A family trip to Dingle on a misty October Bank Holiday Monday brought us to Paudie’s Bar in the Dingle Bay Hotel for a spot of lunch. We wandered in on spec to find the place buzzing with life. Every table in the rather large bar was busy so the five of us were lucky to get a nice comfy corner table just as some diners were leaving. The waitress seated us, gave us menus and promised she would return to give the table a wipe. That was the last we saw of her, understandable as the place was quite busy and another waitress was along in a flash to take our order.
A couple of Dingle Bay Prawn Cocktails were excellent. Fresh, sweet, prawns served in a classic Marie-Rose with some home-made brown bread. The Goats Cheese and Caramelised Onion panini was well received and the Chicken Nuggets for the kids were made of proper chicken, lovely and white with a crispy crumb. Not soggy and dull like a lot of places. A refreshing bottle of Muscadet-Sevre et Maine sur lie brought the bill to €55 for three adults and two kids.
Great staff, excellent food and a great atmosphere.

Ate there on Tuesday after a spot of climbing. It was busy. The staff were efficient and the lunch was very tasty. Would eat there again.
