At the Castle we recognise that a good Head Chef is a key ingredient to our success. You’ll build a kitchen to be proud of, leading your team to thrive whatever the shift throws at them (not literally!).

Join us at Vintage Inns, a collection of rural pubs where muddy boots and paws are welcome. You’ll find roaring log fires, traditional food and a cosy atmosphere. If you want to be part of the Inn crowd, we want to hear from you.

Situated in Castleton for hundreds of years, the Castle is steeped in local legends.  An integral part of the local community, we were also a stop-off point for the Wellington Express coach, which travelled between Manchester and Sheffield in the 1800's, now a stop of guests wanting to soak up the view in an exceptional garden and enjoy our fab menu. 

The is a great hotel as part of our Innkeepers Collection that is being refurbished in September 2021.
