From comforting classics like rice pudding with blackcurrant compote, sticky toffee pudding and lemon tart, to more adventurous dishes like egg nog crème brûlée, Moroccan orange and almond cake and poached pears with goats curd ice-cream. Their cheese board is another firm favourite amongst their regulars: a platter featuring the very best of Irish cheeses such as Knockanora oak smoked cheddar, Cashel Blue and Cooleeney Camembert.
