Flanagans - Claremorris

We 've recently moved to the area and have been trying out a few places to become our new favourite place to eat. I think we 've found it. We were greeted by friendly staff and seated quickly. I started with Goat 's Cheese and Black Pudding which was superb. Creamy cheese, peppery pudding and some nicely spicy chorizo, perfect! For my main, I went for the steak. I asked for rare, very rare. This was checked again as our starter plates were being cleared and I confirmed I would like it 'Blue '. I was not disappointed. The fat on the steak was perfectly rendered and crispy while the meat was as rare as I 'd asked for. The flavour was exceptional. The chips were excellent, crisp outside, fluffy inside but not dry. You can tell the chef cares about the produce and this is reflected on the plate. All this was washed down with a gorgeous pint of Sheep Stealer. We will definitely return and hopefully, work our way through the menu and the specials.... But that steak.. Wow!

A group of five of us visited last Saturday evening, after three months of Covid lock down.A very tasty starter, main course,and dessert was served by very friendly staff. Social distancing in place and still a very nice atmosphere.

We went to Flanagans Gastro pub based on previous reviews. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We were encouraged to have the special which was lamb cutlets, sautéed potatoes and seasonal veg. Two of us had the special and one ordered fish and chips. The lamb cutlets were as tough as leather and overcooked, the potatoes and veg were also overcooked and I couldn’t help but think it was left overs for the lunch menu. The food was massively over seasoned and very unpleasant to eat. Additionally, the fish was overcooked. For the above reason we did not have a dessert and would not recommend it as a place to eat.

Popped in for Sunday lunch Good menu, loads of choice! Inexpensive, Excellent food, service and staff, will be back

I would say the chef must have had an off night. Ordered 4 meals.Two were ok. Two steaks asked for rare, came back medium rare, chewy.
