The Castle Inn - Wokingham

Amazing food, would definitely recommend! Family and dog friendly. Staff are polite and respectful.

My family and I came here for a gathering and birthday celebration. We were seated in the bar area in a slightly strange arrangement, with one person at the end of a separate bench. The waiter/owner offered to move us, but we were fine where we were. We had booked in advance and were surprised by the seating arrangement. We returned after a previous visit in the summer where we sat in a cozy side room, which I recommend for small groups. The pub overlooks a beautiful churchyard and has a rustic interior with scythes on the wall and examples of wattle and daub. It was warm and comfortable, despite being very quiet on a Saturday lunch. The service was a bit slow, taking 2 hours for 2 courses. The food, however, was excellent - well-cooked, well-presented, and hot. There was a good variety of dishes, including traditional burgers, spiced dishes, and vegetarian options. I had the roast duck, while others in my party had burgers, sausages, and ribs, and everyone enjoyed their meal. The desserts were just as good, with a good selection to choose from. The servers were polite and attentive. Overall, it was a very good experience, though I'm not sure how the service would be during busy times.

This is a really lovely welcoming pub that serves a good selection of drinks in confortable surroundings. Staff are charming although a little inexperienced and inattentive, our waitress kept leaning over us to hand out menus and food and never returned to check food was ok or if we needed more drinks. The selection of beer, cider, wine and soft drinks was very good the lunchtime food however was a ok but a bit underwhelming . There were no specials so we selected from the main menu and the food was ok but the chips were more like fries and were very bland, as was the cajun potator wedges that came with an equally bland lamb skewer and really had no cajun spice. Desserts were a lot better and the coffees were ok but took ages to come on what was a very quiet lunch service. Overall we felt a bit disappointed with the experience given the positive reviews from others .

I had an excellent roast dinner today. I am quite particular when dining out for a roast dinner, but this one was exceptional! It was so good that I couldn't finish it all. The staff and owner were really nice and chatty. I will definitely be returning soon for another roast dinner.

This was our first visit to The Castle Inn even though we've lived in the area for a few years. We had the trout pate to start, its a generous portion. For mains, we had skate wing and fish chips, again portion size is generous. No room for puds. Excellent service from a friendly team. We will definitely be returning, can't wait to try the bbq on a Saturday night and the roasts on a Sunday.
