Hi folks, As has been mentioned above I'm no longer involved with the Castle Tavern. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your comments, suggestions and, more importantly, your custom over the time I was there. I now have my own pub near Uttoxeter, but will create a new...

There will be no quiz this Sunday as we are packed out for Mother's Day, however it will be business as usual as of Sunday 29th March. We have a good group of regular teams now, but new faces are always welcome. Free supper, the chance to win cold hard cash in 'Play Your Cards Right' which...

Locally sourced vs. Locally reared: agreed and will be changed. Unfortunately I won't be starting the bar menu until this Friday 6th March. I won't go into too many details, but we have to set all the meals up on our electronic till system which feeds the orders through to the kitchen, plus I...

Morning all, In answer to your questions relating to the All Day Breakfast: Yes, you are more than welcome to swap any non-meat item for another. No, locally sourced certainly doesn't mean Sainsbury's/Tesco/any other supermarket! I use a variety of high quality butchers throughout...

You betcha! It's gonna be pretty much this: 2x locally reared smoked back bacon rashers 2x locally reared pork sausages 1x locally laid free range egg Black pudding Fried mushrooms Hash browns Baked beans Grilled tomatoes Toast Any good? ;) :pig:

I've added an All Day Breakfast to the bar menu, also at £5.95, which i'm sure will go down very well!

In line with turning the main section of the Castle Tavern back into a pub, we are relaunching the great value bar menu. All ingredients are locally sourced where possible. This menu is available as of Wednesday 4th March 2009. The bar menu, as the name suggests, is not available in the main...

Added to the menu! Now...back to the music :haw:

Massive Attack, Air, Chilled in Ibiza is definitely the kind of stuff i'm after. Thanks.

It's only because the CDs mysteriously disappear after the OAPs have been in...

Dearest Forumites, I'm looking to get more choices of music to play in The Castle Tavern, both during the day and in the evening. Obviously suggestions like gabba techno and gangster rap aren't what i'm looking for! Any other suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance, Ashley

Yes...it would be great if people could arrive before 8pm so that they can register, get a drink and a seat etc. We're expecting it to be a very busy night!

This is yet to be decided, and it will probably change week-to-week. One thing i'm planning is to do a pot of stew and crusty bread, as it can sit on a hot plate until it's finished, and the continued heat will just make it taste better! I've got plenty more up my sleeve, but I agree that these...

As has already been mentioned on here, the main front section of The Castle Tavern is now, by popular demand, a pub again! The restaurant will continue, and eventually the two will be separated and a new entrance created. Come and join us for a friendly welcome, a roaring log fire and real...

Dear All, I have read Jimbob's post followed by the others. My first thoughts are that I seriously need to sit down and look at the Operational side of my restaurant and assume that I am not doing a great deal wrong in the bar area. Firstly I would like to apologise to Jimbob and his party...

Hi All, (Esp. labcm) Glad you enjoyed your meal. May I take this opportunity to apologise for the slight delay on the night. As you can appreciate all our dishes are freshly cooked and do take a little longer than normal, furthermore two parties arrived earlier than we expected them to and...

Hi All, Hope you are well. I have read some of your posts on the forum and I am glad that the business is getting some reasonable reviews. I will pass on all the comments to my staff. Once again thanks for your support and look forward to seeing you soon

Hi All, Hope you are well. I'm just getting things ready for the weekend trade. I think I am nearly ready with the Bar / Restaurant before I have an official launch and believe me I do take on board the comments on the forum. May I take this opportunity to thank you all for your support /...

Hi All, Hope you are well. Is the anyone on the forum who would be interested in playing the violin or something similar as background music at my restaurant at weekends, say between 7-9pm? Just to give that special touch to the diners. From the outset I have always said I am not a lover of...

Hi, I am Ashley Guntripp (Landlord) from the Castle Tavern Pub and Steak house. I have read your comments posted on the forum. May I take this opportunity to say that I have taken on board the criticisms raised and will discuss these issues with my staff. I hope you and your friends do...
