Castle Sleeper Castle Inn - Rutland

The service and food at this restaurant were outstanding. We booked for an 18th birthday and were well taken care of. The owner and staff were professional and polite, serving delicious food in a timely manner for our group of 12. We will definitely be returning as there is a wide variety of options to choose from. This place is a hidden gem and I wish I had discovered it sooner. They offer a fresh pizzeria where you can customize your own pizza, a sushi bar, traditional pub fare, and gourmet dishes as well.

We were greeted by disinterested staff upon arrival, which set the tone for the rest of our dining experience. While the drinks were good and the main dish was tasty, the starter was small. Unfortunately, no staff checked in to see if we were enjoying our meal, and we were not offered a dessert menu or any coffees. Additionally, there were no alternative milk options available. Overall, it was a disappointing experience at what could have been a wonderful venue.

My wife and I ate there last night with our two kids and one of their friends. They had a huge table of about 20 eating and unfortunately forgot to cook one of our kids pizzas. They sorted it straightaway and offered to take that one off our bill as a gesture of goodwill. The waiter was superb. Pizzas were delicious and my wife’s ravioli off the special menu was superb, as was my spaghetti with prawns, chilli garlic. Great food at sensible prices. Not sure why they’ve introduced a Japanese menu at rather hefty prices. Doesn’t seem the right place for this.

Fabulous fresh made pizzas, the best I’ve eaten in a very long time. Superb staff to, such a friendly place can highly recommend.

I booked for 4 of us for my partners birthday meal, when we arrived the restaurant was quite empty just us and another 2 tables. We ordered our 4 mains and only 2 arrived, they did not tell us there was a problem with the pizza oven we were just told the pizzas would be with us soon. They arrived when the other two mains were nearly finished, not what you expect when you go out for a meal together. We then waited over 20 minutes for them to ask if we would like to look at the dessert menu, when the waitress came to the table she asked if we preferred cream or ice cream, all of us replied ice cream. The desserts arrived with whipped cream I pointed this out and was told we can get you the ice cream, they turned up at the table 5 minutes later with ice cream for 1. When we went to pay the bill the gentleman at the till told us he knew nothing of the problems even though my partner had heard one of his staff explaining the problems to him. His response was what do you want me to do discount your bill, that is not for us to tell you, surely the lack of good service was not acceptable, the food was good although took its time to get to us. BY THE WAY NO DISCOUNT GIVEN.
