Reviews For The Belle Vue, Papcastle

Beautiful Sunday lunch. 4 gorgeous mains all tasted like they were cooked at home!! Lots of vegetables, as a vegetarian that was like heaven for me!! I only gave a 4 rating for the service, simply because the young girl needed a bit more conversation. We were told that the owners have only been there for 5 weeks, so, carry on cooking like that and you should have no problems. We are already discussing when to return!! Thankyou!

Beautiful old pub. The food was one of the best pub meals I've ever had! We both chose the pot roast, and it didn't disappoint! Dogs are welcome here

I called in today and I was pleasantly surprised to be told anything done in batter was Gluten Free along with the chips. Being a Coeliac this was music to my ears as any other Coeliacs will know. I chose the lite bite fish and chips @ 12. It was delicious and more than enough for me.The service was lovely and will certainly be visiting again. Highly recommend

The Belle View pub has recently got new owners so living in the village we were eager to pay it a visit. Going in only 1 hour after its opening could have been risky but the welcome we received was warm and friendly and we were very happy with all aspects of our meal. The menu was varied and the food as cooked fresh to order. I had fish and chips and the batter was lovely. Not too thick and no hint of grease. Husband had the ham hock which was tender and flavoursome. Looks like the pub which has always been well loved by its locals is back to doing what it does best. Pay a visit, we will definitely come back again.
