    Sat in the restaurant section and the service was fantastic by the staff and the food was delicious. If anyone wants to go to a pub for a meal, definitely recommend THE CLARE CASTLE PUB.

    Couldn’t fault any part of our afternoon out for lunch @ Clare Castle. My partner had his regular crumbed cutlet's that he loves. I was a bit more adventurous and tried small plates, Morten Bay Bug Roll that was amazing. Could probably eaten 3🥳. Next I tried the prawn spring rolls, again mouth watering food. Service was A1 & everyone is so welcoming. We live on the other side of the bridge in Newport, it’s worth spending money on the Uber trips to get such a great experience.

    Excellent food, delicious and plentiful! Great staff and service. Not so noisy that we couldn't hear ourselves speak. Lovely atmosphere. Been here 3 times and it doesn't disappoint.

    The Clare Castle is a relaxing place to dine and chat. The porterhouse with pepper sauce was beautifully cooked as was the fillet steak satay skewers. The staff are friendly and professional and our dining experience was memorable.

    Our 3rd time dining here but unfortunately it wasn’t the same experience for us. Service just wasn’t up to scratch.
