The Castle
Originally constructed as the Cross Keyes Inn, the establishment was renamed as Castle Inn in 1821. Today, it is known as the Village Inn & Kitchen, a name it adopted after its transformation into an Ember Inn in 2005. The Village Inn & Kitchen now specializes in food, offering a variety of culinary delights to its patrons. In the past, the Sandal Bowling Club, which is located adjacent to the Village Inn & Kitchen, was part of the pub's property. This historical connection adds to the rich heritage of the establishment. In addition to its regular menu, the Village Inn & Kitchen also offers tasting platters. These platters come with three one-third pint glasses, allowing customers to sample a variety of beverages. This unique offering is a testament to the establishment's commitment to providing a diverse and enjoyable dining experience. The Village Inn & Kitchen's evolution from the Cross Keyes Inn to its current incarnation is a story of adaptation and growth. The establishment's focus on food, its historical connection to the Sandal Bowling Club, and its unique tasting platters all contribute to its distinct identity. Whether you're a local or a visitor, the Village Inn & Kitchen offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a taste of history.
