The Castle, Walthamstow

I don't usually bother writing reviews but was really shocked by some of the reviews on here - there seems to be a lot of vindictiveness going round the village, which is a shame, as it seems to me that more successful businesses will only help the village.
I did not see the pub before the revamp last year but I really like what they have done with the decor, it feels homely but in a stylish way. The staff members are friendly and helpful, a couple of times now they have gone out of their way to help when I have come in in a large group or when I couldn't decide which wine to drink! My niece loves to stare at the fish in the martini glass on the bar too.
There are still things the manager needs to work on - they could do with a non-alcoholic lager, and I would like to see the DJ every weekend. The addition of the specials board is a positive, and the garden was gorgeous last weekend in the sun.
I hope they listen to the constructive criticism on here and not to all the hate.
