This week we're focussing on The Castle Inn in Castle Hill, Axminster.

Reopened and redecorated in May 2021 by Paul and Sharon, this old fashioned looking public house is full of surprises and has plenty to offer its patrons.

A traditional drinking bar offers live sports, live music, board games and a warm welcome, and a restaurant area seats 14-16 people with a relaxed lamp and mirror decor.

There is also a large garden, newly decorated in 2022, with smoking and non smoking areas.

The Castle offers lots of individuality throughout the building, with local crafts, arts and quirky touches like its Charity Wall and King and Queen.

Food is served 12.30pm-9pm daily, all home cooked on site with gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options available.

The bar and garden are dog friendly, with children also welcome when eating with families.

The Castle Inn has plenty of events coming up, including live music, a Burns Night celebration an Valentine's Day dinner. See our What's On page for full details.
