Castaways

Restaurants in Argassi

      
John M  (11 July 2003)         

well what can i say.........its obvious to me that all the comments about the Scottish waitress are from our "ignorant english cousins???"
We ate in Castaway and never once had any issues with the "Scottish" waitress (in fact we found her service and manner first class) or any of the other staff and the food was also first class.



Sarah F  (11 July 2003)         

May I tak this opportunity to thank all our guests for their comments on their experiences in our restaurant good or bad. We take all information received as consructive citiscism, however should any guests have a grievance please do give us the opportunity to rectify the situation. Myself as the Manager & Peter the Proprietor are always available. We at Castaway's truly beleive that excellent customer service is paramount to providing our guests with a great holiday, memory & we always strive to achieve this. We look forward to continued success & meeting you all in the future. Sarah Foxton (manager)

Jeanette W  (11 July 2003)         

if like us you don't eat much in the day and want a good fill then this is not the place to go,

Tony W  (10 July 2003)         

My daughter Eleanor works as a waitress at Castaways say hello from her dad.

Tracy G  (10 July 2003)         

A quick message to Ian Thompsett - May I point out that my review was an honest opinion of our meal, not 'Hate Mail'. Whether the Scottish Waitress is your friend or not, she gave poor service and ruined our meal. With regards to others' reviews posted on this site I have not conspired with anybody but am glad to hear I am not alone in my bad experience. In terms of being able to do her job - I did do this job in a top London restaurant for 5 years...with a smile!!!
Brainless you say ??? Try using a spell-checker!!! To everybody else wanting an honest UNBIASED opinion - DO NOT GO THERE.

Becky   (10 July 2003)         

We went here a couple of times, but the food is no way excellent. There is a very wide selection of food on the menu but the food is just average-we had much nicer meals elsewhere.

Paul R  (10 July 2003)         

Please do not go to this resturaunt the fahitas are horrible and cold.

Joan G  (09 July 2003)         

Went to Castaway with my husband during our recent stay in Argassi for our 25th anniversary and to be honest the service we experienced was very good, and the restaurant very nice indeed. I had the pizza which was quite nice, although nowhere near as tasty as the one from Big Boys at a fraction of the cost, and my husband had the Lamb with Mustard Mash. He said the Mash was beautiful but the cut of meat not a particularly high standard.

Having read the other comments posted on here could I raise some questions though please.... Three people have seemingly given their opinion on the food and service they have received at Castwaway, and the DJ from the local bar who admits to be 'true' friends with these people is not surprisingly, defending them in a biased fashion. In my opinion he has more reason to lie than the three other holidaymakers, though during our evening we do not recall anyone of the waitresses description serving us.

6/10 - Try it for yourself, or if you want to be a guranteed great food and atmosphere try Stars - it will NOT disappoint!

Ian T  (09 July 2003)         

if you really take any notice of the horrible hate mail put on here regarding the the waitress at castaway, and dont go in then you will truley miss out on a great night's food, high quality service from ALL the staff and a great atmosphere (created by the staff) obviously, the 3 brainless people who were out to proffesionlly complain and have conspired together to victimise one of my true friends really need to get a life sort it out then just ask them self, could you do her job.......i dont think so!

Alex W  (05 July 2003)         

absolutley lovely, we will be visiting again.
great staff, my boyfriend is in a wheelchair and they offered to carry him up the stairs so that we could enjoy our meals.
it was great.

Rachel S  (04 July 2003)         

WE REALLY HATED OUR MEAL AND THE SERVICE AT CASTAWAY. In a word. Crap. The actual setting is rather nice; on a rooftop with a view of the sea, a light breeze blowing onto you in the mild heat, and very pretty surroundings. The restaurant is smart and the prices seem quite good too... So far so good, eh? No. The service we received from the Blonde Freckled Scot was also really terrible, I am glad to hear we are not the only ones as we were taking it personally!! I wonder if she started there recently as I am surprised that A) she still has a job and B) The posting on this site mentioning her are only from the last couple of days. It really ruined it for us. She did ask in all the right places 'What do you want', 'Anything else?', and 'Is that IT?' when taking our order. I was actually scared to ask for anything else as each time I added something to the order she snarled at having to write it down on paper. Whilst we were eating the meal she came over and asked 'Is it okay?' and only out of politeness I replied, 'Lovely Thank You' at which point her bitter face turned to an even bigger sulk, as if she was hoping we were hating it, and our night out in general. She is the poison of Zante, and I wish she had been CASTAWAY somewhere that we had never had to meet her. Why, oh why could we not have been served the girl who attended to the table next to us? Common manners is all it would have taken. Instead we just settled for Common. We still left a tip in fear she may attack us, lets hope they just leash her up before she bites somebody - and lets hope that it isn't what it takes before they realise she needs putting down, for the sake of the restaurant. Food was just okay, but not worth the risk!!

George D  (04 July 2003)         

I agree with you Tracy, me and my wife just got back from Argassi and after having received brilliant service from all of the restaurants we dined in, our meal at Castaways was a real disaster... All thanks to a blonde skinny waitress with freckles who 'served?' us for the better part of our meal, grunting and pulling faces at us like a loggerhead turtle with a sore foot. I mean you don't expect the world and people to enjoy their jobs all of the time but she made it clear that she did not enjoy serving us. We remained polite throughout the meal and gave her no reason to act in this fashion towards us. Our meal at castaways was a memorable night. But for all the wrong reasons... It is a shame because all of the other staff serving around us, and also ourselves at some point could not be any more friendly and helpful. They should get rid of her, before she gets rid of all their customers!!!

Tracy G  (03 July 2003)         

The first night we went here the meal was great. However we went back. Big mistake, there was a scotish waitress, blonde with freckles....she was so rude and ignorant towards us. She did not offer us drinks and basically grunted sarcastically at us. The rest of the staff were really friendly. I cannot understand why she was so rude to us. Dont bother with the 8oz Steak as 4oz of it was fat. With respect the lamb steak and mustard mash on the first night was fantastic.

Jane S  (02 July 2003)         

Enjoyed the food, great selection and was well priced especially having a family of four. Good play area which kept the children occupied. All round good restaurant. See you all next year, we will definitely be back.

Simon D  (30 June 2003)         

LOVED IT!!!!! YOUR LITTLE BLONDE WAITRESS IS REALLY FIT!!!!!!!!!!!

Peter S  (30 June 2003)         

great food

Sarah B  (30 June 2003)         

Hello to all the staff. We ate here most nights out of the 2 weeks we were in Argasi. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday apart from abigail hurting her foot in the pool, thanks for looking after her Sarah, both the kids send there love. Your PR is great, we will definately be back next year.

Sassy B  (30 June 2003)         

we ate there 4 times in 1 week it was great but it was all thanks to sexy stuart for gettin us in see you next year!!!!!!!!

Lucie A  (30 June 2003)         

Thankyou for your service, the food was absolutely fantastic & the staff were great. Hello to Sarah & thanks again for looking after the children for us we appreciated it. Hopefully see you again in september.

Sarah F  (30 June 2003)         

the food was fantastic and the staff added that special touch to our holiday. thanks guys & we will see you next year.

Nicola D  (28 June 2003)         

We ate here twice and enjoyed it both times. Service was good too

Diane M  (22 June 2003)         

Went here first night on holiday, it was ok, then went again a few nights later, and waited 2 hours for our meal which was not a very good meal afterall, not very helpful when you have 6 kids starving hungry.

Tom H  (17 June 2003)         

What a Castaway fiend Mike is!!!!!!

Hope to see you soon....

Jemma B  (16 June 2003)         

Worst meal all fortnight.... food was poor and the restaurant floor was crawling with ants and spiders.... nowhere else we visited had this problem. Horrible!!

David G  (09 June 2003)         

this place surprised me, we knew it was owned by locals but staffed by
brits and the main reason we went there was because the kids wanted to eat out on the roof terrace.i was sceptical,but i have to say the food was as good as any we ate in the 2 weeks we were there.potato salad and pate for starters, lamb and seafood souvlaki main course,all were excellent. the downside is that although the staff were friendly they were crap at their jobs, messed up both the kids meals.

Steve C  (08 June 2003)         

is that better mike. the boss making sure we do it corrctly trust you to balls it up as well why am i not surprised you were drunk mate

Dan C  (03 June 2003)         

If you want a restaurant where everybody watches one of about 10 tv's while being served by english waitresses who keep forgeting what you ask them for. My wife ordered the Castaway chicken which on the menu says that you get breast of chicken on a generous bed of vegetables with a pesto sauce. We paid 8 Euro 95, to get a couple pieces of chicken breast in the middle of the plate on a salsa sauce..... Hardly worth it and after complaining, they told us sorry, its what we ordered.. If you want to have a conversation over your meal, then this is not the place as everybody watches the film on tv..

Nat   (28 May 2003)         

hi stu why havnt you written us a message back, its nat and shelly here, we have had our photos done and the ones of us with you are great. cant wait to come back and see you, i will bring the kids so you will have proof that i have got them. baby is ok i will write and let you know what it is when i find out, say hello to everyone at that great restaurant, i came to say bye to you but you were not at the scooter place hope u got the message from your boss, take care miss you loads lots of love your two favourite ladies in argassi nat n shelly xxxxxx

Paul G  (12 May 2003)         

Cant say we enjoyed castaways, we went twice and both times the food wasnt up to standard, i had steak and Guiness pie, i couldnt find any steak only lumps of fat, my girlfriend had a pasta dish it seemed more like pasta soup,wont be going again this year plenty of far better places to visit.

Judy & Teri  (06 May 2003)         

Enjoyable meal and surroundings. Service was good, quite attentive and the price was reasonable. Because it is above a building on a slight slope, you get a slight breezefrom the sea which makes you all the more comfortable while you eat,(or yes & drink)

Stuart G  (06 May 2003)

June Y  (13 October 2002)         

We liked Castaways, they were very friendly and made a good variety of food, the Greek food was nice from the sister restaurant Illusion and the mexican I had was fantastic.

Marie L  (13 October 2002)         

The food was excellent - had a steak and it was cooked to perfection. Waitresses seemed to be rushed off their feet but they were still pleasant and helpful.

Shirley C  (11 October 2002)         

Good food, good service, the Greek entertainment was a bit of a let down..they didn't turn up.The meals were very tasty and filling.Loads of extra's...salad, fruit, ouzo.Waiters tired but pleasant.

Dannii L  (08 October 2002)         

hiya all you guys!!! hope you have had a good summer - you should be comin home soon? r u still makin ur gorgeous goujons andy? oh yeah and are you still falling asleep everywhere ie the papilion and out side djs? ha ha. how r you all coping now ash has gone home? get in touch. see you all soon. love you lots like vodka shots. dannii xxxxxxxxxx

Lesley M  (02 October 2002)         

Try the Seafood special to share, it is excellant! The Saganaki in the greek starter selection is the best I had anywhere. We eat there on a Greek Night so I don't know if that slowed down the service and caused the waitress to mix the tables up when it came to the bill.

Helen A  (21 September 2002)         

U have to go here stu works there!

Susan   (18 September 2002)         

Andy im holding you responsible for the fact ive now got a cold because you "made" us go swimming in the cold,wet weather!!shame on you for leading poor innocent girls astray!!ill be sending you my doctors bills!!

Dublin B  (17 September 2002)         

We love u Andy we do!! Farmboy ure a moany poo in the mornings (in your fetching ORANGE shorts!!) Doug u're a little OVER friendly if u know what we mean!! hope you enjoyed ur party, u missed out on Rio! Andy thanks for swimming and breakfast!

Jude E  (15 September 2002)         

WE WENT TO CASTAWAYS TWICE AND HAD EXCELLENT MEALS BOTH TIMES. WOULD RECOMMEND THE PASTA PRIMAVERA WHICH WAS PASTA WITH CREAMY PESTO SAUCE AND CHARGRILLED CHICKEN IT WAS DELICIOUS. LASAGNE WAS NOT THAT NICE THOUGH SO DONT BOTHER WITH THAT. PIZZAS WERE NICE AND STUART GAVE US FREE WINE BOTH TIMES FOR GOING IN SO HOW COULD WE SAY NO?????????

Claire T  (04 September 2002)         

Decided to try this as read about it here. Had beef and peppers in chilli sauce - very nice. Rather slow service, but then isn't everywhere slow in Greece.

Ashley R  (03 September 2002)         

oh oh u diiiiiiiccckkkss, hows it going girls and boys, im missing u like mad. hope everything is ok. this is a great restaurant and so are the staff. do u want me to lend u any money kirst. ha ha. are u still having the tea partys everyone is invited. take care all of u and text me soon. (ur hello) (eh) luv u all the daddy. xxxxxxxxxxxx

Keith W  (30 August 2002)         

Tried this one twice. First time ok but second visit disapointing. Caution - If more than one of you orders a meal which includes plate of fries and rice they try and pass off one portion as being for two!!! Standard of service indifferent.

Sarah R  (30 August 2002)         

Had the most gorgeous fajita and beautiful wine, havent found anywhere in england that sells it yet

Rod S  (14 August 2002)         

Waited an hour. Chicken in black bean source was gravy with Soy source

Dannii L  (05 August 2002)         

The food here was so good that we ate there every night and to add to the food for all you girls the staff are gorgeous! that not really why we went in every night it really is excellent and reasonably priced. See you next year. xx

Callum W  (04 August 2002)         

CRAP! COLD MEALS!

Kirsty M  (03 August 2002)         

Food here was excellent. The menu was extensive and really reasonable. View from the top of the shop was good. Only bad point is, don't sit in the corner by the stairs as you will get deafened by the music!!!!

Laura D  (27 July 2002)         

hey guys! been back in wigan a day and we miss you all like you wouldn't believe! andy, keef, dougie, dennis, justin, fraz, kirsty, cara, kath...and of course, stuart we had such a wicked holiday thanx to you. the food is really nice, so nice that we ate there virtually every night. the pasta primavera is to die for. still can't believe that we came in early to eat so that we could watch shrek and toy story with you guys! he he! hope that andy is still shouting " you minger" out of the cage at george next door. thanx to you our caty keeps sayin it to everyone! can't wait to comeback next year to see you guys. hope things run smoothly at castaway mansion till you lot either go home, or to gran canaria for the winter. sagapour, laura and dannii xx

Very nice food, Excellant setting on rooftop. Do not be put off my Factory night club downstairs you do not here it.

Shila H  (18 July 2002)         

This place got the best view when you sit outside in the left corner...... Not just because of the beautiful hills or the beachview... but the cute guy STUART made it more than worth to sit and injoy the meal.... (he worked there) God he is something... Well ofcorse i loved the food as well and the sweet waitress with long blond curly hair(never got her name) Ill miss it all very much, thank you for this time hope to see you again.

Barrie R  (08 July 2002)         

Great views of the hills from the roof top tables. Wine was really well priced and the choice of food was large. Tried a traditional greek starter which was different. Overall very pleasant and good service.

Dublin B  (26 June 2002)

Lorna M  (09 June 2002)         

We were in Castaways six nights out of seven. The food was fantastic and the waitresses were the best. My husband tipped them well, and usually he doesn't tip. The Head Chef Justin was very polite and came out front to see if we had enjoyed our meal. Would highly recommend it. Hello Rachel and Peter. see you in September. Byeeee

David & Carol  (07 June 2002)         

Panayotis - Please see the web site http://thefamilyinn.co.uk where you will see mention of Castaway & Ilysion. We haven't mentioned Grill Bar Elena because we havemn't had the opportunity to eat there yet.We will give it a go then. Please give our best regards to your parents and your brother. We look forward to seeing you again in early July.

David M  (25 May 2002)         

We were here in May and Panayotis has excelled himself, new roof for the rare windy night and a new menu. The chilli con carne was so good the first night I went back again twice. Please tell Grammateus that we will be out with our tribe on the 4th July and we look forward to seeing you all then. Dave Morrison - Scotland

Richard G  (25 May 2002)         

Went to this restaurant on our last night -enjoyed the food - would have gone back - Don't go on a breezy day (rooftop restaurant)- Childrens play area isn't upto much.

Emma W  (30 September 2001)         

We decided to go here as it had been given really good reviews on this website, but my family and I thought that it was overrated. It definitely looks better from the ground. Not the best. Emma Wood, 14 yrs

Neil H  (26 September 2001)         

A 'must-see' on your places to eat list as the food is excellent - definitely try the Beef in Guiness Pie. Service was a tad slow when we visited but Joanne and the girls were rushed off their feet - the price of popularity! Open air theme gives the place a different feel as well. But be careful here - WATCH OUT FOR THE FREE BRANDY AT THE END OF YOUR MEAL!

I liked my vacation a lot on Argassi, and we liked to eat at your place. Say hi from the Dutch girls to everybody who is working there, we made a lot of photo's, if you want to see them, let me know. Greetings.

Thelma Yes this is the restaurant and the boys say hi and hope you have good memories of your holiday take good care.

I think the restaurant, where my friends and I eat a lot is Castaways, but I'm not sure about that. Are there tv's in the walls, and is the light in the toilet a light that automaticaly turns on when you get inside? Maybe somebody know if Brendan, he was from the bar, and Markus and Neill, they were from the kitchen, worked over here. Please let me know, you help me a lot.

We went to Argassi for the 5th year running in June and this was a new place. We hated it, it took them nearly 30 minutes to even offer us a menu, when we asked for a drink we where told we would have to wait for a waitress who only does drinks to come to us. The food was flat cold, awfull, and the only friendly person in the whole place was the lass who stands outside. The reason for all this was explained to us - "we are very busy" - there was only 6 people in the place and myself and my partner where 2 of them. We will be going to Argassi again next year as we always do but will not be going here if it is still open.

This is a fairly new restaurant & appears to be having some teething troubles. Service not particularly good & although menu was most cosmipolitan we came across (English, Mexican,Chinese,Greek,Italian, etc) the food didn't live up to expectations. Probably one of the most trendy in resort also with roof-top location & chrome furniture (ala Habitat). The owner, Pedros, also owns 2 other restaurants close by (Ilision & Elena)- which we thought were more traditional & far better. I'm sure Pedros will make Castaways equally successful with time.

Just got back from gorgeous Zakynthos,couldn't get enough of Castaways, Ilision and Elena restaurants that are all owned by the same man. (So if you enjoy one-you are bound to enjoy the others! Even though they all differ in style and layout) The staff are excellent, the best we have come across; so friendly a special hi to all of them especially Jo who made sure our visits were always enjoyable. The portion sizes are massive so you may need to starve all day to beable to cope however all the food is great! A must is the lemon sorbae which is divine. Prices are competative but trust me when I say that we ate out all 14 nights we were in Argassi and tried many yet we kept coming back to Castaways which is far better than the rest.

Good place to eat. Food was good, both English and Greek, well priced and plenty of it. They have friendly staff and it was good to sit in the open air in comfort. We even got free shots after the meal!

Another massive hit for the Grammateus. This restaurant is brilliant, the staff are really nice. Hi Emma Hi Kim. I take my hat off to you and now that the menu has been expanded, I'm sure that you will grow from strength to strength. I hope the new restaurant "Elena" is as much of a success. Panayotis - We hope to see you again in September. Wishing you alll the best for the future. David (Scotland)

I'm not sure that Brian went to the same restaurant as we did. The staff could not do enough for us and the food to a very high standard. The kids were looked after by Kate in the play area and the three times we ate there were the most relaxing meals we had on our holiday

Brian   (11 July 2001)         

1. The English waitress did not know if the mousaka was served in an individual dish or cut from a slab. She explained that mousaka was like lasagne ! 2. We had to wait 15 minutes before our drinks were served. 3. We had to wait 30 minutes before our starters were served, one of which did not come. 4. We had to wait almost 1 hour before our main courses were served. The explanation given for the delay was that they were extremely busy. The restaurant was less that half full at the time. 5. The kleftiko which came was basically a lamb chop, the majority of which was bone and grisle and inedible. When we complained the explanation given was that this was how it was served at this restaurant. We had eaten kleftiko at many other restaurants, to be served with tender, mouthwatering pieces of lamb wrapped in foil. The couple at the adjacent table had ordered their meal just before us but only one meal was served ! After waiting some time this was sent back to be reheated until the other meal was ready. It is doubtful they too were impressed with the service. Our advice is don't go !!

Castaways is one of the best places I have eaten in. We went 12th June with 5 kids and 4 adults. The kids had a children's corner- with Katie entertaining them, we had some relaxing meals -which tasted superb into the bargain. Definately a must, I think we ate there at least 11 out of 14 nights. Deb,Sid,Paul,Louise and the 5 hooligans

Hard to find as it is a rooftop restaurant with a supermarket downstairs Its next to the Factory Club where the two clowns are stood outside. It is the most proffecionally presented food in Argassi and very tasty the waitresses are very freindly
