Pricey enough at €8.50 but the price was worth it. You get two battered fish pieces and a helping of chips, all tucked into a paper recyclable tray. The chips were good, had a unique taste to them can't figure it out but was nice. The fish pieces well they just melted in your mouth. It really is their speciality. on display is a few live crabs which I presume are on the menu for anyone who wants to try, maybe next time I might :) Only downside is it's a take away only (of course since it's located on a trailer on the pier) and with that if its cold or rainy you'll be queuing up and eating in the bad weather. Still if you are out walking it's going to be good enough weather It can also get very busy as there is a lot of walkers around that area And parking is limited in the area but you may find a space in front of the nearby yacht club.

However, Searsons goes way beyond traditional pub grub. I had a gnocchi dish, with roasted tomatoes, and a little melted cheese, that was delicious. My wife had a roast beef dinner, that was massive. My son had traditional fish 'n chips, so you can go the expected route as well. The pub has their own brews on tap, as well as well known beer and cider brands. I should not forget to mention that the Irish coffee here is perfect. Finally, the service was attentive and very friendly. On a Saturday night, the pub was full and hopping with Men's and Women's Rugby, plus a Premier League game, on the telly. Very fun environment!

When the cashier took order she didn't ask whether I wanted to sit in and eat at their premisses.

Again the male server kept screaming at me that he doesn't read mind. I reminded them that they shouldve asked all that when they took the order in first place. The experience was horrible, not advising anyone to go there. And I'm glad that I didn't eat their food. I don't think the energy of food make to be satisfying served by such rudeness...

It was busy yet quiet, old yet upscale, and intriguing. I started with one of the most amazing appetizers I've ever had and, by leaps and bounds, the best scotch egg I've tasted. On the menu, it's listed as: "Free Range Scotch Egg, Andarl Pork & Sneem Black Pudding, Connemara Peat Whiskey Brown Sauce, Smoked Bacon Crumble." Andarl and Sneem are local (which I like). Now, I enjoy black pudding occasionally but find it a bit intense. This use is genius - that intensity, married with the pork sausage, breading, and egg, makes an incredible bite. The eggs were perfectly jammy. And that sauce! Complex and deeply rich with a touch of sweetness reminiscent of apple butter. I licked the plate clean. For my main course, I had the special: amazing crispy-skin perfectly-seasoned sea bass with king prawn, mussels, delicious potatoes that looked like seared scallops (hidden under the sea bass in the picture), romaine lettuce, pickled onions, and a luscious artichoke sauce. The staff was very friendly, and the place had a delightful ambiance.
