There are plenty of tables and on the day we went for lunch a lot of these were taken by family groups of tourists taking a break from sightseeing and in amongst them were the local office crowds. I went along with Peter Mansfield, who lives nearby and had recommended it.
We took a table and a waitress immediately came with menus and took our drinks order. As we were both driving this consisted of sparkling water, but it was about this time that I noticed the drinks menu we had received which matched food and beer. The Bull and Castle has what is probably the most comprehensive beer menu in Ireland.
All of these would have to wait for another time unfortunately, and it was on to the food. The main courses include roast beef dinner, fish and chips, Irish Stew, Beef and Guinness pie and a Homemade lasagne, with Haloumi skewers as a vegetarian option, although there are several salads as well. I decided on the fish, while Peter ordered the Beef and Guinness pie. When the food arrived though we were both very pleasantly surprised. The haddock was in a fresh batter, perfectly cooked and with homemade chips.
We happily ate our lunch and when dessert time came I had to try the chocolate brownie to see if the standard kept up. As we walked back to the car, I remembered lunch with Paolo in the Clarendon Pub about two years previously. We chose similar things on that day and both thought it was excellent. Lunch in the Bull and Castle was probably the best value meal I have had all year. Definitely one to try, and I will be back soon to try all those beers!
