I went to this pub for the first time last week to have dinner with friends. It's got a good vibe, reasonable sized outdoor area and a bistro.

Cool pub hidden in Newtown's backstreets. Has a comfortable, homely feel to it.

Seeking honest pub tucker with a twist? Take refuge in Newtown's back streets.

Don't worry about the score. I like Carlisle Castle Bistro because it's simple, affordable, does the basics well, then throws in something a bit different. Think pig's trotter fritters with horseradish aioli ($13.50). The waitress jokingly offered us extra plates on the condition we washed them up afterwards. And that's when they have a waitress. It's that kind of place. I've been eating lots of pub food lately so, yes, my life is all beer and skittles. I wish. For the most part, it's pub grub in the pejorative sense, making a kebab from a caravan seem gourmet. The British fad for gastro pubs has yet to take hold here.
