that says it all.

Very nice food, served by a very nice waitress. I had the fish and chips which were lovely and I was told the enchiladas were delicious. A wee bit on the expensive side and the decor is a bit dated, but would definitely go back and recommend.

Wir waren gestern Abend auf der Durchreise und haben um 9:30PM noch was zu Essen gesucht, wir wurden durch eine frische Küche in einem Castle ähnlichem Ambiente, sehr positiv überrascht! Klasse Küche!

We have eaten a couple of high teas at the castle club over the years and have always found the staff obliging and the food tasty

Been several times for high tea and always quality food and cakes - Nothing to much trouble for the friendly staff

What a great place. Local restaurant with the most fantastic atmosphere. The waitress was very smiling and politely.

Always get a warm welcome and very good food at the Castle Club. Very good high teas and steaks are amazing.

Visited restaurant prior to Christmas to celebrate daughters birthday. Very good choice of food. Food well cooked and portions generous. Recommend booking. Although not a problem for us, the restaurant is not really suitable for disabled persons as on 1st floor up a fairly long stair.

Climb up the stairs and the small door on the right to enter the snooker hall. Lots of tables, superbly kept for a reasonable price per hour. And a hole in the wall to order drinks before and during a game.

Food very good as always and always fast service. Would recommend highly to anyone popping in for a lunch or dinner and lots of choice.

Popped in to the Castle Club on the off chance of a meal out. Very busy but we were lucky to get a table. Food was excellent. Waitress staff were excellent. - attentive, friendly and efficient. Overall, excellent value for money.

I would highly recommend, dining at the castle club, a wee bit to wait for food, but well worth it (it was very busy), glad we booked (6). Everybody enjoyed what they were served. Cost wise, good value for money and good size portions...we will be back again. Well done from waitress staff to kitchen staff.

Have been before always really enjoyed it tonight was no exception good home cooked food with warm surroundings and really friendly staff would highly recommend this place. Oh a d not overly priced

Called in to the Castle Club for a pre-booked High Tea recently as had been advised it is still a very busy place! Not been for quite a while but décor etc is pretty much the same as it always has been - 'olde worlde' but very clean and tidy, and the toilets modern and clean.

Had a superb meal with friends, excellent service great food and company. The staff are very friendly and make you welcome as soon as you walk in. Definitely recommend the Castle Club try the sizzling steak !

First time at the Castle club for years as have been away from the area. We booked for a High tea and was shown to a table in the back room.The waitress took our order promptly and did not have to wait long.I ordered rump steak which came on a sizzling platter.I thought the steak had a strange taste (maybe the oil) but I still ate it.I was amazed at the amount of greasy/oily onions was served with the steak,never ever had as much before it spoiled the dish.Personally I would prefer a few battered rings. The tea and hot scones were tasty though.I would not hurry back as a bit disappointed with the value.

Stopped here for lunch on arriving in Forfar for weekend (family of 7). We was quickly shown to a table with a most warm welcome. Menu was extensive so spoilt for choice. All family members thoroughly enjoyed their lunch choices evident by clear plates! Most certainty highly recommend.

Checked Trip Advisor and found this to be number 1. We were not disappointed. The High Tea was fabulous. We both had the Haddock in batter with chips and the fish was superb. Coupled with the toast and any amount of tea, it was great. Then they bring you scones, butter and jam and cakes. Absolutely stuffed when finished. The service was really good. Very friendly and attentive.

Had a marvellous high tea here yesterday, early evening. My wife chose the haddock mornay dish which looked beautiful on the plate and she assured me was every bit as good as it looked. Ditto ... my own choice of chicken chasseur, which I have never had before, but which was cooked to perfection, presented in style and fulfilled the promise. The Castle Club was packed and yet the servers seemed unharrassed and handled their task well. A lot of smiling faces around us as we ate. Another triumph. Five star rating well deserved.

Amazing home cooked food. Chicken enchiladas are by far the best thing I’ve ever had there. Very friendly and reasonable...
