  “Lovely decor, very wide selection of ales, other beers, ciders and other liquor. Good value too. Warm pork scratchings are an uncommon treat, bags of crisps available in many flavours. Toilets in good condition, beer garden is surprisingly big. Special burger menu deals available on Wednesdays at present.”

  “Incredibly poor service - two of us waiting at the bar at 8.55pm just before kitchen closed at 9. I let the other person order first, and they got a long food order in. But after that I was told the kitchen had closed. Surely you find a way to accommodate but the guy behind the bar couldn’t care less. Second bad experience trying to order food in here Edit: The previous experience was similar. However thank you for your reply, have amended the overall rating.”

  “An absolute pleasure to be in the Castle, Jez who looked after us was just fantastic with us. He considered the sensory needs of our group (we are an inclusive meet up group), gave people time at the bar, people felt comfortable to order themselves. The food was delicious! We cannot wait to come back!”

  “Black Rock Pub Trying to review all of the Cambridge pubs therefore entered this pub. It looks like a place with old history. So I always thought that it's just a boring one and two veg British pub. My bad. I took it back. It's a pub that is doing something different. Black Rock Grill. It's very important in my opinion. There are so many pubs, you need to have something unique that makes customers remember and return for you. Got a steak that was much cheaper than Kobe on the same street. Couldn't compare as Kobe is a fine dining restaurant while the Castle Inn is a pub. But still, the steak tasted good. No strange taste or smell. A rump steak but tasted like a fillet to me. One of the good things is that customers can choose their side. The side is not default. Healthy(salad) or crispy(fries). Either is not expensive. The environment is clean. The staff was nice. Toilets are roomy and clean. I will come back to try other items on the menu. See you around!”

  “We visited this place on a Saturday afternoon, and it was rather quiet. We were looking forward to a more bustling environment, but maybe it was because they had just opened. The staff member was quite friendly. You had to place your order at the counter and help yourself to the cutlery. There were no additional service charges, so it was acceptable. We had a Castle Burger, which was quite filling and tasted alright. We also had fish and chips, but the chips were way too salty. We couldn’t finish them because of that. Overall, it was quite affordable. In terms of atmosphere, it wasn’t really what we expected from a pub. The food could also use some improvement.”

  “The Castle Inn is a well-located pub with nice ambient and median food. The pub is surprisingly spacious, with large tables on the second floor. It is also cozy and comfortable, and I especially enjoyed the old-fashioned ambient music selection. Ordering is done through a website, which is intuitive but has no Google Pay (typing card is required). Service was fast but I think a little bit overpriced (not above the standard though). The classic burger is median and fries could be better, but I would say they are good. The place has a large selection of beers but I did not recognise any known one (I am still getting used to UK beer). Overall, my experience at the Castle Inn was good and I would be happy returning to it.”

  “We have always enjoyed visits to the Castle. Most recently we popped in for lunch on a Sunday. I am not always the biggest fan of a roast in a pub, but saw someone else having it and it looked great, so we ordered the same. There was a great variety of veg, the meat was good, nice Yorkie and potatoes. They have a decent beer range from Adnams and I thought the prices were reasonable for Cambridge. The lady running the place was very friendly and efficient which is lovely to see.”
