The Castle Inn - Shropshire

Myself and my partner called at the castle inn on the way home from a weekend away. My partner had the ploughmans salad which he thoroughly enjoyed and there was plenty of variety with ham, cheese, salad, coleslaw, pickles ect. However I had the cheese...and onion pie. It was not a pie. It had no crust on the top only on the bottom which was hard. The filling was so full of potato that it was like eating cheesy mash with onion. It has to be the worst cheese and onion pie I've ever had. Very disappointing. We weren't asked by the staff how our meal was otherwise I would have told them that I wasn't happy.

Visited the Castle Inn late on a Saturday evening after a day shopping two adults and two young teenagers. The place used to have a poor reputation but I've recently heard much better things, and having never visited before thought I should give it a...whirl and see for myself. Staff were immediately welcoming saying hello to us as we walked through the door. The decor is clean fresh; a result of being given a sympathetic makeover but retains a cosy ambience. The interior layout is a little unusual but reflects the exterior architecture. We were shown to our table and the specials board was brought over to us. We'd looked at the menu online which offered pretty standard fayre. However the specials board made a big difference to the range of options. In the event, only one of us ordered from the specials but if you look at the online menu bear in mind that a wide range of other choices are likely to be available. The food that arrived was good and resulted in four clean plates. Additional drinks were delivered to the table, and other requests were dealt with and met, including a request for another spoonful of the vegetable curry!!! We shall certainly go back.

We called in today for Lunch and a pint. We have passed this pub/Hotel many times but never called in it is on the A41 main road.We got a warm welcome and a nice pint followed by a good lunch,the service was very good we...will call again soon!!

We stopped off here on a long journey that included the A41. Don't really know what other reviewers are moaning about, we were given a warm welcome and served really quickly. My husband had mushroom soup as a starter, which my son who is 10...said was the nicest thing he'd ever eaten! For mains we had lasagne, which was really tasty, and a bacon wrapped chicken special in a Stilton sauce, also very tasty. The kids had fish fingers and chicken strips, and they both loved their meals too, in particular the peas and carrots! The portions were generous and we thought very good value for the price we paid. I'd definitely eat here again for excellent, simple, tasty food in a nice environment.

Our room was separate from the restaurant which was good room basic but clean just what we needed view from the room beautiful countryside we had breakfast on our stay and it great and the lady that served us could not do enough for us...so in conclusion a very short but pleasant stay
