Very historical! Sometimes castles are renovated and done up with interiors and furniture which I really enjoy but every so often it is nice to see a castle in it’s more natural state. It’s been around for hundreds of years so it would have no furniture and be a little ruined which is what gives it it’s charm and appeal. It isn’t a huge castle so really won’t take you too long to look around but it’s situated sort of on a cliff and there are some cannons to see which are pretty cool. It’s a sweet castle and very popular in Rye.

As a family of four we found this a welcome pub. Everything from the free bar snacks, to friendly staff. We ordered the traditional Sunday roast. 2 large and 2 kids portions which were half price. The food was excellent, tasty and lots of it. This plus Harvey’s ale on tap made for a lovely day out. Will come again. Only downside was price, £10 for a Sunday roast, £3.50 for a pint and £5.50 for a glass of house red seemed a tiny steep but all was worth it in the end and the town itself was beautiful.

I’ve been going to this pub for beers and a bite to eat for over 10 years now as my monthly trips to Rye usually lead to a pint with my parents. Good service and well-kept ales are always on hand, and its decent size means there’s usually space for everyone. The meals I’ve had in the«Wipers» have been great for quality and value(hence the photo of a delicious dressed crab uploaded to this profile), and usually use the freshest seasonal ingredients the area has to offer. Seafood’s usually the speciality, especially during the Rye Scallop Festival, and the shared platter is well worth trying if you have a few fellow fish-eating foodies with you. You’ll definitely have to book early for a Sunday lunch in my experience. The pub’s very comfortable, whether you’re sat by the fire in winter or in the big beer garden in the summer, and if you’re looking for entertainment then visit on a Friday when local bands take centre stage.
