Get away from the hordes milling up and down the main route to the castle at this appealing country inn with outdoor tables and a barbecue grill, where a half-litre of Pilsner Urquell is still only 42K膷. The menu is rustic Czech, with lots of grilled or roast pork, beef and chicken.
Take the first road on the left heading up to the castle, or walk down the footpath just outside the castle gate (red waymarks, signposted Beroun).
