What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Castle View Restaurant offers a truly picturesque dining experience with breathtaking views of Leeds Castle. While many praise the delicious seasonal British cuisine and the warm, attentive service, some reviews mention inconsistencies in food preparation and a lack of basic table amenities. The ambiance is generally loved, though one reviewer noted that interior lights could detract from the castle view at night.
"Went to Leeds Castle today and ended up in Castle view restaurant. We didn't expect to have a Sunday Roast but we did. It was very tasty and substantial. I had roast beef, hubby had roast pork. Great selection of vegetables.
Staff attentive but not intrusive.
Obviously the view was spectacular.
We wanted to give a tip but only took cash. We had no cash. Thank you all for a lovely, tasty lunch"

"We had 3 meals and only 1 out of 3 was nice, which was a butternut squash ravioli. The burger was served with cold fries and fish and chips had no flavour and came with cold fries. There was no salt or pepper on the tables, and no sauces offered. For the ice late we had to take sugar from the bar, in cubes, which was not the best combination when it comes to iced coffee. The decor and atmosphere were lovely, and the service was friendly and welcoming. The food however and the lack of basics like salt and pepper didn't leave a good impression."

"Fantastic menu and food quality. Great choice of cocktails reasonably priced. Service was a little patchy even though it didn't look that busy. But staff very nice. Only slight disappointment was the castle view, which you could not see well from the table due to the brightness of the restaurant lights, especially those around the window - which detrimentally affected the ambience.
Only good photo opportunity was from the patio outside - so I'd imagine tables would be sited on the patio in summer. But overall very nice evening. Will be back - in the summer."
