The Castle - Menu

Another lovely stay at the Castle Hotel. Staff so friendly and welcoming...room beautiful, views to die for! Food was fabulous and all in all was a great way to start the Xmas break

We had a lovely time visiting the area.. This is a great hotel with very friendly staff. Its location is in a fantastic spot, with parking facilities around the front and side, a wonderful, unique place to stay.

We had a fantastic lunch at a charming restaurant. The Shropshire fidget sausage and mash, as well as the fish and chips, were both nicely presented and a generous portion. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and highly recommend this place!

Beautiful room, very clean and tastefully furnished with stunning views. All staff were polite, efficient and extremely helpful. Breakfast and Dinner had an extensive appetising menu including high percentage of locally sourced food. We were very pleased with the quality of the food and how it was served. A most enjoyable stay.

We dined at this restaurant for two evenings during our stay in the area. We enjoyed the appetizers, but I was not impressed with the burger as I felt the quality of the meat could have been better considering the price. While it is not the most affordable option, I would still consider returning. Additionally, they offer gluten-free options.

Arrived for a late lunch and to try the acclaimed local beer XXX (Three Tuns Brewery). Friendly staff served up a quality meal for us both (Halloumi orzo bake with olive salad and Halloumi burger). Our lunch was tasty if a tad expensive for a lunch time meal. However, the local beer was kept in really good order and went down extremely well. The attached gardens are lovely for that al fresco and quiet drink experience, as we returned for refreshment later in the week. A quality venue with good food and well kept beer.

We were staying in Bishop's Castle for our Golden Wedding celebration and had booked lunch at the Castle for a multi generational group of family and old friends. I had booked lunch outside in their stunning garden overlooking the Shropshire Hills but literally half an hour before lunch the heavens opened. The hotel staff were superb, bringing decorations inside and creating a wonderfully arranged table for us in their wood panelled restaurant. The food, which we pre ordered was excellent, beautifully presented and everyone got what they expected. We even had champagne from the local Kerry Vale vineyard. After lunch, the sun came out and we had our coffee and tea out in the garden a perfect...

The restaurant had a nice atmosphere with clean tables. The food was good overall, but there were a few things that could have been better. The hummus came with focaccia, which was hard and there wasn't much of it. It would have been better with flatbreads or pita. The texture of the hummus was also too smooth for my liking. The bouillabaisse was tasty, but I had requested no mussels if possible. The waitress said the chef could pick them out, but most of what I received was mussels with very little fish. The rest of the meal was enjoyable and the staff were polite and professional. The restaurant was dog-friendly and they even provided biscuits for them. However, our three courses were rush...

We ate dinner two nights and breakfast two mornings as we were staying at the hotel. The food has gone down market and down hill significantly since we visited a few years ago. No more fillet stakes. Most of the food appears to be out of the freezer and probably microwaved, not a lot of real cooking going on apart from heating up meat and frying fish. Our first night starters were a prawn cocktail which was frozen prawns and insipid sauce with a limp lettuce. Probably the worst version of this cliché I've ever eaten. The tempura king prawns were small frozen prawns with an insipid batter that has nothing to do with tempura. Pate was OK but bought in. Beef stroganoff was microwaved and bizarr...
