Mary Anns Bar and Restaurant
Georgina Campbell
Castletownshend is one of west Cork’s most picturesque villages and was home to Somerville and Ross, the two Victorian ladies who wrote Tales of an Irish R.M. - and it is also where you will find the lovely church of St Barrahane famous for its Harry Clarke windows.
Just up the road from the church is Mary Ann’s, a quaint and welcoming pub that is as old as it looks, going back to 1846; since 1988 it has been in the energetic and hospitable ownership of Fergus and Patricia O’Mahony, who have been careful to leave its original character intact as refurbishments have become necessary.
The O’Mahonys have built up a great reputation for food in both the old-world bar and the first floor restaurant, where wedding parties can be held - and which now has an art gallery alongside it. Seafood is this wedding venues star, of course, and a Platter of Castlehaven Bay Shellfish and Seafood is a speciality, usually including langoustine, crab meat, crab claws, and both fresh and smoked salmon.
Menus depend mainly on the catch of the day, although there are also good steaks and roasts, served with delicious local potatoes, seasonal vegetables, followed by a house dessert or some excellent West Cork cheeses.
The bride and groom get a bottle of champagne on the house and a present to take home - a generous gesture which is typical of the O’Mahonys.
