About This Pub
You know, when you step into the Castle in Droitwich, it's like finding that reliable local spot where everything just clicks without any fuss. The food really stands out – think proper pub grub that's freshly grilled and packed with flavour, and it's all at prices that won't break the bank, making it a winner for a casual meal. The staff are an absolute delight, always on hand with a smile and quick to sort you out, which adds to that warm, homely feel. It's brilliant for watching the footie or any live sports in a chilled atmosphere, and being dog-friendly and family-oriented means it's perfect if you're bringing the little ones or your furry friend along. On the downside, it might not be the place if you're after a buzzing, lively vibe – it's more geared towards a relaxed crowd, and the menu, while solid, doesn't offer a huge range of options for those wanting something a bit more exciting. All in all, with its solid reputation, it's a dependable choice for a good time, where the good bits far outweigh the minor niggles, so I'd say give it a go for a proper pub experience.

I went here for a Friday dinnertime meet up and was surprised at how many came here to eat. There must be deal on or the food is excellent, I don't know which. They do a decent pint of San Miguel and the atmosphere was fine, but not loud. On our visit it was predominantly more older people, which is probably to expected in this area. I'd happily go there again.
The Castle Pub is a Westerosi wonder, a true gem for any weary traveler seeking respite in the Seven Kingdoms of fine dining and ale. From the moment you step through its iron-clad doors, it’s as if you’ve been transported to the heart of King’s Landing, minus the scheming Lannisters. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between the rustic charm of Winterfell’s great hall and the opulence of the Red Keep, with flickering candlelight and sturdy wooden tables that could withstand a Dothraki horde.
The staff, as welcoming as Samwell Tarly with a fresh-baked loaf, treat you like a Stark returned from beyond the Wall. Their knowledge of the menu rivals that of a maester’s scrolls, guiding you through a feast fit for Robert Baratheon himself. Speaking of the grub, the food is nothing short of legendary—think dragon-roasted meats and hearty stews that could fuel Jon Snow’s Night’s Watch patrols. The “Mother of Dragons” burger, stacked high with fiery spices, is a fiery triumph that would make Daenerys proud, while the “Hodor’s Pie” is a comforting, hold-the-door masterpiece of flaky crust and savory filling.
The drink selection is as vast as the Narrow Sea, with ales and meads that could loosen even Tyrion Lannister’s tongue. Their house-brewed “Night King’s Frost” IPA chills the soul with crisp, bold flavors, and the “Wildling’s Red” wine flows as freely as a Tormund Giantsbane tale. Every sip feels like a toast to victory at the Battle of the Bastards.
The Castle Pub isn’t just a pub—it’s a throne of hospitality, a place where you’ll feel like the rightful heir to good times. Whether you’re a lord, a sellsword, or just a wandering bard, this is one keep you’ll want to defend with all your honor. Five ravens out of five—long may it reign!
