Blue Scrumpy left this review about Castle Eden Inn
The Castle Eden Inn is now entered from the side of the building on the roadside. The main front door facing the car park has been blocked off. Entering from the road, the bar is off to the left, with a light and airy room to the right. Both rooms had both drinkers and diners. Although the room to the right appeared to be favoured by the diners. It did also contain TVs showing sport, which seemed a little odd. Even further off to the left is a more formal dining room, which I didn't explore.
The real ale range was a little disappointing, with just Black Sheep Best Bitter & Morland Old Speckled Hen available.

Old Boots left this review about Castle Eden Inn
A three roomed old coaching inn although not quite as olde worlde inside or out as that suggests. Entering from the car park you arrive at a comfortable lounge with sofas, bench seating and chairs and tables, broken a little with stained glass and wood dividers, there's a big screen telly on one wall. Passing through into the next room is the counter with five hand pumps, 3 in use with a well kept Sonnet 43 beer on each. The national keg favourites are catered for on a couple of T-bars and some single founts. There are more sofas, tables and chairs in here too. Decor is trendy grey and a vaguely art nouveau wall paper. There are some photos and prints of Durham cathedral and other subjects which appear to be for sale. Beyond is a more formal dining room with fake ceiling beams and more stained glass dividers. Default glass for cask beers seems to be the dreaded mug but mine was changed for a tulip without any histrionics. I wouldn't call this a gastro-pub as previous reviewers or ranters have indicated, including what looks suspiciously like a previous landlord attempting to big the place up. The food is fine, the beer is very good (GBG2016 listed) but it still attracts local drinkers rather than just foodies.
