The 4 of us each ordered something different and shared with each other. All was good! Favorites were the roast beef, chicken curry and the stew! No regrets.

Little gem of a place which served Irish breakfast. The strawberry-rhubarb pie with whipped cream and warm custard was incredible. The gentleman who served us was friendly and the atmosphere was cheerful
