Best gravy. Flavoursome and thick. Delicious food with a big menu. Some quirky things too like twice battered burgers that look nice. Lovely turkey and ham. Home made chips, perfectly cooked. Chicken on the bone. Lots of fresh vegetables too. Sorry forgot to get photos.

Donegal ham might be slightly overpriced for just two slices, but the food itself is very nice, nicely decorated and the atmosphere in restaurant is really like at home. Great service as well. Definitely would visit again!
