Found this one through Trip Advisor too! Good food, good location, great service and modest prices. Well worth the visit.

iI have been a visitor to the Castle Restaurant for approx 4 years, it is always on my "thing to do" list when visiting Bude and has to be some of the best value around for a lunchtime treat.

We were given a gift voucher to visit this local restaurant, and although we have no complaints about the food - excellent - or the views - stunning, we must comment upon the slow service. We waited for 35 minutes for a starter when there was only one other cover in the room. This suggests that the kitchen is too... More

Nice location, interesting building, lots going for it, but absolutely dreadful. Felt a bit sorry for the sole waitress covering the restaurant, and the bar, not that there are many tables. We arrived, were seated, then waited. And waited. And waited some more. Eventually, waitress came to take orders. Then we waited. And waited. And waited some more. When our... More

Went here for Mother's Day lunch, first impressions were quite good, light airy place and waitress had a pleasant manner and attentive enough. The restaurant seems to lack atmosphere, and they could of made an effort to dress the tables with small vases of spring flowers for attention to detail but did not bother! The food was of a pretty... More

Hi, Like the reviewer below, we also went on Valentine's night - despite us being the only table of 4! And we can totally agree with the 5 star reviews. Superb food, lovely atmosphere, local produce, excellent cider, and a very charming, attentive and pleasant waitress who we chatted with for quite a while at the end. Definately 5 well... More

We went here for valentines night, we came all the way from Torquay because we think it is worth it. We have been a few times now and we love it. The food is out of this world, the staff are always friendly and the chef is fantistic at what he does. We can`t fault this place at all. We... More

We have been to the Castle for dinner a few times now and every time it has been fantastic. The staff are friendly and attentive and the menu is always changing. If you can, get the 7 course taster menu - its wonderful and really good fun. They also have a lunch time deal which we sometimes go for on... More
