About

Housed in the heart of Kent’s countryside, Leeds Castle offers a historic backdrop and sprawling grounds that offers something for every occasion, whether you’re looking for an action-packed family day out or romantic getaway. Here, you'll also find Castle View Restaurant, a rather spectacular dining experience situated on the grounds and boasting, as the name would suggest, stunning castle views. Come evening, the castle lights up the night sky, offering unparalleled views as you dine.

Castle View Restaurant has found the perfect balance of contemporary design with nods to a more rustic history. Exposed brick walls, terra cotta tiles and floor-to-ceiling windows give the impression of outdoor dining, creating a relaxed and refined space to enjoy your food.

An a la carte menu is available, alongside a selection of light bites, if you’re just looking to enjoy a drink and a couple of nibbles. Dishes use local and seasonal ingredients, with artfully plated cuisine that showcases the team's creativity. Tuck into the likes of crunchy squid rings with split tomato and sherry vinegar salsa, baked camembert with grilled sourdough or chorizo sausage with basil sour cream, if you're wanting something a tad lighter.

For the full works, you can expect dishes such as grilled Dorset mackerel and Moroccan lamb kofta to start, with braised pork belly or confit duck leg to follow. Complete your evening with something sweet, with classic, and rather indulgent, desserts including a glazed lemon tart with raspberry sorbet or a chocolate delice with crushed peanut and banana ice cream. On the drinks front, expect a selection of extravagant cocktails, or choice of red, white or rose, with spirits and beers if that's more your style.

The restaurant is only open in the evenings, and will occasionally be closed for private events, so be sure to book in advance.
