Group of Six or More? Ring Peter at The Spinnaker, Dunmore East
Planning a meal for six or more at The Spinnaker Bar, Lower Village, Dunmore East? Ring Peter on (051) 383 133 to book your table. Walk-ins work most days for smaller groups, but groups of six or more need to book ahead so Peter can prep the kitchen and set your table on the harbour.
Why Ring Peter for Six or More
Peter runs the kitchen and the bar himself at The Spinnaker. When a group of six or more turns up without warning, the kitchen can get backed up and tables fill fast. Ring (051) 383 133 a day or two ahead and Peter will hold your table, prep extra seafood chowder or lamb shank, and make sure you're sorted when you arrive. Friday and Sunday evenings get busy with locals and weekenders, so groups need to book for those nights regardless of size. Walk-ins work fine Monday through Thursday for smaller parties, but six or more always need to ring Peter first.
