    Fantastic, we went there on the 20th Sept 08 for my partners birthday. The food was excellent, and the prices not over the top.Sitting at the table with just candle lights burning the sound of soft exotic music as we looked out over Redruth & Camborne it was an evening to cherish, looking forward to the next time. maybe mid winter

    My partner and I travelled from Bristol to go to this restaurant, we weren't disappointed. The castle itself is set on an eerie hilltop, which reminded me of scenes out of Wuthering Heights. It is the ideal place to have a romantic meal, although families seemed to really enjoy it too, especially as the owner seems to remember people who have visited previously.

    If I could give you one tip, it would be to have the mezze, we were told in advance to have this, but we failed to order it in advance so couldn't get it. If you fancy the Mezze, just phone ahead and order it.

    I can't say that the food was the best we have ever had, but we enjoyed ourselves so much because of the setting, and the host, who seems to be quite eccentric, that it just didn't matter.

    Our bill for 2 starters, 2 mains, a pudding and a bottle of house red was £60.

    Book well in advance, only spaces for 24! You won't regret it.

    The first thing to be said about this place is it is an unmissable experience! Even if you didn't like the food the whole thing would be worth it!
    Set in an isolated 19th centruy hunting lodge/folly overlooking Camborne and Redruth some way below, the "castle" has more atmosphere than you can shake a stick at! One can only imagine what it would be like on a windswept winter's evening.

    Anyway, almost forgot the food! Being a veggie I had a mezza which was stuffed vine leaves, humus and pitta and some kind of aubergine dip. All very tasty, could have been more of it though, an extra dish would have made it. Also there was a bit of an overlap with the starters. For future reference, if I went again I'd just pick all the starters and share them with someone.
    Other, meatier food looked pretty good and well cooked. The rest of my party seemed pretty happy with what they had.

    Drinks are a little limited with a choice of house red or house white (I think)

    If you want a dining experience than be sure to add this castle restaurant to your must list! The owner is a Jordanian who took an English wife. The food was well prepared but diffidently spiced from his background not hers. If for no other reason take your best girl to the castle at sunset & warm her blood with a little wine the view and ambiance is grand. To you Americans that wish to follow - getting up to the castle by car is one thing but strap on your seatbelts if you’re headed home after dark!
