The Smugglers Rest in Clogherhead

First time in here..Dropped in for lunch..Lovelh food and Guinness..Lovely pub..I like the interiof Marine theme walls and tables.

Stopped in for a bite to eat after a day at the beach. We got the 3 course menu which was great value. Service as well was exceptional. Will definitely make the trip back to visit again.

We popped out this evening and had a lovely meal - the three course special - Garlic mushrooms and Caesar salad as our starters with an amazing fish & chips for our mains. Emma was lovely and couldn't have been more helpful and fair play to Franky & Ross for the excellent food. Great atmosphere in a nice relaxed setting with a reasonable price. Loved it 😁

Great food and service received this afternoon from all in smugglers rest will definitely be returning and would highly recommend

amazing special, super fresh seafood!

Staff were so professional, courteous and kind. Food was delicious. We'll be back.

If you're searching for a truly outstanding dining experience, The Smugglers Rest is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you step in, you're in for a treat that feels both genuinely warm and incredibly well-run. What really blew me away was their great meal deal. It was fantastic value for money, offering a superb selection that left me feeling more than satisfied. Honestly, it's one of those places where you feel like you've stumbled upon a real secret! But the real star of the show was undoubtedly Emma, our server. She's not just "good"; she's absolutely class. Emma is hands down the kindest and loveliest server you could ever hope for. It was incredible to watch her manage the entire floor by herself—bartending, waitressing, and making it all look effortless. She was just amazing, anticipating needs and making everyone feel so welcome. You honestly couldn't ask for better service. The Smugglers Rest, with its brilliant meal deal and the sheer dedication and charm of Emma, offers an experience that goes beyond just a meal; it's a memorable highlight. Don't walk, run to this place! I will be back soon!!!

Love this place ..food is good and staff is very welcoming

Food was fantastic and served in good time with polite staff. I highly recommend the spicy chorizo and seafood dish ( could of done with a few less mussels and some prawns added in)

It’s such a shame, this place used to be a great place to visit. The location, the staff and particularly the food. Ok so the location is obviously still great, and I found the staff to be friendly but the menu is no way near as exciting as it used to be and the food served was disappointing. I used to love ordering the seafood here but I was so uninspired by the new menu that I ordered the chicken, which came out tough, and well over cooked. If you can’t get something as simple as a breast of chicken right I don’t think there’s much hope of winning another gastro pub award any time soon. Hey ho.. I guess I was lucky to experience this place in its prime.
