At The Blackbird Ballycotton, great food is just as important as a great atmosphere, and that’s where The TrawlerBoyz come in! This incredible family-run business, led by the hardworking MacNamara family, is famous for serving up some of the best seafood in Ireland – fresh, flavourful, and always made with passion.

Their menu is packed with mouthwatering daily specials, including fresh-off-the-boat pan-fried fish, indulgent pasta dishes, and a tempting selection of home-baked sweet treats.

But it’s not just about the food – it’s about the experience. Expect friendly smiles, fast service, and a whole lot of good craic while you tuck into your meal.
