Castle Inn - Boston

This is our go-to spot in the neighborhood. The portions are huge and delicious! Every dish is outstanding. It's family-owned and the owners and staff are wonderful people.

We visited for lunch and I must say, for the prices, it was definitely worth it. The prawn cocktail starter was delicious, with soft bread. The main course was also excellent, with generous portions. The service was fantastic, going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be returning.

I was on a quest to find a good Sunday roast, but unfortunately, I didn't find it today. I had heard great things about The Castle Inn from friends, so I decided to give it a try. We were seated at a small table that couldn't fit all of our plates, vegetables, and gravy boat, so my husband decided to take our meal to go. Despite being told they were fully booked, they miraculously found us another table to sit at (which we appreciated). The portions were generous, and the vegetables were well-cooked. My turkey was moist and delicious, but my beef was chewy. The mashed potatoes had too much pepper and were inedible, while the roast potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. My husband's gammon was dry. When asked if the meal was okay, we said it was just "okay" and not good. Unfortunately, this is another local restaurant where we won't be returning for Sunday roast.

We had recently moved to the area in June 23 and thought we would give our local pub a try with our 2 friends. We booked the table for 6.30 on a Tuesday. Arrived and within 5 minutes we had our meal choices taken and a few minutes later our drinks arrived. So far so good. The pub was half empty. An hour later our food arrived! Not good! I ordered Castle Chicken which is a chicken breast with trimmings, but received a chilli meat burger. I called the waiter over and asked him if this was Castle chicken (he looked a little agitated), and he said it was a chilli burger. Due to the length of time we waited I said just leave it and I would eat the chips and salad. He said he would deduct my drink, a pint of Inch's cider and would give me a double portion of dessert I didn't get the double even though the waiter told the young lad to do it. We each had a meal (all under £20) and dessert (no idea how much desserts were). 3 of us had 2 drinks 1 to be deducted and 1 had a pint of shandy. The whole thing came to £148 which after leaving, we thought was expensive and probably wrong. It took the waiter 3 attempts to enter the items into the till. He kept asking us what we had. He was getting very agitated with the till. We just wanted to get out as was feeling uncomfortable. My partner says he will never go there again. I want to go when the owner is there as apparently it runs more smoothly with less waiting time when she is there. I also want to check what we were charged. The other 3 people in our party said the food was good and good value for money, albeit we think we were overcharged!

DON'T BOTHER!!!! Pre-ordered food as asked to by person on phone when booking. Arrived 5:30pm for 6pm booking. Place was empty, but soon filled, GOT FOOD at 7:55pm!!! That after continually asking and reminding staff we had pre-ordered, they said Yes it's being cooked. Most people around us had arrived after us, eaten and left before food even came out! The food Well what can I say everything seriously overcooked!!!! Maybe that's why we waited 2hours.....no apologies, not even an excuse...shambles. Without doubt the Worst Pub/Restaurant/Eatery Experience We have ever had!!! MY STRONG RECOMMENDATION....DON'T BOTHER!!!!!! Sorry cannot think of One single positive sadly I would give NO STARS if I could.
