The Castle Tavern Richmond

Out and about round Richmond on a girls weekend away. What a find The Castle Tavern was. All 9 of us were feeling peckish but didn't fancy a full meal as we were out drinking and obvs that's more important lol. We checked out the menu but they only did full meals. We spoke to Kelsey who said she would sort us a grazing board. Omg she definitely did not disappoint. Meatballs, chicken goujons, cheese, meat, crusty bread and much more. It was presented beautifully. She was so accommodating. I would 100% recommend a visit here. And the Sheffield lot will definitely be back. Thank you Kelsey xx

we stayed in the station room for 1 night. the pub staff were lovely and friendly, but we felt the room was really run down and needed some work even some paint would be enough. the bed was super comfy and the room was super spacious! we found the shower to be pretty naff! understandably it states they share a water tank and so to have a shower rather than a bath which wasn’t an issue but the water pressure was terrible and most of the shower trickled out which is annoying when you’re trying to rinse shampoo and conditional out of your hair. we also had someone’s old shower gel bottle left in the shower which wasn’t ideal but not a huge problem to moan about too much. the emergency lighting in the hallway between the bathroom and bedroom also doesn’t turn off and stays on all night which is a little annoying as had to sleep with bedroom door shut which was super stiff to open and close. wouldn’t rate no more than a 3 star for these reasons, but with some decorating it would’ve been higher.

We stopped off here on our drive back from Scotland to Kent and very glad we did. Amazing value for money. Jon and Fiona made us feel very welcome. Very convenient in central Richmond for restaurants and the castle. Comfortable bed and clean room. Can’t fault it really!

My friend and I enjoyed a fabulous Bottomless Brunch on a Saturday afternoon. On arrival, we were met with a friendly smile and shown to our table where a glass of Prosecco was brought over. We then enjoyed some fabulous cocktails, all beautifully made and decorated by Kelsie, and had a lovely "grazing platter" to enjoy too. A really fun afternoon and will definitely do it again in the future.

Enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch…..great portions and amazing gravy. Definitely recommend and will be coming back. Everyone was very friendly and a great atmosphere. A real traditional style pub with good range of drinks. Central location in the town centre.

So this evening we went to the castle tavern in Richmond after a meal elsewhere for my birthday. A band was playing, mainly oasis songs. They were actually quite good as we had already discussed among us. Only half way in to our first drink the guy singing started shouting at us calling us jackanory and telling us to shut up talking followed by a load more of abuse and telling us to leave. This is a usual pub for us and never has anything of this nature happened before. We complained to the bar staff but not a lot really happened so we left. Never have I felt so uncomfortable in a pub as I did tonight. It’s a shame because I have always liked this pub but will not be going back.
