The food was really very good . The service a tad slow due to a public holiday and plenty of dinners. Very happy overall with the lunch and the day at the Clare Castle.

Apart from the food and service being exceptional, the Goodland Jungle Juice DIPA was literally next level for this style. I had lamb shoulder and my 2 friends had steak. The sides, of note the roasted Broccoli were delish. The 12 year old Bunnahabhain Scottish single malt distilled on the rugged cost of Islay made for the perfect finish.
