picture of Castle
A most agreeable watering-hole, and one well in keeping with the village atmosphere (in the pre-estate-agent abuse of the word) of Harrow-on-the-Hill. There are two, fairly spartan, bars, with newspapers provided, as well a dark and elegant room, intended primarily, but not exclusively, for diners. There are fine real ales (often including a guest ale as well as several of Fuller's own), and a respectable selection of bottled beers too. The internal fittings are real period pieces, mainly, we think, from the 1930s, too, making this a most atmospheric boozer. The bar staff are friendly, as are the regulars. The outdoor drinking area, which climbs the hill, must be one of the best beer gardens in Greater London. All in all, the Castle is a sound local, and well worth making a trip to visit.
