The Castle is as the name suggests immediately adjacent to the grade 1 ruins of Halton Castle. The pub itself is the 18th century grade 2* listed courthouse. There are magnificent views towards both Liverpool and Cheshire.

This pub has seen a welcome return to real ale being served. There are three rooms downstairs, each with an open fire hearth. Upstairs there is a function room with a small bar (no real ale).

Food available as listed - traditional roast dinners on Sunday.

The pub is committed to always having at least one local beer on the bar all of the time.

The pub is led by a young team with a real passion for good ale and great food. A place to watch ... possibly the best place to eat in Runcorn.

Nearby is the Chesshye Library, one of the earliest free library's in England.

Historic Interest

Built in 1070 for Nigel, First Norman Baron of Halton. The present ruins are believed to be 13th century. The pub itself is the 18th century converted courthouse.
