Places to Eat
Castle Donington has a good variety of eateries. These range from a Gastro Pub, to plain but none the less very good English pub food, taking in Chinese, Indian, Italian, and of course fish and chips from two establishments who also offer pizzas and kebabs.
Morton House Hotel does not offer evening meals but with most of the the above just a five minutes walk away there is plenty of variety both in food and pricing.
