This was a relatively new discovery to us, but the Castle has a really good selection of ales – roughly 8 on the night we visited, but usually a bit less because it seems to go quickly. Apart from one seriously dodgy pint – which was happily, if suspiciously changed – the beers are excellent. Initially I sought out the pub because it sells Nethergate ales, but only one in three visits resulted in actually finding any.
The interior is very standard with exposed wooden floorboards and there’s mostly only standing room. Being in the City, it gets packed on Thursday and Friday nights.
