Wine & Drinks

To complement lovely food, lovely wines!  We have a delicious range from around the world  And there's always 10 or more available by the glass.

There is also a full bar selection of drinks, including a wide range of non-alcoholic choices.

Wonderful ingredients, wonderful food...

Here in West Cork we are blessed with wonderful ingredients.  Superb Irish meat, local organic growers, sea full of fish, craft cheeses and other produce.

We take great ingredients and make great meals.  We keep our menus short, generally 6 each of appetizers, main courses and desserts.  Always with a choice of meats, fish and vegetarian.

Everything is cooked to your order, so dishes can be customised to particular wishes.  Vegetarian, vegan, coeliac and dairy intollerant diets are easily accommodated.  (As ever, knowing in advance helps, so do let us know when booking.)

We now have quite a range of different menus at different times.  See the various examples on these pages.

A couple of notes... Please book, as it is much easier for us to look after you if we know your are visiting!  And, much as we would like to always be able to serve you, we do have to restrict our hours, so check the opening times page.
