The Ypres Castle Inn, known locally as 'The Wipers' has been providing  hospitality to visitors and residents of Rye for centuries. Built originally  in 1640, and added to in Victorian times, the Inn has a warm and friendly  atmosphere, and is built in the local weather boarded style, with colourful  and interesting art and furnishings inside.

The Inn benefits too from having the only garden of any Inn in the central  citadel area of Rye, offering welcome outdoor eating and relaxation during  the warmer months. There is also a boules pitch, and delightful views of  Ypres Castle and the River Rother with its working fishing fleet, just  yards away.

The Ypres is listed in all the major independent guides including 'The Time Out Guide to Eating and Drinking in Great Britain & Ireland, 2004', 'The Good  Pub Guide', 'The Real Ale Guide' and 'The AA guide to Pubs and Inns'. The  Inn prides itself on the quality of its food and seasonally changing menu  which uses local meat, fish, vegetables and other produce as much as  possible. Examples of dishes include Rack of Saltmarsh Lamb with Redcurrant  and Mint Glaze, Fillets of Sea Bass grilled with Lemon and Fresh Garden  Herbs, Turbot with a Sauce Vierge. Additionally there is a lunchtime Bar Menu  of lighter dishes to which are added daily specials.

There are usually four quality real cask conditioned English Ales on sale  and an extensive wine list from all the wine producing regions, and offering  at least twelve by the glass. On Friday nights the atmosphere hots up as we  present live music from 9.30pm encouraging local professional musicians with  jazz, rock and blues bands performing.

We look forward to seeing you in the future - please contact us on the above  number or e-mail for more information or to make a reservation.
