About Castle Carvery - Caister
Castle Carvery in Caister serves breakfast, roasts and other British dishes every day, with a soft play area on site for children. The carvery brings a wide selection of meats to the counter alongside vegetables and accompaniments such as Yorkshire puddings. Sundays draw the biggest crowds, in keeping with the roast format. Dogs are welcome in the restaurant, and the daily breakfast service runs alongside the carvery rather than as a separate offering.

Customer Review Summary
The Sunday roast carvery draws the most consistent praise, with reviewers repeatedly citing the wide meat selection, crisp vegetables, good Yorkshire puddings, and gravy described as perfect. Close behind, several single out desserts, particularly a biscoff waffle and biscoff cheesecake, and one visitor called the food better than Toby's carvery. Staff are most often described as friendly and helpful, even during busy lunch and Sunday rushes, though one review found a server lacking energy and another felt hemmed in near a loud bar area. Complaints do surface: one diner's rotisserie chicken came back black inside after a botched fix to a salad order, souring an otherwise ordinary meal, and another reported being charged separately and unexpectedly for desserts after already paying for a two course carvery, calling the staff unhelpful. Pricing drew mixed reactions, with one reviewer calling it pricey and another praising the value for the cost. Most visits, though, end with empty plates and plans to return.

“Great choice of food with plenty of parking and friendly efficient staff.”

“Fed 11 of us as walk in and sat all of us down. Most of us had the carvery which was excellent, good selection of meats, all cooked well and all accompaniments, including nice yorkies. The remainder of our group had other main menu meals and the only complaint was the mash was a little lumpy. Apart from that no issues at all, service was speedy and all the staff were friendly, not bad at all for the cost.”

“The food was lovely and there was a good range of meats. The staff were friendly, chatty and gave great service. The only downside, and this is just personal preference, we were sat near the bar so people kept bumping into us when walking by, it was so loud with music, chats and orders and we felt rather hemmed in. It was not relaxing at all for us. However, other people seemed really happy and had a good time. We were also there on a Sunday when it was at it's busiest. It was extremely pricey though, so only go if money isn't a worry.”

“We visited while on Holiday. After reading good reviews. We Ordered the 2 course Carvary 1x meat 1x vegetarian. Plus a childrens meal. Plus 3 Drinks. We hadn't decided on a dessert at this point but I was charged £42.50, thinking we could go up and order our dessert. When we did this the unhelpful staff then tried to charge another £15.75 for our desserts. Needless to say we purchased an ice cream elsewhere. I would recommend avoiding this place.”

“We all had lovely Carvery Roast, meats cooked deliciously and veg still with a nice crisp to them, not over cooked. It was a very busy lunch time and still the staff were lovely & helpful. They went out of there way to assist with a smile. Thank you”
