very disappointed with the food, value and service. Sunday lunch menu overpriced and food not up to scratch. staff unfriendly, did not even say thank you when processing payment, front of house staff really in need of training. the only thing going for this restaurant is the open fire, location, and old bar decor. will not be going back.

An improvement on our last visit, but still a way to go. Went to lunch, space a bit open & tables close together, nice open fire, new furniture. Food ok, pub grub, but not excessively priced, you wouldn't be running back licking your lips. Wait staff unprofessional & brusque or over familiar, asked about dinner menu no info given. I like this place as it has nostalgia for me, I await good management who can successfully run the dining end, so far all have been pretty dismal, & I have been coming here for about 30 years. Come on guys, put a bit of effort in, it will pay off.

Havent been to the Anglers for a number of years and went last Sunday afternoon with a toddler in tow Very disappointed with the entire experience not very welcoming - when we enquired about a high chair the response was"There might be one down the back!!" Had to request a children's menu when they came to take our order - when food arrived it was lukewarm (from the lunch menu) and no-one came to check - would not be back!

I ate here with a group for Thanksgiving. I am a regular and have shared some of the negative experiences shared by other reviewers, including most frustratingly a lack of feed-back from complaints, but will confine this review to my recent visit. I had the €14 special of the Mussels, Chips & Paulaner Beer. The beer was excellent, served ice cold and to perfection. The mussels too were good, but the chips were of the frozen & run of the mill variety. I noticed this because my friends who'd ordered steak sandwiches had huge chunky & delicious looking home-made chips. I finished off with a strong espresso, served with half a flake, a nice touch. The Angler's Rest can't be faulted for atmosphere, and the staff are refreshingly down to earth and friendly. I hope this restaurent takes reasonable criticism on board now so it can flourish in the future.

Have to agree with a couple of the past reviewers - this place talks the talk but can't walk the walk. Lovely setting and lovely surroundings but that is kind of where the lovely ends. Had Sunday lunch here with the in-laws (it's popular for that kind of thing) We were a largish party - nine of us but there was no excuse for the amount of time it took for food to get to the table. It was a full half hour before we saw starters after ordering - the most complicated of which was a seafood chowder. You do the maths on how long it should take to put together a few bowls of chowder. Anyways, that would have been fine if it hadn't been the same story with getting the mains. Another 35/40 minutes before we saw more food after our starter plates had been taken. Unacceptable. The food itself was pleasant enough, although my own battered cod had been overdone so it was all I could do to get to the fish inside the batter! Only one dessert was gotten at the end of it all - a sickly sweet bread and butter pudding that was left for the waiter's dog - having informed us earlier that anything we didn't eat, the dog would be getting. Unsuitable table talk for a waiter? You decide! The bill was totally unacceptable for what is effectively pub grub. The wine list is over-priced and needs a review. Might go back for a quiet drink at some stage but will not be gracing the restaurant doors again I'm afraid.
