The pork ribs were the real deal&mdash;fell right off the bone and had this smoky sweetness I wasn&#39;t expecting. Honestly could&#39;ve ordered a second plate just for myself. Service kept things moving without hovering, which I appreciated. Place was buzzing but not chaotic. Would come back just for those ribs, no question.

Great pint of Guinness and the stew hit the spot. Sat outside watching the world go by. Service was quick enough for a lunch stop.

Stopped in for breakfast during a work trip. Staff were sound, even chased us out with a forgotten phone. Food was decent, the full Irish did the job. Place has that proper family-run feel, nothing fancy but you&#39;re looked after. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The beef lasagna was lovely, proper comfort food. The bacon cabbage with mash was good too. Service was friendly enough, though I did have to wait a bit for the bill.

Solid pints, no question. Proper local feel to the place. Bar staff were sound, didn&#39;t have to wait long at all. Just a decent spot for a quiet one. Wish I lived closer, honestly.

Stopped in for a coffee, stayed for the fruit scone&mdash;proper bakery texture, not too crumbly. Staff were friendly enough, place had a nice local buzz. Cake was decent too, though I&#39;d skip the coffee next time.

Nice cocktails and a menu that&rsquo;s got plenty of options without being too much. Prices are a bit steep but you&rsquo;re paying for the quality. Solid spot for a proper dinner.

That cream donut is something else. Light, fresh, not too sweet, and the texture was spot on. I had it with a glass of their house white, which worked better than I expected. Probably the best one I&#39;ve had in a long while. I&#39;ll be stopping by again before I head out.

Stayed overnight in the car park with the campervan and the staff were dead sound about it. Even stuck the rugby on the telly for us. Fair play to them.

The Sunday roast here was proper good, the beef just fell apart. Desserts were unreal too, we basically had to be rolled out after. Live music was a nice touch, not too loud that you couldn&#39;t chat. Would defo come back with the group for a lazy afternoon.

Stopped in for a quick bite and a drink. The amaretto sour by the fire hit the spot after a long day. Bartender was on it, kept the drinks coming without hovering. Place was a bit quiet for my taste, but that worked fine for a relaxed sit-down. Solid spot if you want a proper cocktail without the fuss.

We popped in here twice while staying nearby and honestly the pistachio ice cream with Irish coffee is the one ☕️ like I&rsquo;m still thinking about it. Service was really attentive too, made it easy to just chill with the girls after a long day. Only thing is it got a bit busy later on, but that&rsquo;s on us for timing. Would happily go back.

The spot itself is grand &mdash; right near the car park, so handy. Staff were grand but seemed a bit bored, and our food took about 10 minutes longer than expected. Not mad about it though.

Came for the dinner, live music was decent craic. Lamb shank fell off the bone, prawns were fresh enough. Place had a good buzz to it. Bit loud if you&#39;re after a quiet chat, but sure that&#39;s part of it. Solid feed overall.

Service&#39;s a bit hit or miss. First time was grand, quick and friendly. Second visit we waited ages for drinks and food even though the place was half empty.

Pizza was proper good, and the garlic mushrooms were a nice surprise. Portions are hefty for what you pay, which I always appreciate. Place was packed though, so definitely book a table before you head over. I can see why it&#39;s busy, but it&#39;s not a spot you can just rock up to on a whim.

The live music really made the place&mdash;two lads got everyone going. Guinness was spot on too. Could&#39;ve done with a bit more space at the bar, but sure look, it added to the craic.

The whiskey tasting here was genuinely interesting &mdash; proper history behind it, not just a quick pour. Food menu&#39;s small but done well. Service was friendly, though we did wait a bit between courses.

Stopped in for a sandwich&mdash;decent size for the price, which is rare around here. Staff knew their stuff and pointed me to something good.

The sirloin steak was proper good&mdash;medium rare just as I asked, really juicy. Prawn cocktail starter was decent too, plenty of prawns in it. Place was busy enough on a Tuesday night but we got seated quick. Only thing, the chips could&#39;ve been hotter. Still, I&#39;d go back for that steak again.

The curries and crispy duck are always spot on. Portion size is decent for what you pay, though I wouldn&#39;t say it&#39;s cheap. The dining room looks fancier than the bill suggests, which is a nice surprise. Staff were polite enough. I&#39;d stick to eating in rather than getting a takeaway, the food just hits different when it&#39;s fresh.

Came here with a couple of friends after hearing good things. The seafood chowder is seriously loaded&mdash;fish, mussels, the lot. Rich and creamy, exactly what you want on a cold day. Portion was decent too. Place got pretty busy by the time we left, but we managed to grab a table easy enough. Would happily go back for that chowder again 😊
