Start
Seared scallops on a slate plate with a glass of white wine, set at a window overlooking fishing boats in a small Irish harbour at dusk

Seafood · Wine · On the pier

Landed this morning. Plated tonight.

A small dining room at the end of the pier, cooking whatever the boats bring in — with butter, fire and not much else.

Twelve tables, one view, and a menu written at noon.

We buy from the boats tied up outside the window. If the weather keeps them in, the menu gets shorter — that’s the deal, and we think it’s a good one.

Expect Irish shellfish, line-caught fish cooked on the bone, a short list of natural and classic wines, and puddings your granny would recognise.

The Pier, Ballycove
