    We have been going to the Purty Kitchen since they reopened. Having followed the lads from Rock Lobster. Unfortunately they seem to have caught the “shrinkflation” bug. The buffalo wings starter had 9 of the smallest wings possible for €11:90. The €20 burger only came with a handle full of chips and the best of all, 200ml bottles of coke. Hopefully this is only a temporary illness and not a permanent disease in The Purty Kitchen.

    Returned for a family (Birthday) meal. Menu changed and some of our favourites no longer available - why ?
    Purty KitchenResponded 3 days ago
    Hi Tom, I'm really sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy the new additions to our menu. We’d love to know which of your favourites you’re missing — your feedback is so important to us. Our previous menu had been in place for three years, and with the arrival of our new head chef, we felt it was the right time to refresh things and introduce some fresh spring flavours. If you’re happy to share more, feel free to reply here or email us. We’d genuinely appreciate hearing your thoughts. Warm regards, Emer & The Purty Team

    In addtion to the slow service two of the four meals were not as good as pervious visits. The fish pie lacked "fish", as it was mainly potatoes and the chicken supreme while tasty was slightly over cooked. Have had better meals in the past.
    Purty KitchenResponded 3 days ago
    Hi Therese, I'm very sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy your last visit with us. We genuinely value all feedback and have looked into the issue with the fish pie and chicken dish to ensure it's addressed. I do hope you'll consider another visit and give us the chance to make things right. If you do, please contact us directly when booking — I’d love to introduce myself and come by to say hi. Warm regards, Emer & The Purty Team

    Food could have been a little bit better. I had Moules frites and it was a tiny portion of Moules for a main course. Mussels are vvv cheap. Otherwise it was good, very buzzy and staff were great. Thanks

    Hi Lisa, I’m really sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy the Moules Frites as much as we do.

    We had a table for 5 in the heated patio area, on St. Patrick’s day. Food (mussels, burgers and sea bass) and service were superb as usual, but the terrace area was quite cold. Blankets were provided, and the overhead heaters were on, but we were quite cold coming from a 90 minute queue and 30 minute outdoor deck tour of an Irish Naval ship. We never really warmed up during the meal. The tables around the walls may have been a bit warmer, but we were in the centre, just beside the uncovered area, where some other diners went to smoke. I’d recommend the Purty kitchen but avoid the heated patio unless the outside temperature is over 15 degrees.
    Purty KitchenResponded 3 days ago
    Hi Paul, Firstly, thank you to you and your family for visiting us on St. Patrick’s Day — we truly appreciate you choosing to spend the day with us. I’m really sorry we didn’t have an indoor table available during your visit. It was an extremely busy day, and we understand how being out in the cold beforehand made things a bit tougher. That said, I’m delighted to hear you thoroughly enjoyed the food and service! We’d love to welcome you back soon — hopefully for a more relaxed experience indoors next time. Warm regards, Emer & The Purty Team
