Only open since Easter 2012, it was opened so recently you can smell the newness when you walk in. It wasn't even listed on here until I added it! I've only visited The Stepping Stone, but no doubt it's definitely one of the best gastropubs in the area. The decor is very clean an modern and the staff are all really helpful and friendly. We came here for lunch on a rainy Tuesday afternoon and were surprised at the quality! From what I've tasted, soup and sandwiches definitely seem to be their strong point. Very tasty, a lot of work seems to go into everything. We had club sandwiches (delicious), prawn cocktail, soup and chicken wings, all well worth the money and great value too. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the coffee, made from an instant machine, it's not the best. However, from what I've tasted I can't wait to try dinner here and in the Bank Bistro. One way to judge a place is if the locals eat there or not, and here, they do. It was packed! One thing to note though, they do play a lot of Daniel O' Donnel, so if you're not a fan, maybe you'd better think twice. But still, its a hidden gem nonetheless.

Of all the 4 times I've been here I was warmly greeted before being shown to my table. The manager and/or owner always seems to be around to say hello and the service is quick, efficient and friendly with a cozy interior. The coffee and cakes are to die for with a huge selection of fresh main courses, seafood, lunch sandwiches and soup also on the menu. There definitely seems to be something for everyone on offer. I'd especially recommend their cupcakes and sandwiches, delish! The one thing they could improve are their salads which seemed a bit limp and lackluster. Hopefully they can freshen those up. Great for coffee, light lunch or a bigger lunch for couples or familys with kids. Definitely worth a visit!

You can find it your typical Irish seafood with battered fish and chips, shellfish and of course, lobster. They also had a range of spud and beef type dishes. Nothing fancy or especially unique, but friendly service and fresh fish! The cold seafood platter is a great opportunity to try all of Ireland's sea bounty. Good for seafood lovers.

Three very young waitresses, poor listening skills, busy chatting with each other. They did get busy when a middle aged man showed up (owner?) ;-) Food ordered: fish and chips came with side salad. Chips arrived lukewarm and limp; fish ok; tartar sauce lacking any personality as did the side salad. Perhaps: come for the music not the food or service.
