Stopped here for dinner after visiting the Irish National Heritage Park (also wonderful!) with my mom and dad, who can be a little picky. We all really liked it and the portions were huge, making it a great value. Also the service was spot on. I really liked the haddock! Recommend checking it out for a quiet, comfortable, simply lovely experience.

Another delicious meal at the Whitford, family occasion, just 4 of us, we didn't book but luckily got a table, late Saturday afternoon, there were a number of large groups doing likewise so the staff were very busy but friendly and efficient as always. The sticky toffee pudding and the strawberry daiquiri were top notch, sadly no featherblade steak on the menu this time but enjoyed the double burger, my husband was very happy with his monkfish scampi, the others got sizzling prawns and blackened salmon, all very tasty and good size portions as always. Looking forward to our next visit.

Ordered a chicken burger and got this, how do you justify this? The chicken was so dry. Didn’t want to waste food so chugged it down with a coke and loads of water.
Service and atmosphere was good!
