OUR STORY
Welcome to The Castle Inn
Our Heritage
A Pub with a Story
The Castle Inn is more than a gastropub, it’s part of Hurst’s heritage. Dating back to the 16th century, it began as the Church House, raising funds for St. Nicholas Church across the road. Over time, it evolved into a beloved village inn, even welcoming royalty on the adjoining bowling green.
Today, as a Grade II listed landmark, The Castle Inn blends historic charm with modern hospitality, a cosy spot for locals and visitors alike.
Cooking has been my passion since childhood. Over the years, I’ve honed my craft in some of the country’s most prestigious, award-winning pubs and restaurants, always dreaming of creating a place of my own.
In March 2013, that dream became reality when my wife and I took over The Castle Inn. Today, we’re proud to be a family-run gastropub with a close knit team dedicated to serving fresh, flavourful dishes made from local and seasonal produce.
We believe great food starts with the finest ingredients, so we prepare as much as possible right here on site. Our goal is simple: quality and consistency in everything we do.
