text: I came here for a birthday, where we had booked a private room overlooking the castle. It was \u00a324 for 2 courses (alcohol not included). The menu sounded promising: the results a little more than disappointing. The cod starter was fine, the venison main was basically a stew that had hardly any venison in it, and tasted like it had been made with Bisto. It would have worked out at about \u00a318 for the main and \u00a36 for the starter -\u00a0which was completely over priced, both for the quantity and quality of food.\n\nThe staff were patchy -- some were lovely, others seem harrassed and annoyed any time you stopped them to ask for anything.\n\nThe table was also too wide to allow natural conversation to flow across the table. I had lovely company for the evening, but it did mean only talking to the two people on either side of you for the duration of the night, rather than mingle a bit more. Narrow table would have been good to allow cross-table conversation too. A few smiles and waves were given!\n\nIt was a nice venue, good view of the castle, but the food wasn't just forgettable - it was disappointing and felt like a waste of my money. I wouldn't book it myself for a private event.
