Hendley's Fish Chips - Rathdrum

Stopping off here for a quick bag of chips, we were surprised to see that there was an eat in facility, which we availed of. The service was prompt, very friendly in clean surroundings overlooking the river, Our order developed into 2 breasts of chicken and chips with two Cokes, The chicken was cooked just right and the breasts were of a generous size, with plenty of accompanying chips. A substantial meal for less than €20. Well worth stopping here.

This is a little gem in avoca village . It’s a great restaurant and takeaway with simple comfort food at a great price . I’ve eaten here since I was a child and can’t fault the food or service

Had excellent fish and chips, and chicken nuggets. Saw burgers being cooked too while waiting and they looked very good too. Service is very friendly and food cooked fresh, but not a long wait. It is possible to call ahead and order. Seems very popular with locals which is usually a good sign!

After enjoying a great morning in Glendalough, we continued our journey south and stopped by Avoca in search of some delicious fish and chips. We found our way to Ms. Hendley's humble shop, where we watched her prepare fresh cod fillets by dipping them in batter and frying them to perfection. The hot, fresh, and incredibly tasty fish and chips made for a satisfying lunch, definitely worth the drive if you're in the area. One of us opted for a salad instead of the hand-cut chips, but it was nothing special compared to the sublime chips. Overall, a great value for a memorable lunch experience.

The tasty seafood and exceptionally friendly and accommodating staff at this charming location make it a must-visit spot!
