Fantastic food! The most delicious pork ribs in my life, very tasty beef too. Definitely recommend!
They also had live music on Saturday night, which was great too.

Great food, drinks and entertainment. Our dogs were made welcome and we were able to stay overnight in our campervan in the car park.

Had a lovely meal there on a Sunday evening....beautiful spot, with a welcoming log burner and warm and friendly host Roger. The food was excellent...my friend ordered the meat platter which was ginormous and tasty...the generous portions of lasagne that my other friend and I had, were very satisfying after a boat trip out amongst the islands on Lough Key. Can't think of a better way to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon in May... highly recommend! Cheers!
