Skimmington Castle

As a group of three we decided to eat at the sky and what a tasty bite. we arrived as a big party older ladies, so it was busy. we had waited a little because it was obvious that they were short-circuited;. something that occurs in all the best restaurants. the food was fantastic, nicely cooked, presented and delicious, desfinitiw the wait worth. I have to apologize for one of our parties, who unfortunately was impatient and harassed the personal. however, the staff treated the older dame beautifully and apologised for waiting.

Decent breakfast and is a good traditional pub without frills. eating is always good, no matter what time of day and has a good turnover of diners so nieone in the opposite knows that they get what they pay for here.

The best Sunday who roasted and we have tried everything about the place, star service ambiente eating and they can take their dog

We live in front of this place and love this pub. We often stop for drinks and lunch. We knew they had great rooms, so we decided to book a large room for a family celebration and birthdays. Our group included children, including teenagers, as well as a celiac who cannot tolerate milk. We were given a beautiful room in one of the garden rooms which we decorated with balloons and table decorations. The pub was very accommodating in helping us meet our dietary requirements and allowed us to pre-order our food. The evening was fantastic, with perfectly cooked steaks and the famous beach fish cake being favorites among our group. The children enjoyed the huge burgers. Our waitress was excellent, helpful, attentive, and simply lovely. We brought special birthday cakes, which we were happy to share with the staff.

Visited for a Sunday roast as adults and child and was really disappointed. I should say firstly, the waiting staff were friendly and polite although clearly very busy, the table and surroundings were very nice too but the food wasn’t up to scratch....We had roasts, the beef was over cooked and included thin slices; the pork was similarly small with a lump of paxo and burnt stick of crackling. There were plenty of veg but one plate with carrot/swede mash, red cabbage and peas was cold. They didn’t have the only desert of interest (mars brownie) and only vanilla or strawberry ice cream flavours. The apple and pear crumble was sour and came with a tiny portion of custard. I haven’t been to Skimmington Castle since the pandemic and based on today’s visit I won’t go again.
