Hook Ladder Shannon

This is a lovely restaurant with a great selection of lunch options, including salads, main dishes, and sandwiches. They also offer a variety of teas, coffees, cakes, and tarts. I tried the vegan bun with almond butter, and it was absolutely delicious, paired with some Americana coffee.

I had lunch here last week, and while the food was delightful, the service truly stood out even more. My server, whose name I believe was Sean, went above and beyond to make my experience enjoyable. He exemplified excellent customer service. I would return just to have a conversation with him again.

The restaurant has a lovely aesthetic and nice decor. However, my burger was slightly burnt and tough on the outside. The chips, on the other hand, were delicious. I also had to navigate two flights of stairs to reach the restroom.

Worst seafood chowder ever. I was so disappointed when I got that huge bowl of soup,which literally was a potato soup with a few prawns. Quantity over quality. Probably the same base as the soup of the day,for this money..... Goat cheese salad was nice though, decoration is lovely.

The 3 stars are for the male (manager? who served us and was extremely professional and courteous, plus the elderflower tea. We werent impressed by the very pricey food- vegetarian option(only 1 main option??! was a large lump of bread covered in hummus and sweet chili sauce- no creativity at all and the few falafels thrown on top were gross. Wont be returning for that price and lack of options
