25/07/2025: My husband and I are visiting Ballyconnell in our motor home for two nights Friday and Saturday. We decided that we would eat out the two nights for a treat. We chose The Anglers Rest last night. When we arrived we were shown to our table very quickly. Drinks order was take and we were given the menus. We both ordered the roast beef. The meal arrived fairly quickly and looked delicious. The waitress said the vegetables were on their way. We tucked in and it was as gas it looked. I waited for my vegetables as I like to eat my dinner as a complete meal. We waited for about five minutes and thought maybe they forgot about us. So l signalled to the waitress that we were waiting for the vegetables. Eventually she arrived with 2 bowls of vegetables on a very hot plate which had obviously just come out of the microwave. At this stage my dinner was cold. I asked the waitress why were the vegetables not served with the meal. She informed me that the chef hadn’t them ready and needed to warm them up. I couldn’t eat scalding vegetables with a cold meal and so had the lot put together for our dogs. My husband had gone ahead with his vegetable less meal which he said was mediocre pub grub. We didn’t even receive an apology from anyone we definitely will not be back. As I was still hungry we spied a restaurant across the road and decided to get me something to eat. I am 70 years old and if I am over hungry I will get nausea. We went into the restaurant which is called The Bridge. Well what a treat! Anne the owner was very busy attending tables with cocktails. We waited for about a minute and then she came to us. I asked for the menu. We blow me down with a feather! The starters choice was unbelievable inter continental. Greek Turkish Indian to name a few. They also offered a wide variety of mains but what caught my eye was the dessert choice. I was spoiled for choice bur in the end chose the mini chocolate selection. It arrived very quickly and was so well presented. It tasted heavenly. The sugar fix was just what I needed and l felt better after it. We chatted with Anne when she was able as she was very busy with food and cocktails. We learned that her husband was the chef and they moved to Ballyconnell from Spain where they also ran a restaurant. She was so obliging. We booked a table for Saturday night. We feel that it is going to be good. Denise & Jim.
