    We have 2 other closer pubs, North Port & Railway BUT we have been going here for last 4 years at least several times a month, including getting takeout during Covid. That’s got to say, we definitely rate the place. Probably been to the others mentioned, 5 or 6 times over same period.

    As always a great night and dining experience, especially for a friend who hasn’t been there before. He advised it’s the best steak he’s had for ages…

    Claire Castle has a lovely ambience. The staff are helpful but subtle. Food was delicious. I had the special of Barramundi with ginger and soy and Jasmine rice. Flavours were good and the fish was cooked perfectly. My husband had the king prawns with garlic. They were a good size and flavour was good. Good sized portions. We really enjoyed our lunch.
