Reservation Policies in Dunmore East

How to book The Spinnaker
Phone (051) 383 133 — fastest, gets you the personal touch. Email spinnakerbardunmore@gmail.com — best for groups, specific table requests, or anything beyond standard booking. Walk-in works in the windows above when no booking is needed.
Cancellation and changes
Ring or email to cancel or change — same channels as booking. Reasonable notice means the table can be released for another diner; village pubs work on goodwill rather than card deposits for most bookings. Last-minute cancellation is bad form anywhere; ring as soon as you know.
