The Castle Inn recently introduced a substantial plant-based menu after members of the family that own the restaurant became Vegan. The menu includes numerous animal-free options and the result is a huge success and a fantastic place for Vegans.
We had Cheesey Garlic Bread as a starter which was gorgeous. Perfectly melted dairy-free cheese on soft thick bread.
As a main three of us had the pulled-pork style Barbecue Jackfruit Wrap with chips and Vegan coleslaw. This was a huge dish and very tasty. It was subtly spicy and the flavour caught up with you about halfway through. Very nice indeed.
The Vegan menu also included:
Vegan Lasagne with Garlic Bread
'Hippy Hotpot'
Chilli
Butternut Squash Curry
Falafel Salad
Our youngest daughter wasn't in the mood for anything on the menu (more a reflection on her than on the quality of the food or the variety on offer!) The lady who served us offered her Vegan chicken-style nuggets and chips which went down a treat.
For dessert we had chocolate cake with hot chocolate sauce which was lovely and very filling. Their Vegan dessert menu also included a variety of sorbettos and a fruit crumble.
What's great about The Castle is that even though the current menu is excellent they are continuing to experiment with the aim of bringing in new Vegan dishes. From chatting with our server it's clear that the new animal-free menu is a success with approx. 20% of all diners ordering from it.
A fabulous place and somewhere we'll definitely go back to soon! read more
