We say…
Opposite Nottingham Castle, The Castle Pub is friendly gastro-pub specialising in great tasting, no-fuss food and drinks.
The food on offer is simple yet delicious, with offers running most days of the week. We'd recommend any of the twelve (yes, twleve!) burgers which take inspiration from all over the world! Or if you'd prefer a lighter then there's an evening tapas menu ideal for grazing with a pint or three.
The Castle Pub itself is an historic architectural delight that makes the perfect meeting point for visitors to the city's iconic robin hood statue as well as the castle itself.
In the summer, outside seating is the perfect place to enjoy your meal whilst you take in the views. In the winter, the inside restaurant is a unique and cosy spot to relax with a quiet drink and some top quality food.
The Castle also has a fantastic Function Room available to hire. The room can hold up to 90 people and has
