Birthdays, anniversaries, retirement dinners, surprise proposals — Dunmore East has the setting. Here's how to set up the evening at The Spinnaker so it lands.

The setting

A coastal village in evening light. A pub fire if it's the season. The harbour a short walk after the meal. You don't need a Michelin star to make a memory; you need the right pub on the right evening.

How to book a special-occasion table

Ring The Spinnaker on (051) 383 133 or email spinnakerbardunmore@gmail.com — flag the occasion when you book. Peter will hold a quieter table, can talk through the night's specials in advance, and can sort little touches if you'd like (candle, cake, a particular wine).

Timing

Early evening — 6.30pm — books the golden-hour light through the meal. For Friday or Saturday, book a week ahead if you want the best table. Mid-week is quieter and you'll get more space.

Where to stay

Village B&Bs and small hotels mean you can walk from the meal rather than drive — important for a real evening out. Book accommodation at least a few days in advance for a weekend.

Quick questions

Can I bring a cake to The Spinnaker?

Ring (051) 383 133 ahead to arrange — Peter will plate and serve it for you.

Can I reserve a specific table?

Yes — flag the occasion when you book and ask for a quieter spot.

Is there a private room?

Ring or email to ask about a quieter area for a group — the answer depends on the night and group size.
