We go to Hotel West End every week for the trivia night. The food and service is excellent and it’s a very pleasant atmosphere: not too noisy, light and airy, spacious. And the trivia host is clear, well-organised and fun. Nice place for a group/family meal as you don’t have to yell at each other to be heard.

The staff were friendly,helpful and welcoming. Couldn't fault their service. The food was absolutely delicious. We had a 3 course meal and every plate was divine. Thank you chefs !!!!!! The only down fall is the high tables in the restaurant are more like something you find at your local pub. I wouldve though "Lennon's restaurant " would only have ALL the table as a restaurant table not bar table for some and a dinner table for others and you don't get to choose.
