The Royal Toby - Castledon

A lovely afternoon tea in a beautiful dining room. There were cheese and onion sandwiches, ham and mustard and cream cheese and cucumber. A small sausage roll. The assortment of cakes was amazing and a lovely fresh scone with jam and clotted cream. Washed down by several cups of tea. My only moan was that I would have preferred a choice of sandwich fillings. However, it was a lovely afternoon.

We are staying at the hotel as guests and we had a light bite yesterday, we were so impressed with the quality of the food and service we also booked for the Sunday roast which did not disappoint. Despite being extremely busy the waitresses and bar staff were fantastic and we were never kept waiting for anything. Great value with options for two or three courses. If we are in the area again we will be sure to call by.

Smelled awful, old and musty, out of 4 people one liked the meal, one person had salmon that overcooked it was hard at both ends, I wasn't paying or I would have sent for manager, must add the ice cream was delicious Grampa Greens. Sorry used to be the place to go few years back but won't be returning.

The Glutenfree Afternoon Tea is on the left. Everything was delicious and there was more than enough. We ended up taking some home. I would recommend going.

I am writing an updated review following my visit last week, where I was not particularly satisfied with the service or the food. However, David Wood, the General Manager, reached out to me personally to invite me back and address my concerns from my previous experience. I'm delighted to share that this time around, the service from all the staff was outstanding; they were very attentive and accommodating. The food exceeded my expectations, as they took my feedback into consideration and made the recommended changes. The steak was cooked to perfection, and the prawn salad looked beautiful served in a crystal bowl. I left the restaurant feeling confident that I would return. Thank you for being receptive to my concerns!
