Our son decided to treat us to a new restaurant venue for our wedding anniversary. We were delighted he had chosen this establishment. It was a lovely setting, just outside the Leeds Castle grounds in Kent. On this day, it wasn't particularly busy, so we had a reasonably quiet setting with a magnificent view of the castle from the terrace. The service here was exemplary. The staff were very attentive. We were able to choose from the evening menu, and this was bought out in virtually no time at all. My son had the battered fish, my wife, the beefburger, and I the 8oz Ribeye steak. All were very well presented. I have given 4 stars because I wanted a medium cooked steak and received medium rare. Also, the chips I received had quite a few bits of batter in them. This suggests that either they've used the same vat to cook the fish and chips. Or, they stored the chips in the same area/tray as the fish. This did not though spoil the meal. Hats to the pastry chef!! The deserts were absolutely gorgeous. No complaints there. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. The service is impeccable. I would definitely recommend it. You will need to book, as this requires a gated entry at most times of the day.

I went to Castle View Restaurant with my mother for lunch last Tuesday, and we had such a fantastic experience. For Lunch, I had a jacket potato with baked beans, but I asked to not have the side of dressed leaves as I don't like salad dressing at all and the waitress completely understood, which was great. My mother ordered a jacket potato also but with cheese and coleslaw and side salad, and both our dishes arrived at our table in precisely six minutes; I've never been served so fast at any other restaurant before. My jacket potato was really tasty and because I had no side salad, i got extra baked beans! I would like to thank all the waiters and waitresses in the restaurant for being so efficient and serving our food so well with a smile on their faces.

Lovely food with an amazing view of the castle. Apparently they had a new menu, we had crab pate and the mackerel which were both lovely and amazingly presented, mains we had confit duck which was delicious. Wish there was just a bit of green on the plate but other than that can't moan as it was all cooked perfectly and the flavours were amazing!

I had a solo meal while staying for the evening. Staff were friendly and welcoming, attentive and professional. I didn't have to wait for service, the whole team worked well together and everything flowed perfectly. The duck was cooked to perfection and the lemon tart was the best I've tasted in a long while. The ambiance and dining room itself was well laid out. I will be booking to go back again.
