AMAZING!!! As far as I remember this place has won pub food…read moreof the year ever year since Ive lived in the area. Super tasty quality food, I noticed that on the menu it even tells you which farm the meat came from, or where the ice cream was made etc. The Greek Lamb and the Gammon are both brilliant. The portions are huge and I'm always left with enough food for another meal but save room for the Holly Bush sundae because you wont ever have a such a selection of tasty locally made ice cream :) The prices are great too, last time I went it was around 30quid for the 2 of us.

A good menu selection of good, homely, traditional English pub food with the additional 'special' thrown in for good measure. Superb, great hosts and comfortable surroundings.

We recently stayed at the Barrel Inn for 7 nights while in England visiting family. The place was…read moredelightful. The room was updated and well appointed. The views were out of this world. During our visit we ate in the restaurant several times. The Fish n Chips were fabulous, very tasty and not greasy. The Toad in the Hole was another favorite and a new experience for this American. The Sunday Roast was second to none. The owners, Diane and Phil, are very hands on with their business and are delightful to speak with. When we are back in the area, I know where we will be staying.

This pub should be kept secret! So what am I doing writing a review?? It has no frills at all but…read moreis what a proper pub should be! Only open a couple of days a week - at the weekend - it serves quite reasonable food and fantastic beer - personally I love the absolution. The landlord is usually to be found drinking a bowl of tea in the bar by the fire with his whippets and reading the Telegraph. I wish it was my local great way to spend a Saturday lunchtime in the middle of a days walking! Be warned though it doesn't suit everyone though for the life of me don't know why!!

A frosty frosty Fosters at a bargain price is poured into my glass and I follow it with about 6-7 others before I stumble home each and every night. They even let me have my dog by my side to make it even more homely for me. All the other people in this pub are friends of mine and you're welcome to come down and join us.

Best combined with a walk round the attractive surrounding countryside, The Castle Inn can be a…read moregreat place to reward yourself with a pint. There's not a huge choice of food or drink, but what is done is done well. Hearty and satisfying dishes like roast chicken or beef and bangers & mash are popular. The Inn is firmly rooted in the community, so new visitors should be careful to not 'swan in' like they own the place. It's recommended to show some respect and then everyone gets on fine, this isn't a city bar. The Castle can be hard to reach by public transport, so take the car, poke around the lovely village and enjoy a quiet drink with some hearty grub. That's the way to enjoy the Castle.

Visited here after a nice walk around Ladybower Reservoir…read more We decided to park up here as it is a great starting point for a walk around the area. The actual pub is very traditional and serves real ale along with various beers, lagers and spirits (as you'd expect). We ordered a couple of starters between us - trout goujons (caught in the reservoir next to the pub) and brie parcels. Both were expensive for what you got at nearly £6 each but were quite tasty. The ploughmans salad was very good and very large! You got a good selection of cheeses and bread along with a nice slice of pork pie and fruit and salad. I would love to give it 4 stars but for me it just wasn't up to the standard of some other pubs I have been to nearby.
