The craic was mighty

Attended a session here the evening after the wedding. The craic was mighty. We got gorgeous food in the Field kitchen which is in the beer garden at the back of the pub. Wonderful fella playing the music called Joe and as I said the craic was mighty. Our Canadian new in-laws thought they had died and gone to Heaven.

Tripadvisor review – September 2015

Great food, great atmosphere...

My husband and I ate here last Saturday evening. We started with Silver Hill duck spring rolls and garlic mussels followed by monkfish and chips with an amazing aioli on the side. It was one of the best meals we had in a long time and so reasonably priced. The couple working there were friendly and welcoming and to top it all off, a Rolling Stones C.D was playing in the background. We'll be back soon.
