The Wheelhouse Cafe in Fethard-on-sea

Stopped at this little gem of a cafe in a quiet little village, with a tiny little garden centre at the front entrance. We walked in and a beautiful aroma of great food filled the air. A small hardware section and fishing section to one side. Loads of seating as it was quiet. The waitress quickly served us with a menu which had a good choice on it. We were also informed of the menu on the wall with the daily specials. Including deserts and a coffee menu that is very reasonably priced. I opted for the open prawn sandwich on homemade brown bread, which was more than filling with a lovely side salad, coleslaw and potato salad. I unfortunately ordered a portion of chips but regretted that idea upon seeing the size of my meal.The daughter had the homemade soup and brown bread as well that was proper filling and chunky. The wife opted for a chicken salad wrap and chips with a sneaky glass of wine. Me been the designated driver. The attention to detail the beautiful cooked well presented food and the efficiency of the staff made this a wonderful experience. I can't fault this place at all. Well priced food if you ask me a little underpriced but I'd imagine they have their regulars to keep happy. Do yourself a favour make this place a must stop on your trip to Fethard and experience it yourself. Top quality. Keep up the great work. To the waiting staff on duty that day. Well done on your professionalism and efficiency in cleaning the tables after each customer and also your attention to details. Good staff like this is hard to find and retain. Overall a wonderful experience and can't wait to return again soon. Regards Noely aka the ex chef

What a great little cafe! Only place we could find on the peninsula that was open on a Monday, and the breakfast was top notch. Super value, friendly service and we even did a little plant shopping outside in the garden centre part of the businesses.

It was very homely traditional cafe I highly recommend it

The Wheelhouse Café is a lovely place to stop after visiting the castle. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and it feels very relaxed and friendly. The coffee was excellent and the food was fresh and tasty, perfect for a break after walking around. The staff were kind and attentive, which really adds to the experience. It’s a great little café in a beautiful location, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Yes, this is also a tackle store and Garden centre, but the café is GREAT! The toasted sandwiches were HOT as was the carrot and sweet potato soup of the day. As HOT as they were, they were just as tasty!
