Lunch in Dunmore East | The Spinnaker Bar

Lunch at The Spinnaker Bar in Dunmore East is one of the best midday experiences on the Waterford coast. Fresh seafood, excellent pub classics, and a harbour view that makes any lunch feel like a proper occasion.

Lunch on the Harbour

A lunch at The Spinnaker Bar in Dunmore East is a step above the average midday meal. The combination of quality food, an exceptional harbour setting, and the warmth of the bar makes lunch here an experience rather than just refuelling. Whether you're a visitor to Dunmore East for the day or a local looking for somewhere special for a midday meal, The Spinnaker delivers.

The lunch menu covers the full range of Spinnaker offerings — starters, mains, and the full pizza menu — so you can have a light bite or a full multi-course lunch depending on your appetite and the length of your afternoon.

Recommended for Lunch

The Spinnaker's seafood chowder (€13.50) is the perfect lunch starter — generous, warming and made with fresh local fish. Following it with the beer-battered fish (€22.50) is the classic Dunmore East lunch combination, and there's a reason it's been the standard choice here for years. If you want something different, the mussels (€14) or prawn cocktail (€12) make excellent starters, and the lamb shank (€27) or beef burger (€20) offer satisfying alternatives for the main.

The Harbour Setting for Lunch

One of the things that makes lunch at The Spinnaker so enjoyable is the setting. Dunmore East harbour is a working fishing port — boats come and go, the harbour wall is right there, and the atmosphere of a genuine coastal community permeates the experience. Eating lunch here feels grounded and real in a way that chain restaurants and tourist traps can never replicate.

After Lunch

After lunch at The Spinnaker, Dunmore East has plenty to offer — cliff walks, beaches, the harbour itself, the village streets. The bar is a natural starting point for a day exploring one of Waterford's most beautiful corners. The team is always happy to recommend what to do in the village and surrounding area.
