"Staying in Ellsworth this week and decided to try The Poacher for our dinner (4 adults) . Well what a treat. The home cooked food was absolutely delicious. Home cooked , is such an over used term, but this was just that. The 2 chaps went for Wagu burgers , which they said were juicy and lean and delicious. My friend , a super cook and foodie herself, had Scampi , which she said was the best she ever tasted and in 30 years I have never heard her say that about anything we have eaten away from home . I had a wonderful childhood memory lane comfort meal. A beautifully prepared and cooked, meaty real Smoked Haddock fillet on proper mash with perfectly cooked cabbage and cauliflower, topped with creamy parsley sauce. My tastebuds were transported to my grandmother’s kitchen from many decades gone . Strangely the landlord said the dish was in memory of his grandfather. We were definitely full after main course but couldn’t resist a peak at the desert menu. Oh my poor waist band. I thought I made a great sponge but wow the sticky ginger sponge with juicy chunks of stem ginger and perfect custard sauce accompaniment really was the icing on the comfort food cake. Great, super friendly service and bar . All in all a damn good find . I have never written a review for a pub restaurant before but I felt compelled. If you like good honest, well sourced, local unpretentious food , then this place will definitely not let you down."

I've only visited early on a Monday and the place has barely opened, but the landlord is always friendly and it is so quiet and relaxing. I imagine it gets hopping at times. View menu

They're absolutely fantastic at accommodating dietary restrictions. They had a choice of two dairy free/vegan hot deserts, which is unreal for a village pub. Good beer, and there's an indoor dog zone for eating so good for both dog and non-dog people.

What a unique find, a delightful pub run by husband and wife, David and Colleen, offering truly wonderful food. They source all their food seasonally from carefully selected suppliers and cook each dish beautifully. They are both so dedicated to what they do, I highly recommend a visit… Wagyu dirty burger, slow cooked chilli and salmon Wellington tried and all given 5* !!!
