Practical question, simple answer: most Dunmore East pubs and restaurants take card and cash. Here's the slightly more detailed read.

Card payment

Visa and Mastercard are accepted at virtually all Dunmore East pubs and restaurants. Tap-to-pay (contactless) works on most terminals. Apple Pay and Google Pay similarly. American Express is less universally accepted — bring an alternative if you only have Amex.

Cash

Cash is still useful — small purchases, tipping, occasional places with card minimums. ATM in the village; another in Tramore if you need a bigger withdrawal. Euros are the currency.

The Spinnaker on payment

Card and cash both accepted. Tap-to-pay works. Splitting a bill across multiple cards is fine — flag at the start of the meal.

Tipping etiquette

10% on a sit-down meal is generous. Rounding up at the bar is fine for a drink. Service charge isn't typically added unless flagged on the menu for groups.
