On 18/1/2020 at 5.30, me and my husband went for food in rody boland.
We both ordered fish and chip which was cold and burnt and dry. As I would of inform the waiter of this, it proved extremely hard to find one.
After handing more than half of my meal back I ordered banoffee pie.
That banoffee was 80% cream, dry and the biscuit had 0 butter in it cause to be like dry up crumbs that you would find in the bottom of a biscuit packet.
All and all this meal was not worth the price as the food was similar pre-made Tesco meal.

Great spot for a pint and some good eats. Friendly service, nice atmosphere. Several areas to choose from for seating - bar, smoking area, family area, near fireplaces, even a snug! Great Guinness Steak Pie and lovely goat cheese appetizer.
