The Sun and Castle has an aviary in the front seating area so the chirping of the birds is audible throughout the pub, not that this is a bad thing. This is a Holts pub so the two handpumps on the bar the runs up the left wall were both drawing Bitter and the usual keg for this chain was also available. Seating runs up the right wall and at the rear is a small raised seating are next to a stage that had some strange macabre magician scene set-up using manikins and other props. Televisions, including a big screen are available for airing important sporting events such as Halifax v Chesterfield. There is also a left hand bar where more seating, a pool table and a dartboard can be found. This isn’t somewhere that I’ll be rushing back to revisit.

A smart Holts pub which is much bigger on the inside that it looks. There's a lounge area to the left where there are 2 budgies in a cage. The main room has a small raised area to the left and a small stage which is used for karaoke. A good looking carpet, lots of wood and several prints around the walls. 2 handpumps on the bar, but only Holts Bitter available, which was a well kept pint. It's a good traditional pub, I liked this one.

A Holts pub with the feel of a really old traditional local, unchanged for generations, though a closer look suggests that there have been changes all right, but done with the care and attention to detail which is typical of this brewer. Quite a large room with a long bar, but there are railings and screens marking out individual areas and leaving an area for standing drinkers. Just two hand pumps, with Holts Bitter and IPA.
