The Half Barrel in Whitegate

Food: I've never had a better roast dinner in my life. Beef, mashed potatoes, vegetables. I wish I took a better pic. Service: Andy, the bartender, is among the best bartenders ever. He's friendly, knowledgeable, and quick. My drink was never empty unless by choice. The food came with perfect timing. I'm amazed at the quality and quick service, a rare combination. Atmosphere: Friendly, safe, interactive. The first night, for example, an older gentleman got down from his bar stool to leave, and seemed surprised to see three female strangers there (us). After a quick look of surprise, he looked me in the eye, instantly broke into a verse of a song, then went out the door. The bathrooms were immaculate as well!

Lovely food, attentive staff, great atmosphere, very busy restaurant. Would visit again. 5 stars highly recommended this pub

Great food in terms of both quality and value for money. Stop at an Irish pub, nice staff and ambience and not just the classic pub food. Highly recommended!!!

Gorgeous food, brilliant staff, great Guinness 👌

Great place, Great service, Great food, Great waitress,

A nice little country pub with awesome food ( I had beer battered cod that was just amazing) Helpful waitress. Lots of parking to the rear. On a bus route so if you want you can leave the car at home. Clean and tidy and that open fire when lit must kick out some heat. Will be back for sure.

Excellent food the beef is one of the best if had we will definitely be returning on a regular basis. 5 star 🌟 🤩 ✨️ 😍 ♥️ 💖 🌟 🤩

This is a great pub, very friendly folk running it and the chowder/chips had us back 3 times :)

Recently had food there and it was fantastic, food delicious , staff and service second to none👍

Got take out dinner the first night we were in the area and the portions and quality were fantastic. Then we ate in and the place was hopping and the food was excellent. The service and bar staff were on top of everything even with how busy they were. There was a fussy eater a vegetarian and a meat eater and all were catered for. will be back.
