    Love the Clare Castle we eat there once a week generally; staff are great. Real shame in the dinning room though they have gotten rid of table clothes. Looks like a pub bistro. Real shame. Takes it down market.

    We had the Sunday roast with all the trimmings . Food was lovley and having 3 Brit’s to impress with a roast is hard going but we loved it . Beef was so tender . Veg was really well cooked and the Yorkshire puddings were epic . I would say abit stingy on the roasties but apart from that we wil definitely be back

    The menu and the service are very good and it's quiet enough to have a catch up chat. We enjoyed our lunch and the wine very much and we were made comfortable by excellent table service. Thank you.
