We ate at the patio during summer visit to Cobourg and enjoyed the atmosphere and food. We had fish and chips and coconut shrimps and they were delicious.

2.5 hrs to get 2 salads, fries, loaded fries and wings. Wings flavourless and greasy, loaded fries beef was dry and very little, nearly no cheese. Fries good, salad good. It took nearly 1.5 hrs to get our food, we ate and left. Won't be going back.

Went here for a birthday and the backroom was perfect for six, could fit eight comfortably The atmosphere was reminiscent of Scotland and had an amazing waitress who took excellent care of us. The food was great portions for the price and delicious. This is a must eat at in the town of Cobourg.

This was a nice pub to eat at. The food was good and had great sizeable portions. Definitely leaves extra to take home. It was a nice atmosphere as well. There were swords and props around to stage the ambiance they were attempting. I got the club wrap with fries. It was a very good wrap, and the fries are a to die for menu idem, they are very good. They also have a nice bar with a wide selection of beer, cocktails and spirits. I would recommend for a nice family outing. Service was good and polite, however getting the food out of the kitchen could have been faster.

We love Coburg, but we had never visited the Claymore before. We were not disappointed! The food was great, the staff were friendly and happy, and the environment was clean and welcoming. We will definitely be back!

Among the best fish and chips in North America. I was born in Cobourg, so when I returned, I didn't expect their fish and chips to rival English dishes I have had. It did, and exceeded them in taste. Good batter, sweet sauce.

My partner and I went to this pub, Cobourg's newest, on a recent Friday night. Of course we had Fish and Chips, which was delicious. The pub menu has a variety of items, all very reasonably priced. There is a good selection of beer, although I do miss a selection of ales and Scottish pints. The service was excellent and very friendly. I really like how they have set up the pub, complete with a snug and a nice bar. We will certainly be back.

Friendly service. Quiet little pub. While food was prepared quite well and portion size was generous, it did lack a wee bit of seasoning, which was easily rectified by the salt shaker. I will go back and try it again, as it could have been an off day for the kitchen.

My cousins and I were there for dinner and drinks before a theater production at 4th Line Theater.

December 21, 2023

Wings were about room temperature although the fries were good the gravy wasnt very good. It took about 15 minutes before a server came. Overall if you want food, Id suggest going to another local restaurant. If you just want a few drinks and faster service Taps & Corks is probably better and less cluttered although slightly more expensive

Considering it s sidewalk sale and most definitely should have far more servers on. Amanda was great! She really made an effort and was very kind considering the pressure to provide good service to so many people. I think they need to make more effort to have the staff and all hands on deck! Fries and gravy are great!

We have recently moved to the area and have been trying out the local establishments. We passed this place a few times and decided to give it a try. The dining area is clean and has a nice pub-like setting. The menu is not too big and not too small, a good enough variety, and the prices are affordable. Unfortunately that s where the good news ends. It was karaoke night, and for some reason, after setting up for karaoke, they started blasting Latino dance music. Really loud. We had to yell over the music. I ordered a burger, which came on a wet soggy bun. Both top and bottom. After trying to get some attention, I took my plate to the bar, and asked for a dry bun. I ended up with a burger on a cold bun, but it was dry. The fries are not home made, and they had a weird coating on them. Not what you expect from a pub. Service was ok. I felt bad for the 1 woman who was both bartender and server, so I am hesitant to complain. But it s not a good sign when you have to return the hand-held payment machine to the bar yourself, because it was dropped off and not retrieved. I was really surprised to find out this place is only a year old. It felt more like a place that has seen better days. I think it s ok if you are just stopping by for a drink. But if you want to appeal to those who want dinner in a pub, I would advise the owner to create an atmosphere reflective of an English pub, be fair to your servers and staff appropriately, and create a kitchen that serves fresh home-made food.

Nice place to have a drink, There were 4 of us and we either had the fish and chips or the Shepards pie and we all enjoyed the food. Small meal menu selection, but lots of appetizers. Good prices so well likely be back.

We love local and are always up to try new places. The staff was the highlight... as even though our server was clearly newer to serving, they were friendly and attentive. The owner or manager came by to say hi as well. So the feel is correct. The pricing is on the lower end and unfortunately the food reflects this. Over the years, weve become a couple of food snobs...and to be clear, the food is not bad and the portions are good. Its just not craveable food. I am also stingy with my stars, especially on my first visit. So if you are looking for a reasonably priced meal in the downtown Cobourg area and value good service, give the Claymore a swing...you may not be knocked of your feet but more importantly, you will not be disappointed either. My Scottish father would absolutely love this place... good food, good price, friendly and effective staff.

The food is great priced fairly, menu has pub food but some is Scottish and some Canadian.

Overall anything we have eaten there has been great and so is the owner & staff.

We thought we would try the Claymore today for dinner. I ordered the chicken quesadilla and it was very disappointing. There was hardly any filling inside of it, and the tortilla was cooked very crispy and crunchy. Hard to eat it. I was still hungry when I got home. My husband had liver and onions with mash potatoes and carrots. He said it was ok. I tasted the liver and it wasnt bad.

I had the homemade burger it was good, a classic burger nothing to write home about. We were supposed to have mozzarella sticks as an app but our server forgot.

I was really hoping to like this new(ish) pub in our little downtown, and had heard good things, but my friend and I were pretty disappointed when we went last night. There was only one server on shift and she was not very efficient. We waited quite a while before she came back with our drinks, and she spilled water as she put glasses down on the table. She seemed in a hurry to get us out, grabbing my plate and pulling it away before asking if I was done (I kind of was, but I couldve kept nibbling), and didnt even ask if it was one bill or two (we wouldve preferred to split it) - she just brought the bill and the payment machine already loaded up and ready to go, and left. Food was ok, standard pub fare. Fish and chips was greasy. Sadly, I wont be returning.

A couple of weeks ago we were in the restaurant. I asked the waitress if I could make a reservation for the 11th of October at1730 hrs for me and four mates. I asked specifically for the back room. The waitress marked down in the reservation and asked me for my name and phone number. We showed up on the 11th of October, only to find the restaurant closed. It threw a monkey wrench into plans. I should have received at least a phone call to advise us that it would be closed that date. Very poor customer service. Your loss.
