Very impressed, it was a lovely little pub. Old style, very traditional with a few modern beers added to the selection. The service was very friendly, great bar staff.We had some lunch but kept it simple with some sandwiches and soups. Extremely fresh bread and the fish soup was tasty. The menu is very interesting and has some options that you wouldn't normally see in an Irish bar, it is quite limited for vegetarian eaters though. The specials board had a huge amount of seafood specials, including a couple of lobster varietiesGreat experience all round, will definitely be back over the weekend.

Lovely home made food, to a very high standard. Staff are always very friendly and welcoming. Their fish soup is excellent and the bisque is decadent. Excellent spot for food or a pint after a walk. Can't wait to return.

An excellent meal on all counts! Had the homemade seafood soup which was delicious (not too heavy but creamy & flavorful) and one of the specials, goulash with potatoes and cabbage, which was amazing. Everything was delicious and service was great. The atmosphere in the dining room with the fireplaces was lovely and cozy. Very happy with the many gluten free and dairy free options available too. Would definitely recommend!
