The Strand Cahore

The Strand Cahore is a long-held dream realised by proprietors Aileen and Patrick Hanley. This stunning eatery sits atop a hill facing out towards the great Irish Sea, just outside the quiet seaside village of Ballygarrett, Co. Wexford and 1 hour from Dublin.

With years of extensive experience in the hospitality industry, Aileen & Patrick spent five years looking for the perfect location to realise their dream of opening their establishment. Constant searches kept bringing their attention back to a pub located on Cahore Pier with much potential. Thus, The Strand Cahore came to be.

Aileen and Patrick’s experience in the food and hospitality industry makes the dining experience at The Strand Cahore exceptional. Putting their hotelier stamp on the place, visitors are greeted with a warm and personable welcome. The decor and ambience of The Strand Cahore are influenced by that of a traditional Irish Pub, inviting locals or passers-by to sit back and relax in comfort with a good pint or glass of wine. At the same time, they enjoy a meal of delicious local fayre.

So, what can visitors expect from a meal at The Strand Cahore? Aileen and Patrick are dedicated to bringing the best flavours to the plate and so have scoured the country for great tasting ingredients. These include a tremendous herb-crusted Rack of Kerry Lamb. Kerry Lamb grazes on heather and grasses, giving an irresistible flavour, resulting in a simple yet carefully constructed dish that goes back to basics and treats diners.

While they have created a recipe for success with their seaside venture, they’re not resting on their laurels. They finally purchased this iconic property in June of 2021, and now that they have it lovingly in their hands, Whatever the future may hold, it’s clear that a knack for hospitality and a passion for good food is a winning combination when it comes to The Strand Cahore.
