Reviews of Castle View Restaurant at Leeds Castle
A. C.Couldn't have asked for a better experience! The view was amazing with the castle in the background. Make sure to see our amazing dusk photo. it's not doctored at all! We had afternoon tea, dinner, and breakfast here. Everything we had was prepared to perfection and presented with such charm. Wait staff is creme of the crop. We closed the place down one night, so we got to chat with most of them for a while. They are all super friendly. The restaurant itself is set up very nicely. The patio out back gives you the best view of the castle. Whether you're staying overnight or just visiting for the day, you need to grab a bite here.
M. T.Great choice of food and drinks and nicely prepared! We stayed at Leeds castle for two nights and breakfast and dinner were included with our stay. Everyone is very welcoming! The food was tasty - beef really nicely done, very tender. We tried a local red wine which was very nice as well. Good choice of desserts - caramel custard slice and passion fruit delice were superb! Keep in mind that menu might be different depending on the seasons.
T.Stayed over in one of the stable rooms and had dinner here for my hen do. Manager Mario is absolutely marvellous he is friendly, professional and created a nice atmosphere on what was a quiet Thursday night. We had a couple of small issues that he quickly rectified and made our night more enjoyable. The food was excellent and they were very supportive of my sisters nut allergy. Breakfast too was really fresh, of nice quality and the view of the castle is breathtaking. Really hope to return one day. Thanks again Mario!
K. R.I had a lovely evening at this restaurant, I dined alone but the staff were warm and welcoming and attentive. The food was incredible and I'm glad I left room for the pudding, a white chocolate brulee which was like heaven on a spoon!
Just be aware that they cannot take a tip by card payment, so come with cash as this is somewhere that you will be happy to leave your thanks for a great service.
*Edit - I went back the next morning for breakfast and the staff were equally amazing and the food great.
L. K.This restaurant is definitely worth a visit. The view is stunning and the food was tasty with a varied enough menu for meat eaters (veggies will just about cope… vegans I wouldn’t visit!) The view and the decent enough food (for the price) make it worth a visit but I wouldn’t expect top end service or a substantial wine list. The staff are young and there wasn’t any real managing going on. It’s fine until you encounter little issues, even such as a wobbly table, which just took far more energy to resolve than you’d expect. We booked weeks before and requested a window table but on arrival we were told there are none available, which is fine and understandable. To then eat dinner on a table with no castle view but a great view of 3 empty window tables for our whole visit (to which there were no other bookings after 9pm on the Euro cup final!) is a bit cheeky. What makes this stand out is that the majority of visitors will either be coming for a special occasion, or staying in the accommodation and paying a fair amount. If I owned this restaurant I would be proud of the food served but would focus on customer focused training, starting with the manager. It would make this magical setting just perfect to have food + view = make it special for every single visitor.
V. G.Lovely experience - house was great for a history mad 13 year old. Knocked 1 star off because the only gluten free food available today was chips and although they were nice, would love more choice
D. N.Excellent place to visit with kids or on your own. Vast gardens, lots to see. Entry to the castle is included in the ticket—a great playground for kids with falconry and a maze.
M. R. (.Blown away by the view on arrival! Had a pre-meal G&T on the veranda taking in the surroundings and ordered from a very reasonable 3 course dinner menu. All the dishes were excellent, particularly main and desert. Sam the waitress was attentive and welcoming, in fact all staff were chatty smiley and friendly. Had coffee on the veranda, (photo attached), a walk through the gardens back to the car park to cap off a great night. Circa £100 for 2 for 3 courses, red wine, pre-meal and post-meal drinks and coffee.... worth every single penny! See you again soon!!
J. M.Magical place, great food and excellent staff!
Although we have lived in Maidstone for over ten years, this is the first time that the Mrs and I have visited this restaurant, and it did not disappoint at all, from start to finish.
Right from the beginning, driving up the driveway and parking. Then walking the garden path full of flowers, and finally entering the restaurant, the introduction was great.
Once in the restaurant, the staff were very attentive. Spoke to the waitress and sought advise on what to select from the three course menu. There was a lady in a red cardigan that would walk around glancing at tables to make sure no one was waiting for something.
The food was excellent! I've been to a few top end restaurants, not just in the UK but in different countries too and in my opinion, it's up there with some of the best. The price was great too.
During the meal there was a fireworks display outside on the balcony that overlooked the castle. I don't know if that happens every evening but it was definitely a nice touch.
Towards the end of our meal, the wine sniffer came along and we had a lovely chat about what we liked to drink etc.
The evening was lovely. Lovely place, lovely food, and lovely staff. I can't believe I've not been here before!
Definitely worth the visit... Again and again!
J.We went here for a meal for my husbands birthday. A complimentary glass of champagne from Leeds castle on arrival.
Fantastic service and Sam was really helpful.
Staff so friendly and cannot do enough to make your evening enjoyable.
The meals were excellent.
Had a wonderful evening.
C. B.I've been here quite a few times before and generally enjoyed the meals which made a reasonable lunch. I took my young grandsons there yesterday and found that the menus have become rather simplified, even though the prices have stayed high. For three simple snack like meals with tea and soft drinks, the bill came in at over £44 and we had to wait 50 minutes from our meal. Sadly disappointed on this occasion, it's a lovely venue but the over priced food was nothing fantastic to write home about and not particularly tasty. Nothing I said I should post it
L. D.Went there with family for an anniversary meal. Lovely food and good value. Oliver was amazing he made us feel so special and was genuinely happy for our occasion, his service and interaction helped make it one of the best dining experiences weve ever had. Even offering to to take photos at sunset and then grabbing us again once the castle lights turned on for more. Cant wait to come back again when family back down.
D. E. (.To use the restaurant you may have to book ticket to access Leeds castle 🏰. One of the best views of the castle and food was good. A little on the pricey side for the rated "good" on food quality. Could do a little better, not much, just to get a great rated review.
G. A.Lovely view, very good food, great service. A delightful evening. Certainly will return.
J. S.The restaurant has lovely views of the castle across the moat. We shared the camenbert starter which was delicious! I would recommend the Chicken main and the apple crumble and bread and butter pudding were delightful - we couldn't have eaten anything else. The staff were very attentive and friendly and we felt extremely safe with all the covid measures in place. I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant.
P. H.Stunning location! Lovely food and friendly staff.
A. W.Initially we were turned away for at least half an hour as they were full. Returned nearly an hour later when the restaurant was more than half empty so we were very optimistic about eating soon. However, no one came to take our order for over half an hour - nor any reason given for the delay. We then had to wait as long for our food to arrive. To be fair, it was a busy day between Christmas and New Year but to leave us at the table with no apologies or explanation for that long really wasn't acceptable. No problem with the food
M. H.It was alright, but far from a fancy restaurant in a castle. Food took 50min to arrive despite the place being less than half full. Food was not great... The vegan burger had no sauce at all, and the side salads had no dressing. The vegetarian quiche was "okay". Don't be afraid to ask for hollandaise sauce for your burger - it's the only "proper" sauce available, and it kind of fit in! And they have vinagraitte for the salad, it's just not part of the plan but you can request it. And make use of the sauces-in-a-packet if you need to eat here. The castle view is nice from the terrace. Staff were very young and inexperienced, but kind.
i. w.Loved the food, service was friendly and great views of the castle
N. B.Amazing food. Beautiful view. The staff were very attentive. The sommelier made the perfect recommendation. All together brilliant evening out.
L. W.Was surprised by the prices! For such fine dining atmosphere, food and services, meals costed just like a family restaurant! And that was amazing! Stayed 2 nights in the castle and so we had 4 meals there. Breakfasts were lovely, kitchen supplied different food for both days. Dinners were fabulous! The Gammon Knuckle was heavenly. Tender, juicy, tasty and full of collagen; It was more than enough for 2 to share. Thank you for the good service. Would love to try the curry dish next time.
B. V.Great location, amazing atmosphere and the food is good with great attention to detail.
D. C.What a beautiful place to enjoy a meal. I had a perfect evening of dining and admiring. Service was excellent from start to finish, both humble and perceptive.
Food was on the fine dining scale and priced reasonably for food of this quality. There is a lot to be said about fresh bread served at restaurants. At Castle View Restaurant the artisan rolls are freshly prepared and piping hot. Always enjoyable way to begin. An Asian inspired amuse Bouche was offered to follow. Each one of my 3 courses arrived adorned with artistry detail. The main, a whole plaice, was one of the best fish dishes I’ve enjoyed in a long time. Buttery, flaky, it was sumptuous.
As I sat at my window side table I looked out and admired a view of the castle. This venue is romantic, scenic and relaxed. I loved it.
D. K.The restaurant view is just stunning, the Risotto awesome, the beer ice cold ... so: Hail to the king, baby! 👍🏻🤘🏻
Leeds Castle was celebrating the 500th anniversary of The Field of Cloth of Gold – a renowned festival that took place in 1520 near Calais as part of a summit between King Henry VIII of England and King François I of France. A recent study of historical records into this meeting of Kings, has raised a big question over one of the most famous events in the Castle’s history. Did King Henry VIII actually stay at Leeds Castle on his way to Dover 500 years ago today on the 22nd May 1520, as has always been thought?
We were not able to find out... 😄
S. T.This restaurant is pleasant during the daytime offering nice lunch bits but really comes into it's own in the evening. By luck rather than judgement, my fiancee and I enjoyed our first post-engagement meal here and it was perfect. Friendly and efficient service, excellent food, comfortable (covid-safe) surroundings and a fantastic view of the castle! Everything about our meal was a cut above a normal meal out and it was the perfect end to our day!
On a side note, for anyone wondering, you access the restaurant in the evening via a private entrance with a separate car park - you don't have to walk all of the way from the main car park!
J. T.Hidden gem!!
Tucked away inside the castle grounds the restaurant is open for the public in the evening. The views are amazing and the food was brilliant.
Set menu price was £26 for two courses which is incredibly reasonable for the level.of food and service we received.
Would highly recommend.
L. T.We went to the restaurant last night and it was superb! The tables are socially distanced so it really feels very private and they are fully prepared with covid precautions that are effective but not intrusive. But the best bit by far was the food - it was exquisite! The chicken supreme was one of the best dishes I've had in a very long time and my husband's gammon hock was huge and delicious. I thoroughly recommend this place. The staff were lovely and attentive and you just can't beat the view. Despite this being our first ever visit, we're already planning to return in a few weeks!
M.I thoroughly enjoyed dining here! Michael, the Head Waiter, is a real skilled professional - absolute class! The food, atmosphere and location was brilliant. It was a pleasure being served by Michael and the team, they really made my partners' birthday a memorable experience. I look forward to coming back, thanks again!
W.We love the Castle and visit frequently. Our first time dining in the evening. We went on a Sunday and had a superb roast dinner. The main and dessert were outstanding and a delicious Rioja completed the experience. Helpful, friendly staff too. Going again in the very near future.
M. H.Decent restaurant but the views and access to the grounds is what your after here. We were stopping by castles in the region and wouldn't make it to Leeds in time to properly tour. We booked a dinner table that gives you great views of the castle but also after dinner you can walk the grounds a but and stroll through the gardens. Recommend it as a way to see the exterior of the castle.
K. H.The food was not good at all, the Beef Sirloin was so thin and way over seasoned! Also with a lot of tendon. I felt bad to wasting food, I didn’t send it back. But I will not recommend it at all.
P. W.Excellent service, fantastic food, fantastic view of the castle and grounds.
A. F.Food was tasty but very slow - took over an hour. This was on Christmas Eve though so potentially short staffed.
M. B.Ok, so this was simply a great night. We had the festive menu which was limited in places but enough choice to suit most. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. The service was very good and the young staff was very attentive. There was not much to improve on although the restaurant was very warm and the views of the castle at night are hard to see as the restaurant is very bright. It would have been better to be in a lower-lit room so you could benefit from the castle views. However, a nice experience and would recommend it.
K. K.Enjoyed lunch here in December 2021 as part of our visit to Leeds Castle. A great location with as the name implies looking right over the castle. We were sat in a more casual area with there another section for dinner, as well as an outdoor balcony perfect for warmer weather. Our food was pretty good overall.
E. H.Went here for my Dads birthday, and they were so nice! They gave him a special birthday desert, and I felt like we were in the best seats in the house. The staff were all lovely, and friendly, especially Leanne who was so helpful when it came to my families special dietary requirements. The food was amazing, and the kitchen was so accommodating for all our special needs. And of course, the view was spectacular with Leeds Castle all lit up at night! Would highly recommend!
S. E.Polite and friendly members of staff, also very considerate.
Meal was very well presented, tasty and thoroughly.
Would definitely recommend this restaurant.
N. B.Myself and my husband had a really lovely meal yesterday at Leeds Castle in the castle View Restaurant, the Outlook and views are absolutely stunning, will be visiting again, thank you
C. K.Food was amazing, but the staff... The staff were incredible
C. P.Loved It!
This would be classed as the 'posh' restaurant at Leeds Castle. And it was. But is was also excellent value for money. It is not fast food to be clear. A great sit down meal, over looking the castle. The service is via their app at the moment; that will change soon no doubt.
The thing they have good so right is the to food is very good. I had a pie, with mash and veg. Normally the pie would be devoid of meat; not here. Quality all around, with delicious food, well flavoured and seasoned.
Great job!
s. B.Food great service great staff smile and greet you
Well recommended and staff ask for allergies before anything
S. F.Food okay but soup cold. No Brussels sprouts or stuffing with the turkey.
V. C.Lovely restaurant and setting looking over the castle. Quick service. Friendly staff. However the food was disappointing, at £26 for a two course meal it was very much on the minuscule side so not for ones who have a slightly larger appetite. Apart from that it was a nice experience.
T. G.The setting was really lovely and the staff friendly and professional. The menu was limited but there were enough options for most people. I opted for the Vegan Moroccan Pasty with Chips, which was unfortunately disappointing, it was bland and without texture, essentially mildly spiced beans mashed into a pasty, the chips were good though.
K. S.Of course the view was spectacular but shame about the service, we ordered 5 meals the same and only 2 turned up, after waiting and there meal getting cold os of waiting for you we got the waitresses attention and asked if we can have the rest if the meals as we would like to all eat together, they didn't know we ordered 5 ' the same meals' With apologies they offered complimentary drinks in which they put on our bill!!!! Very disappointed with the hole untrained service. Do not recommend and won't be back.
A. C.Food was nice but portions very small. 1 sprout with the turkey doesn't constitute vegetables. A dish of veggies were needed
Also at breakfast no eggs and half a mushroom.
Staff very attentive and setting lovely but definitely need to address what they serve up.
T. M.The guest breakfasts are fabulous. Especially the Eggs Royale. The service is good and friendly. The dinner menu is a little limited, but what we had was good. A few more dinner options, with a couple of 'basic' options would do nicely. I was raised by a chef and became a chef, and I love all food and am more than happy to explore. But my wife, and many others, just want a down home easy to recognize dish. A coupe simple options would go a long way.
J. C.Great food and friendly staff. Beautiful veiw of the castle.
i. s.Great food but more knowledge Is needed around the menus
K. M.Great food, wonderful setting. However one of our party suffers walking difficulties. On arrival our fellow diner needed to use the toilet facilities. To my astonishment a disability toilet was not available on the same floor as the table. No disabled lift was working and no emergency wheelchair available. Our disabled fellow diner was forced to navigate a flight of stairs down to reach a disabled toilet on the floor below. This was followed by reclimbing the same set of stairs back to the dinner table. The efforts required and the discomfort involved were unacceptable and in this day and age deplorable for such a well known tourist attraction.
E. D.Ambiance is great. Food was hit and miss. We went for the slow cooked pork belly which they had run out of so was replaced with a pork loin but the waiter reassured it was slow cooked. It was grilled and chewy. Though the staff were lovely, service was slow.
D. W.Good food. Good service. Great setting
B. “. b. s. S.Great place well worth a visit especially in the restaurant,so friendly and helpful the staff are amazing, 👍 also being a coeliac the menu is great would like if the was a bit more choices regards a gluten free meals and puddings ect,apart from that the gluten free meals that's on the menu are very tasty 😋💖👍 …
S. H.Nice restaurant. Had lunch sitting on terrace overlooking castle. Long wait outside to get in, much longer than advised. Told it was due to back up of orders in kitchen. Enjoyed lunch when it arrived, even this took along time after ordering.
L. R.Fantastic meal for my partners birthday.
Food was fantastic and staff very friendly. Highly recommend the Camembert sharing starter and gammon knuckle
For main sharing. Stunning views being right by the castle. Very romantic feel about the place. WE WILL BE BACK!!
C. R.Nice sunday lunch out with the family, would have been 5 stars but it does feel a little like a canteen mixed with a restaurant instead of feeling fully like a restaurant.
J. B.Lovely location and food was nice but trying too hard to be haute cuisine! Hardly any veg with main meal, needed to order extra. Dessert described as choc torte with meringue and fresh fruit, the meringue would've sat on a penny and the fresh fruit was one strawberry, one raspberry and half a blackcurrant!! It was expensive but of course location gives it the 4 stars. Also at breakfast tea and coffee not very fresh being served out of flasks Staff all lovely though. Think a few tweaks needed.
T. M.Had the full English breakfast here and it was delicious. Great view of the castle.
B. C.It was a beautiful sunny spring morning and having visited the castle we called in for a spot of lunch. We were very lucky to have a table outside, with a perfect view of the castle.
The open sandwiches we had were ok, but would have been nicer with a little garnish and maybe a few chips or crisps. Was a little disappointed with the selection of wine on offer, just one red and one white. The service was on the slow side, however it was very busy.
But we still had a great day and will return as we always do.
S. B.Gorgeous restaurant setting, especially at night. The lady who greeted us was really friendly but our waitress seemed uninterested as time passed The menu is more limited than I expected and the service is really slow. Not bothered if food is slow to come out from the kitchen, but sitting for long periods of time with a finished plate in front of me or waiting excessive amounts of time with a menu waiting to order is annoying. Most of the other guests seemed to be staying at the hotel so the slower pace does make sense if trying not to rush people making an evening of it. Had a nice meal but wouldn't look to return
G. A. S. A.I love the ambiane of this place. It's very romantic. We went here for dinner so it was such a shame that we did not get to see the castle and the surrounding place but i'm planning to visit again in summer. The staff were very accommodating and well mannered, they even voluntered to have our group picture taken and they'd done so enthusiastically. It was really late then, mind you, and we were the very last customers but they still accommodated us well. The meal did took quite some time but it was well worth the wait. The food is also commendable and there were dishes that are suitable for sharing so it's quite affordable. This is a good place to celebrate anniversaries and such. Would love to go back
I. J.Had a nice lunch here, it's good because we have small children, and we are able to wear them out well before we eat, making sitting still for an hour bearable for them. Limited menu, but all tastes good, and was fresh. Wasn't so keen on my baked potatoe being served in a tin as this made it difficult to cut, but not a big deal. Table was clean, and staff helpful.
C. C.Didn't really get to experience this restaurant at its full potential as we only popped in for some lunch. The food that we had was very nice but I am sure it is a better experience for dinner
S. H.Beautiful historically interesting building with fabulous grounds and gardens
M. B.This was possibly the most spectacular date night we have ever had. Every part of the evening was special. We went on a weekday evening and from the moment that we pulled up to the gatehouse until the moment we left was perfect. My wife was blown away, as a historian and as a romantic she was speechless.
Due to the time of year and the time of week we were one of only 4 reservations that the restaurant had that night, but by either freak luck or circumstances we had the restaurant to ourselves.
Ben, our server was excellent, he was attentive to our needs, humorous and likeable but ultimately allowed my wife and I space to enjoy each others company and the food.
The atmosphere was lovely with quiet classical piano music and candles setting the scene perfectly.
The food itself was exceptional, better than many other London fine food establishments. Not only delicate and flavourful, but well presented and full plates to make sure you are satisfied.
The drinks too were excellent and paired with the food well.
Having not been during the day I still feel I can say is that at night the castle is transformed. Truly a magical scene for a magical meal.
While we didn't stay for the night, we were still able to enjoy a quiet post meal walk down to the castle and enjoy a quiet and spectacular view.
An evening my wife and I will never forget, a hidden gem apparently as we were quite alone!
My wife went from sceptical as we pulled up to the gatehouse that we were even in the correct place for a meal out to crying with joy and shock on being allowed in and seeing the castle for the first time.
It was even reasonably priced! I cannot recommend this highly enough, except to maybe keep other people away so that we could get another private night at the restaurant!
I look forward to returning in the future, my wife is already calling for a yearly visit!
J. I.Good food. Slightly expensive. Staff very nice and helpful.
J. W.Afternoon tea on the terrace was very nice. Wasps were not, we were pestered by at least a dozen at a time. Waiter told us there are wasp nests under the terrace that they can't do anything about. Think they should tell you about them before seating you.
F. F. (.Excellent mac and cheese and chips feel home made
A. P.Excellent roast dinner, which was annoying as my wife and I had the fish and chips which was ok at best! A bit slow on the service but only to be expected with the present situation. Certainly better than expected!
B. A.This is a very nice restaurant indeed with old exposed red stock bricks and big Oak timber beamed roof. Like an old converted barn
The food menu is medium expensive but all dishes were fantastic.
Also ask for a window table as these offer a fantastic view of the castle when your dining
n. c.Absolutely beautiful food with wonderfully combined flavours! Sarah was fantastic and made us very welcome. Sarah was also incredibly helpful in arranging vegetarian options for my boyfriend as well as providing him with a birthday plate! Another lady was also extremely kind in taking pictures in front of the castle for us! Thank you for an incredible evening and for making my boyfriend's birthday even more special, thank you !
A. R.Good food, move atmosphere. Service could have been slightly more professional (e.g. they could've asked to take our coats) but they were very nice. I was impressed with the choice of fish and vegetarian dishes.
t.Had a great evening here, the food was very good and we will certainly be returning in the not to distant future.
M. B.Beautiful view of the castle at night, very moving
A. T.The restaurant seems to have an issue with flies and we personally had an issue with our evening main meal which was sorted but generally all was OK and the staff were helpful and friendly.
V. D.I was taken to Castle View restaurant for my birthday. The food was great and view was breathtaking. Customer service was superb. I would definitely recommend 👌 …
R. W.Exellent food with indoor and outdoor seating. Very clean restaurant all covid prevenmeasures in place epic view of the castle. There is free parking well worth a visit booking online or by phone would definitely go back
L. B.Limited choice for vegetarians.
We visited as a family for my birthday meal 3 days ago. 2 of us are vegetarians and there was only one main meal option (pasta). As the menu said to enquire, we asked about alternative vegetarian options for the evening; same as on the menu it turned out. We shared starters (having both veggie options amongst our group choice for starters) and I then had the same starter as a main as there was only the pasta as main on offer, which I dislike. 7 mains on offer for meat eaters though. 🤔 Pricey considering I wouldn’t have chosen what I ate if there had been better choice.
Surely a bit of haloumi or similar isn’t too much to have as an alternative? 😖
Nice venue, a bit of a trek to find car park and then to wind way through grounds to find the restaurant itself.
E. C.The restaurant is nice. Located on the side of thr Castle and lake but the location is not that important when the staff and the food is almost dead.
We ordered piri piri chicken burger with bacon and chease... the thing was dead, the chicken was too dry even with a ton of ketchup. In the menu didn't say anything about the chips come with burger so we ordered chips aswell, we ended up with 4 portions of chips on the table.
Almost forget to mention that we waited 40 minutes for 2 burgers and 2 portions of chips when the restaurant was half-full.
S. S.Had a great breakfast after staying overnight. It kept me going for the rest of the day. Staff friendly and helpful.
S. H.Terrible lighting on the balcony, dim so the diners can actually see the castle;
Ditch the 70s placemats and replace with crisp white tablecloths;
Source matching cutlery and ensure it's polished, water stains are offputting;
Find a bartender who can make a cocktail, if you pitch them on your menu you must deliver;
Your food itself is actually fine, it's the peripherals you need to attend to.
m. o. l.The location is superb, service excellent and food delicious. We were looked after by Nikoletta who was so kind. Not very cheap place but worth it for special occasions. Great experience overall.
M.Great atmosphere and beautiful views. Fantastic service and food!
M. F.Absolutely wonderful fine dining. Great flavors and presentation. The well-seasoned portions are small but surprisingly filling. Excellent lattes in the afternoon.
I. K.Light b/fast only available - cream tea and some cakes. Also not serving Flat white, only Latte and Americano's. Prices ok, just like in any other NT or EH place. If you want a proper b/fast, should do into small bistro next door.
a. s.Good value meal. We were luckily sat at the window and had a great view of the castle.
M. H.Beautiful place with the delightful view of the castle, beautiful food and attentive staff , just feel very let down by the lack of dress code , being surrounded by people on holiday dressed in trainers and very casual clothing some keeping their packer macs on as if they we're in mc Donalds not in a beautiful Resturant, sadly felt very out of place as we had dressed for a celebration dinner . Would love to return for another meal at another time when they learn to dress appropriately for an evening meal
K. L.Food was nice but the menu lacked creativity. Very efficient and friendly staff.
J. B.Amazing setting, with fantastic views of Leeds Castle. The menu is broad, and interesting. The building is lovely, clean, and well laid out, and the staff are attentive and prompt.
S. B.Great view for a nice light lunch, out on the deck if the weather is good.
S. P.Not the best experience with the food and the menu is abit restricted. The service wasn't great either by the male waiters. He had attitide like he didnt want to serve at all. Nice view from the outside space. In general it was an OK experience. Not sure I will visit except for the view at sunset.
B. B.Great food atmosphere and view castle
C. B.Very nice afternoon tea in a lovely room with views over the castle. We could have sat outside on the terrace but chose not to due to it being wasp season!
I. C.Food was first class and they successfully catered for allergies.Staff attentive but discreet.
S. O.Great location. Lovely food and good service.
Fully recommended
M. W.Amazing food, fantastic venue, impeccable service. The maitre d' is a professional to the core with an eye for detail and a memory for the important. I would recommend highly. A wonderful experience from beginning to end. Thank you
G. I.Fantastic setting and food to match.
Generous portions and a good selection.
I would recommend Castle View Restaurant and will definitely be returning.
