What User likes about The Lighthouse:
Nice to see a few vegetarian options, I had the burger with relish which was nice with red cabbage, away from the ordinary salad. Served by a very pleasant young lad, legend. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about The Lighthouse:
We would normally recommend The Lighthouse for a special meal as we have had some great experiences in the past. I'm afraid the current menu didn't hit the spot for our party of not as amazingly tasty as previously and everyone left hungry I'm sure we will be back though at some point. View all feedback.

Nestled in the picturesque village of Gardenstown, The Lighthouse has garnered a reputation for its seafood, particularly its fish and chips. While past visits have left diners delighted, recent reviews suggest a decline in culinary excellence. Patrons noted inconsistent flavor profiles and portion sizes, with some leaving unsatisfied. However, friendly service remains a highlight, and those who try the vegan options express appreciation. Several guests commend the generous portions and quick service, promising a mixed bag of experiences. For both new visitors and returnees, The Lighthouse still holds potential, though expectations may need recalibration.
