About Castle
Pub since 1832, now with chic exposed brick and cushions, serving British cuisine and local beers.
Reopened in April 2014 after extensive refurbishment. This comfortable well run single-bar Young's pub dates from 1832. Various tables and benches provide several options for dining. Six handpumps dispense 4 regular beer plus a guest along with a cider. The large garden is especially popular. An inscription in the front part of the pub details some of the pub's history as a music hall venue in the 1950s and 1960s when Danny Kaye and Peter Sellers were among the featured artists. The pub hosted the Tooting Blues Club in the 1970s which saw performances from some of the well known bands of the day, including the Faces and Mott the Hoople. The Castle is a couple of minutes walk from Tooting Broadway Undergrond Station, across the road from the covered market and well placed for Tooting's many South Asian restaurants. Guest beer from Young's range.

Amazing food, great ambience, one of the cleanest pubs I’ve been to and with good bartenders the experience of wine acts as a catalyst to the meal. Highly recommended, take your girls out on a date or your family for your celebration, these guys have it all!

We stopped by early Sunday for lunch, wanting something other than a roast. Service was very friendly and efficient, personal but not too invasive: Lucy was wonderful. We chose a burger, hake with samphire and sausage and mash for the little one. All very good, with the hake being the stand out dish. Young’s food can sometimes be a bit hit and miss yet costly, but today was great. It was getting pretty busy by the time we left at 1.30, so felt relaxed and happy with our quieter family meal in the sunny dining room.

This place has a great vibe and I would recommend it for sure. The only downside side was the food at the burger shack was very average and overpriced for what you got. Drinks were great though.

Was the first glimpse of summer yesterday so went to the castle. Beers were good and they have a great selection. The food was a bit hit and miss. My friends. Vegetarian and had the plant burger. He said it was good and did finish it but he finishes everything. I went for sausages and mash. To be honest it was a bit bland. The sausages were a good size but lacked flavour and texture. Felt closer to a European style sausage than a traditional Cumberland or Lancashire. It was swamped in gravy which was ok but slightly under seasoned I’d say. And the mash wasn’t creamy and soft but part mash…

Unexpectedly really nice. The pictures of peoples food on the reviews doesn’t do it justice. I had the meat burger and it was so juicy! I would come back again. I also got the sticky toffee and banana pudding for desert.
