Ypres Castle, Rye

After a failed attempt to visit the Owl in nearby Camber, we returned to Rye to try the Ypres Castle Inn. It can be quite difficult to find. Although, once you can locate the Ypres Tower itself, there are some steps down to the pub and its garden, which nestles under the ramparts. There was a reasonable selection of ales, including a dark beer. Rother Valley Ypres Castle Bitter is the regular ale. Guests were Collar Head Flapjack Stout, West Malling Kent Pale & Surrey Hills Greensand IPA. The real cider was Nightingale Falstaff Bramley, another new one for me. The pub is a typical local construction, being weatherboarded. When we tried to pronounce Ypres, we were repeatedly corrected by locals for whom it is simply known as Wipers. Another decent pub in Rye.
