Cleo

The roof terrace is up a staircase, so I'll charge up there after a pitstop at the bar. The Sunday roast smells fill the venue.

Bonnie

A roof terrace in the afternoon sun, with a castle view, up a lot of stairs. My legs and stairs are still working it out.

The pawrents

We love it. Dogs are welcome, and the roof terrace catches the afternoon sun with the castle beyond. The Sunday roast and the tapas are both worth another visit.

More from the pawrents

The terrace is up a staircase, and the front door has two deep steps. Ozzy: I highly recommend the braised feather blade steak and mash 👌.

Only so we can ask you about it. We won't add you to anything, and it's never shown.
