We recently visited the Red Store for a family gathering the day after our wedding. We had originally planned to be seared in the Courtyard but due to so e extreme weather, John and Karen arrsnged for us to use the upstairs function room instead and it was perfect! Everyone (musicians included!) were made to feel very at home and welcome. We had organised for hot finger food and sandwiches and we were not disappointed - the food was so fresh and tasty and all of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed it. Thsnk you Karen, John and staff for looking after us so well!

Went for a Sunday Spin, got hungry, found the Quays and went in. Oh the joy! The place is gorgeous. Fireplace, wooden paneling, stuff on shelves and upstairs a gorgeous Library with fireplace and comfortable seats. It was very inviting. There was still a good choice even though we were late. My husband had beef dinner. I had seafood chowder with a plate of vegetables. Chowder was full of fish and really creamy, gorgeous, veg lovely. My husband said the beef dinner was really tasty and the stuffing was really nice. Altogether it was a great experience. The staff were very attentive and genuine, and the toilets were lovely!

I often get takeaways from the Ho Inn when I'm around in Youghal. They do a delicious vegetarian spring roll - very crispy and tasty and they have a large range of dishes such as stirfried broccoli as a side order and it's very good value. They have the standard range of vegetarian options and service is swift and friendly.
