What's New for Food in Dunmore East
The big news in the village food scene this year: Peter has taken over The Spinnaker Bar. That's the change worth knowing about.
Peter at The Spinnaker
Peter took on The Spinnaker Bar in Dunmore East recently and is doing the food himself. New owner, hands-on kitchen, menu shifting with what the boats land. If you knew the village from previous years and want to know what's worth a return visit — this is it.
What's new about the food
Local seafood front and centre. Bar food done properly. Menu adjusts to what's fresh in. Sunday roasts. The early indicators are good — quiet pride in the kitchen rather than marketing noise.
