review on beerintheevening.com added 01/12/07

" Tucked away in the Lincolnshire countryside this is an excellent friendly village place, with 3 real ales on hand pull along with Leffe on draught. Nice separation of eating and drinking so you don't feel either party is being imposed upon. Food is also top notch and worth visiting for in its own right (Steak and Guiness has to be tried!) Beer festivals held periodically. " ... t maycock, 13/04/07

peterborough evening telegraph Review added 23/10/05

The Castle Inn, in Castle Bytham, received a write up in the Peterborough Evening Telegraph on Wednesday 17 September 2003.

At the time The Castle was owned and managed by Barbara Cooper who took over when Gary and Jill Ward relocated to Greece. In the summer of 2005 the pub changed hands again when Jonathan and Charlotte took the pub on.

Described as being "welcoming, serving up a good selection of beers in the lounge bar, and home-cooked dishes, including fish, steaks and Sunday roasts in the restaurant" the full article is reproduced below ...

" Inn Step with People's Needs

Ramblers are among the many people who are attracted to The Castle Inn, a country pub in the idyllic setting of Castle Bytham. The village, situated about nine miles north of Stamford, is a central area for popular walks, such as Morkery Wood and the Yew Tree Avenue in nearby Clipsham.

And the 300-year-old, stone-built pub provides a warm welcome for everyone, including children and dogs. Owner Barbara Cooper sees to it that everyone is greeted with a"hello" when they enter The Castle Inn.

The lounge bar - a smoking area - features an open log, or coal, fire, ideal for the cooler days ahead. It's where customers can enjoy a "good beer", which is something Barbara is keen on providing, and with a regular turnover or ales. Currently on offer are the "local" brew known as The Grain Store Cooking, Thwaites Bomber County and the Scottish Tiafial.

A selection of cocktails are available at the bar.

"We are also collecting ideas of cocktails from people" said Barbara.

The lounge bar offers snacks, which can be eaten in the bar or in the restaurant, and vice versa. A no smoking area, the recently decorated restaurant caters for up to 40 diners who appreciate Barbara's home-cooked dishes.

Key among these are fish courses, which includes the likes of swordfish, halibut and sea bass. Steak dishes are also on the menu and by special request, Barbara will prepare, for example beef Wellington. There are also vegetarian and vegan offerings, and should any diner suffer from gluten allergies, they will be easily catered for.

Sunday lunches are traditional roasts, using English meat and, wherever possible, locally-grown fresh fruit and vegetables. The roast beef is cooked in wine or ale, while the roast pork is cooked with apricots, almonds and sultanas; or strawberries and black pepper. The lamb is minted with "secret seasonings".

Barbara is also keen on what she refers to as "good old English grub", such as beef stew, dumplings and her special apple crumble. Cheesecakes and lemon meringue pie are other choices on the desserts front.

Decent quaffing house wines include styles from France, Italy and the New World. Fitou, Merlot and Pinot Noir number among the reds, Chardonnay and Chablis the whites, and the sparkling wines include Tattinger, Lanson Black Label and a dry sparkling Chardonnay. "
