Went in there last night with a friend as a stop off on the way down to LL. Its been tidied up on the inside, all clean tidy and wooden ploors and has new 50 inch flat screen tvs for sport. Seems fine. Good place to watch sport and play a game of pool I guess. Only a few "local" types in there though. Not a bad pub to have a quick pint in if going on elsewhere.

Which half do you want naked, James?


(Were your friends really racially abused? That's really disappointing if true as I know a good mix of people drink in there. Hope it was a rare occurence - it certainly doesn't represent the pub and the majority of it's punters).


Can def recommend the Guinness accompanied by an excellent cheese, onion and salad roll and a packet of salt and vinegar.

I have oft stuck up for the Castle and I will be going again, and would generally agree with Horsebox about a good mix of people in there but I was there last week when a bunch of semi-regulars were beyond racist to the illegal DVD seller


then they bought a shed load of DVDs from him


I'm not trying to pain the Castle or it's punters in a bad light - it's the first I have seen of it there - but I would find it very easy to believe James

The new incarnation looks good and is a great improvement. I like the little "fence" outside that marks out the drinking territory. (or perhaps hides the punters' beer bellies from passers-by. Maybe a if the Forum drinks reaches the CPT in the autumn we can give the Castle another chance and start off with a sly one there.

In the old days (pre marriage and kids) I used to spend many a Saturday afternoon playing pool with mates in dodgy pubs, waiting for the evening to arrive before going pub/clubbing, the Castle would be perfect for that. Think the only other pool table in ED is the Gowlett and as its at the other end of ED so you make your choice.


Castle's new TVs should be great for sport though. Its good to see an improvement. The people who go there won't change and to expect them to change would be unfair, where else would they go, builders have been hunted out of every other pub in ED so thankfully this pub has changed only in the decor.

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
