RESTAURANT REVIEW. If you are searching for a restaurant, not too expensive, offering honest quality food but with a twist that gives you a sense of place, then look no further than Feast on Gorey Pier.
A fabulous location, a little harbour in front a majestic castle towering above… why bother to travel abroad? You won’t beat it.
It’s simple really: forget all the marketing jargon, give the customers what they want at a good price and they will come back. That’s Annie Fenwick’s formula at Feast on Gorey Pier.
Honest cooking, honestly priced, as the regulars will affirm, you are in for a treat. There is a small well-chosen wine list, again honestly priced, with some unusual and good value wines and the selection changes regularly. This year Annie has installed a machine, which uses an inert gas to keep wine in the bottle fresh when opened so the choice of wines by the glass is wide ranging and good.
Starters (and don’t be fooled by the term) are very large and range from £5.50 to £7.50. The main courses from £11 to £16 and puddings (desserts if you are trying to impress) at £5.50. The portions all the way through are sustaining and the puddings anathema to calorie counters. Sunday lunch is £16.50 for two courses and £19 for three. Superb value but you must book well in advance.
Over the months I have worked through the starters and I prefer either the moules, or the scallops and pancetta to set me up for the meal. The sticky spare ribs and the crispy deep fried squid are offered as a starter or a main course and are both very special and very filling. Aficionados tell me the fish soup is excellent and the fish pie as a main course has a loyal following.
Watch out for the regular wine dinners with guest speakers, but tables for these need to be booked well in advance.
