Castle View Restaurant Exciting Refurbishment Update!

We have fantastic news to share – our restaurant is undergoing a stunning transformation. The refurbishment journey begins on 29th April and will continue until early June 2024. Please note that The Stable Café will be temporarily closed starting 29th April and will reopen in late May 2024.

Not to worry though! While The Stable Café receives its makeover, our guests can still enjoy a selection of tea, coffee, sandwiches, and snacks at our outlets in the charming Stable Yard. Furthermore, delicious coffee and tea options will also be available at the Castle View Restaurant.
