Castleton
has held 2 AA rosettes since 2004, grouping it amongst Scotland's
elite restaurants. |
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

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 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
and pet the pigs.
Guests are 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. |
