We went to Durty Nelly's as a large group, service was excellent, we were well looked after. The menu is varied and the kids menu is really good, offering burger and chips (chunky home made) fish fingers, chicken goujons etc...(all good homemade quality) . We ate from the set 'April' menu which was 3 courses for 25 euros including a... More

I had seafood chowder and it was really good. Too touristy for my liking, but the Chinese loved it (and there were plenty of them) More
