The Official PROC Restaurant review thread.

Had a family thing thing this weekend so 15 of us pitched up in Ballycotton to go to Seachurch.

Menu was basically one designed as a crowd pleaser.

you know the one exactly..Burger, Fish and Chips, Curry, Steak Sandwich, Pizza, some bit of Falafel for the vegans,

Nothing to set the pulse racing but it was lovely. Really well executed.

I got a black pudding salad thing and the fish and chips. Both were very nice. Fish exceptionally so, the only gripe I'd have is the portion size was colossal. Like two dinners worth, but give the people what they want I guess.

Missus got the Falafel and enjoyed it also (she's not vegan). everyone gave it the thumbs up.

Staff were sound we had kids crawling all over the place and they were fierce accommodating.

Mains were basically €20, Starters a tenner, wine was grand, they were flogging cocktails to all and sundry

Honestly though the best bit was the setting we were in the big bay window looking out over Ballynamona over to Garryvoe.

There aren't many places like it in the country, O'Looney's in lahinch springs to mind I'm sure there are others

it'll never be accused of being fine dining but 100% worth it of your down there and looking for a decent feed.

Had a bite there Sunday 2 weeks ago after doing the cliff walk. Excellent spot. Nothing fancy, but everything done to a high standard. No Beamish though, which is a serious blot on the copybook.

I went along to Ruairi's Kitchen ( old post office on High Street) at about 2pm today to hopefully get a takeaway lunch but alas it was closed. I checked the opening hours on Google and it seems it opens four days, Tuesday to Friday. Call me old-fashioned but what's wrong with opening Monday to Friday especially when closed at weekends. A good honest 5 -day week like! In fairness, maybe the owner has some other commitments but if you're starting a,venture like this, you could be there yourself 5 days, you need to be open and available. I have heard good reports so I will call back when I'm out that way again.

His main business is making wedding cakes so he can't open the cafe full time for now.

He's charging €9.80 for a take away toasted sandwich so consider yourself lucky it was closed.

He's also serving Moly Coffee which you can get in the actual Cafe Moly on Douglas Street, around a 5 minute walk away. They do decent toasties for €6.

Okay , fair enough..that makes sense. He's a busy man, nice to have his cafe open 4 days. Good luck to him. Thanks MOE
