Had some brilliant Friday evening beer food… probably the best around! Lamb tikka chops… lovely salad and chutney with it, lamb was perfectly pink. Pork belly ribs with BBQ sauce… plenty of meat, maybe a bit more sauce to dip into given the amount of meat on these beasts. And Halloumi fries with a nice sweet chilli dip. All 3 for £18.95… superb value. Mac and cheese for my daughter was also good. Good job, will be back to try the rest if it!
Lovely pub with great beer and tasty food. Nice atmosphere, as well. Excellent overall!
A truly enthralling place to visit. So much to see and wonder at. The audio guides are free and help to explain the various rooms and paintings that you see. The Coronation dress and Robe of Estate and jewellery worn by the Queen are stunning and there are several information boards that give you a brief description of the ceremony. Unfortunately, you are not allowed to take photos or videos inside the castle, so I recommend you buy one of the guide books that are on sale. The gift shops offer a variety of things to buy from reasonably priced to "how much?" (Gasp). You really need two or 3 days to see it all, including St George's Chapel, another beautiful place to visit with so much history. I had better stop now as I seem to be writing a guide book 📖
