Bank Holiday Monday saw the opening up of outdoor dining and licenced premises across the country. We are delighted to say Fingallians matched the best of them. Full house, fine food and drink and the sun shining, what more could you ask for. Big thank you to Feidhlim and all the staff for the tremendous work done throughout the day and evening. The Courtyard will be opening up again at the weekend. Friday open at 5pm, Saturday 3pm and Sunday 2pm.
Bookings will be taken from 5pm to 8pm on Thursday evening.
