Dining at Daffy’s is a real treat - fireside seating, great company and delicious food from an award-winning chef, perfect for a cosy date night, a gathering with friends or an after-work catch-up that guarantees good craic.
The menu is built for sharing, with plenty of standout dishes for two (or more), alongside plates you’ll be reluctant to pass around. Everything is seasonal, so it changes regularly, but you might find dishes like butterfly mackerel satay, wood-fired whole chicken, whole wild seabass and the legendary Sugar Pit pork.
For non-meat eaters, there’s just as much to get excited about, including Cauliflower Bhaji with smoked pineapple and cashew cream.
If you’re sharing, you can go big with the Suckling Pig, served with crispy pig ears and smoked pear, or the wood-fired sirloin, finished with your choice of leek or bone marrow butter and a selection of sides.
