The CRQ team will be working hard to fill these pages with much more relevant and up-to-date news, ideas and information that will help you make the most of your visits to Castle Rock pubs. There will be breaking stories, interesting insights, topical opinions and plenty of useful information about what is forthcoming. We will also save space for some fun too! We hope you enjoy the new format of CRQ and with the lighter nights now upon us and less of a chill in the air (well hopefully!) we have plenty going on and we hope you choose to spend your precious time with us and enjoy what we have to offer down Hi, my name is Pete Hopwell and I’m the at your Castle Rock local.
