Down The Hatch in Roscommon

22/04/2025: Bar is beautiful. The fire was lovely as it was very cold and wet outside. I ordered bbq chicken wings with a bluecheese dip, and french fries. My son ordered cajun chicken panini. My wings were dried out, and obviously not fresh today. They were served on top of a spoon scrapping OF blue cheese dressing, and drizzled with bbq sauce from a bottle!! The little sise salad was limp. The French fries were OK. My sons chicken was really dry aswell. I asked for more blue cheese as it was supposed to be dip and the waitress brought it then in a little dipping pot. Honestly, I felt that I was just getting left over blue cheese dressing scrapped on a plate- I'm not saying it was but that is what it tasted and looked like. I ate 2 wings and my son ate tge rest along with the chips/ french fries. The reason I scored a 3 star was based on friendly staff and lovely bar atmosphere. But food I'd only give 1 star. I would not serve that food at my own table, so I expected more.
