Castleton has been held
3 AA rosettes since 2004, grouping it amongst Scotland's
elite restaurants.
t is Castleton's policy to be welcoming and
hospitable at all times, so for this reason we do not impose a dress code,
we employ 100% local staff and despite the accolades keep our prices low.
We believe a fine dinner is more than just great food, it is the service
and atmosphere too. We must be right, because it is appreciation of
this that fills our guest book time after time after time.
Lunch is served Monday -
Saturday between 12 and 2pm.
Currently (1st May 2008) our lunch menu offers
starters and deserts at £6.50, and Main courses at £15 each.
As well as our house menu we also serve a
light lunch menu that includes homemade soup, salad, rib-eye of Scotch
Beef and house sandwiches. These dishes are individually and very
keenly priced.
Sunday lunch
Menu includes
Roasted Free Range, Dry
Plucked Maryfield chicken and Roast Pork with crackling from our own
home reared Tamworth pigs
and
is currently priced at £25 for 3 courses.
|
Our regular Dinner menu
is £30
for two courses
and
£35 for
three courses
including an amuse bouche
Coffee and homemade petit fours.
Our menus change
regularly but not entirely; it is more of a rolling change as seasonal
ingredients come and go.

I Our
sources are as close to home as we can get them, and none can be closer
than our own vegetable garden and free range chickens. Castleton is particularly proud to serve home reared Tamworth
pork, raised on our own ground and fed on windfall apples from the orchard
and home grown vegetables all washed down with Strathmore spring water
that naturally fills their water trough - what luxury. Guests are welcome
to meet the pigs and take them for a walk through the woods, they scamper
about and will roll over for a tummy scratch to melt even the hardest
hearts.
 As if free range chickens eggs weren't enough we
also now have free range QUAILS eggs too!
Guests are most welcome to wander about the kitchen
garden and sample the fruits from apples and cherries
to strawberries and raspberries.
During the summer, free range eggs can be bought from the hotel as can
bunches of snowdrops, daffodils and sweet peas when in season.
