East Pier

Located right on the working harbour, this relaxed seaside favourite serves locally caught fish, golden chips and simple, delicious dishes that pair perfectly with the sea air. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite after a swim, looking for a family-friendly lunch, or stopping off during a coastal drive, East Pier delivers that effortless holiday feeling.

What to Expect

Fresh, local fish

The menu focuses on quality seafood prepared simply — crisp batter, flaky fish and generous portions. You’ll often find haddock, cod and plaice sourced from local boats, along with prawns, calamari and daily specials depending on the catch.

Classic seaside comfort

From freshly cooked chips to scampi, burgers and soft-serve ice cream, East Pier blends high-quality seafood with the familiar comforts of a traditional Irish chipper — all enjoyed beside the water.

Perfect location

Set beside Dunmore East’s picturesque boats, cliffs and sandy coves, it’s the ideal stop after:

• a swim at Councillors Strand

• a cliff walk

• a boat tour

• exploring the village’s craft shops and cafes

Most people enjoy their meal outdoors, taking in the salty breeze and watching the activity on the pier.

Family-friendly and relaxed

East Pier is informal, welcoming and great for all ages. Kids can enjoy the fresh chips and ice creams, while adults savour some of the best seafood in the region.
