    Great food (can’t go past the lamb cutlets). Service always fantastic. Pretty good value for a quality pub restaurant meal.

    We had a wonderful dinner to celebrate a friend's 80th Birthday. Everyone enjoyed their meals very much and said they would visit the Clare Castle again - a hidden gem! A big shout out to the staff who were extremely helpful and always smiling - nothing was too much trouble. If you haven't visited Clare Castle - you should - I highly recommend the garlic prawns!

    The non existence of booths was annoying because I couldn't get out of my wheelchair.

    All enjoyed our selected meals. The Morten Bay bugs were delicious. Two if us had porterhouse steaks and they were cooked as requested and tender. Josh was our server and did a great job.
