Let's talk about the turkey and ham lunch. I never know turkey can taste so juicy and soft. The turkey and ham are sliced thick, so we get a good bite in every mouth! Gravy is rich. I would say the whole dish has a rustic and traditional taste. Best of all we got 3 scoops of mash potatoes! We got croquettes instead of the usual roast potatoes. Honestly, blissful after a full meal here. Definitely living up to its name as a family restaurant. We also had the tuna melt, felt like they put a whole can of tuna for the sandwich. Bit more than 16euros for the turkey and ham, definitely bang for the buck.

Tasty homemade Irish food and generous portions. The atmosphere is quite simple, nothing particularly special, but overall it’s a decent place for a casual meal.

Had a lovely experience dining here! The food quality was genuinely impressive — fresh ingredients, well-seasoned, and nicely presented. The atmosphere has a really good vibe — it felt lively but not too loud, with lots of families and friendly energy all around. You can tell it’s a spot locals trust.

The staff were super friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which made the whole experience even better. For the quality of the food and the overall vibe, I’d say the pricing is totally fair and worth it. Would definitely come back again! 🙌
