    We (a group of 6) have been dining on Sundays at Clare Castle for 2 years now. The attraction is the roasts. All the accompaniments eg., cauli in cheese sauce, yorkshire pudding, horseradish, apple, & mint sauces match with the meats, pork, lamb, or beef. Well cooked, beautifully served, & happy staff - what more could you want?
