The Royal Toby - Castledon

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.

Went for mother's Day, food was 80% good (veg was either massively undercooked or overcooked) and service was good. I think because it was so busy that it wasn't at its best. But we'd still go again.

So firstly I want to thank the waiting staff and the host, they were superb and very attentive. What did let the experience down of our festive Christmas 3 course lunch, was sadly the food at £20.50 per person it does represent good value for money however as you can see the presentation and quality of the food served in our opinion was woeful. The Prawn cocktail starter was just terrible with zero thought or care given to the items on the plate. Our Main course was brought out and we had ordered 3 Turkey Christmas lunches but we got 3 portions of Salmon ! So that had to be sent back, when the correct food was eventually brought out it was effectively ruined by the over seasoned and way too salty Beef yes Beef gravy that was liberally doused all over the food. Put the gravy into a gravy jug and let your customers decide how much if any gravy they want. Now don't get me wrong as a Rochdale lad I absolutely love gravy but this was even for me, way too salty and clearly made with beef stock. When this was pointed out to the server she did send feedback to the kitchen but they swore blind it was turkey gravy . Our desserts of Christmas pudding were very nice and in fact this was the highlight of the whole meal. I would have gladly paid more for this supposedly special meal and we expected more from this establishment. If you are attending on Christmas Day for the same menu that is priced at £105 per person I wish you the best of luck !
