The Windsor Castle, Milton, Weston Super Mare

A decent and traditional pub located on the outskirts of Weston, it makes a welcome change from all the rather trashy bars in the centre. It’s a good sized pub, with a long, single bar at the front. To the left is a pool table, with a small LCD TV on the wall. Opposite the bar there are a couple of fruit machines and a larger plasma, and in the right hand corner is a dart board. Decor consists of a dark green painted wallpaper on the lower half of the walls, with unpainted wallpaper above. The ceiling is that curious sandy colour you get in pubs, presumably designed to hide the nicotine stains. Flooring was mostly carpet, with a few tiles around the wood panelled bar. At the rear was a far more contemporary area that looked to be more geared up for dining, with freshly painted maroon walls, a whitewashed ceiling and large doors opening out on to the patio. There looked to be further seating upstairs, although I did not investigate this. There was an attractive beer garden at the back which was a very pleasant spot on a recent sunny afternoon. Beers on tap were 6X, Butcombe and Doom Bar. Ciders were Blackthorn, Bulmers and Thatcher’s Gold.

A very good menu, the food was great and the staff were extremely helpful. A good selection of real ales, including Sharps 'Doom bar'. Pretty busy at lunchtimes but service still good. In the summer there is a nice garden and terrace with great views over the town and to the Mendips
