The Castle Tavern

You're standing on View Place with the castle looming above you, and The Castle Tavern is exactly where you'd want to be. This is the kind of place where the barmaid remembers your order, the wood panelling has absorbed about three decades of good nights out, and you'll find yourself shoulder-to-shoulder with everything from office workers to construction crews. The food's honest and hearty — pies, steaks, fresh fish — at prices that won't make you wince. It's got that rare thing: proper atmosphere without trying too hard.
