A large group of us descended, quite ravenous, upon Neville's on a sunny afternoon in September. It…read morewas midweek and very quiet and so we found ourselves the only folk to take up shop in the rather pretty beer garden out the back. There were lots of tables in the sun and pretty flower boxes scattered about. No camera with me so unfortunately no photos this trip!!
The menu is quite vast, offering the usual pub grub, grill (steaks, lamb, chicken, burgers), sandwiches, soup, chowder, garlic mushrooms and the like, but have a smaller than expected choice of fish dishes. They also have a vegetarian option (pasta based) which was on the daily specials sheet and so probably changes throughout the year, and a kids menu.
Our party ordered a selection of beef burgers, cod and chips/mash, the blt, and the lamb along with some pints. They have a selection of Irish beer and O'haras on tap. The cod was well prepared, fresh and with tasty batter but a wee bit heavier than I personally like. I got mash and salad instead of chips and it was lovely. I did sample the chips (can never resist one or two!) and they were crisp and fresh too, tasted homemade, but I could be mistaken. Deserts too were winners with the Eton mess coming in first for me - anything that utilises the local strawberries of Wexford is a winner in my book!
Wasn't sure what to expect, but lesson learnt; don't judge by appearances. Friendly and relaxed service (which hopefully remains when they are busier), great quality food, but don't expect anything out of the ordinary if you are vegetarian or vegan as there's not much on offer, or at least wasn't when we visited!
